Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The engine has a mind of its own and decides not to do engine breaking even if the driver downshifts. I first noticed this at low mileage when slightly tapping on the breaks would sometimes cause engine breaking as long as I kept my foot off the accelerator. However if I down shifted for additional engine breaking on the same slope the engine would scream revving up to 6000 RPM without slowing the truck at all, NO ENGINE BREAKING! So last week this problem nearly cost my life. I was going down a mountain pass with my 4500 lb RV which is well within the advertised 7000 lb allowed towing capacity but if I let my foot off the gas, no breaking. This is normal and the driver just downshifts to introduce some breaking. So i down shifted from 5th and the engine responded with a self destructive scream reving up to 6000 RPM and yes NO ENGINE BREAKING. I did not think much of it after all I still have the breaks right? So feathered the breaks for about 10 minutes or so thinking nothing of it. Even tapping the break to tell the onboard computer I need engine breaking is not working even though it was working when minimal engine breaking was needed. Out of pure luck I decided to stop at a mountain spring to get some fresh spring water and that is when I notice wait a minute, this car is barely stopping!! I got out of the car just short of the end of the pullover spot and was greeted with the smell of burning break pads! THE FRONT BREAK PADS WERE SMOKING! What is sad is that the same RV on the same pass on my 20 year old 12 passenger van easily manages this when I down shift to second gear with some minor feathering of the breaks and never in 10 years had issue with the slightest heating of the break pads. BY DISABLING ENGINE BREAKING CHRYSLER HAS CREATED A SERIOUS INJURY HAZARD.

BY DISABLING ENGINE BREAKING CHRYSLER HAS CREATED A SERIOUS INJURY HAZARD.

Additional Notes:

The engine has a mind of its own and decides not to do engine breaking even if the driver downshifts. I first noticed this at low mileage when slightly tapping on the breaks would sometimes cause engine breaking as long as I kept my foot off the accelerator. However if I down shifted for additional engine breaking on the same slope the engine would scream revving up to 6000 RPM without slowing the truck at all, NO ENGINE BREAKING! So last week this problem nearly cost my life. I was going down a mountain pass with my 4500 lb RV which is well within the advertised 7000 lb allowed towing capacity but if I let my foot off the gas, no breaking. This is normal and the driver just downshifts to introduce some breaking. So i down shifted from 5th and the engine responded with a self destructive scream reving up to 6000 RPM and yes NO ENGINE BREAKING. I did not think much of it after all I still have the breaks right? So feathered the breaks for about 10 minutes or so thinking nothing of it. Even tapping the break to tell the onboard computer I need engine breaking is not working even though it was working when minimal engine breaking was needed. Out of pure luck I decided to stop at a mountain spring to get some fresh spring water and that is when I notice wait a minute, this car is barely stopping!!

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The truck engine stop running as I was accelerating from a stop at an intersection. It auto-shifted to park and required me to restart the truck. Thankfully this was not a busy intersection or pulling out on a highway. This is the 2nd time it has happened in less than 30 days. In my opinion, this is a major safety hazard that needs more attention given by the manufacturer. Someone could be seriously injured if this happens in a busy intersection. There were no warnings or messages at the time of the failure. The next step is bringing it to the service center.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING

Potential Consequences:

April 8th, 2022, we began having concerns with the safety of the vehicle when the vehicle would not turn off after pressing the off button. The speakers were intermittently working (specific zones not working and eventually all sound lost), no back up alert sounds when vehicle in reverse. After multiple attempts, the vehicle turned off. The next day we started the vehicle and it seemed as though everything had “reset” itself. On 4/13/23 the standing issues mentioned above continued to occur. We brought the vehicle back into Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Brooksville. The Body Control Module was replaced at that time. We picked up the vehicle on 4/25/23. After leaving the dealership, approximately 3 miles down the road, the radio and speakers began to malfunction, and the back-up sensor was not alarming nor producing any sound. The dealership was immediately contacted, and we were told to bring the vehicle back to be serviced once business hours resumed (it was 5:30pm when we picked the vehicle up). Videos were taken to corroborate malfunctions and provided to dealership. 4/26/23 - While driving 45 mph. the emergency brake engaged, bringing the vehicle to a screeching halt. On 5/10/23, while driving at 55mph, the vehicle lost all power The sound system/speakers lost all functionality as well. Videos were taken to corroborate malfunctions and provided to dealership.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

