2025 RAM 1500 Problems

While driving the truck I was coming to the stoplight and slowing down in the vehicle completely died. All the instrument panel went completely black so I stopped restarted it and went approximately one and a quarter miles and it did it again while I was stopping. Both times the vehicle restarted fine and drove. The mileage was approximately 26,520. And it happened on 11-8-2026 at approximately 12:37 PM.

Twice within 3 weeks my truck has shifted to Park when starting to accelerate coming out of a stop, both times while at a stop sign. No indication or warnings.

The front sensor misfire a code. The fake code triggers all brake system lights. Causing a serious safety issue.

2025 Ram Limited. Front ParkSense camera (the camera that automatically activates when Front ParkSense detects an object) shuts off after the vehicle is turned off and left overnight. Every morning the system must be manually re-enabled in Uconnect settings before the front camera will activate again during parking maneuvers. This occurs consistently after the truck sits overnight. The issue does not stay enabled across ignition cycles when the vehicle is left parked for several hours. I took the vehicle to the dealer; they found no issue. I also contacted Ram customer service, who stated there is no known issue with this condition. No crash, injury, or property damage has occurred, but the daily loss of the front camera view reduces the effectiveness of the ParkSense system during low-speed parking and could contribute to a collision in tight spaces.

I purchased my 2025 RAM 1500 Rebel new on XXX. Since purchasing the vehicle, I have experienced repeated malfunctions of the digital instrument cluster (gauge cluster) located directly behind the steering wheel. The instrument cluster screen unexpectedly goes black, shuts off, restarts, and cycles power without warning, including while the vehicle is being driven. Additionally, when the instrument cluster malfunctions and cycles power, amber-colored warning lights located on both exterior mirrors, including the mirror surfaces and housings, flash simultaneously. I believe these are associated with the vehicle's blind-spot monitoring system. Both sides illuminate in conjunction with the instrument cluster malfunction, suggesting that the issue may involve more than the instrument cluster display alone. The vehicle has been taken to authorized RAM dealerships approximately six times in an effort to correct this recurring defect. Most repair attempts were performed at Midway Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in [XXX], with an additional visit to Anderson Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM in [XXX]. Despite these repeated repair attempts, the defect remains unresolved. Most recently, on XXX at approximately 10:04 PM, the instrument cluster again went black and cycled power while I was driving. This malfunction presents a serious safety concern because the instrument cluster provides essential driving information, including vehicle speed, warning indicators, and other vehicle operating information. When the display goes black, this information may become temporarily unavailable. The simultaneous flashing of the exterior mirror warning lights also raises concerns about possible interference with the vehicle's driver-assistance systems. The manufacturer has been formally notified of this recurring defect. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate these repeated electrical malfunctions as a potential vehicle safety defect.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake and trailer warning lights unexpectedly illuminated. The contact also stated that after the warning lights illuminated, a dinging sound was heard and the brake lights intermittently became inoperable. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V059000 (Exterior Lighting, Electrical System). The dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer informed the contact that remedy parts were limited and that only one part per week was issued to the dealer. The dealer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for further assistance. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,500.

I started having problems almost immediately. The screen would turn blue. The radio would come on in another language. Then came the body-panel issues, water intrusion, vibration, steering and suspension concerns, the truck going into four-wheel drive without me commanding it, noises during turns and acceleration, the steering wheel pulling, problems with the instrument cluster, Uconnect messages and repeated electronic issues. The body panels kept shifting. Eventually they began contacting each other and damaging themselves. The mileage intervals between required body panel re-alignments progressively collapsed over time—from 8,886 miles to 12,522 mi to 13,804 mi and then 14,030 mi. At one point it locked into four-wheel drive while we were driving and had to be towed. I sent information I had found while researching issues involving trucks manufactured during the same timeframe. They dismissed it and then torqued the frame bolts to OEM specification, but despite my requests, I was never provided documentation showing that the frame or structure had actually been measured first. After this most recent repair, I grounded the vehicle at the dealership and started putting the records together. I obtained concealed Inv's showing my vehicle identified as non-conformant 15 months earlier. I started comparing that documentation with what I had been told and what appeared on other repair records. I found pre-purchase documents, including multiple concealed pre-sale electrical repair records and Safety Recall 97B (NHTSA Campaign 24V-794) labeled on consumer facing documents as "brakes". I am recovering from cervical spine surgery and have experienced significant symptoms my doctors could not explain, yet my medical documentation repeatedly stated symptoms were worse while driving. whole-body vibration has been confirmed by my doctor as matching my unusual symptoms. And a manufacturer field technician who performed an unapproved software flash while the vehicle is grounded.

