Check engine light is on and off for the past month. The day before I took it to the dealer the light went off. I went into my vehicle appointment, and the check engine light was off and there were old codes for the fuel temperature. He reset the codes, and the engine light went off. I drove off and obtained fuel the next day and when I filled the tank, the check engine light went back on again. On December 21st, 2025 I drove it to an AutoZone for the free engine code diagnostic tool/test. The code that presents itself is "Fuel Temperature Sensor B Circuit Intermittent". This is the second issue with the vehicles electrical system. The first was two weeks after I bought the vehicle in March 2025 the vehicle would not start. Come to find out, the electronic shifter was wired wrong from the factory and a whole new was ordered and installed. I will have to take it back again to the dealer.
2025 Ram 1500 complaints
Owner reports filed with NHTSA about this vehicle, newest first and reproduced as filed. They are unverified accounts: one proves nothing, and a pattern across many is the thing worth reading. Back to the full 2025 record →
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 70 MPH, the battery was abnormally drained, and the vehicle lost power. The Battery warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the same local dealer on various occasions. The battery and other unknown parts were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon accelerating from a complete stop, the engine revved up, but the vehicle failed to exceed 5 MPH. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure had occurred while in traffic on four occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 2,000.
The first major problem was when the truck just didn't start 11/25/2025. The truck was towed to the dealership. The dealership said it was a bad electrical fuse and I picked up the truck. There were no warning lights on before the brake failure. Last week, 12/18/2025 my brakes failed while I was driving my son home from school; thankfully we were in our development and going very slow so we weren't harmed. I was driving like I normally do, and went to brake, and the brakes weren't working, the pedal was to the floor. There was just no resistance with the brakes at that time. All the warning lights in the truck were flashing. After we rolled to a stop in the grass, I turned the truck off. I tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't go on. I waited a few mintues and tried again and it turned on. I was a few houses away from my home so I attempted to drive it again very slowly, and the brakes worked again. The truck got towed to the dealership, and the dealership is saying they can not find anything wrong with the truck now. There must be some kind of major electrical issue going on, but the dealership says they can't find anything wrong.
All issues have been reported and duplicated by the dealer. 1. Upon hard acceleration, vehicle dash flashes service 4 wheel drive and all lights surrounding the shifting knob flash. In one instance, it locked into 4 wheel (high) and was difficult to steer. Cleared upon restart. 2. Backup camera went totally to blue screen, no camera. 3. Instrument panel went dark when driving, no speedometer or other information on panel. 4. Front and rear end collision warning lamp indicates off, but never manually disengaged. 5. Other warning lights on periodically for no reason. 6. Since most of these items clear upon restarting the vehicle, it's often difficult to get to the dealer for inspection. They have, however, witnessed most of these incidents and in some cases have reproduced them when leaving the vehicle with them. 7. Frequent warning light illumination unavailable, service required prompt appears
Parking sensor failed when pulling in parking spot and didn’t alert driver of concrete light pole that was approaching vehicle.
While driving my 2025 Ram RHO on the freeway I experienced a sudden steering malfunction resulting in loss of normal steering assist and abnormal steering response. The steering became stiff and difficult to turn and maintain control. This occurred without warning. The failure creates a serious safety risk. Particularly at highway speeds, as it requires excessive force to steer and could result in loss of vehicle contol,collission,rollover. the vehicle has been at the dealership now for 40+ days awaiting repair. the dealer diagnosed the issue as a steering system failure but required parts are on national back order with NO estimated delivery date The vehicle is currently undrivable and unsafe to operate. The defect presents a clear safety hazard because: sudden steering failure loss of steering assist failure has occurred at thighway speeds driver may be unable to safely maneuver vehicle or avoid obstacle
Despite multiple repair attempts, the vehicle continues to experience significant, recurring issues that substantially impair its use, value, and safety. Since purchase in April from Hebert’s Town and Country, the vehicle has been in service nine (9) times, totaling approximately 50 days out of service. The last four service visits were for the same issue and the same diagnostic fault code, demonstrating a persistent, unresolved defect. The check engine light is currently illuminated again. The primary unresolved issues include: recurring check engine light with repeated fault codes, multiple battery replacements, the vehicle being completely inoperable and requiring towing, and the auto start/stop system shutting the vehicle off and failing to restart while stopped in traffic. These conditions present clear safety concerns and have persisted despite repeated repair attempts by authorized RAM dealerships. All service records and diagnostic reports are available for review. This vehicle was previously submitted to arbitration. While the arbitrator acknowledged manufacturing defects, the conclusion that the defects did not substantially impair the vehicle and were “separate and distinct” is inconsistent with the diagnostic evidence. The repeated appearance of the same fault code across multiple visits indicates a single, recurring nonconformity rather than unrelated issues. Since the arbitration decision, the vehicle has continued to experience the same problem and has been ret
Vehicle shut off while driving several times. Light issues Powered down shifting This truck had done this several times and been returned to dealer. Dealer states take it somewhere else they doing what Stellantis told them
Tire monitoring system started with one tired then on to all tires one at a time came on. Then one at a time went off. Also the big display doesn't turn off when vehicle does. I have to turn truck back on and off again to get it to shut off. Just randomly shuts off going down the road. Passenger screen doesn't turn on most days. Also lights turn on by themselves in thr middle of thr night.
