I purchased the Vehicle in April 2025 with 500 miles as NEW. Within 3k miles, I had the AEB and “BLIND Spot warning unavailable “ both service required messages come on the vehicle. The Hazards stay on the side mirrors while driving, which make it dangerous also believing you have vehicles in your blind spot creating a safe hazard and also beeps at times. This continued to happen constantly. I was told at first presentation that there was an internal TBS(bulletin) with FCA and there was no fix. Then at 4k miles, it happened again. I took it back, they did a software update. It continued to happen. 6k miles, more software updates. A wiring harness was replaced. It is still happening for both. At 10k miles. After software updates, wiring harness update. It continues to happen.

My infotainment screen makes a loud buzzing noise at least 3days per week, and then it shuts down and reboots itself, this happened several times while backing out of parking spots and I lost my rear view camera, also sometimes while driving on the Highway both of my blind spot monitor lights on my mirrors will come on and my truck will display BMS malfunction and this stops my adaptive Cruise and hands free Cruise while driving on Highway at 65mph or higher. I've taken in to the dealership and they say they can't reproduce the problem with the buzzing coming from The infotainment system, and the Blindspot Monitoring System will self correct after my vehicle sits overnight, but my RAM documents the BMS and sends me an alert to take into dealership for service, but once again the dealerships say they can't replicate the issue with the bms.

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V059000 (Exterior Lighting, Electrical System); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH on the driveway and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floorboard, and the vehicle failed to respond as intended, causing the braking distance to be extended. The brake warning light was consistently illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part was not yet available because only one part could be ordered every 7 days. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

The Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) has failed and is no longer operational. The system icon on the instrument cluster is illuminated, indicating the feature is disabled. Prior to full failure, the vehicle experienced multiple dangerous events including unexpected and unintended braking at freeway speeds, creating hazardous driving conditions and requiring immediate steering correction to avoid potential collisions. The initial issue began with a loss of steering assist, which was reported. Since then, the condition has escalated. The ADAS system is now completely non-functional, and the vehicle continues to present ongoing safety risks. These failures occur during regular highway operation. I drive approximately 100 miles per day, significantly increasing exposure to these hazards. The unpredictable braking and prior steering issues create a serious risk of accident, injury, or loss of control. This issue has been ongoing for nearly four months since the initial complaint, with no permanent resolution. The vehicle is unsafe to operate under normal conditions.

Vehicle is shifting it self to park while driving and your truck will lock up in traffic, digital instrument. Cluster will go black then come back saying restart required before you can start driving and get out of harms way. Digital cluster will flash while driving causing the turn signals to malfunction and you can not see how fast you are going. It is also causing the transmission to get stuck in the current gear it is in not allowing for acceleration. You have to turn truck on and off to get the transmission to shift. Purchased truck in feb and has been at dealer for this issue to know repair 3 times now. There is finally a recall explaining exactly what is going on with my truck yet my vin is not included I have been telling Chrysler this is a major safety issue I have almost been in several major accidents because of this!

4-14-2026 3:25pm Temp 70 degrees. Dry pavement. I was approaching a red stoplight at 50mph. I pressed on the brake pedal but the brakes didn’t seem to be working well. I was slowing down but not like normal. I pressed harder. I heard the truck getting louder inside the cabin. The truck was not braking well at all. It was slowing down but it was not stopping. Alarmed, I pressed even harder on the brake pedal. I heard my tires squealing over the other loudness coming from the truck. Smoke came from my tires. I managed to finally get the truck stopped my switching the gear selector out of Drive. I pressed the Stop button to stop the engine. I turned the truck back on. The “loudness” I had heard earlier returned. The truck was still stopped and in Park with my foot still on the brake pedal. The tachometer on the truck was at just over 4000 RPM - far above normal idle of ~1000 RPM. The engine had been revving trying to drive the truck forward even though I had my foot off the gas and on the brake!