While operating my 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel in reverse to back out of a parking space, the brakes suddenly and completely failed. The brake pedal traveled entirely to the floorboards with zero normal resistance. The vehicle retained an estimated 3% or less of total braking power, barely and very slowly bringing the truck to a stop. Had this catastrophic mechanical failure occurred at highway speeds or exiting a freeway, it would have resulted in a high-speed, potentially fatal collision. Upon inspecting the driver-side footwell immediately following the incident, I discovered the brake pedal arm had physically disconnected from the booster rod mechanism, and a metal retaining C-clip had popped off. The vehicle was completely disabled and flatbed towed to a Ram dealership. Video evidence of the disconnected pedal assembly in the footwell is attached to this report.

September 14 ~10AM I was starting from a stop light wen the truck suddenly started surging and the tach showed over 4K RPM, all Gage lights were erratic, it would not accelerate, i lost power steering, and pulled the truck over and did a hard reboot (restart). While that recharged the system I had just exited a treacherous 8 mile very narrow stretch of road between Brookings and Grants Pass Oregon, that has very sharp and blind turns frequented by logging and delivery semi trucks traveling at 30-65 mile per hour depending on the section. If this had happened an hour earlier I'd be dead because there is NO WHERE to pull off. This truck now scares the life (literally) out of me. Took it to get recalls done 9-29-26 and personnel refused to answer any questions or offer help. While there a man with 22 ram diesel came complaining about exact same problems. We talked for over one hour. Now convinced this problem is larger than advertised. Interestingly i got a text asking how i like my Ram @ 10 AM the morning and time of the error. I now wonder about a hacking of the "shut down" codes by other actors. While I purchased a 7 year warranty, that will do me no good when I'm dead from this inferior truck and a corporation that is hiding and clearly refusing necessary repairs. These issues clearly demand a class action lawsuit and cash settlement to buy-back a quality product. 52K for junk truck. Telling how I REALLY FEEL!

My 2025 Ram 1500 equipped with the 3.0L High Output engine has experienced two separate incidents involving loss or severe reduction of electric power steering assist. The first incident occurred on August 23, 2026, while traveling at approximately 40 mph on a public roadway. The steering became extremely heavy, the odometer began flashing, and the check-engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to nearest Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram service department on August 24 and remained there until August 28. During that visit, the dealership determined that the main battery failed testing and replaced it. The auxiliary battery tested good. The dealership also completed RRT 25-143, RRT 25-237, and RRT 25-239, including several module inspections and software reprogramming procedures. The second incident occurred on August 29, 2026, less than approximately 36 hours after the vehicle was returned to me. At a speed of less than 10 mph, the check-engine light illuminated, the odometer began flashing, the engine shut off, and the vehicle again experienced loss/severe reduction of power steering assist. The vehicle was taken to the RAM dealership where it was purchased on August 31, 2026, for the recurring issue and is currently still at the dealership. At this time, I have not been provided a confirmed root cause or an estimated completion date. This is a significant safety concern because the loss of steering assist has now occurred twice within six days, including once at approximately 40 mph. The first repair did not resolve the condition, and the vehicle has spent the majority of that period in dealership service.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the defroster was activated, there was no air flowing to the side windows, causing the glass to become foggy. The failure occurred mostly during rainy days, cold or snowy weather, affecting visibility while driving. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 800.

