On 4/28/25 our 2024 Dodge Ram 2500 truck caught fire, It had 25,880 miles on it. we bought it brand new in 9/24. Flames were coming from the engine. The fire had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher. The truck was towed to the local Dodge dealership. Miracle Chrysler After they looked at the truck we were told that fired was caused by a faulty heater grid. The truck has been sitting at the Dodge dealership since 4/28/25 to current. Originally we were told Stellantis would buy it back then they changed their minds and said no we will repair it. As of today they still have not started the repairs. I have invoice dated 1/8/26 that sates it will cost $55,277.23 just in parts to repair the damage that does not include the labor fees and they are not sure that is all the parts they will actually...
The contact owns a 2024 Ram Promaster 2500. The contact stated that on several occasions, while parked or while driving at various speeds, the air bag and Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights intermittently illuminated. The contact stated that the message "SOS -Unavailable - Please Contact Dealer for Service" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on several occasions for approximately a year, where it was diagnosed that the power steering gearbox and the radio needed to be repaired. Additionally, the wiring was taken apart and cleaned, and reattached after finding a wiring issue. The vehicle was repaired each time, but the failure reoccurred after each repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 45.
While driving my Ram 2500 completely shut off just like I had hit the engine stop button. Luckily, I was traveling at a low speed at the time, so I was able to coast to a complete stop, put the truck in park on the side of the road. I was then able to restart the vehicle and resume driving without any more issues.
Front parking sensors always being disabled due to something. Keeps saying wipe sensors. Comes no matter what speeds am driving and causes other codes and fault in truck.
I purchased a new 2024 Ram 2500 Laramie in January 2024. In February 2025, the vehicle began experiencing intermittent no-start conditions related to an electrical issue. Over several months, it also developed persistent Uconnect system malfunctions and power-folding side mirrors that would not unfold, creating a serious safety hazard. On July 2, 2025, while driving at highway speed, the driver’s side mirror folded inward on its own and remained loose, flopping in the wind, making it impossible to maintain visibility and lane awareness. Ram’s service department confirmed the part is defective but did not have it in stock when I brought the vehicle in. These issues have made the truck unsafe to drive. Despite multiple repair attempts and the vehicle being out of service for over 30 days cumulatively, the electrical and visibility-related problems remain unresolved. The manufacturer (Stellantis/Ram) has been slow to respond and has not provided a timely...
Totally electrical failure leave individuals stranded, vehicle will not start both batteries dead, the vehicle was inspected and batteries replaced at dealership, no warning lights no signs vehicle just will not start and will randomly leave you stranded
Hit a bump at approx. 55mph going into a curve while pulling a loaded car trailer. The unstable 4-link rear suspension combined with the air bag suspension system created/allowed/exacerbated trailer sway that caused the trailer to ultimately jack knife into a fence off the highway. This endangered myself and two oncoming cars in the curve. Driver skill and shear dumb luck prevented death to any/all on the road. Poor/unstable rear suspension engineering caused the accident. The air bags did not deploy and I do not recall the seatbelt locking up. Stellantis subcontracted Bosch Automotive Service Solutions (CASE # 91832257) to examine the truck. The inspector could find nothing out of "spec" or alignment, but was able to reproduce and experience like symptoms (and was visibly unsettled) during his test drive. Stellantis, not two days after receiving the Bosch report, denied all responsibility
back up camera went black while backing up.This caused me to hit a vehicle.Will be taking to dealer for inspection.No warning. The wipers quite while going down road in rain storrm.I had todrive to a wide spot to get off road and wait for the rain to stop.
Took my vehicle to dealer I purchase from for the SCCM recall according to the service advisor she said they flashed the truck and that it was going to need the SCCM replaced based on their findings that they were going to order the part weeks went by with no calls from dealer on parts I made another appointment with dealer and they told me there were no parts available I contacted FCA recall assistance all they could tell me is for me to keep trying other dealers i asked if parts were available and they could not give me a answer today 2/2/24 I got a call from FCA and they verified that at the moment there is no parts to fix my truck that it was safe to drive until parts are available just confuse on this recall on letter it tells for me to get this fixed...
