Stalling on other 1500 years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2024, 2026.
What this problem usually is
Stalling reports are some of the most alarming on the site. The engine quits while the car is moving, sometimes on a highway and sometimes at a stop. Many owners say it restarted right away and the dealer found no stored code, which is part of why these complaints pile up before anything gets fixed.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the battery (69 reports), the fuel pump (10 reports), the throttle body (7 reports) and the alternator (6 reports).
Recalls and investigations

“While pulling onto a busy roadway the engine of my 2022 Ram 1500 with e-torque shut off and the emergency brake applied itself at about 10mph. This was accompanied by a check engine light and low battery voltage light. After the sudden stop I was almost rear ended by another truck on the road behind me. Seems to be a known issue with these trucks.”
