Audio system malfunction, EXTREME loud static emitted in cabin. No volume, track, source selections on any controls stopped it. Turning off center console display was the only solution. Completely random, extremely jarring. Would be equivalent to an airhorn in the cabin. Louder than the radio. Traumatic, passengers in car were shaken up, even causing my mother to cry and my wife to not want to ride in the vehicle afterwards. Occurred twice. Dealer blew it off the first time. Second time they think they found a loose connector for internal audio amplifier. Has been silent until recently started 'chirping' the loud noise, but not sustained just a quick intermittent static pop. Terrified to drive. I can provide dashcam video with audio of the second instance.

I started having problems almost immediately. The screen would turn blue. The radio would come on in another language. Then came the body-panel issues, water intrusion, vibration, steering and suspension concerns, the truck going into four-wheel drive without me commanding it, noises during turns and acceleration, the steering wheel pulling, problems with the instrument cluster, Uconnect messages and repeated electronic issues. The body panels kept shifting. Eventually they began contacting each other and damaging themselves. The mileage intervals between required body panel re-alignments progressively collapsed over time—from 8,886 miles to 12,522 mi to 13,804 mi and then 14,030 mi. At one point it locked into four-wheel drive while we were driving and had to be towed. I sent information I had found while researching issues involving trucks manufactured during the same timeframe. They dismissed it and then torqued the frame bolts to OEM specification, but despite my requests, I was never provided documentation showing that the frame or structure had actually been measured first. After this most recent repair, I grounded the vehicle at the dealership and started putting the records together. I obtained concealed Inv's showing my vehicle identified as non-conformant 15 months earlier. I started comparing that documentation with what I had been told and what appeared on other repair records. I found pre-purchase documents, including multiple concealed pre-sale electrical repair records and Safety Recall 97B (the federal safety agency Campaign 24V‑794) labeled on consumer facing documents as "brakes". I am recovering from cervical spine surgery and have experienced significant symptoms my doctors could not explain, yet my medical documentation repeatedly stated symptoms were worse while driving. whole-body vibration has been confirmed by my doctor as matching my unusual symptoms. And a manufacturer field technician who performed an unapproved software flash while the vehicle is grounded.

**2025 Ram 1500 Warlock – Complete Electrical Shutdown During Automatic Start/Stop Restart** My 2025 Ram 1500 Warlock, equipped with the 3.0L Hurricane twin-turbo engine, has approximately 22,000 miles and is experiencing a serious safety-related malfunction involving the automatic start/stop system. When stopped at a traffic light or intersection, the automatic start/stop system shuts the engine off as designed. While my foot remains on the brake, the vehicle's electrical systems continue operating normally. However, when I release the brake to accelerate, the engine does not attempt to restart. Instead, the vehicle experiences a complete electrical shutdown, including the instrument cluster, infotainment system, and interior lighting. The transmission automatically shifts into Park, and the electronic parking brake engages. The vehicle remains shut down until I manually press the engine Start button. It then starts normally. There are no check engine lights, warning messages, or other indications of a problem before or after the failure. This malfunction creates a significant collision hazard because the vehicle becomes unexpectedly immobilized at intersections when traffic begins moving. Following drivers may reasonably expect the vehicle to accelerate when the traffic signal turns green. At approximately 1,000 miles, the vehicle previously displayed a battery-not-charging warning. An authorized Ram dealership replaced the auxiliary battery under warranty, and the warning disappeared. The automatic start/stop system operated normally more recently, but this shutdown malfunction has since developed without any known changes to the vehicle immediately preceding the failures. I am concerned that this condition could result in a rear-end collision or leave the vehicle immobilized in an active traffic lane. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate whether this is a safety-related defect affecting 2025 Ram 1500 vehicles equipped with the 3.0L Hurricane engine.

The truck shifts to park on its own. It happens when slowly coming to a stop or when stopped for some particular reason. It has happened several times. It has been taken to the dealer but problem still persist.

I am filing a serious safety complaint regarding my 2025 Ram truck, which has fewer than 40,000 miles, has already had TWO RECALLS, and has experienced repeated electrical failures requiring multiple dealership visits. The truck recently failed to start entirely and is currently at the dealership with no diagnosis or repair timeline. Previous repairs also remain incomplete due to unavailable parts. Our neighbor owns the same year and model Ram and is experiencing similar electrical problems. This raises serious concerns about a potential widespread manufacturing defect. I no longer feel this vehicle is safe or reliable to operate. The dealership's failure to properly diagnose and resolve these recurring issues is unacceptable. I strongly urge the federal safety agency to investigate these electrical failures, review related recalls, and determine whether these vehicles pose a safety risk to drivers and the public before someone gets seriously hurt.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? PCM, Auto Start-Stop System (based on what I was told by the RAM dealership and paperwork) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When coming to a complete stop at an intersection, the vehicle stalled and shut down entirely, and the vehicle automatically shifted to park. Vehicle was able to be restarted only after pressing the brake, pressing the ignition button, and manually shifting into drive. This could have caused a collision if I was in stop-and-go traffic in a busier area, because I did not know how to respond to the vehicle randomly stalling to begin with. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. RAM dealership was able to replicate. Service advisor told me there was a Technical Service Bulletin released on 10/6/26 that addressed vehicle stalling due to the PCM and auto start-stop system. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No. This has only been inspected by Academy Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Tipton, IN Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to failure. After the third time the vehicle stalled, the check engine light illuminated. This vehicle was then towed to the dealership for inspection.
