Data synced from NHTSA on May 4, 2026
Coasting (last time I was doing 45 on a side road with my foot barely on the gas) and the truck gauges all reset to zero at once and the D button for Drive starts flashing. Try pressing the gas and you are neutral. Everything comes back on instantly but you are now in a flashing D mode (basically neutral) rolling in traffic. Loss of powertrain. It has happened 4 times now. Someone will die over this. Ram dealer now has my truck for the second time now. Updates did not fix it. Sounds like the same problem they are having with the Grand Cherokee as it is the same Hurricane motor.
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V059000 (Exterior Lighting, Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that messages that the exterior lights on the trailer were inoperable were displayed while the exterior lights were operable. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Driving on the highway with cruise control set, heard a beep and looked at my instrument cluster. Cluster went blank, cruise control turned off, lane management turned off. Then another beep turned on instrument panel and now was frozen at 0 as I was driving at highway speed. Next I was stopped at the off ramp and instrument panel said I was doing 57. I have videos of it happening. And it is in a constant frozen to reboot stage
When vehicle is in reverse, the rear camera is showing a blue screen on the navigation. Sometimes it flashes blue and other times it is solid blue. Dealer has already replaced navigation system and rear camera but it continues to happen intermittently. I have had the vehicle less than 4 months. Has been to the dealer 4 times
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated at start-up. The contact stated that the following day, the vehicle was taken to a dealer and was diagnosed with several cylinder misfires. An unknown repair was performed; however, the check engine warning light returned the following day. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, and the contact was informed that there was a misfire in cylinder#2. The contact was informed that the mechanic had replaced the spark plugs and ignition coil in cylinder#2 and cleaned the fuel injector; however, the check engine warning light remained. The contact was initially informed that further diagnostic tests needed to be performed and that a loaner vehicle could not be provided. Approximately 30 minutes after the loaner vehicle request was denied, the contact was informed that the vehicle had been repaired, and the vehicle was returned to the contact. The following day, upon starting the vehicle, there was gasoline pouring from the engine. The dealer was notified of the failure, and the contact was given a number to have the vehicle towed to the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer and remained with the dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,200.
The emergency brake malfunctioned transmission in park malfunctioned yes its available for inspection i was almost ran over by the truck or pinned between truck door and hand rail. I have not had vehicle inspection done yet dealer had been notified and awaiting there response. When i re entered the vehicle dash displayed warning emergency brake disengaged placed vehicle into drive to move forward and then dash displayed emergency brake engaged and placed vehicle into park automatically which made it nearly impossible to move. Prior to this event truck was parked in my driveway the night before then the following morning truck was in the grass it had rolled there. When connected to any trailer the dash displays check trailer connection and the running lights on passenger sides of the trailers are off and or going dim and bright.
My vehicle had issues from the first day. I purchased the car on the day of delivery. The vehicle had a check engine light since then the vehicle has been repaired six times at the dealership and still has issues.
Odometer is not working properly and not updating miles driven. At new start miles will be 446(example) will advance miles when driven. When vehicle is shut and restarted the odometer will revert back to original miles of 500. This started when truck was serviced on 09/03/2025 and milage was documented at 446. At every new start no matter how many miles driven the miles return to 446.
Purchased a 2025 RAM 1500 TUNGSTEN on [XXX]. Within a week of purchase, the blind spot monitors, forward collision monitors, and the emergency braking all quick working. The first attempt to fix was replacing wiring. This stopped it for a week before they were back on. Goes back into shop and replace and fully charge batteries and again it lasted about a week. Two more trips to shop (3rd and 4th visits) for same issues with more "quick fixes". Fifth attempt to fix took a couple weeks and had a module replaced. which lasted for about 3 weeks. After a trip to Florida in April it had to go in to shop again for the same issues. This time is spent 7 weeks in the shop, replaced multiple modules and other trial and error pieces before it was "fixed" again. Got vehicle back in June and it ran good until last week(end of August). Now every light on my dash is on. None of the safety features are working(airbags, emergency braking, front/rear monitors, traction control, 4x4 system, air ride suspension, etc...). Even the power steering has gone out this time. So now it is back in the shop for the 8th total time in 9 months of ownership. This will be the 4th or 5th star case thats been opened on it and I have completely lost faith in the vehicles ability to be fixed and even more so lost on the ability for RAM(Stellantis and Customer Care) to be able to fix it at all. This truck should be bought back or replaced with a comparable truck that actually works. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The automatic locking of the vehicle doors when the speed reaches approximately 15 mph will not occur. This is supposed to prevent inadvertent door opening while at speed. Local dealer has verified the conditions as other vehicles were also deficient.
