2025 Ram 1500 Engine Problems

Engine oil Exceeds level light came on out of nowhere. I got the oil changed over a month ago and never added more oil in truck. One day as I am driving the oil lamp light came on and the warning message came across the dash.

The contact's employer owns a 2025 Ram Promaster 1500. The employer received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V720000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the company vehicle should not have to be parked for months while the manufacturer developed the remedy. The manufacturer was not contacted. The employer had not experienced a failure.

When stopped for a short period of time like at a traffic light/ in a traffic back up driving 5-10 mph the truck will shut off and all electronic will shut off as well it takes 5-10 seconds to restart the truck wich is very unsafe in heavy traffic

While driving into town, the dashboard illuminated with every warning light before the vehicle suffered a total electronic and engine shutdown. This happened twice—the second time while I was mid-turn in an intersection. Several vehicles had to slam on their brakes to avoid a high-speed collision with my stalled truck. I had to get the vehicle towed as it is fundamentally unsafe to operate.

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.

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.

At 1400 miles the truck was running and I put the truck in reverse and the engine light came on and the truck died. The truck started back up but the engine light stayed on. The engine light was for random cylinder Miss fire p0300. And about once a week of so the engine light will come on for a day is so and go off. Since this has happened the fuel milage has been affected. Also sometimes when truck drops into passing gear it will have loss of power and lights and bell will start flashing on the dash. And says high coolant temp and high engine temp even while being full of coolant.

Multiple cylinder misfire, code has popped up multiple times. Already had fuel sensor replaced one month after purchase.

Engine shutdown at highway speed. Everything ceased to work.

Vehicle dies while at idle and shifts into park. Only 14000 miles. Dangerous in traffic.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 55 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact became aware that the RPM had exceeded 5,000 RPM, and the contact pulled over to the shoulder of the roadway and turned the vehicle off. The contact stated that after restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality. The drowsiness alert warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000.

Engine auto stop/start (ESS) fails to start causing unsafe conditions. Restarting procedure sometimes requires multiple attempts to get the vehicle moving again in traffic.

The engine light goes on and off every other week. I've had the truck in multiple times and I've been told a number of reasons why it's happening, but it's not fixed. Now I am not receiving any paperwork for supposed services done I was told the paperwork will be mailed to me. I'm uncertain if Duluth Dodge is unable or unwilling to solve the problem. At this point, I'm getting lip service, and not getting the issue fixed. I have been in at least 6 times with my new 2025 Dodge Ram.

When I first bought my truck, the engine had a surging problem at low idle when it was cold. Once it heated up, the problem went away, so I didn’t pay too much attention to it. Then at about 4,000 miles, my truck began running very erratically. Then soon after, my check engine light came on. I took it to a dealership for warranty repair. Their code scanner revealed several misfire codes along with other related codes. This issue seems to be very common for the 2025 RAM with the new twin turbo 6-cylinder engine as noted by many people in online vehicle groups for this truck that have same experience. RAM has acknowledged the issue but doesn’t have a fix in almost 6 months later. My truck has been in service at the dealership for over 40 days and I have made several calls to check the status. Each time they say they cannot resolve. They say they have been in contact with the manufacturers “tech line” and have followed all their recommendations, but nothing has worked and there are no other resolutions available. There is nothing they can do. Due to the misfire code and the check engine light is on, the truck cannot be used safely on the road due to erratic performance. Sometimes on the highway, maximum speed will drop to 40 mph. Misfire codes also present a problem with potential engine damage. Also, I am obviously worried about my state SAFETY inspection that is due in another 6 months that would certainly fail leaving me unable to legally operate the vehicle. Since this seems to be a mysterious issue that Stellantis/RAM is unable to understand, much less repair, I am worried about potential long-term issues with this truck. Stellantis will not publicly state how many occurrences there are for this situation, but if online groups are any indication, it is a large number.

Secondary water pump failure with coolant line leak causing engine to rapidly run out of coolant.

I've owned the 2025 Ram 1500 with the 3.6L 24VVT eTorque engine since [XXX]. Shortly after purchasing the truck the check engine light came on and after checking it with my OBD 2 scanner, a P0300 code Random/multiple cylinder misfire was detected. This problem has been going on for over 4 months with my truck and an internet search tells me others have been dealing with it since August of 2024. With the weather warming up, the engine is sputtering/hesitating on starting my truck and is dangerous to drive at times(pulling into traffic it hesitates) Stellantis knows about the problem and has done nothing to fix it! There should be a National Recall on this by now. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Started the vehicle at 280 miles and the check engine light started flashing and engine running rough, sounding rough and stalling out. After restart check engine light was solid and I drove to nearest dealership. I was told it's Multiple Cylinder Misfire codes and that it's a known issue with these engines/models, that it will continue to happen intermittently on cold starts and that that Ram is working on it and was sent home. There is no known cause and no solution. The selling dealership, the nearest servicing dealership and Ram Customer Care have no idea how to help and winter is coming so all of my vehicle starts will be cold. The vehicle is brand new and the engine has major malfunctions and is unsafe to drive reliably.

August 6, 2024 42 miles CHECK ENG light comes on August 11, 2024 299 miles CHECK ENG light comes on during start Truck shakes violently, RPM rapidly cycles from 400 – 800 RPM, all console lights flashing ON/OFF during start. Tried to back out of space, no response, then without further push on accelerator truck slowly rolled backwards. Tried to leave parking lot and pull into traffic lanes. Still violent shaking, flashing lights, and cycling RPM, suddenly RPM went to nearly 4500 RPM without any driver input and truck lurched forward generating a whiplash for the passengers and driver. Now in lane tried to get off of the roadway to nearest exit. Again, no response to slight pressure on accelerator, then without further input went through a rapid series of three times engine without further input increased RPM to nearly 4500 and truck lurched forward again with whiplash to occupants. RPM decreased to cycling at 400 - 800 RPM and truck accelerated to 30 to 35 MPH. We were able to exit the roadway and shutdown the engine. Waited 30 – 45 minutes and truck started and idled normally with CHECK ENG light on. August 24, 2024 669 miles CHECK ENG light comes on August 31, 2024 858 miles CHECK ENG light comes on

My check engine light came on after 200 miles of owning my vehicle, this started in July of 2024. Code scanner revealed it is several misfire codes. This issue seems to be very common for the 2025 ram with the new twin turbo V6 engine where many people in vehicle groups for this truck all know about it. Ram has acknowledged the issue but doesn’t have a fix almost 6 months later. I call the dealer monthly and they always say there is no fix. There is nothing they can do. Due to the misfire code and the check engine light is on I cannot use things like my remote vehicle starter or utilize my app that I paid for. Misfire codes also present a problem with the engine, they can cause engine damage along with a reduction in power. Since the issue started so early in owning the vehicle it is hard to tell if any power reduction issues are present. I am obviously worried about my state inspection that is due in another 6 months and if this a potential fail I am also worried about potential long term issues with no fix from Ram. This problem has been happening since the release of this resigned model which now around 7-8 months with no fix.
