2025 RAM 2500

Too new to assess

The 2025 RAM 2500 is too new for this measure. Almost every complaint about a vehicle this recent is a first-year complaint, because that is all the service life there has been, so the figure cannot separate a genuine early defect from simple youth. The complaint counts, systems and recalls below still stand on their own. The most-reported system is electrical system (37 complaints), typically at 1.3 yr or about 2,200 miles.

While driving my 2025 RAM 2500, the entire digital dash is intermittently going dark and will stay dark for several minutes, powering back up and functions as it should then goes back out.

The vehicle loses the ability to use turn signals as well as many other functions while this is occurring.
