The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while the defroster was activated, there was no air flowing to the side windows, causing the glass to become foggy. The failure occurred mostly during rainy days, cold or snowy weather, affecting visibility while driving. The dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 800.

The outside ambient temperature sensor on my 2025 Ram 1500 is fundamentally flawed by design, routinely reading 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than the actual external temperature due to solar soaking inside the driver-side mirror housing. While this appears to be a convenience issue, it creates a direct driver safety hazard. Because this sensor feeds critical ambient data to the vehicle's computer modules, its extreme inaccuracy directly disrupts the automated climate control safety systems. During near-freezing or sudden inclement weather conditions, the vehicle's automated windshield defroster, cabin defogger, and heated side-view mirrors fail to automatically trigger or adjust correctly because the truck falsely believes it is much warmer outside than it actually is. This causes sudden, severe windshield fogging and ice buildup that reduces driver visibility. The manufacturer needs to issue a technical service bulletin, a software recalculation, or a physical sensor relocation kit to resolve this systemic safety defect.

The factory-installed tow mirrors on this vehicle present a severe safety hazard due to a major engineering and ergonomic design flaw. The physical size and placement of the side mirrors are excessively large, creating massive blind spots at the front pillars of the windshield. This completely obstructs the driver's forward-diagonal visibility, creating a "blind wall" effect that fully hides oncoming mid-size sedans, motorcycles, and pedestrians when approaching urban intersections, roundabouts, and crosswalks. This layout is entirely unsuitable for normal daily use and causes extreme driver distress due to near-miss situations. Additionally, the advanced safety electronics housed within these mirrors malfunction constantly. The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) warning lights freeze or lock up on the glass, or the dashboard displays a permanent "Blind Spot System Unavailable" error message shortly after starting the vehicle or deploying the power-folding mirrors. The 360-degree perimeter camera feed also experiences intermittent signal loss. The hardware components are available for inspection upon request. The electrical faults have been confirmed by an authorized dealer but a permanent design fix for the forward visibility hazard is required from the manufacturer.

The components that are malfunctioning is the windshield wipers (won't turn off), and the windshield wiper fluid won't work either, the turn signals (won't turn on), no high beams when this happens, my monitor will say something about no SOS calls, and something about the airbags not working. I've had to remove the fuse for the windshield wipers to stop them from scratching up my windshield when it's not raining, but I have no turn signals still so both not working is a huge safety risk to me and others. I took it to 3 different dealers, Council Bluffs, Iowa, they couldn't find anything and weren't interested unless I was buying a vehicle, then Denver, Co, they had it for like 3 or 4 days, they said because I disconnected the battery they couldn't find any codes, so that was a waste of time, but they did see I needed a transmission flush and oil change, so I ended up driving it back to the dealer I bought this POS from in Killeen, TX, they said it was the SCCM and that it needed to be replaced, so I waited like 4 or 5 days, when they said the vehicle was ready, i went to pick it up, I got like a mile away, and guess what the windshield wipers came on and I had no turn signals. This problem comes and goes, but it can happen at anytime while I'm driving. I bought this RAM in May of this year, this shouldn't be happening. All the dealer could say was sorry this is happening, that's not what any consumer want's to hear especially when it is a serious safety issue. These issues started at the end of July 2025 just over 2 months after I bought the vehicle, and are still currently happening.

The contact stated that the tow mirrors severely reduced visibility of the road, especially on the front passenger's side. The contact stated that the tow mirrors were significantly large in size, which created a large blind spot for oncoming traffic. The contact stated that the height of the tow mirrors, along with the A-pillars, was blocking the visibility of traffic, particularly while making a left turn. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

When the A/C is turned on, air still comes out of the defrost vents, which causes the inside of the windshield to fog up instead of clearing it. This makes it very difficult to see while driving, especially in the morning or when humidity is high. This seems to be a malfunction with the HVAC system. It does not switch airflow correctly between vents, and the cabin fills with moisture instead of being dehumidified. The issue has been happening since I purchased the vehicle brand new. I reported it to the dealer, but they won’t fix it under warranty. This is a serious safety hazard that affects visibility and driving safety. They said it's just normal for it to happen. In 25 years of driving living here my whole life on the coast for 35 years. Nvere had windows frost. The dealership says nothing wrong. Need help.

This vehicle is equipped with trailer tow mirrors and the forward visibility to the left and right while at a stop sign is severely impaired. I have driven dodge trucks with trailer tow mirrors for the last 30 years or more and have never had this problem. I have pulled out numerous time only to find out that there is a car coming, particularly from the right. These mirrors are way too big.

I am describing a potential incident. The tow mirrors are so large on this vehicle that is virtually impossible to determine if cars are coming, especially when making a left turn. They are creating an extreme safety hazard. There are a huge number of people on the internet describing near collisions and paying dealerships huge amounts of money to replace these mirrors.
