    What Owners Say

    Apple CarPlay

    "At times it wont connect"

    Anonymous, NC (2022 Ram 3500 Big Horn 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)
    Display screen freezes up

    "Screen has frozen and there was a screeching noise emitted through the sound system until it reboots. This has lasted for extended periods. I had the music up and had to pull over and step away from the vehicle as the screeching was way too loud."

    Anonymous A., TX (2022 Ram 3500 Big Horn 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)

    "Had problems off and on since purchasing"

    Anonymous, NC (2022 Ram 3500 Big Horn 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)
    Display screen goes blank

    "Screen will go blank for no apparent reason. Iy will return when it wants. Have had problems with software controlling other electronics. The driver position buttons quit for a few months then restarted. While it was out I bought an extended warranty."

    Anonymous A., TX (2022 Ram 3500 Big Horn 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)

    Body Hardware

    Windows, locks and latches, doors or sliding doors, tailgate, trunk or hatch, mirrors, seat controls (power or manual), seat belts, sunroof, convertible top, glass defect.

    What Owners Say

    Other body problem

    "About 6 months after I bought this truck the leather dashboard started to peel back as if it were shrinking. Its only a cosmetic issue but it looks horrible. The annoying thing is this is a common issue with the Laramie / limited trim levels and the manufacturer wont cover the replacement. I am waiting until they decide to stand by their product and replace it as a warranty issue."

    Anonymous A., GA (2022 Ram 3500 Laramie 6.7-L 6 Cyl diesel)

    "It's supposed to be a heavy duty truck, the body dent ease than a empty soda can"

    Anonymous, (2022 Ram 3500 Laramie 6.4-L V8)

    Transmission Minor

    Gear selector and linkage, transmission computer, transmission sensor or solenoid, clutch adjustment, rough shifting, slipping transmission, leaks.

    What Owners Say

    Rough shifting

    "Keep slipping gears or switch, with acceleration increase making the car difficult and unsafe to dive"

    Anonymous, (2022 Ram 3500 Laramie 6.4-L V8)

    Exhaust

    Muffler, pipes, catalytic converter, exhaust manifold, heat shields, leaks.

    What Owners Say

    Other exhaust system problem

    ""The diesel exhaust particulate filter in most new diesels were poorly designed and get clogged easily if you dont drive them at a constant speed such as on the highway for about an hour. City driving or short drives cause the system to automatically regenerate to clear the particulate. If this occurs too frequently, a check engine light will illuminate and will not go away until you drive it on the highway for a few hours. The issue is that the filter needs to get up to high temperatures in order to burn off these particles naturally and city/ short drives wont get the system up to temperature. If this persists the filter will eventually need to be replaced which costs several thousand dollars. This is extremely frustrating for me since the area I drive is 30 minutes or less and a mix of highway and city driving so the system never gets a chance to get up to temperature and naturally burn off the particulate. Hopefully in the future these systems are removed or at the very least redesigned so that the average person can own a diesel without this issue.""
