Dodge Ram Reviews

I don’t even know where to start. The 2500’s 6.7’s are so under powered, junk fuel mileage, emission system is awful, the electronics are even worse at times. I’m almost 2 years in to owning my truck and no dealership has been able to fix the Uconnect issue. As bad as Ram is, the Dodge dealerships/techs/service writers are even worse. Your warranty doesn’t mean anything when you have lazy people that just don’t care to do the warranty work. When you have issues and check engine lights and dtc’s and the techs say they don’t know how to fix something or when you have said uconnect failure on the test drive while the truck is brand new so you think no big deal, they can fix this later.

My 2021 RAM 2500 HEMI gas engine has only 51,000 miles, yet the engine has seized and is being replaced under warranty. The truck is at the dealership for nearly two months, and we still do not have a completion date. This has caused us to miss camping trips and has significantly impacted our ability to use the vehicle for its intended purpose. The dealership insists that it would only be within a few weeks to get all parts in to repair. It’s been close to two months and still nothing. No status updates, or expected completion date.

I own a Ram truck. It failed inspection in May of this year. They told me I needed to replace the sway bar. I ordered the part more than 5 weeks ago. I have not been able to drive for over 5 weeks and the sway bar is still not here. It is only a damn piece of metal, they price it at nearly $1000, and they can't even get it here in time. Will never buy a Dodge again.

After retiring from the military following a 38-year career, I decided to purchase a new Ram Truck in January 2025. This was going to be the third Ram that I have owned and my “retirement” gift. My wife and I went to Whitten Brothers Ram on Midlothian Turnpike and found the exact truck I wanted. A solid black 2025 Ram 1500 Rebel with all the options. After finishing up the paperwork, we went out to drive the vehicle home. I should have suspected something when we came out and the vehicle was already running but, I did not.

This is the second Ram 2500. Both have been nightmare to have warranty work done. My truck is less than 8 months old and ram will not stand behind their warranty and they know that we as a consumer cannot really do anything about their horrible quality control. My leather seat have 6 inches of slack and all I have been asking is for them to fix them as this truck is only 6 months old. I have carried the truck to the dealer where they have clearly documented and ram has denied the claim, states that is normal wear so if you are looking to buy a premium vehicle and want poor quality ram is your product but if you want quality look somewhere else. They do not care about customer service and the quality of their product. I have contacted corporate with no response numerous times, I got a email with a agent stating he could not help me. Stay away from Stellantis.

I loved my Ram until the radiator which was defective failed at 39000 miles. The warranty ends at 36k but they had no leeway at the dealership. I bought brand new to avoid major repairs and Ram failed me. I spent 63k for a 1600 dollar repair in under 2 years.

I purchased a brand new 2025 Ram Rebel X in September, and with only 7,000 miles the front tires are already ruined due to what appears to be a factory alignment issue. Unfortunately, my experience with both RAM Customer Care and South Hills Dodge has been extremely disappointing. After noticing the abnormal tire wear, South Hills Dodge initially agreed to perform an alignment under warranty, but refused to cover the cost of the two damaged front tires — even though the wear was clearly caused by the alignment problem. They instructed me to open a case with RAM Corporate to seek tire coverage.

I have owned 3 Rams. They were all great trucks. I bought a 2026 RHO 1500 and I will never buy another Ram. It codes all the time and makes it to where I won't drive it. I called customer service and can not understand a word they say. It's been in the shop several times and I was told I would have to pay for a loaner? Seriously $92000??. They see the codes stored but, nothing they can do. I can go on and on but, just consider buying a Ford. I will go back to Ford if I can sell this thing with 3000 miles on it.

2026 Ram 3500 with 2k miles on it. Been in the shop for almost 60 days out of 100 of ownership. Been to 2 dealerships to fix multiple issues, and to date, still multiple are not fixed. Between dealing with dealership and Customer Care, it's very evident, that neither one cares to take the time or even put effort into fixing them. I attached photos of the most recent DEF gauge issue that has been attempted to be fixed 4 times. Upon the vehicle being released back to me, I was informed that the fix for the DEF gauge is to "Just don't fill it up". This came from Ram Engineers from STAR and sent me on the way... Was told they drove it for 2 days and did not notice any gauge fluctuation.

My wife owns a 2018 Ram 2500. She constantly get warnings of traction and ABS failures. Cruise control shuts off with these warnings. There is a recall, but cannot get it fixed due to parts not available. The part has not been available since the recall, well over a year ago or better.