Purchased vehicle [XXX]. Vehicle power steering quit working on [XXX], Dealership stated power steering control module rack is not working. Part ordered, back ordered, Part has a tracking date of October 24,2025. Dealership is Expressway Jeep 3900 Hwy.62 East Mt, Vernon, In 47620 phone number 1-812-831-3333. Service department said vehicle not safe too drive . I have been driving rental since September 2,2025. When the steering quit warning lights did function, on lane assist, park assist.

While driving all the brake system warning lights come on, even the anti-lock brake system light, and we get a warning stating emergency active braking system error message. The brake pedal goes all the way to the floor when we tried to pull off to the side of the road. This has happened multiple times now and at 1st the dealership couldn't replicate the problem. The it happened yet again and we got video evidence of the brake failure while driving. I did file a claim with Stellantis because the dealership can't get the brake system control module needed to hopefully correct this issue and they said they can get the part to the dealership on 10-5-25. At that point the dealership will have had the truck for 36 days.
My 2025 ram 1500 Tradesman pick up with only 600 miles would not start. I called roadside and had the vehicle towed to Wallace Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram dealership in Stuart Florida. Two days later, they called and said the issue was with possibly the starter or the E torque mechanism. Collin from Wallace service calls later to say the truck was ready. I didn’t drive very far for the truck to turn off and put itself in Park. The truck goes back to Wallace. Collin calls the next day to say the truck had a low hybrid battery voltage. At this point I don’t trust the safety of this vehicle.
Every time my wife sits in her passenger seat the SOS warning goes off like it’s trying to call for help, but the call doesn’t go through. Thankfully because there is never a problem, and now the airbag warning is saying it’s not working. Our dealership said the part needed was on back order and they couldn’t get it any faster unless we called customer support. Which is what I thought they were! It was then expedited. On top of all this we are traveling from clear across the country.
When turning my car on, I received warning lights for the ABS, Stability Track, and Traction Control systems. These stated they had all been deactivated. The Check Engine light also illuminated. I was in a safe, open lot location so I put my truck in drive to confirm this was not a dash/technical issue. The brakes were in fact almost completely deactivated. It took me over 100 feet to come to a stop. The brake pedal had slightly retracted also causing more issue in trying to reach the brake pedal. Once stopped, I checked the VIN and discovered this recall for the vehicle. The major complaint comes from the recall repair process with Ram/MOPAR. I took the truck to my nearest Ram dealership. Once in, they advised I needed two sensors replaced in the front wheel-well per the recall guidelines. The service department of the dealership further stated they could only order ONE sensor per month per dealership. Not per vehicle, per person, etc. They could as a dealership only order one sensor a month, meaning nobody else could come in for this recall repair while my FIRST sensor was being replaced. Now I am stuck waiting over a month for the second sensor to be ordered. They refused to give me a courtesy vehicle to drive for the time being so I am forced to drive my Ram with this recall issue with a major safety concern. I contacted Ram/MOPAR about this to find out if the dealership was correct in the part ordering statement and they could not give me a straight answer. Considering the brakes are about the most critical piece of safety equipment in a vehicle, I find this by Ram completely unacceptable and opening the door for potential bad things down the road.
