“I was driving at around 40mph, my vehicle turned off with all the lights in the dashboard being turned on. I had no power steering or breaks in my vehicle.

“Brand new 2025 Ram 1500 Bighorn/Lonestar purchased on 10/24/24. From day 1 it pulls to the right at highways speeds. The dealer has tried to fix the issue with alignment two times, but not luck, they don’t know what is wrong because all the numbers in alignment are green and good. There are several online posts that are talking about this issue with the 2025 Ram 1500s. Also in regard to my truck greeting light feature, the service advisisor said the technician claims it is not a feature on the Bighorn/Lonestar trims, but I believe it is. …”

“Vehicle constantly pulls to the right. I thought it was an alignment issue so i took it to the dealer for an alignment, they adjusted one parameter then gave me the alignment report showing that it's all fine. When i complained it still pulls to the right they took it in for a second service. That service the reprogrammed the steering module which is different from the prior model year. This made zero difference and the car still pulls to the right. It is annoying below 60 MPH where it essentially nudges you to the right and dangerous above 70MPH. …”

“I just bought a new Ram Rebel X 2025 in September. I have 7K miles and the front tires are shot due to factory misalignment! Local dealership South Hills Dodge is ZERO HELP. I opened a case with RAM. They said…“You have to drop off your truck at the dealership before we can escalate your case to a case manager”. My truck has been sitting outside the dealership since I dropped it off on Monday 4-27 and hasn’t moved!! The dealership initially said they would cover an alignment under warranty free of charge but not cover 2 new tires which were caused by the misalignment. …”