My Ram 1500 battery light turned on then my vehicle turned off and restarted while driving. Dealership contacted RAM for the part. RAM customer support tells them the part will be in April 7th, it is currently February 24th. The dealership told me to contact customer support for a loaner because the RAM dealership doesn’t have any. Customer support then transfers me to 7 different departments over 2 days giving me multiple different answers and unable to connect me to a supervisor for 2 days. Was then told nobody started my process and if I need a vehicle for the next 6 weeks I need to pay out of pocket and they only cover a specific amount. I will never purchase another vehicle from RAM, Jeep, Dodge, or Chrysler. Customer service is appalling along with their bs policy for a situation they caused.

I am not 90 days since I have had access to my new Ram 1500 leased on October 2025 as it sits at the Aventura Dodge Ram Service Center awaiting for engineers and mechanics to determine why the brake module continues to malfunction. 3 months have gone by since I was traveling in the express lane on I95 and experience break failure. This was now the second time I was out into a dangerous situation by the make of vehicle, something I had never experienced in the past with Jeep which has always been my choice of vehicle make. But I took a chance and went for Ram. Big mistake! Not only has the vehicle caused me much stress and anxiety, let alone the amount of time spent managing calls and emails and trips to the Aventura Service center, the poor customer service has been what really stands out.

Avoid buying a Ram 1500 at all cost. I own a 2021 Rebel, 46K miles and needing to replace transmission already. And of course out of warranty. Very disappointing, especially as much as these new trucks cost.

Got a brand New 2026 Ram longhorn limited edition. The power tailgate did not work from the start. Dealer says don't know how to fix it. Ram customer care says they can't do anything. So what? They can sell overpriced cars which don't work as advertised? SCAM! Never buy this car. Such a bad experiences.

I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue. I own a 2018 Dodge Ram EcoDiesel, and with just around 100,000 kilometers, I’ve run into a major engine problem. This truck was a significant investment for my family, and we’ve always relied on it for daily use. Now, being out of warranty, the repair costs are quite daunting. I’m curious if others have faced this kind of issue at a similar mileage and if you found any solutions or received support from Dodge. Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

When a auto company (RAM) fails to take care of SAFETY recalls, that should tell you what they think of their customer base. My 2017 RAM 3500 had two SAFETY RELATED RECALLS and in both cases failed to repair. The first recall was related to the drag link that loosened with the possibility of losing steering control. Instead of using solid steel hex bar for the drag link, they used a cheapened stamp steel unit that allowed the tie rod ends to loosen with possible loss of steering. Their sanctioned fix was to weld the tie rid ends to stamped metal unit. By doing this the owner was no longer able to align their RAM without cutting the welds or replacing the unit with a solid steel unit at the owners expense. If they cared about their customer they should have replaced the faulty part with the known safer part.

Junk. Going on a total of 5 weeks in the shop. 2025 3500 Cab and chassis. Same problem as everyone else is having. Won’t shut off, won’t go in gear. All the same warning lights on. 4 times I’ve been stranded with a trailer on. 2 times it’s been in the shop. It’s hard to make a living with a new truck that won’t run. I was dumb enough to buy 2 new ones.

I have a 2020 Ram 1500. Called Uconnect as car okay no longer works and was told I am two updates behind. Those updates are no longer OTA, and I would have to go to the dealership for the update. Called the dealership and they said it would be $250+ and take an hour and a half. Basically they stick a USB in and let it update. No one needs to be there. So I am paying for nothing. Something I could easily do myself had their piece of crap updated in its own. They do not have the files available anywhere to do it yourself.

Have talked to Ram care several times about recall on my 2018 Ram 2500. Keep getting the same reply. Parts not available and no idea when they will be available. I have talked to a lot of people who are in the same boat as me. No information and no recourse. If this is how they do business then buy from another manufacturer. I have owned two dodge vehicles before this one and quality has gone down hill and customer service is nonexistent. Very disappointed with this vehicle.

This is the first review I have ever written. If I could, I would leave a negative star. I am writing due to Chrysler in general having extremely poor response to my issue. I have a 2021 Ram 4x4. The check engine light came on. When I tried to get the problem resolved, of course it could not be checked because the light was no longer on. This happened four different times before the tech was able to determine what the problem is. Some type of High Voltage Battery needs to be replaced. Chrysler won't replace a replacement until the Dealer (Lithia Chrysler/Jeep in Missoula MT) can verify the original has gone bad. More back and forth. The dealer is telling me this could take as long as 8 months.

I own a 2020 Ram 1500 5.7 liter etorque. The water pump went out. Normal service item. Truck has been down. Ram says there are not any water pumps in America to fit my standard truck and they won't be available until mid-December. I have one on order, part 68261224AG, and call customer service a couple times a week. I have a friend in Tamp who suggested I call Galena Chrysler Ram Jeep in Ft Meyers FL 239-481-2600. I called and sure enough the parts guy said they had 2. He then proceeded to tell me he wanted $600 + $50 dollar core charge. I explained I had one on order for $390 with core charge. He said that was his price. Ram is delivering thousands of trucks a day with the same water pumps. I sit paying $40+ dollars a day for a car rental. I need a new truck next year and they think I will spend $70K to be treated like this for my brand loyalty? This is a horrible company.

