2025 RAM 1500 Complaints

Transmission continues to shift poorly - will not shift to 8th at speeds over 55 MPH, drops from 8th to 7th continuously. Has been to the shop 2 May 2025 - flashed the transmission, 8 Sep 2025 flashed the transmission, 20 Jan 2026 updated transmission. Updates work for short periods of time. Truck only has 11769 miles

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.

For the sixth time, the vehicle has stopped in mid traffic. A couple of close incidents of almost getting hit in two lane traffic, at stop lights surrounded by traffic, on interstate. The incident today came after a supposed, "final fix" for the blind spot warning. It is not a warning, the vehicle completely hard brakes to a complete stop and shut down of all systems. We have to quickly respond, turn the button on quickly and hope it starts. I am now terrified to drive the vehicle. The original dealer told me to take to local dealer, they acted like I was crazy trying to describe these incidents, initially, but then 2 weeks ago, they had a service recall that stated exactly what I had experienced. It does not work. I am terrified to drive it and invested over 90,000 in a quality, American built truck to be dismissed, then believed and survived. I can't keep it, please help.

When turn signal is engaged (left, right, or hazard,) the normal turn signal sound randomly changes pitch and tone. This is an intermittent problem. Dealership has updated software which did not fix the problem. The signal lights work but the sound makes it seem as if there is a warning other than a normal turn signal sound. There are at least two social media posts about this exact issue on a 2025 and 2026 Ram 1500.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, while starting the vehicle, several warning lights illuminated after manually starting the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. While attempting to shift the vehicle into 4WD, the vehicle failed to respond and remained in 2WD. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

The auto stop/start "feature" does not work properly. When it malfunctions, the vehicle goes into Park and requires to be turned off and back on again. This happened to me coming out of my neighborhood at a yield sign. I stopped very briefly as it was a Yield sign. The engine shut off and it threw a MIL. I had to turn it off and back on. I took it to the dealer who said they did a flash upgrade and reset the MIL. Since then it has done it to my wife multiple times. One time was at an intersection and she panicked which caused more delay in getting the vehicle going again. It almost seems like a stall. When I disable the stop/start with the button on the dash it (obviously) does not have this problem. The auto stop/start needs to be eliminated from vehicles without fear of voiding warranties.

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

Remote starter on my 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn frequently fails to operated in cold weather (below ~30F). The truck will flash the lights and then abort the remote start without starting the engine. The vehicle starts normally using the push-button inside the truck. This issue is intermittent but recurring multiple times. No warning lights are displayed. Dealer is unable to reproduce the problem. This may be a software or electrical defect affecting safe or predictable operation in cold conditions.

Vehicle has experienced multiple incidents of sudden loss of propulsion, including at highway speeds. Engine revs when accelerator is applied but vehicle does not accelerate, as if in neutral. Multiple warning lights illuminate, including “Service Transmission.” I narrowly avoided a rear-end collision. Diagnostic codes recorded include U0402 (invalid data from transmission control module) and U1003 (CAN communication fault). Vehicle has required towing for one incident and multiple service visits with no permanent fix. This is a safety concern 11/3/25 Loss of propulsion at highways speeds 11/28/25 Loss of propulsion 1/10/26 loss of propulsion at highway speeds

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact had experienced several electrical failures since purchasing the vehicle brand new. The contact stated that there was a sudden loss of power steering functionality, and the Lane Keep Assist would engage and normally vibrated the steering wheel; however, the vehicle and steering wheel continued to vibrate after the vehicle was centered. Additionally, the vehicle lost the instrument cluster image and power window functionality. The master window lock switch on the driver's side console had never worked since purchasing the vehicle. The failures were intermittent. The contact stated that occasionally, several warning lights were illuminated during the failures. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was diagnosed, and determined that the TFT module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and was still being diagnosed. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and referred the contact back to the dealer for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.
