What 294 owners told NHTSA about the 2025 Ram Ram 1500 Quad Cab

I purchased the Vehicle in April 2025 with 500 miles as NEW. Within 3k miles, I had the AEB and “BLIND Spot warning unavailable “ both service required messages come on the vehicle. The Hazards stay on the side mirrors while driving, which make it dangerous also believing you have vehicles in your blind spot creating a safe hazard and also beeps at times. This continued to happen constantly. I was told at first presentation that there was an internal TBS(bulletin) with FCA and there was no fix. Then at 4k miles, it happened again. I took it back, they did a software update. It continued to happen. 6k miles, more software updates. A wiring harness was replaced. It is still happening for both. At 10k miles. After software updates, wiring harness update. It continues to happen.

I was pulling out of driveway, it is a steep driveway, I have kept vehicle in 4WD, I then backed up to turn around, the truck “lurched” and “jerked” forward abruptly. I thought I had hit the home in front of me or ran over something. It was not the AEB. The vehicle had changed from 4WD auto to 2WD on its own, creating a large “jump” in the gears. I took the vehicle to service and they could not replicate. This has now happened 3 other times and “jerked” me forward at lower speeds. I have slow had the vehicle “jerk” or roughly change gears while driving from 20mph to 40mpg or when lowering gears and different speeds. I have taken it to the dealership to present and was advised to take it to another dealership and test drive with myself to attempt to replicate. I have had the main center display console turn black, both on CarPlay, and using regularly. The front parking impact sensors not display on camera which could be a safety hazard of you had something or someone that was close to proximity to the vehicle and the camera not display. I have taken the vehicle in for this and was told they could not replicate.

The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) has failed and is no longer operational. The system icon on the instrument cluster is illuminated, indicating the feature is disabled. Prior to full failure, the vehicle experienced multiple dangerous events including unexpected and unintended braking at freeway speeds, creating hazardous driving conditions and requiring immediate steering correction to avoid potential collisions. The initial issue began with a loss of steering assist, which was reported. Since then, the condition has escalated. The ADAS system is now completely non-functional, and the vehicle continues to present ongoing safety risks. These failures occur during regular highway operation. I drive approximately 100 miles per day, significantly increasing exposure to these hazards. The unpredictable braking and prior steering issues create a serious risk of accident, injury, or loss of control. This issue has been ongoing for nearly four months since the initial complaint, with no permanent resolution. The vehicle is unsafe to operate under normal conditions.

My infotainment screen makes a loud buzzing noise at least 3days per week, and then it shuts down and reboots itself, this happened several times while backing out of parking spots and I lost my rear view camera, also sometimes while driving on the Highway both of my blind spot monitor lights on my mirrors will come on and my truck will display BMS malfunction and this stops my adaptive Cruise and hands free Cruise while driving on Highway at 65mph or higher. I've taken in to the dealership and they say they can't reproduce the problem with the buzzing coming from The infotainment system, and the Blindspot Monitoring System will self correct after my vehicle sits overnight, but my RAM documents the BMS and sends me an alert to take into dealership for service, but once again the dealerships say they can't replicate the issue with the bms.

Vehicle is shifting it self to park while driving and your truck will lock up in traffic, digital instrument. Cluster will go black then come back saying restart required before you can start driving and get out of harms way. Digital cluster will flash while driving causing the turn signals to malfunction and you can not see how fast you are going. It is also causing the transmission to get stuck in the current gear it is in not allowing for acceleration. You have to turn truck on and off to get the transmission to shift. Purchased truck in feb and has been at dealer for this issue to know repair 3 times now. There is finally a recall explaining exactly what is going on with my truck yet my vin is not included I have been telling Chrysler this is a major safety issue I have almost been in several major accidents because of this!

I'm having the issues related to recall 35D. My VIN apparently isn't on the list and it's very frustrating. I've had the associated false errors several times now and has put me into dangerous situations when pulling over on expressway thinking I'm having issues. Was glad to see this recall come out but frustrated my truck wasn't on the list. Dealer, FCA RAM recall team were useless when talking to them since I'm not on the list. Please help.

4-14-2026 3:25pm Temp 70 degrees. Dry pavement. I was approaching a red stoplight at 50mph. I pressed on the brake pedal but the brakes didn’t seem to be working well. I was slowing down but not like normal. I pressed harder. I heard the truck getting louder inside the cabin. The truck was not braking well at all. It was slowing down but it was not stopping. Alarmed, I pressed even harder on the brake pedal. I heard my tires squealing over the other loudness coming from the truck. Smoke came from my tires. I managed to finally get the truck stopped my switching the gear selector out of Drive. I pressed the Stop button to stop the engine. I turned the truck back on. The “loudness” I had heard earlier returned. The truck was still stopped and in Park with my foot still on the brake pedal. The tachometer on the truck was at just over 4000 RPM - far above normal idle of ~1000 RPM. The engine had been revving trying to drive the truck forward even though I had my foot off the gas and on the brake!