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after entering the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact stated that the two batteries were completely drained. The contact was concerned about being stranded. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer to be diagnosed, and it was determined that the batteries were drained within an hour. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact there were three other vehicles being serviced for the same failure. The contact stated that the health report with Ram had not suggested a failure. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.
All major braking and safety systems have failed, including the parking brake, 4-wheel drive, cruise and adaptive cruise control, lane departure warnings, blind spot monitoring, and parking collision alerts. These failures occurred at the same time, and we believe there may be additional issues not yet identified. Our local dealership (Barry Sanders Supercenter, Stillwater, OK) attempted multiple repairs before opening a service ticket with RAM/Stellantis. We were informed the part needed to fix the problem is backordered for approximately one year. This extended delay means we must continue driving a vehicle without critical safety systems or park it indefinitely, creating both a financial and safety burden. The loss of these features greatly increases the risk of collisions, especially in bad weather or on highways where adaptive cruise, lane departure warnings, and blind spot detection are essential. Online searches show this is not an isolated issue but a recurring problem in 2025 RAM 1500 models, suggesting a broader manufacturing or design defect.
Front Airbags deployed without collision. Vehicle shut off and called police. Driver got severe laceration on face from driver airbag projectile. Vehicle was brought to RAM dealer and they recommended replacing all airbag components including ORC. The ORC did not have stored collision data. Attempted to open case with RAM/stellantis but they closed the case without investigating. THIS IS THE SECOND DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT A COLLISION.
I have owned this vehicle 10 months and for the third time now it is having the same reoccurring electrical issue. The first time the check engine light came on went to the dealer they hooked it up said just a battery drive it you will be fine. They turned the code error off. Left dealership drove to Home Depot and went to leave got in push the start button and the truck started making grinding noises and every error message for every safety device began cycling on the dash. After several minutes it all just stopped and the truck was dead no responses could not unlock or lock doors. Could not shift or do anything. It had to be towed to dealership. After two and a half weeks they said it was repaired some value was stuck open and drained battery and shorted everything out. They replaced valve and batteries. Within two months check engine light came on and vehicle was dead again. This time was able to jumpstart and took it back to dealership. Left it there they had it two weeks and said it was the battery. Claimed could have been faulty battery. Now here it is another two months and check engine light came on, truck wouldn’t start. Got a jump then every safety system error messages started cycling through again. Immediately had to disconnect both batteries to make it stop. Reconnected drive home to where it is dead as a paperweight. Called dealership and they say bring it in a week and half from now and they will get to it when they can. There is something majorly wrong with this truck. It is unreliable and not safe to drive. 100% lemon that I am stuck with due to negative equity that is growing as time passes. All the forums have people repeating same issues with their trucks as well. A coworker has same truck 1400 miles and his check engine light just came on as well. Please investigate and force them to provide a real solution for this year model truck.
2025 Dodge Ram 1500 with 741 miles began showing "Warning Light Illumination Unavailable Service Required". From what I have seen in numerous Ram forums this is a common occurrence. At this time I am told Ram does not have a solution for this. My concern is that no one at the dealership or Ram customer care can tell me what warning lights I may not be able to see when this warning appears. Vehicle us currently at the dealership where it has been for almost three weeks. I have been informed that the dash manufacturer has filed bankruptcy leaving consumers without a repair or replacement choice at this time. Again, Ram cannot tell me what lights I may not see (tire pressure warning, safety feature disablement, ABS, etc).
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK WILL JUST SHUT OFF ALMOIST CAUSING A REAR end collision. this has happened 3 times and the truck will not start some times needing the battery to be disconnected in order for the truck to crank back up.
The cabin pressurization system lets dirt flow through the cabin when the vehicle is on dirt roads. My previous vehicle did the same thing, same make and model just different year, 1500 2022 Big Horn. The dirt coming in is enough I have to roll the windows down to flush it out, but it still comes in. I haven't had it looked at on this one yet, but my dealer is very aware of the issue. I believe this to be a breathing health hazard and it needs to be addressed.
