3.0 SST
I bought a 2025 1500 Ram Bighorn in September with the new SST. We have put 1500 miles on it and it has been broken for 31 Days now. The low temp cooling system won't hold coolant it has a bad water pump and needs a cooling hose. Also all the driver assist features were disabled and need serviced. They reprogrammed the computer and now ABS is disabled and the brakes failed. They ordered the wrong water pump so we're still waiting on parts and fixes.

Anyone else have these types of issues? My last truck was a 2023 Nissan Frontier that they forgot to weld the frame together on and we lemon lawed it. We have started the lemon law process on the Ram now.

If the computer system is anything like the Mopar systems in the past
If 1 needed component fails.
all of the driver assist features will shut down

At least the Bumper to Bumper factory warranty repairs do not cost you anything but loss of the vehicle, during the Shop Time, which is not reimbursed

Sounds like you have had bad luck with new vehicles. Am sorry to hear about your troubles. Maybe the dealer can provide you with another new one, switch them out? We had a couple of hiccups with false codes but new runs of the system and all has been right as rain. We like our truck and it does what it is suppose to.
Wish you the best of luck what ever direction you go! :)
