I'm having the issues related to recall 35D. My VIN apparently isn't on the list and it's very frustrating. I've had the associated false errors several times now and has put me into dangerous situations when pulling over on expressway thinking I'm having issues. Was glad to see this recall come out but frustrated my truck wasn't on the list. Dealer, FCA RAM recall team were useless when talking to them since I'm not on the list. Please help.

Rear passenger seatbelt behind driver's seat detached from the vehicle. My daughter was riding in the seat with the seatbelt fastened and it suddenly releases. She thought it had become unbuckled somehow, but it actually it had separated from the vehicle where it should have been bolted into place. There were no warning signs if impending failure. My daughter's life was put at risk if there had been an accident or I had to stop abrubtly. The vehicle is in for repairs now. I am having them inspect all seat belts in the vehicle. I have very little confidence concerning my safety and that of my passengers.

The vehicle is a 2025 Ram 1500 with an active safety recall related to the trailer light connection/wiring system. The issue causes warnings indicating trailer light malfunction and affects proper trailer light operation. This is a significant safety concern because I regularly tow trailers, and improper trailer lighting creates a risk for accidents, especially at night or during braking and signaling. The recall has been confirmed by the dealer, however, the dealer has stated that parts are not available and cannot provide a timeline for repair. It has been over a month with no resolution. No repair has been performed, and the issue remains unresolved. Warning messages related to trailer connection and lighting have appeared. This directly impacts the safe operation of the vehicle and my ability to tow for work purposes. The manufacturer has not provided a timely remedy for this safety recall.

Defect Description for NHTSA Complaint Intermittent but recurring failure of the Uconnect infotainment system and rearview backup camera on a 2025 Ram 1500. The defect occurs at vehicle startup and when shifting the transmission into reverse. Symptoms include: (1) the center console display freezes and becomes unresponsive; (2) the rearview backup camera fails to display an image when reverse is selected, eliminating rear visibility required under FMVSS 111; (3) audio output cuts out completely; and (4) a loud electronic buzzing noise is frequently emitted from the dash or speakers during the failure. This is a safety-related defect because the rearview camera is inoperative at the exact moment it is federally required to function — when the driver shifts into reverse — creating a rear visibility hazard and increasing the risk of a backover incident involving pedestrians, children, or obstacles. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized Ram dealer multiple times for this issue. The dealer previously replaced the center console display/head unit under warranty, but the defect has returned and continues to occur, indicating the root cause was not the display itself. The persistence of the failure after a hardware replacement suggests a systemic issue — likely related to Uconnect software, the CAN bus communication network, a wiring harness or ground fault, or another vehicle module — rather than an isolated component failure. No crash, injury, or fire has resulted, but the loss of the backup camera at the moment of reverse engagement presents an ongoing safety risk during every use of the vehicle.

Our 2025 Ram 1500 is subject to a safety recall involving the trailer brake system. The dealer confirmed that the defect may cause trailer brakes and trailer lighting to fail. We were advised that there is currently no repair available and that parts may not be available for up to a year. Because of this defect, we are unable to safely tow our travel trailer, which is a primary intended use of the vehicle. This creates a significant safety concern, as failure of trailer brakes could result in loss of control while towing. The issue has been confirmed by an authorized dealer. No repair has been performed because a remedy is not yet available. The condition is ongoing.