Blind Spot Alert has no volume setting. It is either on or off. It is extremely loud to the point it will startle the driver and occupants. While in motion in left turn lane it will detect vehicles in opposing lanes and sound. When making turns, it will detect my trailer and sound. It will detect utility poles and sound. The over detecting wouldn't be such a problem, but it is probably four times volume needed for the alert. Front collision, rear collision both have volume settings and "Low" has plenty of volume. Most people complaining on the forums simply turn off the audio alert due to no volume setting and rely only on the light. The volume is so loud it defeats the purpose of the audio alert when the only option is to turn it off. Please require RAM to fix this problem.
The rear view camera and screen turn off while backing up. I have taking it to the dealer for repairs two time with no results.
About 3 times already the vehicle have stalled after been stop at a traffic light. When I lift my foot from the brake pedal and hit the gas the vehicle does not move. I had to hit the brakes and put it in park and then drive again for it to go. The last time yesterday I was on a hill and the vehicle went back when I tried to hit the gas. I took it to the dealer on Nov 19, and they kept it for four days and did not repair it.
I purchased this RAM 1500 Big Horn Edition truck new on 12/23/24. The backup camera display has randomly failed 14 times only showing a blue screen. I have been able to clear the error by turning the vehicle off and back on except for two occasions (see*). There was not any resolution by the dealership on November 10, 2025, as they could not replicate the issue. The dates of this failure are: 1/22/2025, 1/24/2025, 2/6/2025, 3/9/2025, 3/12/2025, 5/8/2025, 5/18/2025, 5/25/2025*, 5/25/2025*, 9/24/2025, 9/28/2025*, 9/28/2025*, 10/23/2025, 10/23/2025. I'm aware of a recent recall (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number: 25V826000) involving this truck and I suspect this critical backup screen failure is associated with the new recall. I have 14 images of the blue screen and will upload 5 photos for your review. If desired, I can send all 14 images later.
Due to cold weather tire pressure went down, notice on screen is telling me to inflate to 50 psi. This information is incorrect.
Headlight shut off when truck slows down
Headlights flicker off and then back on at random times while driving. I've been unable to reproduce the issue on command in any way. No warning lamps or anything by the truck. The first couple times while driving at night I thought it was my eyes because it happened when I was looking away like when turning around a neighborhood corner and checking for traffic. Now, I've noticed it happening while driving straight and looking out the windshield. It's a very brief flicker, but it's definitely the headlights shutting off and turning back on again. The issue has not been reported to the dealer yet. The truck is brand new and is experiencing other electrical blips at only 800 miles total. I will be stopping at a local dealer ASAP.
