I am filing a serious safety complaint regarding my 2025 Ram truck, which has fewer than 40,000 miles, has already had TWO RECALLS, and has experienced repeated electrical failures requiring multiple dealership visits. The truck recently failed to start entirely and is currently at the dealership with no diagnosis or repair timeline. Previous repairs also remain incomplete due to unavailable parts. Our neighbor owns the same year and model Ram and is experiencing similar electrical problems. This raises serious concerns about a potential widespread manufacturing defect. I no longer feel this vehicle is safe or reliable to operate. The dealership's failure to properly diagnose and resolve these recurring issues is unacceptable. I strongly urge NHTSA to investigate these electrical failures, review related recalls, and determine whether these vehicles pose a safety risk to drivers and the public before someone gets seriously hurt.

While operating my 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel in reverse to back out of a parking space, the brakes suddenly and completely failed. The brake pedal traveled entirely to the floorboards with zero normal resistance. The vehicle retained an estimated 3% or less of total braking power, barely and very slowly bringing the truck to a stop. Had this catastrophic mechanical failure occurred at highway speeds or exiting a freeway, it would have resulted in a high-speed, potentially fatal collision. Upon inspecting the driver-side footwell immediately following the incident, I discovered the brake pedal arm had physically disconnected from the booster rod mechanism, and a metal retaining C-clip had popped off. The vehicle was completely disabled and flatbed towed to a Ram dealership. Video evidence of the disconnected pedal assembly in the footwell is attached to this report.

2025 Ram Limited. Front ParkSense camera (the camera that automatically activates when Front ParkSense detects an object) shuts off after the vehicle is turned off and left overnight. Every morning the system must be manually re-enabled in Uconnect settings before the front camera will activate again during parking maneuvers. This occurs consistently after the truck sits overnight. The issue does not stay enabled across ignition cycles when the vehicle is left parked for several hours. I took the vehicle to the dealer; they found no issue. I also contacted Ram customer service, who stated there is no known issue with this condition. No crash, injury, or property damage has occurred, but the daily loss of the front camera view reduces the effectiveness of the ParkSense system during low-speed parking and could contribute to a collision in tight spaces.

The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 800.

The brakes failed suddenly without warning on XXX. The vehicle was towed to Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in [XXX], where it was purchased new on XXX. The dealer diagnosed and replaced the ABS Module, but still got faults. They then diagnosed and replaced the Brake Booster, but testing showed that the replacement Booster was leaking, so it was replaced again. After the second booster was installed, a leak was discovered in the Master Cylinder, which they say must now be replaced. The vehicle has been in the repair shop for 28 consecutive days, and three attempts to repair it have failed. When the brake failure first occurred on XXX, multiple warning lights illuminated - 6 or 7 - and messages to service the brakes and other components were displayed on subsequent start up. There were no indications at all prior to the failure. In fact, the vehicle had recently returned from a 2,800 mile trip with no problems at all. The vehicle has 19,060 miles on the odometer. I now have zero confidence that the brakes will be safe. Luckily this occurred in a parking lot where I was able to safely deal with it. Had this happened during the recent long trip, my wife and I (I'm [XXX] and she is [XXX]) would have been stranded somewhere far from home. Had it occurred while driving at highway speed on XXX in heavy traffic, it could have been disastrous for me and my wife, and also other motorists. I contacted FCA US LLC and the Customer Service Rep assigned Case# XXX. I have requested printouts of all diagnostics, repair attempts, and repairs from Daytona Dodge.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? PCM, Auto Start-Stop System (based on what I was told by the RAM dealership and paperwork) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When coming to a complete stop at an intersection, the vehicle stalled and shut down entirely, and the vehicle automatically shifted to park. Vehicle was able to be restarted only after pressing the brake, pressing the ignition button, and manually shifting into drive. This could have caused a collision if I was in stop-and-go traffic in a busier area, because I did not know how to respond to the vehicle randomly stalling to begin with. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. RAM dealership was able to replicate. Service advisor told me there was a Technical Service Bulletin released on 10/6/26 that addressed vehicle stalling due to the PCM and auto start-stop system. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. This has only been inspected by Academy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Tipton, IN Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to failure. After the third time the vehicle stalled, the check engine light illuminated. This vehicle was then towed to the dealership for inspection.
