2022 Ram 3500 problems
The Ram pickup (marketed as the Dodge Ram until 2010) is a full-size pickup truck manufactured by Stellantis North America (formerly Chrysler Group LLC and FCA US LLC) and marketed from 2010 onwards under the Ram Trucks brand. The current fifth-generation Ram debuted at the 2018 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, in January of that year.
Previously, Ram was part of the Dodge line of light trucks. The name Ram was first used in 1981 model year Dodge Trucks in October 1980, following the retiring and rebadging of the Dodge D series pickup trucks as well as B-series vans, though the company had used a ram's-head hood ornament on some trucks as early as 1933.
Ram trucks have been named Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year eight times; the second-generation Ram won the award in 1994, the third-generation Ram heavy-duty won the award in 2003, the fourth-generation Ram Heavy Duty won in 2010 and the fourth-generation Ram 1500 won in 2013 and 2014, and the current fifth-generation Ram pickup became the first truck in history to win the award three times, winning in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

Common 2022 Ram 3500 problems
The 2022 Ram 3500 has been reported to have several common problems by its owners, including powertrain issues, fuel system failures, and transmission component failures.
One of the most common powertrain problems is transmission failure, which is compounded by a general issue with a lack of parts. The investigation is focused on a failure of the K1 snap ring in 2022 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks, which has resulted in 82 complaints alleging loss of motive power due to an internal transmission failure. Of these complaints, 16 describe a complete loss of motive power at speeds greater than 25 miles per hour, without the ability for the vehicle to resume normal operation. The snap ring becomes dislodged and forward gears 1 to 4 are no longer functional during a failure, potentially leaving the vehicle disabled.
Another common problem with the 2022 Ram 3500 is fuel system failures. Several owners have reported issues with the fuel pump, with some trucks left on the side of the road due to fuel system failures. In one case, the fuel pump came apart, leaving the truck stranded with a load of cows.
The 2022 Ram 3500 has also been reported to have issues with its power steering system. One owner reported that the power steering just turned off, leaving them stranded on the side of the road in the desert with livestock and their family. After being stuck in a hotel for three days, the power steering failed again, leaving the owner without a truck for over three weeks and no communication from FCA.
In addition to these issues, the 2022 Ram 3500 has also been reported to have problems with its turbo and front-end, with some owners experiencing failures at just 3,000 miles.
Overall, the 2022 Ram 3500 has been reported to have several common problems, including transmission failures, fuel system failures, power steering issues, and turbo and front-end problems. These issues have resulted in stranded vehicles, lengthy repairs, and a lack of communication from FCA, leaving some owners frustrated and dissatisfied with their trucks.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-03
- VIN: 3C63R3JL0NG
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Transmission failed in heavy interstate traffic while towing 35 ft 15,000 lbs RV. My RAM 3500 only has 19,000 miles and is still under new vehicle warranty. The event: While travelling on Washington DC beltway in lane 3 of 4 without warning my transmission starting slipping. No abnormal noise, no dash lamps warning of an issue. As I pressed on accelerator my speed continued to decrease. I quickly signaled to right lane in an attempt to get off the road. I was slowing at a rate I was concerned I may be stopped on highway with vehicles traveling 55 mph approaching. I did make the shoulder in between an exit and entrance ramp with barely enough room for a tow truck to be in front. I had 3 ft on my left with 55mph traffic passing constantly. The vehicle was towed to a local RAM dealer as my wife and I waited on the highway with RV for second tow service. This all could have been avoided. Why was a TSB or recall already in place? RAM has many transmission failures on the 2022 Aisin transmission noted on RAM truck forums. I had read about it but considered myself lucky as I was almost 2 years driving truck without any problems. My safety, my wife and tow truck drivers safety were put at considerable risk due to Stellantis not alerting RAM dealers of a potential transmission failure. Research Noah Leotta Police Officer Montgomery County Maryland. The circumstances we experienced were exactly how he lost his life. I have not received work ticket from dealership, I will follow up with documentation when requested.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-19
- VIN: 3C63R3FL4NG
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: The engine stopped while driving with no warning and provided no opportunity to exit the travel lane of the road. No warning lights were illuminated on the dashboard and all gauges appeared normal leading up to the event. This event is extremely frustrating, but I am thankful that it didn't happen on the interstate as there is no telling what the outcome may have been......... Leading up to the event, I had been driving on the interstate around 70mph for about 180 miles since the last restart. I exited the interstate and made it about 3/4 miles on a secondary road and the engine died without warning and the truck came to a quick stop in the lane of travel. No abnormal sounds were observed, just a sudden unwelcome deacceleration that did not provide enough time to exit the lane of travel. It was like stepping on the brakes. I attempted to restart the truck and the starter would not crank the engine and briefly pulled enough voltage to kill all the electronics. I attempted starting it again with a jump box attached and met the same result. The computers freaking out from the low voltage during the starting attempts wouldn't allow me to put the truck in neutral to move it out of the lane of travel. A police officer called for the tow truck on rotation since I was stuck in a live travel lane. The truck was towed to the Dealer on 8/19/2024 after the service department had closed and still would not turn over when removed from the tow truck. There were no signs of any fluids leaking from the truck after the event........ The next day the Service Advisor called and advised there were only 3 codes stored related to low voltage. Truck is waiting for a tech to become available to further investigate.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-27
- VIN: 3C63R3EL6NG
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: My truck experienced a total transmission failure while at Highway Speed towing a 5th wheel camper on Interstate I95. This transmission failure is a known issue and has a TSB 21-002-23. A k1 clutch clip becomes dislodged and the transmission will not function. Being stranded and unable to move on a busy highway is unsafe and terrifying. Aisin Transmission and RAM are well aware of this failure however I was never notified about the potential failure nor has a recall been issued. The failure occurred instantly with no warning in a vehicle with 16,000 miles and less than 2 years old. My vehicle has been repaired and the failure was confirmed as the K1 clutch clip failure. There should be an immediate recall for this known failure to be repaired prior to being stranded on the side of the highway, 400 miles from home with my wife and kids. It's shameful RAM has ignored this problem!

- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-05
- VIN: 3C63RPHLXNG
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: On June 5th, 2024 while pulling a travel trailer on vacation, we stopped for a short break and left the truck running. When we went to get back on the highway, I put the truck in gear and nothing happened. Truck would only shift into reverse with a violent bang. Would not go forward. Unhooked my trailer and shifted into REVERSE a few times and finally got the truck to inch forward at HIGH RPM. Towed to a Ram dealer and they confirmed a snap ring failure caused the forward clutches to go out. Truck is still awaiting repairs 445 miles from home.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-19
- VIN: 3C63RRJL5NG
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: The Deisel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), SUPPLY LINE (part #57008975AA) has been replaced on my truck 4 times in 113 k miles. It now needs replaced again. The last 2 times were less than 5000 miles each. It is a plastic line that runs from the DEF tank and passes nearby the exhaust filter which is very hot. A RAM dealer in Georgia told me they have sold/replaced many of these lines. When cracked, they leak DEF in large volumes on the ground which then becomes contaminated.

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-09
- VIN: 3C63R3RL8NG
- Components: POWER TRAIN,ENGINE
- Summary: I was driving coming to a stop for a red light and it turns green. As I go to press on the gas my dashboard lights up with error codes stating a 4WD System error of some kind. As I go to press on the gas the truck loses power and acceleration and starts making a horrible clunking noise. I took it to the dealer because it seems like a transmission issue. This is a 2022 Ram 3500 with 9300 miles at time of failure. I would hate to see what happens if I was towing a large load to lose power all of a sudden risking my life and others around me. Based on what I have researched it seems like a K1 Snap Ring issue to the T. Waiting on the "official" diagnosis from the dealer.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-04-13
- VIN: 3C63R3EL3NG
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: When pulling onto the interstate on ramp (45 mph) the truck attempted to shift up when all transmission power failed. The engine ran fine, just no power. I was able to safely pull to the shoulder and park . s Shifting from drive to neutral to park and back to drive still did not resolve the issue. I put the truck in park and shut off the engine . The transmission fluid temp, color and level was ok. I restarted the truck and shifted to reverse with no problem then to neutral and drive. It felt that the transmission engaged and I slowly crept forward. I slowly accelerated and was able to resume speed. No subsequent loss of power has been encountered, BUT the truck now has slippage from 1st to 2nd gear and occasionally 3rd. Had I been on the interstate this has a potential for serious accident incident. This is the first time this has happened. I had bought the truck used and certified from the dealer in Pennsylvania. There is currently 28k miles on the truck. There were and still no warning or codes to indicate a problem This occurred [XXX] 2024. No dealer, tech or shop has looked at this issue.

- VIN: 3C63R3EL6NG
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: My trucks transmission experienced a complete failure, it is currently at the dealership awaiting parts and repair The failure renders the truck without any forward power almost immediately with only reverse left functioning, we were fortunate that it broke down in a residential neighborhood and not the freeway. The truck was towed to the local dealership, they tore down the transmission and confirmed a K1 snap ring failure and that it would be covered under wtty. I got a malfunction indicator light a few days prior then a message on the dash "4 wheel drive system temporarily unavailable" about 10 miles before complete failure.

POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-03-29
- VIN: 3C63RRKL3NG
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Concerned that my truck may be affected by the Aisin K1 snap ring failure problem currently being investigated by NHTSA. I have no way of knowing whether or not my transmission is reliable long term, nor can I prove to a future buyer that it is safe and reliable. Not only does this issue affect my trust in using the truck, but it also has a significant negative impact on the resale value of the truck. Buyers are aware that 2022 Aisin trucks have issues and this makes the vehicle harder to sell.