On November 16th while on vacation and traveling through west Texas, our 2025 Ram 1500 SST Lonestar cancelled our adaptive cruise and automatic emergency brake. A message popped up again stating "Auto Emergency Braking (AEB)/ACC Unavailable Service Required". We were pulling our travel trailer and we found that if we shut off vehicle, it would reset and appear to work for a short time but would them cancel our adaptive cruise and automatic emergency brake. On November 17th we took it to Sisbarro CDJR in Deming, NM and they claimed they couldn't verify our problem with a 30 minute text drive. So their tech did an update to the PCM and gave us the truck back. We hitched up the next day and with 15 minutes the problem happened again. We stopped using the adaptive cruise control and started using the regular cruise. The message continued and we continued to Surprise, AZ without the ACC and AEB. On Monday, November 24th, we took the vehicle to Larry Miller CDJR in Surprise, AZ. After I described the ongoing problem to the service writer, he told that it would be 3 or 4 days before they could look at it and it could take at least an additional 2 days to repair if they could recreate the problem. I asked him if he thought it was safe to drive back to Mansfield, TX and he said it should be okay. Over the next three days we returned home and continued to have the problem with the ACC and AEB warning. I've have called Classic CDJR in Arlington, TX and scheduled an appointment for Tuesd
Key Fob intermittently stops communicating. Both key sets do the same and have replaced FOB batteries. Nearly 50% of the time the key FOB will not work or start vehicle. A message is displayed that the key is not in the vehicle.
Unable to smoothly and safely accelerate from a stop. If you apply the lightest possible touch to the throttle the vehicle will surge and have a shuttering feeling, not smooth or linear, once pressed slightly further the truck accelerates in an unsafe fashion both forward and reverse . Hooking up a trailer is very dangerous as are all maneuvers when pulling away from a stop.
Driver's side headlight shines excessively to the left. Blinding oncoming traffic and not illuminating the forward path of travel the way the passenger headlight does. Not able to adjust the headlight and dealer is not able to do anything about it either.
Dashboard went blank, lost all information including speed
Headlights and parking lights shut completely off while driving. Not just a flash. They turn off and come back on while slowing down. Not only are we driving in total darkness but other drivers think we are blinking lights and turn or pull in front of us. Truck was bought new in April 2025. Has been at dealership for over 120 days. They don't seem to be able to fix and won't give us a replacement. They seem to thinking that driving without lights is not a safety issue. Just in short time we actually had possession of it . I personally had to take invasive action twice from a pull out and a vehicle turning left in front of me. Wife also had to take invasive action to prevent a collision. Now she is scared to drive her own vehicle.
Glass sunroof exploded
When any tire pressure is detected as low, my 3.5 inch display in front of the steering wheel switches to a display showing the four tires and each tire pressure with the low tire in a different color. Now here's the problem, a message is also displayed below the graphic saying "inflate to 50 psi". The door placard inflation is 36psi. 50psi is close to the MAX inflation list on the side wall of the tires as 51 psi. This is the exact problem listed in the existing safety recall NHTSA 25V-231, however my vehicle is not showing up as included in this recall. I believe there has been an error in identification of some affected vehicles. That is the sole purpose of this request, to make sure all impacted vehicles are properly identified. I suspect mine is not the only one not identified.
Date: November 12, 2025 Vehicle: 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn 3.0 Dealer: Frank Boucher Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Janesville – 4001 Milton Ave, Janesville, WI 53546 I have been experiencing ongoing electrical and instrument cluster failures with my 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn 3.0 since purchase. The most serious issue is a recurring message: “Warning Light Illumination Cannot Be Shown – Service Required.” This means the cluster cannot guarantee display of safety alerts such as the check engine, airbag, brake, or oil pressure lights. This is a major safety hazard because I may not be warned of a system failure while driving. The truck also shows false “Trailer Light Out” warnings when no trailer is connected, indicating a fault in the Body Control Module (BCM) or CAN bus communication. This may cause incorrect trailer or brake-light behavior, putting other drivers at risk if brake or turn-signal lighting fails to operate properly. It also displays a false “Too Much Oil” warning despite normal levels, and the 3.0 engine has no dipstick, preventing manual verification. The truck has also failed to start multiple times with both the remote fob and manual ignition. On November 12, 2025, it would not start at all; after several attempts, it started with the check engine light briefly on, then it turned off on its own. I have brought the vehicle to the dealer twice. Technicians confirmed Dodge/Stellantis is aware of the defect but said no repair or software update currently exists. The issue
Vehicle shifted into park while on the highway
Truck was with the dealership for two weeks, they took it on a test drive. When they got back to the dealership, the truck caught on fire which they stated was "blown up starter"
My truck has an issue where the headlights do not turn on when I press the key fob while approaching the truck. This is at night only. The side mirror lights, rear cargo lights and interior lights activate however the headlights do not. This is an issue for personal safety when approaching the truck in the dark. There must be a glitch. The headlights will illuminate during the daytime when it is bright out or if the remote start is activated. The vehicle was seem by a Ram Dealership and no active recalls were present. Manufacturer Recall No. : D4B which addresses some headlight issues apparently did not effect my truck and no flash was done on the software. I feel that this is a major safety concern as I am unable to brightly see my surroundings when I approach my truck.