I am writing as a concerned RAM owner facing a severe safety risk due to the unresolved OEM trailer brake controller (TBC) issue. I bought my truck to tow a travel trailer, which I cannot safely do without resolving this. Background: • Purchased 2025 RAM 1500 LARAMIE CREW CAB 4X4 (VIN: [XXX] ) in March 2025. My previous 2022 RAM’s TBC is incompatible with 2025 due to CAN-bus/electrical changes—this was not disclosed at purchase. • On April 3rd 2025, Mopar support incorrectly told me to buy PN 82219232AA. I later found I needed 82219240AB, which I ordered. Delivery was repeatedly delayed, then canceled in May with no alternative offered. • Opened Case [XXX] with RAM Customer Care on June 10th 2025—no resolution since. • I confirmed my truck is pre-wired with harness 68601443AA and only needs module PN 68569520AB and dash switch PN 68618899AA. I sourced these and scheduled install at Serra Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM for July 28th 2025. Initially told they could do it, but upon arrival, they refused, claiming it must be done at the factory. This is incorrect. Mopar document 82219232AB [XXX] ) provides dealers official instructions to install/activate the TBC, especially when the truck already has the factory wiring. Safety risk: I used a CURT Bluetooth brake controller as a temporary fix. It frequently loses connection, making it unsafe during sway, high winds, or oscillations. If it fails mid-trip, I lose trailer-only braking. Request: 1.Immediate coordination to install/activate the OEM TBC (Sales Code XHC + proxy alignment). 2.If not feasible, replace the vehicle with one having a factory TBC at no cost to me.

The components that are malfunctioning is the windshield wipers (won't turn off), and the windshield wiper fluid won't work either, the turn signals (won't turn on), no high beams when this happens, my monitor will say something about no SOS calls, and something about the airbags not working. I've had to remove the fuse for the windshield wipers to stop them from scratching up my windshield when it's not raining, but I have no turn signals still so both not working is a huge safety risk to me and others. I took it to 3 different dealers, Council Bluffs, Iowa, they couldn't find anything and weren't interested unless I was buying a vehicle, then Denver, Co, they had it for like 3 or 4 days, they said because I disconnected the battery they couldn't find any codes, so that was a waste of time, but they did see I needed a transmission flush and oil change, so I ended up driving it back to the dealer I bought this POS from in Killeen, TX, they said it was the SCCM and that it needed to be replaced, so I waited like 4 or 5 days, when they said the vehicle was ready, i went to pick it up, I got like a mile away, and guess what the windshield wipers came on and I had no turn signals. This problem comes and goes, but it can happen at anytime while I'm driving. I bought this RAM in May of this year, this shouldn't be happening. All the dealer could say was sorry this is happening, that's not what any consumer want's to hear especially when it is a serious safety issue. These issues started at the end of July 2025 just over 2 months after I bought the vehicle, and are still currently happening.
Dash cluster blacks out. Have taken to two different dealerships and told can not replicate. Started at 1200 miles. Safety issues makes it hazardous to drive. Transmission fails to shift to 8th gear. Can be at 70 MPH and stays in 7th gear. Two dealerships not resolved. Last dealership followed service bulletin and updated transmission. Appears not to have worked
Constantly getting warnings that Auto emergecy braking, blind spot monitoring, and forward collision is disabled and needs service. It flashes on and off on the dash at inconsistent rates and appears to be bad wiring connections or faulty equipment. Been to dealer numerous times and still not fixed. I feel like these systems are going to fail me and could cause a potential safety concern.
While making a left turn, truck pulled hard to the right causing it to hit a parked truck. Upon exiting my truck seen that entire passenger front wheel was off. No warning whatsoever that there was a problem before this happened. Wreck occured out of state but truck is being transported to my dealer. it will be available for inspection.