The outside ambient temperature sensor on my 2025 Ram 1500 is fundamentally flawed by design, routinely reading 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the actual external temperature due to solar soaking inside the driver-side mirror housing. While this appears to be a convenience issue, it creates a direct driver safety hazard. Because this sensor feeds critical ambient data to the vehicle's computer modules, its extreme inaccuracy directly disrupts the automated climate control safety systems. During near-freezing or sudden inclement weather conditions, the vehicle's automated windshield defroster, cabin defogger, and heated side-view mirrors fail to automatically trigger or adjust correctly because the truck falsely believes it is much warmer outside than it actually is. This causes sudden, severe windshield fogging and ice buildup that reduces driver visibility. The manufacturer needs to issue a technical service bulletin, a software recalculation, or a physical sensor relocation kit to resolve this systemic safety defect.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V059000 (Exterior Lighting, Electrical System) and 26V495000 (Seat Belts); however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The dealer was called several times, and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was confirmed that the parts were on backorder. The contact had stopped using the functions or components that were under recall. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs.

While sitting at a red light, the truck will automatically shut off when I take my foot off the gas pedal. It has happened about 10 times over the last 6 months.

Hello! car in question was involved in a car accident 12/23/2025- with over $38,000 in repairs, damage frame and heavy front end damage the air bags DID NOT deploy. We are extremely concerned and honestly upset that the unit that is meant to protect didnt do its job. Although there was no injuries but the amount of force of the impact is concerning

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 just bought a new Ram Rebel X 2025 in September. I have 7K miles and the front tires are shot due to factory misalignment! Local dealership South Hills Dodge is ZERO HELP. I opened a case with RAM. They said…“You have to drop off your truck at the dealership before we can escalate your case to a case manager”. My truck has been sitting outside the dealership since I dropped it off on Monday 4-27 and hasn’t moved!! The dealership initially said they would cover an alignment under warranty free of charge but not cover 2 new tires which were caused by the misalignment. They then told me I would have to open a case with RAM in order to get the tires paid for. In the meantime, I asked the service manager if he could get me the current alignment readings. He then lied to me and told me they weren’t able to take the current alignment measurements due to the fact that the front tires were so badly worn. I then took it to my local mechanic to get the current alignment readings without fixing anything so I could have this sheet for my records. It not only shows the toe being out of spec on both front tires but shows the Caster being out of spec. Therefore it was set that way when I purchased the vehicle brand new back in September. I talked to my case manager who was never able to get ahold of the dealership!! I was also never able to get a response to multiple questions through their text service. Finally they reach out after my vehicle sat for 4 days and say I have to pay 19.95 for a tire rotation in order to do the alignment. I then chose to take my vehicle to Jim Shorkey and they fix some recalls and RRTs but “needed to talk w case mgr about tire coverage” So then I have it out with this case manager about the amount of time and money I’ve wasted so far and in a nutshell he tells me that the first dealer said tires were not covered under warranty so they can’t cover them! Basically I was sent in a circle of wasted time by RAM corporation “customer service”!!!

Tire monitoring system started with one tired then on to all tires one at a time came on. Then one at a time went off. Also the big display doesn't turn off when vehicle does. I have to turn truck back on and off again to get it to shut off. Just randomly shuts off going down the road. Passenger screen doesn't turn on most days. Also lights turn on by themselves in thr middle of thr night.

No warning lights were illuminated. Upon starting the vehicle, it was driven to another location but failed to restart. The vehicle made an abnormal trembling sound. The vehicle was jump-started. The brake pedal made a trembling sound. All the warning lights illuminated. The blind spot light was flashing. The instrument cluster was inoperable. While driving, the brakes had to be pumped for it to respond and stop. The contact called the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, where it was determined the vehicle was working as designed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and they opened a case. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000 during the initial failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

The contact owns a 2025 RAM 1500. The contact stated that the auto door lock feature was no longer available on the infotainment system screen display, which rendered the ability to lock the vehicle doors from the inside. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to lock automatically as designed while driving 15 MPH. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 224,000.

Fui a encender la camioneta luego de hechar gasolina y no quiso arrancar.Que inmóvil.Hoy a la fecha está aún en el concercionario.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the air pressure was set at 55 PSI and the air pressure levels caused the vehicle to bounce too high while driving over bumps or uneven roads. The contact lowered the pressure to 45 PSI, which caused the vehicle to run smoother however, the tire pressure light remained illuminated. The contact stated that while looking online, the contact became aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V231000 (Tires, Electrical System); and related the failure to the recall. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer confirmed that the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
