LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
When I test drive the truck it had approximately 20 miles on it. There was a yellow warning light on that indicated there was a trailer attached and the blind spot monitoring was deactivated. The salesman said it was just a glitch and they would get it fixed. I bought the truck a few days later and it had many more miles on it. The warning light was still on and the salesman said he would take it to get repaired while I was finishing the paperwork. After waiting over 3 hours he brought the truck to me. When I got in to drive home the warning light was still on. I asked him and he said they couldn’t gix it but it wasn’t important and I could come back later. I made an appointment for the next Monday. They kept the truck over 12 hours and said the had to order a part but it was safe to drive. Weeks later I brought the truck back and again it was there from open to close and it wasn’t fixed. This time they said it wasn’t safe to drive and I had to leave it there until they could fix it. It wasn’t safe there appropriately 30 days and they called and said they couldn’t fix it and to come and pick it up. The warning light was still on and the blue nd spot monitor still isn’t working. Now it comes on and off randomly and makes a great amount of noise as the alarms go off and on.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
When the A/C is turned on, air still comes out of the defrost vents, which causes the inside of the windshield to fog up instead of clearing it. This makes it very difficult to see while driving, especially in the morning or when humidity is high. This seems to be a malfunction with the HVAC system. It does not switch airflow correctly between vents, and the cabin fills with moisture instead of being dehumidified. The issue has been happening since I purchased the vehicle brand new. I reported it to the dealer, but they won’t fix it under warranty. This is a serious safety hazard that affects visibility and driving safety. They said it's just normal for it to happen. In 25 years of driving living here my whole life on the coast for 35 years. Nvere had windows frost. The dealership says nothing wrong. Need help.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
This vehicle is equipped with trailer tow mirrors and the forward visibility to the left and right while at a stop sign is severely impaired. I have driven dodge trucks with trailer tow mirrors for the last 30 years or more and have never had this problem. I have pulled out numerous time only to find out that there is a car coming, particularly from the right. These mirrors are way too big.

SERVICE BRAKES
The brake pedal goes to the floor when starting the truck. The dealer has confirmed it. It is available for inspection. My safety and others are in possible danger from failing brakes. The dealer has confirmed the problem. The manufacturer has been involved with the dealer. They opened a "star case" that has not resolved the defect. So far, the problem has only affected the truck while starting. The brake light did come on one time while driving. The truck has been in the dealer service for over 40 days with no resolution. The dealer said on the worksheet that they tested other similar trucks on the lot and were able to duplicate the problem in them. The problem started shortly after I took possession of the truck. I was told that it wasn't a problem and it would go away. I now have 5700 miles on it, and it still malfunctions. I took possession of the truck in Sept of 24.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
The instrument cluster panel went blank for over 40 miles, despite us stopping, shutting off and restarting, etc. We had no idea what speed we were going or any of the metrics monitored by the instrument cluster like turn signals, fuel level, engine temperature, etc. No cruise control. We took it to an auto parts store that captured the error code U0155. The RAM app on my Iphone also sent a warning that the blind spot monitoring failed. I will be bringing it to Champion Chrysler Dodge Ram in Lansing, MI, on 7/7/2025 and do not intend to take it back until this problem is resolved. While the instrument cluster panel went back to normal since then, how can I be assured it will not fault again and what safety protocols can I rely upon?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Digital cluster freezes, beeps, goes blank except for check engine lights, and then resets. Turns back on for a few seconds and then repeats the process. Digital cluster will do this non stop. I only have a few brief seconds to see my speed and fuel level before it freezes and goes blank. This is extremely dangerous.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
Multiple warning lights for “Automatic Emergency Braking Unavailable Service Required” along with “Blind Spot Unavailable Service Required” this truck required 4 (four) trips to the dealer to find a resolution. Parts took 50 days to arrive so had to disable these important safety systems and continue driving. Blind spot light on passenger side mirror goes off randomly in heavy rain even after this repair. So while driving in the rain, it’s unreliable. Over 30 other reports of all the above issues on the RAM-RHO forums.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Vehicle: 2025 Ram 1500 RHO (base trim) VIN: [XXX] Build Date: [XXX] Purchase Date: [XXX] Mileage at first occurrence: ≈ 40 miles (issue began immediately after delivery) Mileage now: [insert current mileage] Problem Description The instrument cluster (IPC) repeatedly reboots while driving or upon each key cycle. Every restart forces the odometer to reset and display 40 miles, erasing the accurate accumulated mileage. Simultaneously, the vehicle fails to retain any infotainment or vehicle-settings data (radio presets, climate preferences, drive modes, seat/mirror memory). This occurs 100 % of the time with every ignition cycle and has happened on every drive since purchase. Safety Concern A rebooting cluster distracts the driver, removes access to critical information (speedometer, warning lights), and falsifies odometer readings—potentially masking future maintenance intervals and impairing resale/title accuracy. The loss of settings can also disable previously selected safety aids (e.g., adaptive cruise presets, lane-keep parameters) without the driver’s knowledge. Attempts to Resolve Hard battery reset performed (negative-terminal disconnect, 30 min). Issue returned on first restart. Awaiting dealer appointment; preliminary research indicates similar complaints among early-production 2025 RHO vehicles and a possible IPC/BCM firmware defect. No official recall or TSB acknowledged for my VIN to date. Frequency Every ignition cycle; cluster reboot typically occurs within 30 seconds of start-up or during the first two minutes of driving. Infotainment/vehicle settings never save between cycles. Events & Dates [XXX]: Vehicle delivered; first reboot observed while exiting dealership lot. 06/29/2025–present: Issue persists on every drive. Requested Action Investigation into potential defective IPC/BCM firmware or hardware causing repeated reboots and odometer data loss on 2025 Ram 1500 RHO models built in April 2025.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I was parked and attempted to leave and put my truck on drive. The shifter known would not go into drive mode. I kept getting an error code to “Service Shifter” after multiple attempts the truck went inky drive mode and I drove home with the error code to “Service Shifter”. When I arrived home to back into my drive way, the truck would not go into reverse. I sat in the middle of the street for an hour before the shifter released into reverse with the same error code. I drove the truck to the dealership where it was purchased and was advised not to drive the truck due to the danger of the shifter and the truck could possibly stay on drive/reverse mode when driving. My truck had been at the dealership for 15 days and I have been told that the shifter has been replaced 3 times, and the electrical relay is not responding. I am told that the Ram specialists are trying to determine what the problem is and have been contacted and can connect to my trucks electrical system. I was told that a Transmission Control Module is being ordered for replacement. The Service Dept Manager stated that this is a new problem with the 2025 Dodge Ram and ALL the Ram Specialists are baffled.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I purchased this new vehicle on the morning of Saturday, June 14, 2025. At the time of purchase the vehicle had just 25 miles on it. The drive home from the dealership was about 87 miles. A few miles from home, the truck began to shake violently when the gas pedal was pressed. The engine or transmission light was on. The faster the truck went, the harder it would shake. The shaking stopped when there was no pressure on the gas pedal. The shaking was so severe that it was very difficult to drive over 30 mph. I called my salesman and he recommended that I try to “reset” the vehicle by stepping away from the vehicle so it cannot link with the FAB for 10-15 minutes. I did so and came back. The truck started fine but it was shaking while idling. There was no difference driving the truck after the “reset”. It would still shake severely when the gas pedal was pressed. We also discovered that the ring around the Start/Stop button was loose. A tow truck to picked up this vehicle on the same day it was purchased and towed it back to the dealership. The dealer had the truck from Saturday, June14, 2025 and they returned it on Wednesday, June 18, 2025, stating there was a "circuit pin" that was broken. The very next day on Thursday, June 19, 2025, the check engine light came on. Pressing the brake pedal made an odd sound, like bubbles or a gargling noise, even while idling. This noise was not there before. While driving the vehicle, the shaking was very mild but the truck shifted hard. Once, when I was accelerating, there was a loud “pop” that occurred in the truck. Immediately, the dash displayed “See User Manual for Proper Oil and Fuel” and it never went off. After the pop, the truck had a very hard time increasing speed. When I drove off from a stop sign or after I was stopped at a traffic light, the engine would rev high, 3000 – 5000 RPM, and the truck would not move for a few seconds. Then it would very slowly increase speed.

