2025 Ram 1500 Rebel New Vehicle Issues (no starting, dead battery, warming lights, stalling, blind spot detection) only 900km on the vehicle

[Canadian_Guy26]

I am very frustrated about my purchase of a 2025 Rebel 1500. It started right from when I transferred ownership of my SUV for my new Rebel. The person that delivered the vehicle told me when we met that the check engine light just came on but the truck is running ok without issues. Transferred vehicles and drove it 10 km down the road and parked it for the night. The next morning it would not start with the remote so I went into the vehicle and tried to start it once then everything went black and you could hear a buzzing noise coming from the battery area. Hooked up a battery charger and the aux battery read 0% charge. Let it charge for a few hours till it got to 100%. The vehicle started then and I was able to drive it home. I drove it for 1 day with no issues then dropped it off to get the rust protection done only to get a call from the shop that the truck would not start and the aux battery was dead again. Got the aux battery replaced and the vehicle started ok that day. The next morning on the way to work I got a trailer hazard warning light come on when I didnt have anything hooked up to the vehicle. Parked it at work for the day and when i started it to go home the light was out but while driving home the vehicle stalled with no warning at a red light. The check engine light came on again. The next morning drove to work no issue but the check engine light was still on. I brought it to a local shop to get the codes read as the local dealership said the earliest they could get me in is Dec 24th. The attached report is 3 pages of faults that are on my vehicle. At the shop after reading the codes the truck would not start again and needed to be boosted as the aux battery was down to 5 amps. After getting it started while driving back to work the blind spot detection got stuck on, I received a email about the problem on my vehicle. I managed to get get home after work and parked the truck for the night. I tried to start it with the app and it said the truck started but when I checked it was not running. I went outside to try to start it manually the vehicle and it did not start again. The vehicle is not started multiple times now even after changing the aux battery like I see many people saying was the issue. The location and post size of the aux makes it very hard to boost with a booster pack. I am VERY upset that you spend as much as we do on a brand new vehicle only to have issues like this right out of the gate. The more I look into this vehicle I see that I am not the only one that has had this sort of issues and when people bring it in the dealerships cant find the fixes. The local dealership has a reputation of not being helpful with vehicles not purchased from them.

Anyone have any suggestion? I am at the point I want to ship my vehicle back to the dealership and request a different truck or something else. I do love the look, ride and options of the Rebel but worried with this many problems already that I am going to regret this purchase. PLEASE HELP AND FIX THIS ISSUE!!!!!!

I would just send it back. You dont need the head ache. Even if they do figure out the issue it could be parked for months until they get the parts.