The components that are malfunctioning is the windshield wipers (won't turn off), and the windshield wiper fluid won't work either, the turn signals (won't turn on), no high beams when this happens, my monitor will say something about no SOS calls, and something about the airbags not working. I've had to remove the fuse for the windshield wipers to stop them from scratching up my windshield when it's not raining, but I have no turn signals still so both not working is a huge safety risk to me and others. I took it to 3 different dealers, Council Bluffs, Iowa, they couldn't find anything and weren't interested unless I was buying a vehicle, then Denver, Co, they had it for like 3 or 4 days, they said because I disconnected the battery they couldn't find any codes, so that was a waste of time, but they did see I needed a transmission flush and oil change, so I ended up driving it back to the dealer I bought this POS from in Killeen, TX, they said it was the SCCM and that it needed to be replaced, so I waited like 4 or 5 days, when they said the vehicle was ready, i went to pick it up, I got like a mile away, and guess what the windshield wipers came on and I had no turn signals. This problem comes and goes, but it can happen at anytime while I'm driving. I bought this RAM in May of this year, this shouldn't be happening. All the dealer could say was sorry this is happening, that's not what any consumer want's to hear especially when it is a serious safety issue. These issues st
When applying brakes there is an audible chirping noise from the front driver side wheel well area. There is also a similar noise while driving (and not applying pressure to the brake pedal) when going over bumps/holes in the road. Concern initially reported to dealer in Spring of 2025, dealer confirmed hearing the noise under both situations listed. Dealer removed then greased and re-installed components in brake caliper. Noise subsided for a few months, however it has since returned. In addition there are now evident issues with braking ability when traveling at speed.
The side airbags went off while driving with no impact. Driver sustained minor cuts and bruises from seat and curtain airbag. The vehicle shut off and automatically began calling the police. The vehicle was inspected by the RAM dealer and they refused to repair the vehicle stating that the vehicle detected a rollover (This did not happen). The insurance company found that the truck's airbag system was defective and required replacement of the faulty impact sensors. There were no warning lamps prior to the incident.
Front Airbags deployed without collision. Vehicle shut off and called police. Driver got severe laceration on face from driver airbag projectile. Vehicle was brought to RAM dealer and they recommended replacing all airbag components including ORC. The ORC did not have stored collision data. Attempted to open case with RAM/stellantis but they closed the case without investigating. THIS IS THE SECOND DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT A COLLISION.
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that immediately after purchasing the vehicle, the contact experienced issues with the brakes. The contact stated that while driving at 80 MPH, several messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The ABS warning light and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed but traveled down to the floorboard, and the vehicle failed to respond immediately. The vehicle eventually came to a rolling stop. The contact was able to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, while reversing out of the driveway, several messages were displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The contact stated that the brakes failed while at the dealer while an employee was test driving the vehicle. However, no cause for the failure was found. The dealer replaced the auxiliary battery, and the park assist module was reprogrammed. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the blind spot sensor had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,504.
