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.

On [XXX] I turned on a [XXX] in Amelia Co Va when I pressed the gas to get up to speed, all of the sudden the headlights, dashboard lights, interior lights go dark. Warning lights on the dashboard were flashing. I put on my hazards and pulled safely into a convenience store parking lot and shut my truck off. I waited a few minutes and turned it back on and everything came on along with the check engine light. I got back to Richmond safely and checked to see the code was for the check engine light which was a P0336. On [XXX] I went back to check the code and it was stored and the check engine light was off. On my way back home I was on [XXX] just north of Lexington VA and went to pass a slower car and the same thing happen. I was able to pull off to the right side shoulder and I turned the truck off and waited a few and turned it back on. Check engine light was on. I drove it to Roanoke and stop to get gas and check the code for the check engine light which U1401. After filling up the check engine light went off. I took it to Shelor Motor Mile on Monday 11-04-2024. They put their diagnostic tool on it and it spit out 24 different codes. They had a backlog of appointments and could not even start to address the issue for 2 weeks. I took it to the dealership that I bought it from on Monday 11-11-2024. Nobody can tell me why or what happen. One time I understand it might have been a glitch a second time it happens I consider it a safety issue that needs to be addressed. I cannot get the factory engineers to help find out whats going on with the truck. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Check engine has come on twice at 235 miles and 250 miles on the vehicle. Codes are reading for a misfire. Dealership reached out to Chrysler about the issue, as they were not able to correct it, and were told it's a software update that has not been created yet. My vehicle will have a random check engine light (either solid or flashing), lose power, stall and even completely cut off or not turn back on. This happens whether I'm driving or in park.

Vehicle Owner's Manual not available in vehicle without internet connection. This is an attempt to prevent an accident causing injury or vehicle damage when I am operating my truck. A specific example is to review the instructions to engage the low range 4x4 function without damaging the truck or myself. Beginning with the 2025 model, RAM changed it's policy of providing one paper copy of the RAM 1500 Owner's Manual to the original owner upon request. As of today, a paper copy of the 2025 RAM 1500 Owner's Manual from RAM is unattainable. It is only available in an electronic format, and to people with computers and or smartphones with active internet access. RAM does not provide access to an Owner's Manual for their 2025 RAM 1500 to anyone who doesn't have a computer or smartphone. To access the Owner's Manual in my truck, I must download the RAM app on my Smartphone and maintain a good internet connection -- the RAM app will not open without a good internet connection. The other problem with this is that I am now required by RAM to always own a smart phone and purchase an internet service to view my Owner's Manual. I have owned the truck for less than three months with less that 1,000 miles, I have been unable to access my truck's operating instructions from the Owner's Manual at least three times. I have been in contact with RAM at least 4 times requesting a paper copy of the Owner's Manual, and been told they will not provide one. The solution to this problem is to return to their original policy of providing a paper copy upon request, OR add a PDF reading capability in the truck's onboard computer and load the manual into the onboard computer. Any assistance will be appreciated.
