2012 Ram 1500 — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 10 evidence records for the 2012 Ram 1500, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (23,130 records, model years 2013–2026) are most frequently classified under: steering, engine and electrical system.
- Safety recalls (295 records, model years 2013–2026) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and driver-assistance systems.
- Transport Canada recalls (285 records, model years 2012–2026) are most frequently classified under: visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors), powertrain (transmission & drivetrain) and air bags (restraint system).
- Manufacturer communications (13,114 records, model years 2013–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