Bought a cert pre owned 23 Ram 1500 a month ago. Go to use remote start on app but no option shown. After calling, org owner used the trial and if I want to use it it’s $18 a month. How about a free trail for each new owner? You’d make more from people forgetting to cancel. This on top of no multi vehicle discount. Bad look Stellantis! Shouldn’t nickel and dime your faithful customers, else you lose them.

***STAY AWAY*** I would give a ZERO if I could. JEEP Dodge RAM sells overpriced piles of junk and then says we "don't build them" (all of them told us that almost like they are trained to say that because they know they sell overpriced piles of junk). They sell you a rolling dumpster and then leave you hanging in the wind. I would recommend to anyone buying a new car to avoid Jeep Dodge Ram like the plague unless you like spending all your time being jerked around on emails and calls and everyone from the dealer to the corporate office points the finger at everyone else.

My name is James **. I own a Dodge Ram 5.7 hemi. Had problems with the front suspension so I took it to TK Modern Auto Brooklyn NY for repairs. Drove the vehicle for one month and had to take the vehicle to island Chrysler Dodge Ram to get an inspection into regards to why the vehicle was making loud noises when you drive it. Find out that they did not do the work to the vehicle so I've been out of a vehicle for 18 days. My vehicle is located at Island Chrysler for 18 days and can't seem to come to no kind of conclusion of how to fix my vehicle through Carshield. Constantly calling the service rep at island Chrysler and can't get through for the last 6 days. They refuse to accept my calls and to tell me anything as far to my vehicle.

December 2024 Bought a 2024 Ram 6.7 Rebel 90,000 dollar truck. Transmission went out at 6k miles. I was told by Larry H Miller Ram in Albuquerque NM they did not have a tech with an unknown fix ETA. May 2025 bought another Ram 6.7 (3500 Laramie) truck has been in the shop 6 times for electrical problems with no fix. Currently 20 days in the shop for the 6th repair attempt. I’ve spent around 180k on Ram trucks in the last 8 months with nothing to show for!!

DO NOT BUY 2025Ram!!!! I have had the vehicle for 3 weeks and have been stranded multiple times for the truck failing to start. It even lost power twice while driving. Had the vehicle towed and worked on multiple times. Major wiring issues. I only put 400 miles on it (most of which is back and forth to the dealership).

My 2021 RAM 2500 is sitting in a dealership for over a month now because of a shortage of parts. I have escalated the situation to RAM and have been unable to get a date when the part will become available. I've been told it's due to a global parts shortage. Stay away from this brand!

June lease a 2025 Ram 1500, July 10 drop off cause cluster went out. Ram stated it has a shortage in cluster, been 2 months and still waiting on part, ask to trade out to new lease. A no go cause I'm upside down.

I’ve had nothing but problems with the truck. Truck has driven extremely rough with lots of cabin vibration. I was told the tires could have flat spots and the build quality was poor. Worse yet the truck suddenly stopped on its own at 75mph on the freeway with all kinds of red alerts on the dash. Very scary and it has occurred more than once so there is clearly an underlying issue. Pretty unhappy overall. Stellantis has not responded to my open BBB complaint and their customer care team provided no help in response to opening a ticket. I’m now spending time contacting an attorney to return the vehicle under the lemon law. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

So I have a 2022 Ram 2500. 30K on it for mileage. I go to start the truck, and it is dead. I pull the battery out of the truck, and it is dated 2014. Why the heck would a 2022 truck have a battery dated with manufacture date of 2014 and of course, no one wants to hear it or replace it.

***BEWARE*** I purchased a 2025 Dodge Ram 3500 Tradesman and at first I LOVED IT BUTTTT after only 813 miles it has left me a Very Unhappy Customer as I am currently Stranded 8 hours away from home!!! It seems I did not do enough research because now I find out that MANY customers have had the same problem so WHERE IS THE RECALL?!?!?! The wheel speed sensors are no good! I happen to be one of the unlucky ones that not only does the ABS not work neither does the truck AT ALL!!! It will not move forward or back once I killed the engine and restarted a short time later all the dash lights came on the leveling system, 4wd, parking sensor temp unavailable and more! This happened as soon as I reached my destination and that was Wed.

I have been a Ram owner for many years. I believe that ram trucks are the best trucks available on the market. Although I have not had a chance to drive a newer model I stand behind RAM and believe they make some of the best quality vehicles on the road even though my ram truck seems to be a lemon and has costed me thousands upon thousands of dollars to keep it on the road.

