When driving the Anti lock brakes, cruise control, front and rear collision warning system, automatic emergency breaking system and lane keeping system are disabled. All of these alerts are displayed on the display cluster. All of these systems are disabled at the same time. I was told by the dealership that this is caused by a faulty Wheel Speed Sensor. The Wheel Speed Sensors have been replaced 3 times and have not fixed this problem. This has happened when towing a 14,000lbs trailer and the stability of the truck and load are compromised when breaking with a load.

I have been submitting reports to you for several months with no resolution. The truck yet again experienced the same problem, twice, within 1 week. It would start but then claim that it couldn't detect what gear it was in and said "can't shut off until transmission is in park". After cutting electrical power to get it to shut off, it would not start. After getting it started, it would not go into gear. Once I got the engine running and transmission to go into gear, it no longer had ABS.

The 2025 and 2026 dually 3500 Ram trucks with the 12" AAM rear axle are having issues with the rear wheel speed sensors (different sensor for each side). They apparently fail or are not able to properly communicate to the computer. When this happens, the following are disabled: -ABS -Auto Emergency Braking -4x4 -Electronic Stability Control -Cruise Sometimes, the engine won't shut off. The gauge cluster will state it can't detect which position the transmission is in. So, you cannot shift, and you can't shut the truck off, and you can't drive. You are stuck in place with a running engine. Despite Stellantis releasing a new revision of wheel speed sensors (AB revision), they have failed in less than 2,000 miles on my truck. Many, many dually owners are experiencing these failures.

Recall 26V‑059 Brake lights and brakes don’t work sometimes. Dealer has no parts. Will not tell me when parts are coming. This is a serious issue and I need it fixed. It should not take this long.

Trailer Brake Module recall was completed. Now getting random error messages and lights advising trailer disconnected, etc. even without a trailer being hooked to the truck.

Filed Apr 8, 2026 · Brakes · TN

I received notification of a safety recall on my 2025 Ram 3500 (the federal safety agency Recall Number26V-059) which affects the trailer lights and braking system. I contacted my dealership to schedule the repair and was told that it would be about 6+ months before they could get to me. The dealership has 30+ trucks on their lot, and the manufacturer is only allowing them to order 1 replacement part per week, so they aren't fixing sold trucks until those 30+ unsold trucks are fixed, which will take 30+ weeks. I'm submitting this online complaint because I tow a large trailer regularly and I don't feel that 6+ months is an appropriate time period for fixing a recall and I don't think that fixing unsold trucks should take priority over fixing trucks that are actively being driven every day.

While driving down the street between 0 and 35 mph, with no load in the truck and no trailer attached, the trailer brake controller quite working completely and a service message appeared. The dealership ended up replacing the trailer brake gain adjustment switch. Had I been towing a trailer at the time, I would have had zero trailer brakes. I've had this message reappear several times since then. I've attached a picture showing both the message on the gauge cluster as well as a scan of the trouble codes at that time.

After the 2nd time at the dealership, the sensors only last less than 23 miles.
