Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The brake and accelerator pedals are not aligned well. It is very easy for your foot to slip between the two when moving from the accelerator to the brake. The offset heights and distance of travel result in your foot slipping in-between them. This prevents the vehicle from stopping and can cause an accident. It seems like the accelerator pedal should be further forward than the brake pedal. I don't have this issue with any other vehicles I have driven. I'm 6' with a size 11 boot. My entire boot slips between these pedals easily.

I PURCHASED THIS 2022 RAM 3500 MENTIONED ABOVE WITH 10 MILES ON IT. I DROVE IT 159 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WOULD NOT MOVE. THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO MENTIONED THEY HAD TWO OTHER TRUCKS THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR OVER A MONTH... AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY TIMEFRAME ON WHEN IT COULD BE FIXED OR A RESOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. I'M HOPING THERE'S A LEMON LAW I CAN ADDRESS AND WILL HAVE TO BE ON THE HUNT FOR A NEW TRUCK ONCE AGAIN, AS IT'S PART OF MY LIVELIHOOD!

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On 4/6/2023 at around 3:15 PM, our 2022 Ram 3500 HO 6.7 Cummins coupled with the Aisin AS69RC Transmission which failed at between 40 to 50 MPH while towing a 40' travel trailer. It was sudden when we heard two very loud clunks with jerking that coincided with each. Fortunately I was able to quickly pull onto a wide area of the shoulder from the center lane and not block or impact traffic. This could have had a high impact on traffic and the safety of others during this incident. We do not know how it could have impacted vehicle control. All forward gears were inoperative after the failure. We were stranded there for more than 3 hours waiting for two wreckers. One for the truck and one for the trailer. This was more than just an inconvenience and huge added expense that flowed into the following day when you realize what technology you rely on built into the truck. We use both vehicles for working remotely for long periods of time in a large 4 state area on the west coast. The longer this takes to remedy, impacts our ability to use the trailer. The biggest concern was the impact to our safety and to the public had we not been able to make it to the shoulder of the freeway. Truck has been inspected by a Ram Dealer. They have indicated that parts have been ordered. Ram Care has been contacted twice and a case good case number (85915865) has been created. We know of more than 160 other owners with the same story of the transmission failure with and without towing. Some have not made it home from the purchase of their vehicle. There is a group on Facebook that is capturing incidences of this with other Ram HO-6.7 Cummins-Aisin AS69RC transmission trucks. Dealer indicated they already have another vehicle on the lot (two weeks) with the same issue. There was zero warning. Failure was instantaneous.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Transmission failure while towing a travel trailer on a busy street on a slight incline. While traveling about 45 mph felt a jolt and truck lost power and would not accelerate. Felt like truck was in neutral. Truck would not engage Drive and was completely disabled in the number one lane. Tried to re engage the transmission and had success at engaging a higher gear with slow speed and high RPMs causing the engine and transmission to overheat and possibly start a fire. Safely moved across lanes to shoulder and stopped. The street is 55mph. Cars were slamming on their brakes to avoid colliding into my truck or trailer. This happened on March 30, 2023 and has been at the dealership for repairs since and has not been even inspected yet yet. No indicator or warning lamps prior to failure.

Potential Consequences:
Bought 1/16/23, Failed 4/1/23 Transmission failed at 1,421mi. While towing a light trailer utilizing the tow/haul mode through the mountains of VA traffic. Stepped on the fuel pedal and an audible “Clunk” was heard. Immediately after, we lost all forward momentum and we’re able to slowly creep off the highway. Safety of all was put at risk as a dead vehicle was now blocking traffic on the highway. Check “engine” lamp came on immediately after audible sound. Gears 1-4 were inoperable with only 5-6 and reverse functioning. After further review, a TSB was published and sent to dealerships 1/11/23 stating the potential issue of a faulty part within the transmission of 2022 Ram 3500 6.7L models.
