2025 Ram 1500 Current Owners - Discussion, Feedback, and Problems

[Riding Deacon]

I had already posted this as a separate thread, but perhaps it should have been posted to this one. Any input would be much appreciated. I've since put probably 250 miles on the truck with no further problems.

New member here. Recently bought a new 25 limited specifically for towing a small travel trailer. While leaving hotel to pick up the new trailer, started truck cold in morning and had check engine light while idle was fluctuating and running rough. Drove .5 mile, then flashing check engine light came on, and became undriveable. Had towed to nearest dealer, and they found multiple misfire codes (write up says misfire to p0016-00 crankshaft/camshaft timing bank 1 sensor one and b0300 multiple cylinder, DTC card present p0301,2,3,4,5,6 present store codes). Dealer says they were told to erase all codes and test drive for 15 miles. Drove normally, and no codes returned. They also checked spark plug and crank and cam sensor connections, all fine. I cancelled the trailer pickup due to not wanting to risk a roadside problem with truck and trailer combo far from home. Truck drove nearly 100 miles home normally of course. Dealer told me that if recurs with flashing check engine light, could require engine tear down. This seems illogical to me, as it seems like more of a sensor related problem. Any insight from you folks would be appreciated. We're wanting to do some long trips with the new RV, but the idea of being stranded 1000 miles away from home on the side of the road with a trailer attached and vacation plans ruined by a major engine problem is not appealing. How concerned should I be at this point? Is this a very unusual occurrence? Suggestions on next steps...aside from driving it more to see if it recurs. Thank you.

Disconnect BOTH batteries......let them sit for awhile and reconnect them. You have some electrical gremlins that just happen to pop up once, then once they clear, they never show again. Almost 25,000 (s)miles on my HO Longhorn.....zero issues......no recalls, no warranty work, etc

Can you please tell me if there is any special procedure that needs to be done when reconnecting the batteries after disconnecting them? Is it enough to reconnect them and everything works correctly ?
Many Thanks.

Does anyone know of a good Breach of Warranty or Lemon Law attorney in Indiana? 2025 1500 with 3500 miles and it's been in the service shop 11 days of the last 8 weeks.

Okay, I am a big old dumbA$$!!

I never tried that button. I thought that button was to turn on/off the mirror auto-dimming. Obviously, I did not look at it closely enough.

The button to the right of that turns on/off the interior lights. It never occurred to me that there would be second button there that ALSO turns the interior lights on/off.

DUUUUHHHH!!!

So, that button (on the left) does indeed turn off the interior lights for me when the tailgate is open.

And, it seems that when the interior lights are on or the driver's door is open, the wireless charger turns off. That is still dumb, I think. But, the wireless charger seems to work when the overhead lights are off and the door is closed, even if the tailgate is down.

So.... I am all good now. Thank GOD I didn't take it to the dealer and go through all that just for them to go "watch this" and then push that button... lolol!!!

Glad I saw this today. Hauled a table for a friend last night and had to leave the tailgate down....damn interior lights were on for 45 minutes while I drove to their house. I tried every button but the right one. Thanks for the info.

I am GLAD I am not the only one!

I created a separate thread with video.

Do any of y'all have the same issue, where having the tailgate open makes the interior overhead lights come on and they won't turn off? And the tailgate open makes the wireless phone charging pad not work?

I have a '25 Limited that I got at the end of May. I think this is the first time I've driven it with the tailgate open, so I don't know if what is happening is new or if it has been like this all along.

I loaded my motorcycle in the truck Friday after work, in prep to leave early Saturday morning to drive up to the dealer to have it serviced. Bike in back means tailgate is open. Driving to dinner on Friday night, the interior cabin lights (all of them, not just the ones right over the center console) would not turn off.

Saturday morning, the lights still wouldn't turn off. Also, my...

Open door/tailgate and the wireless charger doesn’t work. Manual says so… well about the doors but I assume the gate counts as a door
