NHTSA complaint #2088492 (ODI reference 11658514) concerns a 2015 RAM 1500 and was filed on May 2, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 12, 2025. The vehicle had 149,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as vehicle speed control:throttle, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same RAM 1500 cohort independently describe similar vehicle speed control:throttle failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