Do not buy a Ram. The customer service is nothing but a joke. They will have you sitting without your vehicle forever. They don't care. All they want is your money. I have been dealing with them for over 2 weeks and still no response or results.

We purchased a new RAM 1500 truck in January 2025, which has been plagued by manufacturing defects. Despite numerous visits to the workshop, totaling over seven instances, three engine parts have already been replaced. We subsequently applied for assistance under the Lemon Law, but our claim was denied by Ram. Unfortunately, our experience with the customer service team was unsatisfactory, and the dealer's workshop in Northern Kentucky was unprofessional, horrible service! If I could provide a rating of -100 stars, I would. This experience has been the most disappointing of my life with this brand and their subpar service. Previously, we bought a car in like-new condition at this Marshall dealership in Northern Kentucky, only to discover later that it had manufacturing issues and only 155 miles on it.

I purchased a 2025 Ram Big Horn with the new 3.0 twin turbo 420 HP. I have a 2021 Ram with the Hemi, 69,000 never have a warranty claim. The truck has been awesome. I have a new employee starting to work and had to get him a truck. I was skeptical of this new engine package. Boy was I wrong, this new truck with the 3.0 twin turbo is definitely quicker than the Hemi and less noise. If you are sitting still, it is hard to hear it running. I was so impressed with the new package that the new employee will be getting my 2021 and I am proudly driving the new 2025. Basically, very similar to my 2021 except some small body changes and this new engine. It's more powerful and less road noise than the 2021. I do like the new heated stirring wheel and the heated seats. I believe I like the Ram symbol on tail gate better than the RAM letters on tail gate.

“Nothing stops a Ram”? I FOUND THAT A $27 GASKET AND A BOGUS WARRANTY IS ALL IT TAKES TO STOP A RAM!!! I purchased a brand new 2016 Ram Pro Master 1500. I faithfully had it serviced at my local Ram dealer for every oil change and service need. At 121K miles the engine went out (literally 1K miles post warranty). My local Ram dealer told me that a remanufactured engine was not only my best option but was superior to a new engine given that it is fully dismantled and reassemble by Ram certified service technicians vs coming off of an assembly line. Based on that recommendation I purchased and had installed a remanufactured engine from my local Ram dealer at a cost of over $10,500 and was told it had a 3 year/100,000-mile warranty.

The manufacturing of any RAM series trucks that has a leather interior option is extremely faulty. The glue they use does not stick the leather to the substrate of the dash frame. I purchased a Max Care 8 yr - 125,000 mi warranty when the vehicle was purchased. Within 5 yr (55,000 mi) a bubble start to develop under the leather on the passenger side dash. This vehicle has always been either garage kept of has had a good quality sun shade blocking the sun from the dash. After talking with the dealership, they acknowledged this is a know issue since 2019. They said to call RAM Care directly to get them to authorized a full replacement (cost $2429) as this is a known defect.

I bought a Ram Laramie 2022 with an extended warranty to 100.000 miles, I had couple issues but not all was covered, however... I been driving in a mildew smell, I kept having detailing but got worse, detail shop found out rear window leaking on both sides and caused health issues etc. I reached out to the dealership, they want to charge me just to look into it and told me is out of warranty, mind you. This is 2 and half years, 78k truck and I am at 80k miles, this should be taken care of since it's a manufacturing defect but unfortunately, Ram is dodging it. I love Ram. I had 4 of them and this one is an eco diesel but I am still battling to fix this issue or if not I can't drive it and I paid it all, to get a new one I'd lose 53k and I can't get a diesel one again they stopped making Laramie 1500 in diesel. So I am stuck.

I have a 2019 Ram Laramie 4x4 Loaded. Beautiful truck! In 2021, my manifolds on both sides started tapping. It was replaced 3 times, both sides. Very stressful situation dealing with dealerships who really didn't help much due to them not making money off the repairs because it was covered under Mopar Warranty. In November of 2024, I started smelling antifreeze inside the cabin. It was the heater core. $1458.69 to repair. The repairs took place in January of 2025. March 2025, I started noticing antifreeze leaking on the passenger side of the front wheel. Few weeks later, noticed a leak on the drive side front wheel. Took it to the shop, radiators no good, $600.00 repair.

2019 RAM DPF backordered, (warranty). Many calls made to customer care to get a tracking # and ETA of the part (truck has been down for 3 weeks). RAM has not been able to give that info to dealer as well. Customer care case manager did not return my calls or email. He told me he called me on another number after I gave them my number when I open the case. Once I was able to get him on the phone, after 4 calls to other case managers, he said that a supervisor is not available.
