NHTSA VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT Vehicle Information: - Year/Make/Model: 2024 RAM 1500 (V6 eTorque) - VIN: [XXX] - Current Mileage: ~70,000 miles - Warranty Expired: 60,000 miles - Purchased/Serviced at: Smithhaven Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, [XXX] Complaint Summary: I am reporting multiple recurring safety-related electrical, lighting, and drivability issues involving my 2024 RAM 1500. The vehicle has experienced repeated system failures affecting safe operation despite regular dealership maintenance, recall compliance, and scheduled service. Service and Failure History: At approximately 6,017 miles (January 12, 2024), the vehicle experienced a major electrical failure involving the wireless control module and battery system causing a no-start condition until serviced. On October 4, 2024, the vehicle received an ABS recall service and system update. On November 17, 2025, the vehicle received the 60,000-mile service including tire rotation, brake flush, coolant system service, and 27-point inspection. In 2025, a turn signal sticking issue was serviced but continues intermittently, creating a safety concern. At approximately 70,000 miles, the vehicle developed severe drivability issues including bucking, jerking, hesitation, and loss of power. Check engine light and service transmission warnings appear. Vehicle requires pulling over and restarting temporarily restores function. Safety Concerns: - Sudden loss of power - Unsafe low-speed operation - Roadside stops due to drivability failure - Turn signal malfunction risk - Prior electrical failure leaving vehicle inoperable Repair History and Response: Vehicle maintained at dealership. Stellantis case opened and partial (~80%) coverage offered but issue remains unresolved. Request: Investigation into potential safety-related defects involving electrical, drivetrain, and signaling systems. [XXX] DePinto Stellantis Case #: 96506923 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My 2024 Ram 1500 TRX has recurring safety-related failures of the infotainment system affecting both Uconnect 5 (12” screen) and earlier Uconnect 4 units. These issues are widespread in 2021–2024 Ram TRX and Ram 1500 models and began or worsened after forced over-the-air updates. The primary defect is black-screen failures while driving. When the screen goes black or freezes, the truck loses all functions controlled through the display, including HVAC/defrost, backup camera, vehicle settings, seat controls, and performance gauges. This creates an immediate safety hazard: I cannot adjust climate/defrost, cannot see the required rear-view camera when shifting to reverse, and cannot access key vehicle information. Owners across multiple years consistently report: • Black screens, freezes, and reboots • Loss of HVAC control and dual-zone functions • Backup camera not displaying • Vehicle/Apps tabs failing to open • Uconnect error messages • Smaller, harder-to-read gauges after updates • Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto failures • No option to decline or roll back OTA updates These failures distract the driver, remove access to federally required equipment (rear camera), and eliminate visibility and climate controls that directly affect safe operation. The system becomes unpredictable and unstable despite the vehicle being in motion. My vehicle experiences the same issues, including: Cameras not working, screen freezing or blacks out, navigation failing, carplay unstable won’t stay connected or randomly drops and more. Because this affects essential safety-related controls and visibility, I believe this is a safety defect in Ram/Stellantis Uconnect 4 and Uconnect 5 systems. I request NHTSA open a defect investigation and require Ram to correct these failures.
