There are 3 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2025 Ram 3500in NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
I received notification of a safety recall on my 2025 Ram 3500 (NHTSA Recall Number26V-059) which affects the trailer lights and braking system. I contacted my dealership to schedule the repair and was told that it would be about 6+ months before they could get to me. The dealership has 30+ trucks on their lot, and the manufacturer is only allowing them to order 1 replacement part per week, so they aren't fixing sold trucks until those 30+ unsold trucks are fixed, which will take 30+ weeks. I'm submitting this online complaint because I tow a large trailer regularly and I don't feel that 6+ months is an appropriate time period for fixing a recall and I don't think that fixing unsold trucks should take priority over fixing trucks that are actively being driven every day.
Multiple times at random the vehicle will display an alert on the dash that the 4X4 system, anti lock breaks, adaptive breaking as well as forward and rear collision sensors and cruise control are all disabled. This has happened 5 times now. I have taken the vehicle into the dealership and they stated that the rear Wheel Speed Sensors" were bad and replaced them. Since the wheel sensors have been replaced ( less than 200 miles ago) this system has triggered the same alert and conditions 2 more times. This is a very dangerous situation for a vehicle that is made for towing heavy trailers and loads.
The warning lights on the dashboard come on when driving. ABS, VSC, 4WD, automatic emergency braking etc. are all shut down when this happens. The lights may stay on for a few days or turn off at the next restart with only a check engine light remaining on. It has been back to two different the Ram dealer for repairs 4 times for this issue. Starting out on 04/25/2025 at 419 miles, the last time was 12/22/2025 at 3,677 miles. They have replaced several sensors and updated the computer several times, yet the problem still persists. It may be fine for several hundred miles or it may happen several times in one hundred miles. At this point the dealer doesn't seem to know what more to do.
