Electrical System · reported Nov 11, 2026
I bought my truck from Lithia Jeep Dodge Ram in Missoula, Montana back in April of 2026. I knew of the existing recall, but was told there were no parts available. Since then, I have taken my truck in 2 separate times for oil changes and what not. Both times I asked if the 03D recall could be repaired, and both times, I was informed the dealership does not have parts because they have to prioritize the parts for new vehicles to be sold instead of fixing vehicles that are already sold. I've been in a few situations already where I have no option but to tow something with my truck but, because…
Electrical System · reported Nov 9, 2026
While driving the truck I was coming to the stoplight and slowing down in the vehicle completely died. All the instrument panel went completely black so I stopped restarted it and went approximately one and a quarter miles and it did it again while I was stopping. Both times the vehicle restarted fine and drove. The mileage was approximately 26,520. And it happened on 11-8-2026 at approximately 12:37 PM.
Structure · reported Nov 5, 2026
I started having problems almost immediately. The screen would turn blue. The radio would come on in another language. Then came the body-panel issues, water intrusion, vibration, steering and suspension concerns, the truck going into four-wheel drive without me commanding it, noises during turns and acceleration, the steering wheel pulling, problems with the instrument cluster, Uconnect messages and repeated electronic issues. The body panels kept shifting. Eventually they began contacting each other and damaging themselves. The mileage intervals between required body panel re-alignments…
Electrical System · reported Nov 5, 2026
Audio system malfunction, EXTREME loud static emitted in cabin. No volume, track, source selections on any controls stopped it. Turning off center console display was the only solution. Completely random, extremely jarring. Would be equivalent to an airhorn in the cabin. Louder than the radio. Traumatic, passengers in car were shaken up, even causing my mother to cry and my wife to not want to ride in the vehicle afterwards. Occurred twice. Dealer blew it off the first time. Second time they think they found a loose connector for internal audio amplifier. Has been silent until recently started…

The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at night with her spouse, the check engine warning light illuminated, the vehicle experienced a loss of motive power, and the engine required approximately 15 minutes to shut off. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on several occasions for recall remedies and software updates; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated again, and during ignition startup, the vehicle jerked, revved, and exhibited hesitation. The contact stated that the flex fuel system experienced an…
