The DPF system failed prematurely at 68k. My truck as working fine with zero problems until I took it in for the Y43 safety recall July 2025. the dealership performed the software update without verifying if parts were in stock first. They took the part (dpf module) off a used truck from the lot and installed it on mine without asking me first. They told me they would call me when the parts became available. They never called so I took it in for a battery issue were the batteries were overheating and dying. I asked...

The contact owns a 2022 Ram 2500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V720000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

The vehicle has experienced repeated failures related to the diesel emissions system despite multiple repair attempts. The primary symptom is an illuminated check engine light accompanied by diagnostic trouble code P2459 (Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Frequency). The vehicle frequently enters regeneration cycles and continues to exhibit the same symptoms after major emissions system repairs. The emissions system components, including the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and related DEF system components,...

My truck was started in the morning and as it sat idle in the driveway I started attaching my trailer. By the time I got the trailer attached(20 seconds) there was smoke pouring out from under the hood. I immediately turned off the truck popped the hood and it was engulfed in flames. I was able to put out the fire with the garden hose. No check engine lights, no warning lights on dash, and I had just got it back from the dealership 2 days earlier and it passed a safety inspection before I picked it up. Im not sure what component failed but whatever did caused a fire

I am reporting a recurring safety defect involving hydraulic lifter failure in Ram trucks equipped with the Cummins diesel engine (model years 2019-2024). This issue is widely acknowledged by Stellantis and multiple dealers. It typically begins with a knocking sound and has been documented in many cases to progress to complete engine failure. My vehicle has fewer than 20,000 miles. The lifters were already replaced once, which required the cab to be removed. Within less than 400 miles of that repair, the knocking...

We are the subrogees of State Farm mutual Insurance. We are reporting that on 7/31/24 the insured vehicle a 2022 Ram 2500 caught fire due to electrical issue while being driving on the highway in Baltimore, maryland INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

DPF regeneration frequency. Truck began exhaust regeneration at frequent intervals. Truck produced check engine light for "regen frequency P2459". Problem verified by dealer. Cause of the issue is unknown.

Truck has had lifters replaced due to tick, sluggish performance and engine vibration. Truck was driven less then 500 miles and problem re-occurred. With research I have learned this is a widespread problem, and ram techs have reported complained there is no fix, and they are just reinstalling parts that will fail again. I feel the engine has had metal ran through it which in my opinion could cause this engine to seize up at. T tow a larch travel trailer with my family an and small pets in this vehicle.i live in...

Engine had a tick, dealer said it was lifters. Dealer replaced lifters after having the truck for three weeks. Noise is back 2022 ram 6.7 with 17000 miles. This issue could cause engine failure at any speed and I use this truck to pull a large travel trailer. I'm concerned the noise is back and putting metal shavings into the engine will cause catastrophic engine failure at some point.

Hydraulic roller lifter failure. Very common these pickups . Mine went in for a ticking noise hydraulic roller lifter failed got stuck in the bore. They replaced all 16 they test drove it stuck exhaust lifter #2 they replaced that lifter and the camshaft. Engine still has a very loud clatter and ticking noise. Did not do this when it was brand new

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor on my 2022 Ram 2500 failed, causing multiple system malfunctions. It triggered inaccurate Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) codes and showed abnormally high idle hours that do not reflect actual vehicle use. This defect is tied to a known issue identified by Stellantis in Technical Service Bulletin #18-002-24, which acknowledges improper MAF sensor calibration or compatibility on vehicles like mine. The bulletin was verbally confirmed by the dealership as applying to my truck. This...

5th gen ram with the 6.7 Cummins diesel have a massive problem with lifters. Extremely common for trucks with under 10k miles needing the extensive repair done. I've read in some cases people whole motors breakdown due to this failure while on the highway pulling a load. My specific truck had to have all the lifters replaced at 76k miles. There needs to be a manufacture recall on these.

Stater seized

Recall said completed it's not and code is still coming up on reader. So many problems with it. How to find out to get the services I'm paying for.

Grid heater nut/bolt has been reported to deteriorate enough to allow the nut to drop into the intake manifold and get sucked into the engine causing catastrophic engine failure. This information comes from shops that have replaced the engines that have had this failure occur

Truck would not start or crank over. It had to be towed to a repair shop and the starter had to be replaced.

The grid heater bolt can fail and fall into cylinder number 6 and cause catastrophic failure causing an accident. The 68RFE transmission is prone to failure and should be repaired/replaced. The hydraulic liters are subject to failure and should be replaced with solid lifters.

The transmission down shifts by itself while driving down the road . You have to stop an change the gears to park then start again.I has happened 3 or 4 times .most of the time when you stop at a light or stop sign and take off when it drops to a lower gear it makes a sudden jerk. Some times tyhe transmission slams in to gear rather hard, I am going to be out of warranty if some one does not fix this problem.It has 12,276.7 miles on it as of right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don,t drive it much but it is going to blow the engine up or the tramission.

This is a safety recall ISSUE, I continue to have a problem with this dealer (Hunter Dodge in Lancaster ca) on resolving 3 safety recalls on my 2022 Ram 2500 I have been on the dealers waiting list for 8 months now.

Service def see dealer and max 5mph in 150 miles. Traveling on I-40 from East Tn heading home. 225 miles to go. On a Friday afternoon. Called dealers in area none could look at it until Monday. Stressing about possibility of going into derate at 5mph on interstate and getting rear ended. Had to rent a car and take to a dealer 160 miles from home. Spoiled my vacation because of a false warning about def level. All that was wrong was the code needed to be cleared.

This recall has NOT been fixed by the dealer since I had it there December 20, 2021 with the original recall Y76. I've received two more recalls for the Intake Air Grid Heater Relay 13A, have taken it in for service 2x now for it and am told still that parts are on back order. I've been told this since December 2021.

Two fire related safety recalls ZA3 (10/22/2022) and 13A (2/9/2023) have yet to be resolved due to a lack of parts from the manufacturer with no date available as to the availability of required parts.