Gear shift cluster lights up and flashes dash states service gear shift will not start or go in gear. No codes found. Happened multiple times but never while at dealership. Now the dash cluster keeps randomly going black but never longer than 2 mins so I can't take it to the dealership while it happens. And now the backup camera is randomly flashing blue sometimes instead of showing an image. I have videos of different instances

Rear passenger seatbelt behind driver's seat detached from the vehicle. My daughter was riding in the seat with the seatbelt fastened and it suddenly releases. She thought it had become unbuckled somehow, but it actually it had separated from the vehicle where it should have been bolted into place. There were no warning signs if impending failure. My daughter's life was put at risk if there had been an accident or I had to stop abrubtly. The vehicle is in for repairs now. I am having them inspect all seat belts in the vehicle. I have very little confidence concerning my safety and that of my passengers.

The vehicle is a 2025 Ram 1500 with an active safety recall related to the trailer light connection/wiring system. The issue causes warnings indicating trailer light malfunction and affects proper trailer light operation. This is a significant safety concern because I regularly tow trailers, and improper trailer lighting creates a risk for accidents, especially at night or during braking and signaling. The recall has been confirmed by the dealer, however, the dealer has stated that parts are not available and cannot provide a timeline for repair. It has been over a month with no resolution. No repair has been performed, and the issue remains unresolved. Warning messages related to trailer connection and lighting have appeared. This directly impacts the safe operation of the vehicle and my ability to tow for work purposes. The manufacturer has not provided a timely remedy for this safety recall.

Defect Description for NHTSA Complaint Intermittent but recurring failure of the Uconnect infotainment system and rearview backup camera on a 2025 Ram 1500. The defect occurs at vehicle startup and when shifting the transmission into reverse. Symptoms include: (1) the center console display freezes and becomes unresponsive; (2) the rearview backup camera fails to display an image when reverse is selected, eliminating rear visibility required under FMVSS 111; (3) audio output cuts out completely; and (4) a loud electronic buzzing noise is frequently emitted from the dash or speakers during the failure. This is a safety-related defect because the rearview camera is inoperative at the exact moment it is federally required to function — when the driver shifts into reverse — creating a rear visibility hazard and increasing the risk of a backover incident involving pedestrians, children, or obstacles. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized Ram dealer multiple times for this issue. The dealer previously replaced the center console display/head unit under warranty, but the defect has returned and continues to occur, indicating the root cause was not the display itself. The persistence of the failure after a hardware replacement suggests a systemic issue — likely related to Uconnect software, the CAN bus communication network, a wiring harness or ground fault, or another vehicle module — rather than an isolated component failure. No crash, injury, or fire has resulted, but the loss of the backup camera at the moment of reverse engagement presents an ongoing safety risk during every use of the vehicle.

There was a recall for the cluster pack on the screen that shows my speedometer and safety features such a lane departure, turn signals, etc. I had the recall completed and my screen still blacks out randomly. It has been in the shop 3 times to fix the screen, but Ram cannot get it fixed. I have multiple pictures and videos of the screen blacking out if anyone is interested I can email them.

Our 2025 Ram 1500 is subject to a safety recall involving the trailer brake system. The dealer confirmed that the defect may cause trailer brakes and trailer lighting to fail. We were advised that there is currently no repair available and that parts may not be available for up to a year. Because of this defect, we are unable to safely tow our travel trailer, which is a primary intended use of the vehicle. This creates a significant safety concern, as failure of trailer brakes could result in loss of control while towing. The issue has been confirmed by an authorized dealer. No repair has been performed because a remedy is not yet available. The condition is ongoing.

First I would get a check engine light and infotainment screen would go black and odometer started blinking. Restart required. Occasionally the key fob is not detected. Reset the check engine light twice. Once at Huntington Beach RAM and once at Sunnyvale Chrysler. Both times the technician was unable to determine cause of fault. Slowly the failures became worse. The vehicle infotainment system and safety features that controls propulsion and ADAS intermittently started to fail and ultimately the truck started to stall. This stalling occurred 15 minutes after a service oil change and tire rotation at Sunnyvale Chrysler / RAM. Had to tow vehicle back to Sunnyvale. Batteries changed. Tech stalled on test drive after about 5 miles. RAM app still oddly indicates low battery, even though Sunnyvale replaced both batteries. Additionally, the trailer tow module (under recall) information / status on the infotainment screen menu started flashing. The trailer tow module recall was not installed as scheduled, even though parts were checked and available, however due to parts shortage, dealer indicated sales vehicle get priorities for the modules at this time. The screen started changing status without touching the screen or menu buttons. This is a serious condition I feel warrants complete check out and repair to avoid safety concerns due to failures / hazards in the operational effectiveness of the vehicle systems / controls, that could increase risk of an accident ,that might lead to vehicle or property damage, injuries or other catastrophic events.
