At this point, why would you want a replacement? See if you can bargain your way out of the loan. Have Ram buy out your car note and reimburse you for your past payments. Then, go buy something that's more reliable than a Stellantis product. FYI: You don't want a new Tundra with the V-6 turbo or a GM with the 6.2 gas engine.
2025 1500 Ram SST Issues

I like the idea of the Hurricane engine, although from what I've been reading there are problems with it.
Ahh ok. I was thinking of state lemon laws where each state is a little different as far as how many times they couldn't repair a specific problem.
But you still have to bring the action and incur those cost until that time. My point was that just because there is a law that says they are suppose to do this or that, there is no motivator for them to act up it. You are dealing with corporate "lawfare" that has the ball in their court for most normal people.
Is this the same engine that Auto Auction Rebuilds is having issues with?
Ding! Ding! Ding! Never buy a car in it's first year production run.

The company i work for bought a 2024 Ram 2500 heavy duty. Just over 100 miles on it and the brake pedal loses pressure quite frequently. Off to the dealership it goes. Waste more time.
My last truck was a 2023 Nissan Frontier. They have used the same frame design since 2005 and they forgot to weld mine together.
I live in Nebraska so it needs repairs 4 times OR 40 days without use. Mine has spent 41 days at the dealership so mine could use both state and federal law
I don't want a replacement. I want it repurchased per the law for breach of warranty and state lemon law.
Because you want a different vehicle, or because you simply want to exercise your right to do so?
I'd give it 2-3 years to be honest.
Exactly!
I want a vehicle that can make it to it's first oil change without having to contact an executive that works for the manufacturer. It's getting old buying new junk.
You had a vehicle with a minor issue that was exacerbated by a part delay. Now you’re just trying to make an example of the situation to stroke your ego.
The ordered the wrong part then forgot to burp the system once they got the right parts which took 5 additional days. It sat at the dealership for 41 days. Nebraska lemon law is 40 days. It's a lemon.
Right or wrong(not blaming the op) the dealer network is a small world. We had a do not sell to list, included repairs for frequent flyers. GM would send a rep in before we started warranty work. This was even before internet….So imo it’s not wise to burn all your bridges.

You want something that will make it to the first oil change. That's not a very lofty goal.
Never buy any vehicle that is in the first year run of production. The wrinkles are usually ironed out by the third year.
Never buy a Stellantis product. It won't be too long before Stellantis unloads Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram.
Toyota Tundra is having major engine problems in their 1st year of production.
GM is having engine problems with their 6.2 gas pickups. Their 2.7 turbo and 3.0 Duramax are their best offerings.
Ford has their problems too.
You went from a smaller Nissan to a full size Ram.
If I were looking at new trucks, I would look at the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, GM Colorado and Canyon, Ford F-150, GMC Sierra.

So is the truck back in your possession actually fixed and serviceable?
