Ram 1500 Classic Electrical problems by year

Performance) and P0EA7 (Auxiliary Coolant Pump Control Circuit Performance) emerged, governed by Stellantis TSB 07-003-22. The vehicle was brought repeatedly to authorized dealer [[redacted]] CDJR ([[redacted]]) under Service Director [[redacted]] for safety remediation. Instead of curing the root electrical and cooling failures, the dealer engaged in a 5-month cycle of clearing codes, withholding Wi-Tech diagnostic logs, and holding the truck across multiple visits for over 45 cumulative days. During these extended holds, the vehicle suffered multiple deep-discharge battery cycles and parasitic drains, further degrading safety-critical electrical modules. The dealer then refused to release the vehicle without payment of an unsubstantiated $1,796.98 balance, unlawfully grounding a compromised vehicle while withholding proof of diagnostic repairs. Despite exhaustive pre-suit efforts, dealer management stonewalled all resolution. Formal complaints were logged with the WA Attorney General (File [redacted]), WA Dept. of Licensing (File [redacted]), and FTC (Report [redacted]). Active civil litigation is pending in Clark County Superior Court (Case [redacted]) with a 12-person jury pursuit. Chronic auxiliary cooling pump failure creates severe sudden shutdown risks in traffic. Federal defect investigation is urgently requested.

controls has not worked. No lights, no codes, no indication that the panel is even connected to the truck in any way. Luckily, I believe this will be covered under the Carvana limited warranty. I am scheduling an appointment by Monday to get it evaluated. I am a new member to the RAM online forum. In the forum there are many many other RAM owners experiencing the same or very similar issues. Some have had some quite dangerous encounters due to the panel malfunction. What I find strange is there have been other recalls on RAMs all the way up to 2019. I am concerned about why the newer models, with the exact same issues, has not been issued a recall.

defect poses severe safety hazards: 1. CHILD PASSENGER RISK: The water saturates the rear seat where two child safety seats are installed, compromising the structural environment and exposing young children to damp, unsafe seating. 2. MOLD HAZARD: Continuous saturation of foam seats and carpets has created an active mold/mildew biological hazard, posing an ongoing respiratory risk to my children. 3. ELECTRICAL STALLING RISK: Water runs down the cab wall, pooling over the Radio Frequency Hub (RF Hub). Water in this control module causes electrical shorts, leading to sudden engine stalling in traffic or complete vehicle lockout. They are leaving a family vehicle with an active hazard that causes property damage and threatens passenger safety. Stellantis has acknowledged this exact structural defect by extending the warranty to 8 years/150,000 miles for some vehicles under Warranty Bulletin U.S. D-23-17. However, by using a flawed and incomplete VIN population list, they are knowingly leaving my vehicle with a hazardous, active design defect that causes property damage and threatens passenger safety. I am seeking a full corporate remedy and a Goodwill Repair Authorization to permanently replace or structurally seal this defective assembly.

fire. Lucky to have gotten out safe. Total loss of vehicle. The ram rebel 2020 and specifically etorque and electrical all should be looked into and proper action be taken with ram/stellantis to its customers.

times, where the contact was informed that no failure was found and the failure could not be duplicated. Several messages and warning lights, including "Key Fob Not Detected", "Parking Brake Error", the ABS warning light, and the traction control warning light were illuminated during the failure. The dealer notified the manufacturer of the failure, and the technicians advised the dealer to replace the key fob; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was contacted and informed the contact that the vehicle was undergoing further diagnostic test. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000.

same thing occurs again, once again while traveling at highway speeds. Is towed into another dealer for service, and it is identified that the RF Module/Hub will need replaced due to a water leak. Repair is completed and vehicle returns to normal operation. 10/16/26 I attempt to start the vehicle with no success. After evaluating for a dead battery the vehicle is once again towed to a dealer (the same one that serviced it the first time). It is again identified that the RF Module/Hub will need replaced again due to a water leak around the back glass. I point out the Warranty Bulletin D-23-17 that would cover my vehicle and pertains to back glass water leaks. Am told by the dealer and Ram customer care that it does not in fact apply to my vehicle based on manufacturing date, despite it directly conflicting with the dates reflected on the notice. The TSB and the Warranty Bulletin appear to have conflicting dates for manufacture on them. This is incredibly deceptive behavior by Ram and should be looked into further. I have identified at least 8 previous complaints submitted to the NHTSA pertaining to the water leak/RF Module issue within the last 18 months along with acknowledgement from multiple service advisors at the dealerships that it is a known issue, yet no recall has been issued for it. Due to the potential and documented history of this leading to sudden power loss, it is merely a matter of time before this results in severe injury or loss of life.

leaking, risking exhaust gas intrusion into the cabin. The dealership, Earnhardt Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram at 1521 E Drivers Way, Gilbert, AZ 85297, has failed to resolve the water leaks over 4 separate visits this month." I was told a software update fixed the issue. Then at the last visit something electrical was replaced, the issue is still happening. The leaking rear cab air pressure vents have not been addressed in the previous 2 service appointments. This also allows water to leak onto the RF Hub

Other stalls occurred at lower speeds. I subsequently discovered significant recurring water intrusion into the rear cab. Water visibly drips from both upper corners of the rear-window area during rain and has saturated the rear seat and reached the floor under the rear seats up to the front passenger footwell. My children's car seats have been soaked. Moisture meter (pin based) readings confirm elevated moisture, visible mold has developed, and the interior has a strong odor. My VIN currently shows the manufacturer's XG1 extended warranty related to CHMSL water intrusion. I am concerned that water intrusion may have affected the RF hub, wiring, connectors, or other electrical systems and may be related to the engine stalls. The cause of the stalls has not yet been confirmed as I'm waiting on the appointment.

occasions. The vehicle was diagnosed with transaxle failure and steering column failures. The battery, transmission, and the radio were replaced on several occasions; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 95,959.
