2025 Ram 1500 brakes problems

Filed Oct 31, 2026 · Brakes · VA

While operating my 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel in reverse to back out of a parking space, the brakes suddenly and completely failed. The brake pedal traveled entirely to the floorboards with zero normal resistance. The vehicle retained an estimated 3% or less of total braking power, barely and very slowly bringing the truck to a stop. Had this catastrophic mechanical failure occurred at highway speeds or exiting a freeway, it would have resulted in a high-speed, potentially fatal collision. Upon inspecting the driver-side footwell immediately following the incident, I discovered the brake pedal arm had physically disconnected from the booster rod mechanism, and a metal retaining C-clip had popped off. The vehicle was completely disabled and flatbed towed to a Ram dealership. Video evidence of the disconnected pedal assembly in the footwell is attached to this report.

The brakes failed suddenly without warning on XXX. The vehicle was towed to Daytona Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram in [XXX], where it was purchased new on XXX. The dealer diagnosed and replaced the ABS Module, but still got faults. They then diagnosed and replaced the Brake Booster, but testing showed that the replacement Booster was leaking, so it was replaced again. After the second booster was installed, a leak was discovered in the Master Cylinder, which they say must now be replaced. The vehicle has been in the repair shop for 28 consecutive days, and three attempts to repair it have failed. When the brake failure first occurred on XXX, multiple warning lights illuminated - 6 or 7 - and messages to service the brakes and other components were displayed on subsequent start up. There were no indications at all prior to the failure. In fact, the vehicle had recently returned from a 2,800 mile trip with no problems at all. The vehicle has 19,060 miles on the odometer. I now have zero confidence that the brakes will be safe. Luckily this occurred in a parking lot where I was able to safely deal with it. Had this happened during the recent long trip, my wife and I (I'm [XXX] and she is [XXX]) would have been stranded somewhere far from home. Had it occurred while driving at highway speed on XXX in heavy traffic, it could have been disastrous for me and my wife, and also other motorists. I contacted FCA US LLC and the Customer Service Rep assigned Case# XXX. I have requested printouts of all diagnostics, repair attempts, and repairs from Daytona Dodge.

While going through an automatic car wash with the engine running, the transmission in Neutral, and my foot off the brake, my truck suddenly shifted into Park and shut off. When I tried to restart it, the display showed "Key Fob Not Detected," even though the fob was in my hand. It took several attempts before the truck restarted. Fortunately, the vehicle behind me did not hit me. This happened three more times before I made it out of the wash. I have since disabled the Engine Stop-Start feature and tried again, with the same result. The truck continues to shift into Park and shut off at random while in a car wash. This is a safety concern, and I would like it diagnosed and repaired.

While operating the vehicle in heavy traffic (stop and go) conditions at about 10 mph the vehicle displayed an error message (STOP START RESET REQUIRED) shifted itself from DRIVE to PARK and applied the PARKING BRAKE uncommanded. Note that the auto stop start was in the ON position for several occurrences, but even with the automatic stop/start OFF the same anomaly occurred. These events happened during rush hour traffic on I95 in the express lanes as well as inside of an automatic car wash and during that instance it resulted on another vehicle striking mine from behind. To get the vehicle to move again required me to STOP the engine, switch to PARK, RESTART the engine and release the already applied parking brake.

My RAM vehicle has several open safety recalls. For more than six months, I have repeatedly contacted my local authorized RAM dealership (Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram FIAT of Winter Haven, Address: [XXX], Phone: [XXX]) to have these safety recalls completed. The dealership has advised me that the required recall parts are unavailable and therefore they cannot perform the repairs. I also contacted RAM/Mopar customer service directly for assistance in obtaining the recall repairs and scheduling an appointment. RAM/Mopar has been unable to provide a definite date when the required parts will become available or when the safety recall repairs can be completed. I am concerned that I have been required to continue operating a vehicle with known safety recalls for more than six months without a clear repair date or an available remedy. I am requesting the federal safety agency's assistance in reviewing this matter and determining whether RAM/Stellantis is meeting its obligations to provide the required safety-recall remedies within a reasonable time.

The dealer replaced the brake tow module the end of June and I was still getting trailer warning lights afterwards and took it back to the dealer and they said everything is fine found no problems that it was possible the trailer hitch was sticking out to far and maybe the sensors were randomly picking up the trailer hitch so I have been driving with no trailer connected and sensors turned off and still getting a trailer warning light on the dash as being connected. I have an Curt 51180 Brake controller I had used on 3 different trailers before the module was changed and I went to pick up my trailer this past weekend and my Curt brake controller will not operate and unable to program it as says trailer disconnected.
