Your tailgate opened on its own while you were driving at 25 MPH without any warning light to alert you. You didn't notice until you arrived home. The dealer confirmed that 2023 Ram 3500 trucks don't have a tailgate ajar warning light, and the manufacturer acknowledged this is a known issue but offered no help or repair. Fixing this may involve inspecting the tailgate latch mechanism and potentially replacing the latch assembly or adding an aftermarket warning system.