ENGINE
At 1400 miles the truck was running and I put the truck in reverse and the engine light came on and the truck died. The truck started back up but the engine light stayed on. The engine light was for random cylinder Miss fire p0300. And about once a week of so the engine light will come on for a day is so and go off. Since this has happened the fuel milage has been affected. Also sometimes when truck drops into passing gear it will have loss of power and lights and bell will start flashing on the dash. And says high coolant temp and high engine temp even while being full of coolant.

STEERING
Purchased this Ram 1500 Tradesman 04/14/2025. Upon highway driving noticed a severe pull to the right at speed 70 mph. Called dealer to explain the problem and they suggested an alignment that was done on 05/01/2025. Dealer said numbers were green alignment was good. I did highway test again same problem pulling to right. Returned to dealer at 618 miles 05/07/2025 for reset electronic power steering module TSB 08 093 25. Problem still there. At 900 miles and 1500 miles truck was at 2 different dealers for alignments. Problem still there. From what I’ve been told there’s no service bulletin from Ram that addresses problem.This truck is a true disaster waiting to happen. After 52 years of driving I never drove a vehicle this hard to control.After reading Ram forums about this issue I know I’m not the only driver who has this problem. Just hope this issue is resolved before someone gets seriously injured or worse. Need someone from Stellantis or Ram to investigate this NOW!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I am leasing a 2025 Ram 1500 Bighorn from Stellantis. In the less than a year I have owned this it has been to 2 dealerships over 5 times. I hired Handy Law Offices to file a lemon claim . Stellantis was supposed to respond by May 26 and here it is June 9 and they still refuse to acknowledge the problems. And to top it off, I found a positive wire with a split open covering and Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac Wisconsin refuses to fix it, even though they sold me the truck. In talking to other dealerships, this is a shorting hazard and possible fire, but they said Summit has to fix it. I want to know what legal avenues I have to get rid of this truck. I have learned that more and more of this year truck is also experiencing bad problems that Stellantis refuses to acknowledge. And if my truck catches fire there will be additional lawsuits for negligence against Summit Automotive.
