In September of 2025, soon after purchasing my RAM, I had to use the front defrost. When the defrost/heater got hot, the touchscreen was inaccessible. I could hear the radio and heater fan, but I could not control any function as the touchscreen was completely black. Once it cooled down everything worked fine. It did it all winter when using the heat and it did it this summer daily when the cab got hot from sitting with windows cracked open at my work place. I am concerned that if it gets too hot, it may catch fire. It is hot to the touch when it happens. I have not asked my dealer about it as Iâm on a waiting list for another recall repair There are no warning lights or alarms associated…

Ever since this truck was brand new the brakes have been very soft. You have to really push down far into the pedal to get this vehicle to stop. It is a hazard and itâs been that way since New furthermore, on the forums there are so many people that have the same complaint the dealership is telling all of us that itâs normal. It is definitely a safety hazard. I am a retired California Highway Patrol officer who is very familiar with vehicle dynamics and on these forums, I have found maybe 10% of people on here say their brakes work fine 90% of the people say all of the same things that these brakes are dangerous Also, the steering on these vehicles is very loose. There is play in the…

275/70 R18 - RAM installs these tires on their 2500 models. The tires are prone to hydroplaning, sidewall issues, and belt separation. These tires are unsafe for the loads in which RAM Heavy Duty trucks are towing/hauling. RAM is choosing to equip these Heavy Duty trucks with unsafe tires even though customers are complaining to RAM. RAM refuses to acknowledge the quality of the tire is not suitable for the purpose of the truck.

My driver side rear tire blew out on my new 26 Ram 2500, with approximately 6500 miles on it. Yes, it's available for inspection. The sidewall blew out violently throwing rubber across 3 lanes just after reaching speed limit of 65 MPH with moderate traffic I had just fueled, approx. 3/4 of a mile back @ exit 30 on the westbound [XXX] just east of [XXX], checked tires, while our wives had walked across parking lot for lunch. My Dealer looked at the tire (service writer) then he brought out the (I think shop Forman) both said We don't warranty tires!!! Also, Big Brand Tire Service looked at it, and ordered a replacement tire, there is no damage to the tread surface, or any damage internally…

One month old truck, 2026 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4X4 Lone Star with 12" Uconnect system. The Uconnect system automatically selects a side view of the truck depending on which side your turning and turn signals are activated to. The issue is that at night the screen view is too bright when the camera comes on, essentially blinding the driver. It is hard to see what is on front when the screen is on in camera view. While the feature can be disabled, it defeats the purpose of having a Blind Spot camera view to increase occupant safety. Another issue which also deals with the Uconnect system is the backup camera view on the 12" display. The view is stacked side by side and the rear image is very…

I bought my 2026 RAM in Sept 2025. RAM knew about the recall but didnât announce it until Feb 26. I found that out after I purchased it. The trailer brake module is faulty as you know. I bought it to replace my 2017 RAM that also had an unrepaired recall. I have a camper I would like to use but I am afraid to pull it. I call every week to check availability of parts. So far nothing. The vehicle also had a radio/entertains screen issue, which was fixed, but is having issues again as it doesnât turn of when exiting the vehicle after shutting the truck off. Now I see it has another recall. I found this totally unacceptable. I would trade it or sell but cannot due to being so far upside…