When the A/C is turned on, air still comes out of the defrost vents, which causes the inside of the windshield to fog up instead of clearing it. This makes it very difficult to see while driving, especially in the morning or when humidity is high. This seems to be a malfunction with the HVAC system. It does not switch airflow correctly between vents, and the cabin fills with moisture instead of being dehumidified. The issue has been happening since I purchased the vehicle brand new. I reported it to the dealer, but they won’t fix it under warranty. This is a serious safety hazard that affects visibility and driving safety. They said it's just normal for it to happen. In 25 years of driving living here my whole life on the coast for 35 years. Nvere had windows frost. The dealership says nothing wrong. Need help.
UConnect "requires service" message since 2nd month of ownership. When this error activates, the Emergency call function becomes unoperational. Also, at times, the error popup comes up when I am backing up into a busy street. This is a critical safety issue!! Multiple trips to the dealer since last year. The issue is not fixed. Lane Keep Assist issue: The sequence: When changing parameters In UConnect 1- Select Vehicle tab 2- Select Safety & driving assistance 3- Select Active lane management 4- Attempts to change any parameters result in (Setting failed, setting not saved please try again All of these issues are a major safty concern for me and my family.
Vehicle has been taken to the dealership for AEB and blind spot monitoring. The vehicle has spent 15 days in the shop, only for nothing to have changed. Vehicle was driven by dealership an excessive 171 miles, only to be returned to us and within 10 minutes of driving, the AEB warning reappears. This vehicle has driven less than 5000mi. It should not have such electrical issues impacting enhanced safety features. The truck is going back to the dealership for yet another attempt to repair, unlikely to be successful. A quick online search leads to numerous individuals experiencing the same issue with their Ram truck with seemingly no resolution in site outside of replacing the CADM module. It's absurd that this hasn't been issued as a formal recall.
The digital instrument cluster failed. All telemetry is shown on this cluster including speed, fuel level, rpm, odometer and more. The cluster was going totally black every two minutes and it would disable cruise, lane departure warning, blind spot warning and the check engine light was on. There was no indication prior that there was a problem, it just all of a sudden went black and beeped. Then it would come back after 5 seconds and do it again two minutes later. Also my odometer wasn't working or updating the miles. The dealer confirmed the cluster needed to be replaced. It sat at the dealer for 96 days before the repair was made.
The instrument cluster panel went blank for over 40 miles, despite us stopping, shutting off and restarting, etc. We had no idea what speed we were going or any of the metrics monitored by the instrument cluster like turn signals, fuel level, engine temperature, etc. No cruise control. We took it to an auto parts store that captured the error code U0155. The RAM app on my Iphone also sent a warning that the blind spot monitoring failed. I will be bringing it to Champion Chrysler Dodge Ram in Lansing, MI, on 7/7/2025 and do not intend to take it back until this problem is resolved. While the instrument cluster panel went back to normal since then, how can I be assured it will not fault again and what safety protocols can I rely upon?
This vehicle is equipped with trailer tow mirrors and the forward visibility to the left and right while at a stop sign is severely impaired. I have driven dodge trucks with trailer tow mirrors for the last 30 years or more and have never had this problem. I have pulled out numerous time only to find out that there is a car coming, particularly from the right. These mirrors are way too big.
My speedometer is off by 9mph while traveling 70mph. When I purchased my vehicle new from the dealer, they had already installed bigger tires. I noticed that my speedometer showed 70mph and my gps showed 79mph. I took it to the dealer and they showed me where they had programed the new tire size in the computer but it did not adjust my speedometer. The service manager said its withing normal limits. I have been pulled over twice for "speeding" when my speedometer said 58mph and the cop said he clocked me at 65mph. I feel like this could be a saftey issue for potentially speeding in unsafe zones such as construction or school zones without knowing it.
