I was notified of the Particulate Matter (PM) Sensor not being installed in the exhaust aftertreatment system of my vehicle on a post delivery survey I received. The dealership's service department has no idea about this sensor not being installed by the factory, and the response from the letter stated there would be a recall soon to have the PM sensor installed, but that has not happened over a year later. The ECU will need an update once the sensor is installed, which would allow the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) gauge to function. This poses a risk to unknown regeneration occurrences, which could lead to a fire if the vehicle is parked next to dry grass or other flammable material. It also poses a significant risk for exhaust system emissions component failure in the future. The sensors and software update need to be completed as soon as possible.

First issue (intermittent) the light control did not come on or operate the lights in the auto position to a high beam in limited visibility. The rotation knob for interior lighting would not work and the display was bright that affected seeing at night. No codes was generated and will be going to have the vehicle check out by dealership on Feb 8 2023. Second issue the truck demonstrated a short loss of power (a low grinding was heard) in two instances that resulted in low acceleration when turning across traffic lane.

Brand new Ram 2500 Diesel caught fire after about 1100 miles. Best I can tell it started around the alternator. Made a low -€œwhirring-€ or -€œhumming-€ noise during a few short drives just prior to the event that had not happened before. I was just parking when I noticed smoke coming from under the hood and opened it up to find a small fire involving the alternator and extinguished it with a fire extinguisher. The fire department came out and ensured it was extinguished and then a fire investigator came out and conducted an investigation. Took three days to get the dealership to accept the truck being towed back so it can be investigated by manufacturer.

I recently purchased a 2022 Ram 2500 equipped with the u-connect 5 system and the 12 inch display screen. The 12 inch screen controls all radio, navigation, phone and climate functions. After driving the truck for an extended period of time, the 12 inch screen will lock up and all functions are lost. I was told by the dealer to "reset" the display by pressing the volume and tuning buttons simultaneously, and after that to do a "hard reset" through the radio controls. This does correct the problem, but it will eventually lock up again. The dealer advised me they must be able to recreate the problem to diagnose it. They also advised due to the extended drive time for the problem to occur, they would probably not be able to recreate the situation. I have contacted Ram and u-connect about the issue, and they too advise the dealer must be able to recreate the problem to fix it. They also indicated they have never had anyone else complain about the screen locking up. When I google this issue I have found numerous articles online posted by people experiencing the same issue, so I know I am not alone. My reason for contacting NHTSA is the loss of the climate controls, specifically the windshield defroster, when the radio screen is locked up. Many times in my life I have found the need to very quickly activate the front windshield defroster to maintain visibility. I am concerned if the screen is locked up, and the defroster cannot be activated, a crash may occur.

After shifting into reverse the infotainment screen sets brightness to full which at night is blinding and causes eyesight visibility to be extremely low when looking at other views to back up like the mirrors or outside the window. This increases the risk of hitting something or someone when in reverse. Instead, the infotainment screen brightness should not change. Specifically during night time.
