RAM Lemon Law attorney help for defective vehicles and warranty claims
Ram makes work trucks, from the light-duty 1500 to the heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 Cummins diesel vehicles, where every day on a service lift is a day you’re not earning, which is exactly what drives Ram lemon law claims on everything from death wobbles to CP4 pump failures to EcoDiesel emissions issues.
The Lemon Reps have recovered $508,000 across 91 FCA (Jeep, Ram, and Chrysler) cases—a roughly $5,600 average per case as part of our broader $3.2M+ recovered across 1,500+ cases nationwide, and we file Ram claims on 1500, 2500, 3500, Cummins diesel, and the new all-electric 1500 REV in every state where lemon law and Magnuson-Moss apply.

Your RAM likely qualifies when the same defect has been in for repair 2 or more times for a safety issue (3 to 4 for non-safety issues), the truck has been out of service 30 or more cumulative days, or the defect substantially impairs use, value, or safety. Ram-specific triggers include:
Most state laws run 18 to 24 months or 18,000 to 24,000 miles from delivery; Magnuson-Moss extends to 4 years from breach. Keep every repair order, photograph warning lights, track odometer readings, and save correspondence with RAM Customer Assistance (1-800-777-3600).

Here is where Ram owners face a situation most other brands do not: commercial use and GVWR exclusions matter a lot. Many state lemon laws cover only vehicles used primarily for personal transportation, and many impose a gross vehicle weight rating limit of 10,000 pounds. That means a heavy-duty Ram may fall outside your state’s lemon law entirely for reasons like:
This is why federal Magnuson-Moss matters so much for RAM owners: the federal law has no GVWR cap and broader commercial-use coverage, so it often becomes the primary path for heavy-duty and work-truck claims.
A typical Ram buyback funds within 30 to 90 days from the signed settlement. Timeline depends on case complexity:
Reacquired Vehicle Services handles the title, the vehicle surrender at a designated inspection location, and the check release in coordination with your lienholder.

No! You pay nothing out of pocket. If your case qualifies, the manufacturer covers all legal costs—so there’s no risk to you.
Yes. The Ram 1500 is covered under both state lemon law and the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act as long as it has a valid manufacturer’s warranty. Common claims involve transmission problems, eTorque failures, air suspension defects, and EcoDiesel emissions issues.
Many state laws have commercial-use exclusions (often kicking in above 50% business use), but federal Magnuson-Moss has broader coverage and often still applies. A quick consultation with a RAM lemon attorney will tell you which path fits.
Yes. Dodge Ram trucks built before the 2009 Ram Trucks brand split are covered under Dodge lemon law rights, and 2009 and newer trucks fall under Ram. The federal Magnuson-Moss applies to both, so a lemon law attorney can pursue either path depending on your truck’s model year.
