Purchased this Ram new on [XXX] On the drive home the BRAKE light came on. I just figured it was some new tech that I needed to read up on to understand why this light came on. I made it home and when I went out for a drive with my family it was off. I drove the vehicle on a short trip then home. The following day the light came on and while at a stop light the pedal pushed to the floor. I shut off the truck restarted it and the pedal restored and worked. This happened again the following day and I called the dealer I purchased it from and did not receive a call back. I scheduled and appointment for 2/5/2025 with a Ram dealer closer to my house. They kept the vehicle overnight and next day said the brake fluid was off and I should be all good. I drove off the lot for approx. 5 miles and the brakes failed again. I returned the truck to the dealer on [XXX] closer to home and have not had it returned back to me. A week and still no confirmation on a definite diagnosis. I have requested to have the truck exchanged and have not heard back from Stellantis case manager. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Brand new 2025 Ram 1500 Bighorn/Lonestar purchased on 10/24/24. From day 1 it pulls to the right at highways speeds. The dealer has tried to fix the issue with alignment two times, but not luck, they don’t know what is wrong because all the numbers in alignment are green and good. There are several online posts that are talking about this issue with the 2025 Ram 1500s. Also in regard to my truck greeting light feature, the service advisisor said the technician claims it is not a feature on the Bighorn/Lonestar trims, but I believe it is. If it wasn't a feature, then I wouldn't have those options in my settings. I also discovered something interesting about this. At night, after turning my truck off - but without pressing the key fob, LOCK button, if I press the key fob UNLOCK button, the headlights and taillights come on (as per the featured settings) like they are supposed to do. However, if I press the key fob LOCK button first (1 or 2 presses - it doesn't matter), when I press the key fob UNLOCK button, the headlights and taillights do not turn on (as per the featured settings) like they are supposed to. Again, I believe this is a software issue, but could be related to the headlight module that I am seeing being reported online as well.

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.