Vehicle: 2025 Ram 1500 RHO (base trim) VIN: [XXX] Build Date: [XXX] Purchase Date: [XXX] Mileage at first occurrence: ≈ 40 miles (issue began immediately after delivery) Mileage now: [insert current mileage] Problem Description The instrument cluster (IPC) repeatedly reboots while driving or upon each key cycle. Every restart forces the odometer to reset and display 40 miles, erasing the accurate accumulated mileage. Simultaneously, the vehicle fails to retain any infotainment or vehicle-settings data (radio presets, climate preferences, drive modes, seat/mirror memory). This occurs 100 % of the time with every ignition cycle and has happened on every drive since purchase. Safety Concern A rebooting cluster distracts the driver, removes access to critical information (speedometer, warning lights), and falsifies odometer readings—potentially masking future maintenance intervals and impairing resale/title accuracy. The loss of settings can also disable previously selected safety aids (e.g., adaptive cruise presets, lane-keep parameters) without the driver’s knowledge. Attempts to Resolve Hard battery reset performed (negative-terminal disconnect, 30 min). Issue returned on first restart. Awaiting dealer appointment; preliminary research indicates similar complaints among early-production 2025 RHO vehicles and a possible IPC/BCM firmware defect. No official recall or TSB acknowledged for my VIN to date. Frequency Every ignition cycle; cluster reboot typically occurs within 30 seconds of start-up or during the first two minutes of driving. Infotainment/vehicle settings never save between cycles. Events & Dates [XXX]: Vehicle delivered; first reboot observed while exiting dealership lot. 06/29/2025–present: Issue persists on every drive. Requested Action Investigation into potential defective IPC/BCM firmware or hardware causing repeated reboots and odometer data loss on 2025 Ram 1500 RHO models built in April 2025.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while stopped at a crossing, the tow mirrors created a safety hazard. The contact stated that the tow mirrors severely reduced visibility of the road, especially on the front passenger's side. The contact stated that the tow mirrors were significantly large in size, which created a large blind spot for oncoming traffic. The contact stated that the height of the tow mirrors, along with the A-pillars, was blocking the visibility of traffic, particularly while making a left turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while hitched to a trailer, the exterior lights became inoperable. The message to check connection was displayed. The trailer light disconnected message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the vehicle was operating as designed. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
Vehicle has been to the dealer numerous times they’ve changed the batteries. The truck will not start after it sits for 24 hours. The batteries are dead. Chrysler will not do anything about it. The dealership doesn’t know how to fix it. It’s been at the dealership on and off for almost 3 months now getting no answers or satisfaction. Truck is brand new.
ram 1500 RHO year model 2500 blind spot sensors in mirror stay on sometimes for no reason as well as a service adas message, and clean blind spot sensors. this makes the self driving feature not work on many new ram rho's.
While driving my 2025 Ram RHO on the freeway I experienced a sudden steering malfunction resulting in loss of normal steering assist and abnormal steering response. The steering became stiff and difficult to turn and maintain control. This occurred without warning. The failure creates a serious safety risk. Particularly at highway speeds, as it requires excessive force to steer and could result in loss of vehicle contol,collission,rollover. the vehicle has been at the dealership now for 40+ days awaiting repair. the dealer diagnosed the issue as a steering system failure but required parts are on national back order with NO estimated delivery date The vehicle is currently undrivable and unsafe to operate. The defect presents a clear safety hazard because: sudden steering failure loss of steering assist failure has occurred at thighway speeds driver may be unable to safely maneuver vehicle or avoid obstacle
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that immediately after purchasing the vehicle, the contact experienced issues with the brakes. The contact stated that while driving at 80 MPH, several messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The ABS warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed but traveled down to the floorboard, and the vehicle failed to respond immediately. The vehicle eventually came to a rolling stop. The contact was able to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while reversing out of the driveway, several messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The contact stated that the brakes failed while at the dealer while an employee was test driving the vehicle. However, no cause for the failure was found. The dealer replaced the auxiliary battery, and the park assist module was reprogrammed. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the blind spot sensor had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,504.
