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.

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.

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....

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,...

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...

I am leasing a 2025 Ram 1500 Bighorn from Stellantis. In the less than a year I have owned this it has been to 2 dealerships over 5 times. I hired Handy Law Offices to file a lemon claim . Stellantis was supposed to respond by May 26 and here it is June 9 and they still refuse to acknowledge the problems. And to top it off, I found a positive wire with a split open covering and Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac Wisconsin refuses to fix it, even though they sold me the truck. In talking to other dealerships, this is a shorting hazard and possible fire, but they said Summit has to fix it. I want to know what legal avenues I have to get rid of this truck. I have learned that more and more of this year truck is also experiencing bad problems that Stellantis...

Engine shutdown at highway speed. Everything ceased to work.

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.

My 2025 Ram 1500 has a Parasitic drain on the battery, The truck has left me stranded several times. Dealer says there are no electrical problems reported on these Trucks, But Ram forms state otherwise!

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.

My wife and kids were locked inside the truck and couldn't get the doors to unlock. They tried both driver side and passenger side door lock buttons and even tried locking and unlocking the door again but it was still stuck for a while. It didn't matter if the engine was on or off. They were eventually able to get out.

Vehicle was being driven at highway speed at about 0555. There were no warning lights including no battery or low voltage warnings. Suddenly every warning light came on and all systems failed. Engine had stopped and computer had shifted vehicle into neutral. Power steering and power brakes had failed as well. At least one driver side rear tail light went out (I think forward headlights as well but not sure). The vehicle was still coasting at highway speed!!! Engine would not restart. I was extremely lucky to not be in an accident as the vehicle was suddenly essentially undrivable while traveling at a high rate of speed. I was lucky to be able to get it to side of road safely but in different traffic conditions this likely would have caused an accident as it was impossible to increase speed, and extremely difficult to steer or brake. The car is...

Vehicle arriving and parked in parking spot. Occupants tried to leave vehicle and doors would not unlock. Had to use keyfob whicle still inside of vehicle.

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.

150 amp fuse blew. Caused auxillary battery to die and the truck didnt start. Caused the check engine light to turn on and many features such as lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, remote start, and auto start/stop didn't work. The manufacturer and dealer states that it's not a warrantied item. Thr 150 amp fuse connects both batteries

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...

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.

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...

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.

Brand new 2025 ram 1500 is out of alignment at 800 miles. It pulls to the right. On highway, it almost turns itself to the other lane. Major disaster maker.

I purchased the truck on 10/19/25. Since that time, I have had to call roadside assistance three times and have had to leave it in the shop on two separate occasions totaling well over 30 days. The truck still doesn't have 5k miles. Interestingly, the service record and updates that was provided on the app has been wiped clean. Now, they are offering to pay me for the "inconvenience", but I'm not sure I'm OK with that suggestion. I've been a very loyal Ram owner, this is the fifth one in a row I've had. However, this truck really scares me due how unreliable it's been thus far. Luckily, the failures haven't put myself or others at risk, at least not yet.

On Thursday [XXX] I was driving my new 1500 Big horn ram truck. I only had it for 6 days at that point. I started noticing a noise coming from inside the dashboard and the check engine light came on. I kept driving as usual because i figured the light would go off. All of a sudden a big metal ring the size of my palm fell on my shoe and all the warning lights came on the dash ( the brake failure light, adaptive cruise control unavailable light, parking sensor failure light, check engine light, traction control malfunction light, brake system light, abs failure light). When i tried to brake, the brakes went all the way down and felt very spongy. I had to pump the brakes just so it would stop. So I pulled over into a parking spot turned off the truck and started it back up....

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.

On [XXX] I turned on a [XXX] in Amelia Co Va when I pressed the gas to get up to speed, all of the sudden the headlights, dashboard lights, interior lights go dark. Warning lights on the dashboard were flashing. I put on my hazards and pulled safely into a convenience store parking lot and shut my truck off. I waited a few minutes and turned it back on and everything came on along with the check engine light. I got back to Richmond safely and checked to see the code was for the check engine light which was a P0336. On [XXX] I went back to check the code and it was stored and the check engine light was off. On my way back home I was on [XXX] just north of Lexington VA and went to pass a slower car and the same thing happen. I was able...

Day 5 my check engine light came on. Code was showing multiple misfires in multiple cylinders. I cleared the code. Following week same thing happened again. By the weekend my battery was dead, when I got jumped, my dash said there was a problem with blind spot detection and the arrows on both side mirrors were stuck on. I manually shut them off and went on my way. Check engine light comes on showing low voltage. Dealership changes battery but says it’s odd to have the misfire codes but doesn’t address it. 3 days later check engine light is on again for multiple codes for misfirings. Take it to the dealer again where it’s been sitting for the last week and a half. I get told today Chrysler has no fix for it and is closing the case and I can pick it up. I’m sorry, what?? I’m supposed to...
