“battery drains completely dead and will not take a charge. I bought this vehicle just under 1 year ago and 3 batteries main batteries have had to be be replaced, and 2 secondary batteries. Something is draining and killing the batteries and the dealership cannot find the cause. This has left me stranded without a vehicle 3 times in less than a year.”

NHTSA complaint #11717665, filed 2026-02

“When I receive an alert for approaching emergency vehicle EVAS (Emergency Vehicle Alert System) powered by HAAS, the audio is completely muted on my radio and the only way to fix it is to manually reset the radio, which requires digging into the menu, taking eyes off the road, it's the opposite of safe. My audio will not work after receiving one of these alerts until the radio is reset.”

“There was a recall for the cluster pack on the screen that shows my speedometer and safety features such a lane departure, turn signals, etc. I had the recall completed and my screen still blacks out randomly. It has been in the shop 3 times to fix the screen, but Ram cannot get it fixed. I have multiple pictures and videos of the screen blacking out if anyone is interested I can email them.”

“Digital cluster freezes, beeps, goes blank except for check engine lights, and then resets. Turns back on for a few seconds and then repeats the process. Digital cluster will do this non stop. I only have a few brief seconds to see my speed and fuel level before it freezes and goes blank. This is extremely dangerous.”

NHTSA complaint #11670484, filed 2025-07

“Received notice of recall 03D via Ram trucks mobile app. Called my local dealership to schedule the truck in for the recall. I was told “there are no parts available at this time to satisfy the recall” and that the dealership has over 400 vehicles currently on a wait list for parts.”
