DEMAND A NATIONAL INVESTIGATION INTO SUDDEN BRAKING AND WHEEL LOCKUP IN STELLANTIS VEHICLES

Ram • Dodge • Jeep • Chrysler • Stellantis

 

I am a Missouri business owner launching a nationwide effort to investigate potentially life-threatening braking and wheel-lockup malfunctions involving Stellantis vehicles.

 

I own a 2025 Ram Rebel 1500 that has experienced THREE dangerous incidents.

 

August 2026: While traveling approximately 65 mph on a highway, my truck suddenly locked up without warning. The tires slid, and the vehicle came to an unexpected stop. I could not control the truck normally. It had to be towed to the dealership.

 

A Chrysler specialist inspected the vehicle and downloaded electronic data. Despite providing the exact incident information, I have never received an explanation of the findings.

 

October 29, 2026: My truck experienced another unexpected braking or lockup incident at approximately 40 mph. The dealership kept it for approximately one week, could not identify the problem, and returned it November 6.

 

November 7, 2026: The very next morning, my truck began malfunctioning again before I reached the end of my street.

 

I recorded video showing the dashboard's lane indicators flashing while I experienced repeated abnormal braking or wheel lockup.

 

When I sent the video to the dealership, I was questioned about whether I was swerving out of my lane. I was not. I was driving normally in the center of my lane.

 

RAM HAS DENIED MY BUYBACK REQUEST.

 

I have repeatedly contacted Ram corporate and my assigned caseworker, sometimes daily or weekly, trying to get answers. They have not proactively provided meaningful updates or resolved the problem.

 

The dealership promised to retrieve my truck on November 9. As of November 13, it remains in my driveway.

 

I drive long distances for my security business, sometimes six hours round trip. This is my primary vehicle, and I depend on it to earn a living.

 

My greatest concern is what happens when this malfunction occurs at highway speed with a semi-truck or a family in another vehicle behind me.

 

SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED.

 

I have spoken with other people reporting similar experiences. My daughter experienced a similar incident in her 2025 Dodge Durango.

 

We do not yet know whether these incidents share a common defect. That is exactly why an investigation is necessary.

 

WHAT WE ARE DEMANDING

 

1. A nationwide investigation into reported sudden braking and wheel-lockup malfunctions.

2. An examination of potentially involved electronic braking, stability control, and driver-assistance systems.

3. Transparency from Stellantis regarding relevant safety findings.

4. Appropriate recalls, repairs, replacements, or buybacks where warranted.

5. Accountability for unresolved safety complaints.

 

POTENTIAL NATIONAL CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT

 

We are organizing affected vehicle owners to document their experiences and investigate whether a nationwide class-action lawsuit against Stellantis is appropriate.

 

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!

 

If you own a Ram, Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, or another Stellantis vehicle and have experienced unexpected braking, wheel lockup, or loss of vehicle control, please come forward.

 

Even if you haven't experienced this problem, your signature can help demonstrate public support for a safety investigation.

 

SIGN THIS PETITION. SHARE IT NATIONWIDE. HELP PROTECT OTHER FAMILIES.

 

Your vehicle. Your safety. Your voice.
