In owners' own words
When turn signal is engaged (left, right, or hazard,) the normal turn signal sound randomly changes pitch and tone. This is an intermittent problem. Dealership has updated software which did not fix the problem. The signal lights work but the sound makes it seem as if there is a warning other than a normal turn signal sound. There are at least two social media posts about this exact issue on a 2025 and 2026 Ram 1500. Electrical system
Loses the memory seat position all the time and seat does not roll back to exit. Speed limit warning setting is forgotten and alerts at 2 mph default, parking camera view fail to come on and must be selected manually, door trim popped off driver door requiring 2 trips to dealer to fix and a third trip to dealer to get seat position memory buttons reconnected as they were forgotten on 2 nd visit. Electrical system
There was a recall for the cluster pack on the screen that shows my speedometer and safety features such a lane departure, turn signals, etc. I had the recall completed and my screen still blacks out randomly. It has been in the shop 3 times to fix the screen, but Ram cannot get it fixed. I have multiple pictures and videos of the screen blacking out if anyone is interested I can email them.
