My Vehicle is a 2026 Ram 2500 Laramie Diesel built in February 2026. Since June 2026, the vehicle has experienced a recurring, catastrophic failure of the Trailer Tow Module mid-tow, resulting in a sudden and complete loss of all trailer turn signals, trailer brake lights, and the integrated dashboard trailer brake controller. This leaves my 17-foot commercial food trailer completely without electric brakes or safety lighting while driving, creating an extreme safety hazard. The symptoms are 100% identical to...

active Stellantis Recall 03D (NHTSA Campaign Number 26V-059). However, because my vehicle's build date falls just outside the current recall window, the dealership cannot simply replace the part. Instead, they are forced to run repetitive diagnostic tests. We have been running these identical diagnostic loops since June with zero improvement. The dealership's hands are tied by the VIN system, but common sense dictates that these tests keep leading right back to the exact same manufacturing defect detailed in the recall. NHTSA needs to investigate and force Stellantis to update and expand the 26V-059 recall parameters to include later 2026 build dates so dealerships can immediately repair this known hardware failure without wasting months in diagnostic loops.

2024 Ram Ram 2500 Regular CabOther & unknown

Problem statement: On a routine errand, in a public parking lot the vehicle would not start. The indication was the starter was the concern as the battery voltage was good (12.6V but only dropped to 12.2V when engaging the keyless start button). Jump start with external battery box had no effect. Hand manipulating the harness at the starter had no effect. Lightly tapping on the starter with a wrench had no effect. Battery terminals were exceptionally clean with no corrosion and were tight. Stellantis provided a...

tow at zero cost. Burdick Ram confirmed the issue and performed the repair. The RO stated a washer at the connector on the starter solenoid had shorted to ground. I was pleased with the response of Stellantis and Burdick and was happy with the fix. There have been no further issues in the two weeks since. There was no safety risk as it was safely off the road in a parking lot. There were no warning lights or further indications of the concern other than the incident of no-start itself.

2025 Ram Ram 2500 Regular CabElectrical system

The SOS emergency-assistance system in my 2025 RAM 2500 remains inoperative despite repeated dealer repair attempts. Previously, pressing SOS produced no response. It now illuminates green and displays an active call/timer, but there is no ringing, recorded message, operator response or two-way audio. Ordinary radio and Bluetooth call audio work. The apparent active call could falsely reassure occupants that help is being contacted, delaying emergency assistance after a crash or medical emergency. Foss Motors in...

Exeter, NH inspected the truck under RO [redacted], opened [redacted] at 20,270 miles. The completed service checklist confirms the SOS complaint was reproduced; marks NO for response-center confirmation of receiving the test call and NO for clear two-way operator audio; and records the final status as UNRESOLVED and the system as INOPERATIVE. The dealer recorded that a connected-services agent could not locate the VIN in its system and escalated Stellantis case [redacted]. A radio software update was performed for unrelated issues to bring the radio current for testing. The technician recorded no change and inability to get the system functional. Earlier repair orders referenced in the checklist are [redacted], [redacted] and [redacted]. The SOS problem predates this latest visit; the date and mileage entered here identify the latest documented repair presentation, not initial onset. The invoice shows [redacted] as its closing date, but I actually picked up the truck on [redacted] after dropping it off on [redacted]. The SOS malfunction remains unresolved. Exact initial onset and technical root cause are unknown. I request NHTSA review of this emergency-communication safety defect.

Rear 3-piece window facing the cab, the fixed piece on the driver's side exploded outwardly. I brought the vehicle to the dealership; they documented the situation, put a request into the manufacturer regarding a claim and commented that they had not seen similar events to date. I checked online and found examples of the same problem with the same vehicle.

Was involved in a front end collision while driving my truck. Driver coming the opposite direction lost control of their vehicle and slid sideways into my lane. I locked up the brakes and tried to avoid the other car but it hit my entire front end. Estimated to be doing 40-50mph when this occured. The trucks damage pushed the front bumper in far enought to make contact with both front tires making the vehicle non operational after the accident. All headlights, fog lights, grille, bumper, hood and fenders were affected in this collision. No airbags were deployed in my vehicle and the collision was a total front end not a glancing hit.
