2024 RAM 2500

The contact owns a 2024 Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the trailer braking system failed to operate, slow the vehicle, or stop the trailer while the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the trailer brake disconnected warning light was illuminated. The contact researched and was made aware of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V059000 (Exterior Lighting, Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed, and it was determined that the trailer brake controller needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

The vehicle experienced repeated electrical and no-start issues believed to be related to the RF/electrical communication system. The truck has been returned to the dealership repeatedly for this issue and recently spent approximately two months at the dealership for diagnosis and repair. After finally being returned, the vehicle was completely dead the very next morning and would not start. The vehicle has also experienced dangerous electrical failures while being driven. During one incident at night, the headlights and interior electrical system became extremely dim and began flickering while an employee was operating the truck. Visibility was significantly reduced to the point the driver could barely see the roadway. During the same event, the brake pedal became abnormally hard to press intermittently, creating a serious safety concern while driving. The failure also occurred on our business lot where the truck was blocking multiple trailers needed for scheduled customer deliveries, creating operational disruption and safety concerns related to moving equipment and trailers around an inoperable heavy-duty truck. The dealership reportedly replaced or repaired an RF-related component/module during the repair process. However, the problem appears unresolved because the truck failed again immediately after being returned from service. Symptoms have included: * Complete battery drain/no-start condition * Flickering and dimming headlights/electrical systems * Intermittent hard brake pedal condition * Repeated electrical-related issues * Extended dealer downtime * Ongoing unresolved repair attempts The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. This truck is used daily for commercial/business operations. Reliability concerns are significant because unexpected electrical failure or no-start conditions can leave the vehicle stranded or create hazardous driving conditions. The issue has been reproduced after dealer repair attempts. Based on the symptoms and

On 4/28/25 our 2024 Dodge Ram 2500 truck caught fire, It had 25,880 miles on it. we bought it brand new in 9/24. Flames were coming from the engine. The fire had to be extinguished with a fire extinguisher. The truck was towed to the local Dodge dealership. Miracle Chrysler After they looked at the truck we were told that fired was caused by a faulty heater grid. The truck has been sitting at the Dodge dealership since 4/28/25 to current. Originally we were told Stellantis would buy it back then they changed their minds and said no we will repair it. As of today they still have not started the repairs. I have invoice dated 1/8/26 that sates it will cost $55,277.23 just in parts to repair the damage that does not include the labor fees and they are not sure that is all the parts they will actually need. We have been making the payment on this truck the entire time is has been sitting there $1369.87 plus renting another truck for $641 a week from Enterprise. They are going to spend more money to repair the truck than the payoff. Current pay is $62,235.41. Makes no sense. Then this week I saw on the news that RAM just issued a recall for the same truck but years 2019-2023 with 6 fires recorded for same issue faulty heater grid. I think my truck is one of the first of 2024 to catch fire from the same issue.

The contact owns a 2024 Ram Promaster 2500. The contact stated that on several occasions, while parked or while driving at various speeds, the air bag and Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights intermittently illuminated. The contact stated that the message "SOS -Unavailable - Please Contact Dealer for Service" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer on several occasions for approximately a year, where it was diagnosed that the power steering gearbox and the radio needed to be repaired. Additionally, the wiring was taken apart and cleaned, and reattached after finding a wiring issue. The vehicle was repaired each time, but the failure reoccurred after each repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 45.

I purchased a new 2024 Ram 2500 Laramie in January 2024. In February 2025, the vehicle began experiencing intermittent no-start conditions related to an electrical issue. Over several months, it also developed persistent Uconnect system malfunctions and power-folding side mirrors that would not unfold, creating a serious safety hazard. On July 2, 2025, while driving at highway speed, the driver’s side mirror folded inward on its own and remained loose, flopping in the wind, making it impossible to maintain visibility and lane awareness. Ram’s service department confirmed the part is defective but did not have it in stock when I brought the vehicle in. These issues have made the truck unsafe to drive. Despite multiple repair attempts and the vehicle being out of service for over 30 days cumulatively, the electrical and visibility-related problems remain unresolved. The manufacturer (Stellantis/Ram) has been slow to respond and has not provided a timely solution. I am pursuing Lemon Law arbitration, but the unresolved mirror visibility issue and electrical malfunctions pose an immediate safety concern that may affect other owners.

Hit a bump at approx. 55mph going into a curve while pulling a loaded car trailer. The unstable 4-link rear suspension combined with the air bag suspension system created/allowed/exacerbated trailer sway that caused the trailer to ultimately jack knife into a fence off the highway. This endangered myself and two oncoming cars in the curve. Driver skill and shear dumb luck prevented death to any/all on the road. Poor/unstable rear suspension engineering caused the accident. The air bags did not deploy and I do not recall the seatbelt locking up. Stellantis subcontracted Bosch Automotive Service Solutions (CASE # 91832257) to examine the truck. The inspector could find nothing out of "spec" or alignment, but was able to reproduce and experience like symptoms (and was visibly unsettled) during his test drive. Stellantis, not two days after receiving the Bosch report, denied all responsibility
