The 2025 and 2026 dually 3500 Ram trucks with the 12" AAM rear axle are having issues with the rear wheel speed sensors (different sensor for each side). They apparently fail or are not able to properly communicate to the computer. When this happens, the following are disabled: -ABS -Auto Emergency Braking -4x4 -Electronic Stability Control -Cruise Sometimes, the engine won't shut off. The gauge cluster will state it can't detect which position the transmission is in. So, you cannot shift, and you can't shut the truck off, and you can't drive. You are stuck in place with a running engine. Despite Stellantis releasing a new revision of wheel speed sensors (AB revision), they have failed in less than 2,000 miles on my truck. Many, many dually owners are experiencing these failures. I've had this problem occur over half a dozen times. It has been to the dealership to be...

While driving down the street between 0 and 35 mph, with no load in the truck and no trailer attached, the trailer brake controller quite working completely and a service message appeared. The dealership ended up replacing the trailer brake gain adjustment switch. Had I been towing a trailer at the time, I would have had zero trailer brakes. I've had this message reappear several times since then. I've attached a picture showing both the message on the gauge cluster as well as a scan of the trouble codes at that time.

On January 14, 2026, while starting my 2025 RAM 3500 with approximately 4,000 miles on the vehicle, the digital instrument cluster completely failed to function. After the engine started and the vehicle was running, the dashboard continued to display “Press Brake and Press Button to Start,” as if the vehicle had not started. All gauges and indicators were inoperative, including the speedometer, tachometer, warning lights, and vehicle information displays. Although the vehicle could be driven and exterior turn signals were functioning, there was no indication on the instrument cluster. No speed, engine RPM, or warning alerts were visible to the driver. After driving the vehicle home and allowing it to sit for a period of time, the vehicle was restarted and the instrument cluster returned to normal operation, indicating an intermittent failure. Based on known issues reported with digital instrument cluster failures, this appears to be a potential electrical and/or...

On 12/15/2015 my 2025 RAM 3500 at 30180 miles had a Trailer communication problem with Running lights on trailer not working. It was sent to RAM dealership in Albany, OR. They diagnosed that the Integrated Trailer control module was at fault. It was replaced and passed working operation, On 12/30/25 Ram was connected to Trailer. The Trailer seemed to be fully operational and about 5 miles down the road the Running lights stoped working again. I had trailed tested and no electrical issues were found. Had 7 way trailer pin in Ram tested and showed 12V power but no out for Running lights. Schedule another appointment to go to Wilson Ram in Corvallis, OR. The ran another diagnostic test on it and found it was fully operational and they could not duplicate the issue I was having. As the Ram gets closer to warranty being expired and I use this...

2025 ram 3500 dual rear wheel truck has intermittent anti lock brake failure . As well as traction control, forward collision warning/assist, lane departure, high beam headlights, and other safety systems. The dealership has tried to fix these issues 8 or more times, with no success. It is illegal for Ram and Stellantis to put customers back into vehicles with anti lock brake failures. In wet/slick/or hard braking situations, loss of anti lock brakes is dangerous to my family as well as other drivers on the roads. And that danger increases when towing a large trailer when the failure happens. The dealership and Stellantis/Ram know of these problems with 2025-26 dual rear wheel Ram pickups.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 3500. The contact stated that the front passenger's side, rear passenger's side, and driver's side seat belt reminder (SBR) system was inoperable. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where a third-party engineer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the vehicle was only designed with a front driver's seat belt reminder (SBR). The manufacturer later informed the contact that Ram engineers had confirmed that the vehicle was operating as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 18.

Brand new truck (497 miles) while driving on freeway at 70 mph, truck kicked out of cruise control and threw traction control, adaptive cruise control, 4wd, check engine, and anti lock brakes disabled fault lights and codes. The vehicle will disable all these safety features for 30-50 miles, and then the faults will randomly disappear except for the check engine light. This has happened 10-12 times. This truck has had 4-5 “ram cares” case numbers, has been at the dealership for over a month combined. The faulty part supposedly is a right rear wheel speed sensor on the 12” dually axles. There is hundreds if not thousands of these trucks affected. Stellantis/ram says the sensor is has been updated, but is currently not built or for sale., there is a national backorder. We are being told to drive these trucks while ram comes up with a fix. These speed sensors...