Purchased a 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel X ($82k MSRP, fully loaded) in May 2025 for family use and towing horse trailers in remote areas (solo female driver). At ~8,000 miles, it has had repeated electrical failures under warranty, creating safety hazards (shift lock, stranding risks, public safety impact). No Stellantis fix; Q4 2025 software promised. Video of Oct 10 incident available. Timeline: • May 2025: Took delivery. Used for errands, remote towing. • Sept 10, 2025 (~7,500 miles): Truck non-responsive in driveway (no fob/locks/dash/start). Blocked spouse’s SWAT vehicle, delaying emergency response (public safety hazard). Towed to dealer via Stellantis Customer Care. • Sept 11-12, 2025 (Visit #1, 2 days out): ‘Dead battery’ diagnosed; replaced. Issues continued to occur. • Sept 12 - Oct 10, 2025: Electrical issues impaired use: slow Uconnect screens (distraction); stuck radio volume; ‘Illumination Alert Unavailable’ (headlight issues); settings not saving (HUD/seats); locks cycling unprompted; proximity key unreliable (stranding risk). Lost trust for towing. • Oct 10, 2025 (~7,900 miles): In remote pasture after dark, cluster went black (no gauges); engine started but transmission locked in Park (‘D’ flashing). Stranded solo female driver (no cell service; tow inaccessible—severe safety risk). Restarts failed; sat 10 min, self-resolved. Video available. Drove home cautiously. • Oct 11, 2025 - Present Oct 14, 2025 (Visit #2, 10+ days): At dealer for cluster/shift/BCM issues. Pri
My speedometer is off by 9mph while traveling 70mph. When I purchased my vehicle new from the dealer, they had already installed bigger tires. I noticed that my speedometer showed 70mph and my gps showed 79mph. I took it to the dealer and they showed me where they had programed the new tire size in the computer but it did not adjust my speedometer. The service manager said its withing normal limits. I have been pulled over twice for "speeding" when my speedometer said 58mph and the cop said he clocked me at 65mph. I feel like this could be a saftey issue for potentially speeding in unsafe zones such as construction or school zones without knowing it.
I do not believe my truck's forward collision warning and emergency braking work. I have had a few very close calls with rearending a vehicle in front of me and the truck did not brake automatically or give any collision warning. Also, the adaptive cruise control is set on the furthest distance, but it follows very closely to the vehicle in front of me. Like a 1.5 second length at the most. When I change the setting to follow closer, it will follow a vehicle within inches. I believe this causes a safety issue with a potential crash.
Odometer is not working properly and not updating miles driven. At new start miles will be 446(example) will advance miles when driven. When vehicle is shut and restarted the odometer will revert back to original miles of 500. This started when truck was serviced on 09/03/2025 and milage was documented at 446. At every new start no matter how many miles driven the miles return to 446.
I have been to the dealership twice because the driver's side headlight points way to the left, it's not centered. They said there is no adjustment for bringing it to center position. It's a hazard because there is no lighting in front of the driver. There's an obvious blind spot.
My vehicle makes a rattle noise in the front brake area. I took the car to the dealer for warranty twice to have it checked, and they told me that some parts in the brake pad area are vibrating, causing the noise. They solved it by applying grease where the part is installed, but the sound returns after a short time. This is a problem for me because a new car isn't supposed to make that type of noise. I'm also worried that this problem could develop into one that ultimately affects the performance of the vehicle's brakes. I believe the part name is Disc Brake Pad Spring Kit (68545609AA).
On [XXX], while driving my 2025 Ram 1500 Laramie at approximately 60 mph on a dark rural road, the truck suddenly stalled without warning. The engine shut off, but all lights and electrical systems initially remained powered. I shifted into Neutral and attempted to restart while coasting, at which point the truck completely lost electrical power — headlights, dash, ignition button, and interior lighting all went dead. I initially thought I might have accidentally cycled the ignition button off, but repeated attempts to restart had no response. As I rolled to a stop, the vehicle automatically shifted itself into Park, causing a sudden and violent stop. Once stationary, the truck restarted normally as if nothing had happened. Prior to this event, there were multiple related issues: – On [XXX], the truck would crank but not start for about 30–40 minutes before finally starting normally. – On [XXX], a check engine light appeared during an hour drive to LAX. After parking and restarting, the light disappeared. – On September 29, 2025, I took the truck to Crown Dodge in Ventura County, CA, where a wireless OBD-II scan found no codes. I was advised to return if the problem persisted. – A few months prior, the truck stalled at low speed when pulling forward from a stop in a parking lot. The [XXX] incident was extremely dangerous, leaving me completely unpowered and invisible to oncoming traffic at night. These repeated, escalating failures suggest a serious intermittent electrical or

Vehicle has been to the dealer numerous times they’ve changed the batteries. The truck will not start after it sits for 24 hours. The batteries are dead. Chrysler will not do anything about it. The dealership doesn’t know how to fix it. It’s been at the dealership on and off for almost 3 months now getting no answers or satisfaction. Truck is brand new.