I purchased this new vehicle on the morning of Saturday, June 14, 2025. At the time of purchase the vehicle had just 25 miles on it. The drive home from the dealership was about 87 miles. A few miles from home, the truck began to shake violently when the gas pedal was pressed. The engine or transmission light was on. The faster the truck went, the harder it would shake. The shaking stopped when there was no pressure on the gas pedal. The shaking was so severe that it was very difficult to drive over 30 mph. I called my salesman and he recommended that I try to “reset” the vehicle by stepping away from the vehicle so it cannot link with the FAB for 10-15 minutes. I did so and came back. The truck started fine but it was shaking while idling. There was no difference driving the truck after the “reset”. It would still shake severely when the gas pedal was pressed. We also discovered that the ring around the Start/Stop button was loose. A tow truck to picked up this vehicle on the same day it was purchased and towed it back to the dealership. The dealer had the truck from Saturday, June14, 2025 and they returned it on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, stating there was a "circuit pin" that was broken. The very next day on Thursday, June 19, 2025, the check engine light came on. Pressing the brake pedal made an odd sound, like bubbles or a gargling noise, even while idling. This noise was not there before. While driving the vehicle, the shaking was very mild but the truck shifted hard. Once, when I was accelerating, there was a loud “pop” that occurred in the truck. Immediately, the dash displayed “See User Manual for Proper Oil and Fuel” and it never went off. After the pop, the truck had a very hard time increasing speed. When I drove off from a stop sign or after I was stopped at a traffic light, the engine would rev high, 3000 – 5000 RPM, and the truck would not move for a few seconds. Then it would very slowly increase speed.
I was parked and attempted to leave and put my truck on drive. The shifter known would not go into drive mode. I kept getting an error code to “Service Shifter” after multiple attempts the truck went inky drive mode and I drove home with the error code to “Service Shifter”. When I arrived home to back into my drive way, the truck would not go into reverse. I sat in the middle of the street for an hour before the shifter released into reverse with the same error code. I drove the truck to the dealership where it was purchased and was advised not to drive the truck due to the danger of the shifter and the truck could possibly stay on drive/reverse mode when driving. My truck had been at the dealership for 15 days and I have been told that the shifter has been replaced 3 times, and the electrical relay is not responding. I am told that the Ram specialists are trying to determine what the problem is and have been contacted and can connect to my trucks electrical system. I was told that a Transmission Control Module is being ordered for replacement. The Service Dept Manager stated that this is a new problem with the 2025 Dodge Ram and ALL the Ram Specialists are baffled.
My [XXX] [XXX] son was sitting in the middle back seat after a soccer game. We were in drive thru for dinner and he leaned over and the seat belt with anchor and clip was still attached to the rest of seat belt. The clip and anchor part literally separated from the truck, as in unbolted or something (see attached pictures). This is frustrating because my son’s life was in danger and for how long has this belt been like this? How many other peoples’ lives have been in danger? This brand new truck has had its fare share of problems and broken equipment. We have owned about 7 or 8 Ram trucks. I will never buy another Ram again.

Automatic door locks fail to lock over 15mph as all other models of Ram trucks. This is a safety issue especially when traveling with minor passengers in the rear as well as front seats. Rear seat passengers unbuckled can open door and fall out and injuries can occur.

Digital cluster freezes, beeps, goes blank except for check engine lights, and then resets. Turns back on for a few seconds and then repeats the process. Digital cluster will do this non stop. I only have a few brief seconds to see my speed and fuel level before it freezes and goes blank. This is extremely dangerous.
I had a low tire on my truck yesterday. My dash TPMS information screen popped up. While I turned my truck around I noticed the display said to "Inflate the tire to 50PSI". I checked on-line and found a recall for this notice, but my truck was not part of the recall. I called FCA and was told my truck is not part of the recall. I went to my dealer and showed them, and was told my truck is not part of this recall, and they can't do anything until it is. I asked how do I get on the recall list? Both the 800 number I called and the dealership said we don't know. I hope this gets me on the recall list for FCA Recall ID 30 Campaign Number 25V-231 Thanks
