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 refuses to acknowledge. And if my truck catches fire there will be additional lawsuits for negligence against Summit Automotive.

On 4/22/25 I was driving home from store and my truck down shifted to low and wouldn't come out of gear.the screen went blue as well. The truck has been in shop for 5 weeks and was told the truck had several codes that they couldn't figure out and the code are scrambled. I asked the service manager if the truck is safe and he said he thinks it should be. I was told by Stellantis Representative that they are trying g to get a regional engineer to find out what ls going on. I was also told by the Service Manager at Greenville Chrysler if they can't duplicate the issue they are going to release the vehicle. I told them several times that I have to be guaranteed that the truck is safe for my family and my self.

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 at dealers for repairs. I suspect this is a failure of the PCM software and eTorque system similar to the recall put in place to 2019-2023 ETorque models with the V8 (mine is V6 and a 2025). THIS IS A HUGE DANGER AND RISK. With no warning the vehicle becomes undrivable while it is being driven!! Had I needed to stop quickly I could not. Had I needed to turn quickly to avoid something I could not. Had I needed to accelerate to avoid being rear ended, I could not.

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)

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.

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.

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 time they say they cannot resolve. They say they have been in contact with the manufacturers -??tech line-?? and have followed all their recommendations, but nothing has worked and there are no other resolutions available. There is nothing they can do. Due to the misfire code and the check engine light is on, the truck cannot be used safely on the road due to erratic performance. Sometimes on the highway, maximum speed will drop to 40 mph. Misfire codes also present a problem with potential engine damage. Also, I am obviously worried about my state SAFETY inspection that is due in another 6 months that would certainly fail leaving me unable to legally operate the vehicle. Since this seems to be a mysterious issue that Stellantis/RAM is unable to understand, much less repair, I am worried about potential long-term issues with this truck. Stellantis will not publicly state how many occurrences there are for this situation, but if online groups are any indication, it is a large number.

Engine auto stop/start (ESS) fails to start causing unsafe conditions. Restarting procedure sometimes requires multiple attempts to get the vehicle moving again in traffic.

- Jacksonville, NC, USA

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.

The contact stated that after restarting the vehicle, the vehicle returned to normal functionality. The drowsiness alert warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,000.

My check engine light came on after 200 miles of owning my vehicle, this started in July of 2024. Code scanner revealed it is several misfire codes. This issue seems to be very common for the 2025 ram with the new twin turbo V6 engine where many people in vehicle groups for this truck all know about it. Ram has acknowledged the issue but doesn-??t have a fix almost 6 months later. I call the dealer monthly and they always say there is no fix. There is nothing they can do. Due to the misfire code and the check engine light is on I cannot use things like my remote vehicle starter or utilize my app that I paid for. Misfire codes also present a problem with the engine, they can cause engine damage along with a reduction in power. Since the issue started so early in owning the vehicle it is hard to tell if any power reduction issues are present. I am obviously worried about my state inspection that is due in another 6 months and if this a potential fail I am also worried about potential long term issues with no fix from Ram. This problem has been happening since the release of this resigned model which now around 7-8 months with no fix.

Started the vehicle at 280 miles and the check engine light started flashing and engine running rough, sounding rough and stalling out. After restart check engine light was solid and I drove to nearest dealership. I was told it's Multiple Cylinder Misfire codes and that it's a known issue with these engines/models, that it will continue to happen intermittently on cold starts and that that Ram is working on it and was sent home. There is no known cause and no solution. The selling dealership, the nearest servicing dealership and Ram Customer Care have no idea how to help and winter is coming so all of my vehicle starts will be cold. The vehicle is brand new and the engine has major malfunctions and is unsafe to drive reliably.

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 just take home a non correctly functioning $62,000 truck I haven-??t even made the 1st payment on? So it can what, strand me on the side of the road?"
