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.

VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT AND REPAIR CHRONOLOGY Vehicle: 2025 Ram 1500 eTorque Repair Facility: Champion Dealership Manufacturer: Ram / Stellantis 1. Initial Vehicle Failures — July 12 and August 25–26, 2026 The vehicle experienced repeated failures on July 12 and again on the morning and evening of August 25 and the morning of August 26 towed to Champion. I provided photographs documenting the vehicle’s warning messages and descriptions of the problems that occurred. 2. September 4, 2026 — Problem Identified and Rental Approved On September 4, the dealership informed me that a specialist was coming to inspect the vehicle. Following this evaluation, I was told they had finally identified the problem and would proceed with the repair after the holiday. 3. September 23, 2026 — Additional Testing Requested On September 23, I contacted the dealership to determine whether the vehicle had been repaired. Allowed to pick up September 26th after additional testing completed. October 13, 2026 — Dangerous Failure While Driving On October 13, the truck experienced another serious failure while traveling approximately 75 mph on the highway. The engine shut down while the vehicle was in motion. Once it came back on, warning lights illuminated across the dashboard, and the vehicle entered limp mode. We managed to get the truck home, where it had to be towed.After arriving home, the truck would not shut off normally. It eventually shut down on its own. When we attempted to restart it, the previous warning messages and electronic faults returned, including messages indicating that the vehicle was already in Drive when it was not on at all. This is the initial issues that had occurred. This incident created a serious safety concern because the engine shut down while the vehicle was traveling at highway speed. The truck had been returned to us as repaired approximately 17 days earlier.

My 2025 Rebel is actively stalling at low RPMs and dropping into Auto Park while driving, creating a severe safety hazard. It is also running rough when in idle while parked which leads to a stall.

Vehicle will randomly die (engine completely shuts off) while in operation. The engine shuts off completely, putting the driver and those around them in extreme danger. The vehicle has to be put in park (on the highway) and restarted. There is a class action lawsuit because it is happening to so many people including us and Ram refused to accept responsibility. We have had our truck in the dealership a total of 5 times for the same problem and they have either told us the problem can not be replicated and they can’t do anything or they have fixed random parts but the issue is still occurring. There have been several incidents where a collision could have killed someone. It is not a question of if, it’s a question of when an accident will occur because of this.

On 10/4/26 my 2025 Ram 1500 with less than 15k miles experienced a major electrical/electronic failure. Multiple systems malfunctioned simultaneously while driving at freeway speeds, the vehicle decelerated rapidly, and then it would not shut off. Diagnostic codes included P0335, P0336, P034B, U0901, and U0422, including faults involving communication between vehicle and control models. This is the second significant electrical incident. Previously, electronic components activated abnormally while the vehicle was parking, including lights/wipers, and the battery became discharged even though the battery tested good. This failure left the vehicle completely immobilized approximately 60 miles from home. This malfunction had the potential to cause a collision at highway speeds, and risked the my life and the life of others on the road that day. I am deeply concerned this represents an electrical, software, wiring, or combination of those issues rather than an isolated battery incident.

September 14 ~10AM I was starting from a stop light wen the truck suddenly started surging and the tach showed over 4K RPM, all Gage lights were erratic, it would not accelerate, i lost power steering, and pulled the truck over and did a hard reboot (restart). While that recharged the system I had just exited a treacherous 8 mile very narrow stretch of road between Brookings and Grants Pass Oregon, that has very sharp and blind turns frequented by logging and delivery semi trucks traveling at 30-65 mile per hour depending on the section. If this had happened an hour earlier I'd be dead because there is NO WHERE to pull off. This truck now scares the life (literally) out of me. Took it to get recalls done 9-29-26 and personnel refused to answer any questions or offer help. While there a man with 22 ram diesel came complaining about exact same problems. We talked for over one hour. Now convinced this problem is larger than advertised. Interestingly i got a text asking how i like my Ram @ 10 AM the morning and time of the error. I now wonder about a hacking of the "shut down" codes by other actors. While I purchased a 7 year warranty, that will do me no good when I'm dead from this inferior truck and a corporation that is hiding and clearly refusing necessary repairs. These issues clearly demand a class action lawsuit and cash settlement to buy-back a quality product. 52K for junk truck. Telling how I REALLY FEEL!

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.
