2025 RAM 1500 Complaints

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that immediately after purchasing the vehicle, the vehicle experienced various electrical failures that included the vehicle not starting, and the message "Key Fob not in vehicle" was displayed. Additionally, the check engine warning light activated along with the message engine overheating. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the headlight flashed off and on, and the parking brake erroneously activated, causing the vehicle to shut off in traffic. The vehicle was taken on several occasions to be serviced; however, the failure recurred. No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 10.

Vehicle constantly pulls to the right. I thought it was an alignment issue so i took it to the dealer for an alignment, they adjusted one parameter then gave me the alignment report showing that it's all fine. When i complained it still pulls to the right they took it in for a second service. That service the "reprogrammed the steering module" which is different from the prior model year. This made zero difference and the car still pulls to the right. It is annoying below 60 MPH where it essentially nudges you to the right and dangerous above 70MPH. I am in Texas and we have a local toll road with an 80MPH speed limit so the speeds i described are an everyday travel situation here, not speeding or being reckless. If i drive holding the wheel straight with one hand for example on a perfectly straight piece of road and let go of the wheel for less than a second to reposition my hand the car veers to the right. If i let go for 2 seconds at 65mph it leaves the lane I was curious how long it would take my other car to leave the lane, i did that experiment on the same road. It took 10 seconds before it even got close to the line. Same stretch of road, similar weather. This is not weather related. This behavior occurs at all times, various temperatures. In total i have about 1100 miles on the new car. I think this car needs an urgent mandatory recall and a stop sale. This car should not have been sold to us in this condition this is unacceptable and unsafe. I found some threads online detailing this issue very similarly. Seems all the issues have different tolerances, but all about the same experience. [XXX] another thread. [XXX] Dealer says there is nothing else they can do until RAM issues a fix. Customer service at corporate was not helpful and told me there is nothing they can do. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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)

The electronic shifter knob was flashing lights and the vehicle did not start. Occurred two days in a row. Display stated “Service Shifter”

I purchased a brand new truck, and within a week it died while I was driving. Check engine light came on, follow by battery power saving mode light, automatic stop/stop service disabled, touch screen for radio became unresponsive. I quickly turned settings to look at battery voltage while I was trying to pull over off the road. Saw it drop from 11 volts down to 9 volts while I was driving. As I was turning into a parking lot to get somewhere safe the power to the truck turned off, and I lost power steering. Truck came to a stop in a parking but I was blocking traffic. Tow truck driver was able to jump the battery to get it onto a tow truck. I had the vehicle towed back to the dealer. They scanned the truck, and there were alot of codes thrown. They have been talking to Stellantis Engineers to figure out the problem. I was told by dealer that for certain it is a broken wire causing the batteries not to charge. That wasn't it. I am now being told it is the battery control module, and they have ordered parts. I have checked ram forums, and there are a lot of people reporting similar issues of brand new trucks dying within a few hundred miles of purchasing. replacing the batteries, and alternators. However, the truck dies again shortly after.

I was backing up in traffic and when I turned the truck to drive it would not shift into drive. The truck reved up like it was in neutral or park and wouldn’t move forward. I had to put the truck in reverse again and then back in drive a second time to get it to shift into drive. This incident almost caused a wreck, because the truck would not shift into drive and move. The traffic coming from behind had to stop to keep from hitting me because the truck wouldn’t shift into drive and move forward.

The windshield of my 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn was damaged by road debris and requires replacement. However, the manufacturer (FCA US LLC/Stellantis) has failed to supply the replacement windshield, rendering my vehicle undrivable for an extended period due to their inadequate parts supply chain. This delay creates a major safety risk because the vehicle cannot be driven legally or safely without a windshield. In emergency situations, the vehicle would be unusable, and I have incurred significant financial harm due to its inoperability. A new vehicle should not have months-long delays for critical safety components. The OEM supplier (Carlex) has confirmed that the windshield is in stock and available to ship, meaning the issue is due entirely to FCA's failure to place the order or manage their supply chain. This demonstrates negligence in FCA/Stellantis' parts supply chain, impacting customers who require essential repairs. This issue is not an isolated incident but rather a symptom of FCA's failure to ensure part availability for new vehicles. A consumer should not have to wait months to obtain a necessary safety component for a brand-new vehicle. I request that NHTSA investigate FCA/Stellantis' failure to supply essential replacement parts in a reasonable timeframe as this represents a potentially systemic issue affecting vehicle owners.

Vehicle is currently at the dealer along with all paperwork of service dates and repairs. My truck is a 2025 dodge ram 1500 4wd. Current mileage is 3,441. Dealer has been in possession of the vehicle since 02/19/25. This is the third time my vehicle has been to Bayshore dodge of Baytown TX. Issue with the vehicle is in the brake system. When you apply your foot to the brake pedal it makes a chirping noise. Dealer has replaced the brake booster assembly and has lubricated the brake pedal and the pads and noise is still present. I received a txt today from the service advisor and she stated there waiting on Chrysler dodge engineers to further them with instructions on what to do next. Also the loaner that was given to me with 400 miles on it same vehicle 2025 Ram 1500 has same issue with the same noise coming from the brakes. I did report this to the dealer.

My rear park sense turned off, there are trailer light and blind spot warnings happening every few seconds. Just to clarify the truck is not hooked up to anything , also there is a bell ringing every few seconds.

At only 1600 miles on the odometer, I took the car in for oil service and ABS recall. Dealer inspected, said I was OK. They then Flashed the EBS module with new firmware. 4 day's later (less then 6 miles since dealer visit and arriving home after a brief 45mph, 6mile trip, the check engine light came on. As I was 2 blocks from my house, proceeded home. Engine was in limp mode. Suddenly the warning chime sounded, all warning lights came on. Stopped, tried to change gear selector to "R", car would not change gear. Could not select any gear, forward, reverse, neutral or park. Warning messages would not stop. Chime occurred about every 2 seconds, messages from "no forward breaking", No ABS, call dealer, no side blind spot, do not shift transmission. Car was on a hill, and would not go into park. Unsure about break's, so had to chalk wheels using rocks. Could not shutdown engine. Tried to press "stop" button many times, including holding the stop button in for 5 seconds then for 30 seconds. Engine still would not shut down. Finally after several minutes, and many presses, engine finally stopped. Car would not restart, and could not be moved out of the street. Finally a tow truck arrived and he pulled the emergency manual neutral strap, located by removing a panel by the left drivers side knee. Dealer has had the car for over a week, no loaner or rental car, and are very bad at keeping me up to date and returning phone calls. Last I heard was "waiting on approval and ordering parts". As I said, this is a brand new (2025) truck, with only 1600 miles on it.
