Lemon being bought back
Purchased brand new Oct 2024 with 19 miles and the check engine light first came on at 280 miles. Multiple cylinder misfiring, code P0300, has been on/off, steady at times for a few days and flashing at times, and randomly goes away since then. Many rounds of back and forth with staff at two dealerships telling me that Ram knows its defective since at least July 2024 but does not have a fix. I was told to keep driving and tough it out until they have a solution. Seeing everyone else with the same complaints, I opted to pursue buyback through my state's lemon law. I was awarded the buyback but Ram is dragging their feet. It's been over 3 months and I still don't have the check and they are not compensating me any extra for the delays. The truck is comfortable and rides nice, but the engine is defective, the display is buggy with the radio presets and camera displays, the bed was covered in rail dust on purchase and the steering wheel heater doesn't work, so I am really looking forward to getting rid of this hunk of junk. Note that my 2019 Ram Bighorn also had engine failures with the pentastar v6 rockers/camshafts. I was going to try a Ram with the V8 engine, but FCA dragging out the buyback process and not compensating me for the delay while also requiring me to continue making payments on the lemon and keep driving it even through it's unsafe and unreliable (since I can't afford something else until they give me my check) made me change my mind.

Engine light issue - Don't buy or lease
I recently leased 2025 Hurricane S.O Big Horn. 400 miles in and then engine light came on. I went online and found out these new 2025 models are plagued with CEL issue and no one has clue how to fix it. Here is the link https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2025-ram-1500-bighorn-3-0-i-hurricane-twin-turbo-so-420hp-check-engine-light.60378/ Stellantis is quiet about this issue. Don't lease these new 2025 models until they have a fix.

Not happy
Bought a new 2025 bighorn crewcab. Interior is nice, but quality is lacking. All door panels rattle, cheap sounding speakers. Had a check engine light on due to a misfire with the remote start. The worst thing for me, if you want the defrost on all by itself, you have to have the heat on high. You turn it down one notch and it blows out of the feet so they can cook at the same time. Why even have a setting for the defrost all by itself if it only does it on high heat? Dodge will not fix it.

Don't Buy: Horrible Response to Problems
I purchased a RAM 2025 1500 Laramie 4 x 4 in November 2024. While the in line 6-cylinder Hurricane engine delivers great power and the ride is very comfortable, the support from Stellantis to both my dealer service organization and myself is very slow, incomplete and unreasonable. My truck has spent more than 70 days at the local dealer shop with recurring parasitic drains. Parts replaced included main battery twice, auxiliary battery once, turbo water pump once, alternator and voltage sensor and now the WIN module. Post alternator and voltage sensor replacement, the truck sat for only 3.5 hours in which time it went from full voltage at the battery to 3.5 volts. The most recent WIN module replacement has an indeterminant lead time. Although we have escalated to Stellantis' Customer Experience Manager and received an extended warranty and some dollars as compensation, their involvement comes and goes and weeks go by with no response. There are many posts on the internet about electrical issues; this is real. My local dealer escalates concerns to the STAR technical support group; again replies are very slow and in some cases borderline ridiculous. One such response when the dealer service department could not replicate the problem was that the problem with electrical drain was in the garage environment I store the 1500 in. The causes cited are present in every modern garage in America, and do not affect a late model car I store next to the 1500. Another item to be aware of is that the coil springs in the bed, although providing a smooth ride, need airbags whether from the factory or after-market to support a tongue weight as advertised and additional items one would put in the bed. I am not sure if the same issues with Stellantis' support are equal to other manufacturers as this is my 3rd RAM; 1st 2 were a 1500 gas and a 3500 diesel both of which performed very well. But if you buy a RAM and have problems be prepared; you will spend a lot of time and energy resolving them.
