What owners wrote
when the vehicle is put in reverse when it is dark outside the screen goes to full bright blinding the driver no matter what the brightness settings are. This makes it almost impossible to see when backing up. This more than negates any saferty gains made by having the backup camera in the first place. I have contacted ram concerning this issue with no response. There are multiple threads on the internet going back years complaining about this issue with no fix in sight.
The contact owns a 2025 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the rear lights became inoperative. The message "No Trailer Lights" was displayed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken back to the residence. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V059000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that the part was not yet available.