The digital instrument cluster failed. All telemetry is shown on this cluster including speed, fuel level, rpm, odometer and more. The cluster was going totally black every two minutes and it would disable cruise, lane departure warning, blind spot warning and the check engine light was on. There was no indication prior that there was a problem, it just all of a sudden went black and beeped. Then it would come back after 5 seconds and do it again two minutes later. Also my odometer wasn't working or updating the miles. The dealer confirmed the cluster needed to be replaced. It sat at the dealer for 96 days before the repair was made.
Bought 2025 Dodge Ram on 9/9/24. Since then I have had it into the shop 10+ times. There is a check engine light that comes on. Engine runs VERY rough and erratic. Had issues driving away from a stop light, chugging, lack of power. Making a left hand turn is taking my life in my hands! Each time at the dealership, they run the codes. P0300 is the primary. They just say its a known issue. Manufacture is working on it. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW!! They have never actually done anything to the vehicle other than run diagnostics and turn off the light. In fact the last time I picked up the vehicle 9/12/25, they didn't even turn off the light. Tech said, "whats the point?" I have elevated this with the manufacture Case94136984. There reply was that its not dangerous and a fix is coming. Have you ever tried to make a left hand turn and the truck stops and starts chugging??? Even the dealership stated this IS a safety concern. Question of the day: This is a 2025 Dodge Ram. Are they STILL selling these vehicles with this known issue??? If they have fixed it in new sells, then FIX MINE! I have records of each time the light has come on, had it into the dealership, and been turned away because "there's nothing we can do, Dodge wont let us do more"
My wife and I were driving at approximately 30 mph down a street with no vehicles or obstructions around. My truck auto braking initiated and locked up the brakes stopping us immediately and the vehicle turned off. I've taken the truck to the dealership for other electronic errors and issues, but they always get dismissed since they don't stay stored for the dealership to troubleshoot. They always clear when the vehicle restarts. Minor injuries from seatbelt due to sudden stop. Unsure of other damage to vehicle or tires. Thankfully no cars were behind us or we would have been rear ended.
My 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn, ~6,000 miles) experienced a steering-assist failure and then a ruptured coolant hose that sprayed coolant over electronics. Dealer (Hendrick Hoover) refused warranty service and instructed me to leave their property. Ram Customer Care told me to drive the unsafe truck home while my child was onboard. The vehicle is now inoperable and unsafe. I have photos and video of the leak and the dealer refusing service. I request an urgent safety investigation and that NHTSA notify Stellantis that my vehicle presents a clear safety risk.
Driving on the highway with cruise control set, heard a beep and looked at my instrument cluster. Cluster went blank, cruise control turned off, lane management turned off. Then another beep turned on instrument panel and now was frozen at 0 as I was driving at highway speed. Next I was stopped at the off ramp and instrument panel said I was doing 57. I have videos of it happening. And it is in a constant frozen to reboot stage
This vehicle has less than 3,000 miles on it and has been in the shop at least three times for a recurring issue with the transmission "lunging" and "clunking hard upon down shift and upshift (automatic). The electrical system and computer are confused and cause the vehicle to literally stop and not engage in gear while driving! Today, the truck was in DRIVE awhile I was sitting at a light in heavy traffic. When I hit the gas at light change, the truck revved up but did not go! I was almost hit from behind as I had no brake lights indicated. Additionally, I kept getting a flashing gear selector indicator knob saying to put the TRUCK IN PARK AND SELECT THE DRIVE OPTION. I did but it still wouldn't go. I then got a software update light on the screen and the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT came on. I finally had to literally wave people around me in traffic as I was stalled out. I turned the truck off, restarted and it moved forward BUT at a high RPM. I have parked the truck but the dealer service is full up until late in the week and RAM CARE representatives were foreign and did not speak English well (I could not clearly understand them in my emergency call). Dealer is unwilling to act decisively to a life or death situation (opinion mine). SO we need to ensure we don't get killed or injured (God forbid) and IF there is a serious incident with this vehicle, there is documentation to attest it has been "serviced" several times for the electrical system fluctuating, the transmission droppin
My vehicle had issues from the first day. I purchased the car on the day of delivery. The vehicle had a check engine light since then the vehicle has been repaired six times at the dealership and still has issues.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
