NHTSA complaint #11624580, filed 2024-11“I purchased a new 2024 Ram 2500 Laramie in January 2024. In February 2025, the vehicle began experiencing intermittent no-start conditions related to an electrical issue. Over several months, it also developed persistent Uconnect system malfunctions and power-folding side mirrors that would not unfold, creating a serious safety hazard.

NHTSA complaint #11675436, filed 2025-07“Description of the Issue: When full windshield defrost is selected—using either the infotainment system or physical HVAC controls—the system does not direct full airflow to the windshield.