On May 5, 2023 I was driving home when my new 2022 Ram 1500 ECODIESEL truck broke down. It has been at the dealership ever since then. The high pressure fuel pump went out. The dealership requested that I call Chrysler and request a buy back process because the pumps has a recall on it. So I called Chrysler and requested the buy back process and was informed by Chrysler today since they don’t have the parts they are going back with the same pump even though it has a recall on it putting my life and my family life in danger. Please help me! How is possible that they can go back with the same parts when it has a recall on those parts?

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While driving down the road the battery falls rapidly from 14 to 11.8 or less causing the battery light and engine light to come on, and the unit to start losing power and die. The truck has been in the shop several times with still no repairs completed. They have given me back the unit telling me there’s nothing they can do and not sure what is causing it. The ecm data has pulled several codes, but yet the dealer still won’t repair based on those codes. I have been told sorry, there’s nothing further we can do. Mean while the truck continues to die while driving down the road which has put me and my family’s life in danger when the unit just rapidly dies and there’s no time to exit a freeway causing you to shut down the unit in the middle of the road. Hoping you can get it restarted and on your way before someone hit you. This vehicle is unsafe to drive, and has been an on going problem for 10 months now. It’s been in two separate shops and still no repairs and ram care has refused to send a tech out to assist. The unit was taken into the shop for a 3rd time with engine, battery light on while dying and I was told sorry, they don’t have time to look into it. Not it’s back in for the 4th time, and still no repairs have been made. I was told the codes that it’s pulling out the ECM data cost over $15,000 in repairs and they are not going to go that way unless they know exactly which part will fix it issue to take the truck back and they’re sorry. sorry it does not save me and my family‘s life when the unit dies in the middle of a road and someone slams into you on a freeway again. This is putting my families life at risk, which eventually will cause a fatality. Ram still has done nothing. No assistance. I am not out 80k for a unit that is not safe to drive and un tradable!

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Potential Consequences:

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 65 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and parked on the side of the roadway. The contact later restarted the vehicle, and the Forward Collision Avoidance warning light was no longer illuminated. The contact stated that while driving to his destination, the Forward Collision Avoidance feature failed to alert him of another vehicle in front. The brake pedal was depressed to stop the vehicle immediately. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and two other dealers, Whitten Brothers Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Richmond (10701 Midlothian Turnpike, Richmond, VA 23235) and Farrish Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (9610 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax, VA 22031); however, all three dealers were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to Farrish Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (9610 Fairfax Blvd, Fairfax, VA 22031) for a third diagnostic test. The failure mileage was approximately 8,000.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

On 4/7/23 the vehicle was taken into the shop because it cutoff randomly. The dealership kept it 2 days and said they couldn’t replicate the issue. On 5/7/23 I was on my way home driving roughly 40-45 MPH. The vehicle shutoff causing my steering to not work and my brakes to not work.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

The truck died periodically before or after a stop in the middle of intersections or just driving along. It has been in for inspection multiple times and one recall on it for some processor. It died a week later. Went in for hybrid control processor update which did not correct the issue. Shop said they were unable to duplicate any abnormal condition, no stored or active codes or pending updates at this time. Don't know when this thing is going to get me hurt or worse. No warning lights or messages prior to the failure.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While driving and pulling a camper, the truck stalled and the park brake activated. The truck would not start again and was stuck in the left lane of a two-way lane road. Luckily no one was following close or they would have rear-ended the camper as no braking occurred- the truck just stalled. We were in an area (Douthat state park) with no cell signal and had to get out of the vehicle on the road to get help. There were no warning at all before the truck stalled. The truck had to be towed to a dealership. The feedback from the dealership is that they need to open up the engine to determine what happened but there is a 3-week wait so I don’t know what failed.
