Auto Emergency Braking. It is available for inspection. Dealer has verified multiple instances of error codes from this issue. Dealer claims they cannot replicate it, but this has happened numerous 50+ times and occurs before and after vehicle is taken in for service for this issue. Vehicle has been inspected by manufacturer. Warning lamps appear, error message displayed saying "service required" and automatic safety email is generated by FCA and sent to me. Issue first appeared 3 days after purchased and 197 miles on odometer. Manufacturer refuses to properly address the issue. Engine failure has also occurred during this time while actively driving, but I have no idea if its related.

Constantly getting warnings that Auto emergecy braking, blind spot monitoring, and forward collision is disabled and needs service. It flashes on and off on the dash at inconsistent rates and appears to be bad wiring connections or faulty equipment. Been to dealer numerous times and still not fixed. I feel like these systems are going to fail me and could cause a potential safety concern.

The instrument cluster panel went blank for over 40 miles, despite us stopping, shutting off and restarting, etc. We had no idea what speed we were going or any of the metrics monitored by the instrument cluster like turn signals, fuel level, engine temperature, etc. No cruise control. We took it to an auto parts store that captured the error code U0155. The RAM app on my Iphone also sent a warning that the blind spot monitoring failed. I will be bringing it to Champion Chrysler Dodge Ram in Lansing, MI, on 7/7/2025 and do not intend to take it back until this problem is resolved. While the instrument cluster panel went back to normal since then, how can I be assured it will not fault again and what safety protocols can I rely upon?

Multiple warning lights for “Automatic Emergency Braking Unavailable Service Required” along with “Blind Spot Unavailable Service Required” this truck required 4 (four) trips to the dealer to find a resolution. Parts took 50 days to arrive so had to disable these important safety systems and continue driving. Blind spot light on passenger side mirror goes off randomly in heavy rain even after this repair. So while driving in the rain, it’s unreliable. Over 30 other reports of all the above issues on the RAM-RHO forums.

Adaptive cruise control does not work, Forward collision warning does not work, pedestrian emergency braking does not work, auto emergency braking does not work among other non safety issues. Dealer is aware and has ordered a new infotainment system which controls all these safety features but is unable to get it from the manufacturer for the last 6 months. This system did not work from the day I picked up the vehicle

Since purchasing the vehicle in April, I have had a continuous problem with the brake's and brake system's. The red dash warning chime and red warning light have come on. I have brought the car in 4 times to the dealer for repair, to no avail. This happened before I put 100 miles on the car and has continued. I currently only have about 680 miles. The dealer has "worked" on on it for almost 2 months (bought the car 3 months ago). The following codes keep being set (scan attached). 2 Anti-Lock Brake System Code : C05D2-00 - Master Cylinder Piston Position Higher Than Expected. C0597-00 - Brake System Control Module 'A' Performance. 1 Instrument Panel Cluster Code: B12B7-92 - Instrument Panel Cluster Display. 1 Integrated Trailer Control Module Code: C10C7-00 - Electronic Trailer Brake Control Output.

I am submitting this formal safety complaint regarding my 2025 RAM 1500 Limited, which I purchased new in November 2024 and currently with approximately 9,000 miles. The vehicle has exhibited repeated, dangerous failures of its advanced driver assistance and braking systems that place both the driver and public at serious risk. Summary of Safety Incidents: First Incident: While driving at approximately 35 mph, the vehicle abruptly and uncommandedly stopped, with no driver input. Fortunately, there were no vehicles behind me at the time, or this could have resulted in a high-speed rear-end collision. Second Incident: Roughly 400 miles later, while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle displayed multiple warning alerts and shut itself off completely. Upon restarting and driving approximately 50 yards, the braking system failed for about five seconds, rendering the truck unable to stop. This failure was later replicated by the authorized dealership’s service team, who then informed me that the vehicle’s CPU had failed during repair attempts. The vehicle has now been out of service for over 50 days, and the dealer has returned it to me twice in an unsafe condition. Stellantis, the vehicle manufacturer, has acknowledged the problem but has not provided a resolution.

The windshield of my 2025 Ram 1500 Big Horn was damaged by road debris and requires replacement. However, the manufacturer (FCA US LLC/Stellantis) has failed to supply the replacement windshield, rendering my vehicle undrivable for an extended period due to their inadequate parts supply chain. This delay creates a major safety risk because the vehicle cannot be driven legally or safely without a windshield. In emergency situations, the vehicle would be unusable, and I have incurred significant financial harm due to its inoperability. A new vehicle should not have months-long delays for critical safety components. The OEM supplier (Carlex) has confirmed that the windshield is in stock and available to ship, meaning the issue is due entirely to FCA's failure to place the order or manage their supply chain. This demonstrates negligence in FCA/Stellantis' parts supply chain, impacting customers who require essential repairs. This issue is not an isolated incident but rather a symptom of FCA's failure to ensure part availability for new vehicles. A consumer should not have to wait months to obtain a necessary safety component for a brand-new vehicle. I request that NHTSA investigate FCA/Stellantis' failure to supply essential replacement parts in a reasonable timeframe as this represents a potentially systemic issue affecting vehicle owners.

The truck brake pedal got hard and went all the way to the bottom. Dash lighted up like a Christmas tree. Luckily I was entering a parking lot so I was going slow and was able to park the truck. Truck only has 453 miles and is only 2 weeks since purchase. If there's a recall for this issue I believe it wasn't taken care of before selling it to me.

2025 RAM 1500 with 1580 miles. While in 4WD at 10 mph, vehicle message “service electronic stability control” followed by “ 4WD system temporarily unavailable” and “emergency braking unavailable. I was on a beach when it failed. Managed to get off the beach with failure still there. I shut down the vehicle a few miles later and started it back up and failure still there. After 7 miles the failure disappeared. Called service and they said call back if it happened again?? Told me the code would not be observable by the time I got to them. Sounds similar to a recall on vehicles manufactured thru August of 2024. This truck was built in September 2024.

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 truck started up, but all the lights were still on. I tried to shift into drive but it wouldn't go in gear. I think is because the brake weren't going far enough to push whatever sensor allows the shifter to shift. I tried pumping the brakes and shifting and it worked. So i drove the truck home very carefully and parked it in my driveway. The next morning I called my sales man and left him a msg. He called me later that evening and asked me to bring it in on Monday morning. I did not use the truck during the weekend because it felt very unsafe to drive. On Monday morning i drove it to the dealership and left it there. They did give me a loaner vehicle. 2 days later I got a call from Dave the service manager and he let me know that the ring that fell on my foot holds a brake pedal in place and that they were going to replace the entire brake pedal assembly, the abs module, the brake booster and some ecm (i didn't understand which one). This truck has been unusable now for 7 days and I've only owned it for 13 days. It's been in the shop for 5 days now.

While driving on a clear road my Automatic Emergency Braking System applied my brakes and attempted to stop my vehicle. The brakes released and allowed me to continue. The road surface was clear. There were no other vehicle in sight in front of me or behind me. No animals were in the area. There was nothing to trigger this activation. I'm returning the vehicle today for the repair.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2025 Ram Ram 1500 Quad Cab verdict →
