2022 Ram 1500 Reliability Snapshot
By 2022, Ram had ironed out many of the issues seen in earlier fifth-generation models. The ride comfort, cabin quality, and powertrain options were class-leading—but no truck is immune from wear and tear. Here’s what owners and service bulletins have highlighted:
Known Issues and TSBs
- TSB 18-034-22: PCM update for rough idle and throttle hesitation in HEMI-powered models
- TSB 08-113-22: Infotainment system lag or rebooting in Uconnect 5-equipped trucks
- Rear window leaks, especially on models with power sliding glass
- Blend door actuator failures causing inconsistent climate control
- MDS (cylinder deactivation) issues leading to vibration at cruising speeds
- Electronic throttle body warnings in cold weather
- Occasional 4WD engagement faults, typically fixed with software updates
While major mechanical issues are rare, many of these problems fall outside the powertrain warranty. That’s where extended coverage makes a real difference.
Who Should Consider an Extended Plan?
If your 2022 Ram 1500 is approaching 36,000 or 60,000 miles—or if it’s loaded with tech and comfort features—now’s the time to consider long-term protection.
Extended coverage is ideal for:
- Big-mileage drivers or daily work truck use
- Owners of Limited, Longhorn, or Rebel trims
- Trucks with Uconnect, air suspension, or towing packages
- Drivers planning to keep their Ram well beyond the loan term
