The vehicle lost power, and all of the service lights on the dashboard started lighting up, wipers turned on and off by themselves, headlights turned on and off. Most of the messages stated that service was required on AWD, shifter, parking assist, power steering, brakes...etc. The truck wasn't picking up speed and started shaking. At some point, I felt like the brakes were NOT responding. I was 2 minutes away from home, so I drove home and parked it. I found a few other 5th generation Ram owners online with the same issue. However, I just hit 40k miles on the car, and the basic warranty only covers until 30k miles. If this is a common problem, why isn't there a recall to fix the problem before someone crashes their truck, hurt themselves, or hurt someone else. This only adds to the water leaking from the back window problem.

We bought this truck used around September of last year and it took a couple of months to start having issues. First, when we would turn the truck on and it would crank, we would hear an occasional knock in the rear end. Like something being reemed out. Recently, one two separate occasions, two separate days, we were going to town and all of a sudden the A/C stopped working and extremely hot air started blowing through the vents and we couldn't turn it off or anything. The knobs to turn off the AC didn't turn it off. The only solution was to pull over on the side of the road and kill the truck and then crank it again. I can only imagine if someone else has this truck and a baby or even elderly was sitting in the vehicle and it changed over like this, it would've suffocated them within minutes, the heat was hotter than heat on a vehicle ever thought about being. Also, our backup camera has had moisture in it after a rain and throws up green lines across the screen. It also has had electrical issues, the radio and whole display will sometimes cut off when the brake pedal is pressed. The radio sometimes cuts off on its own or won't turn off when the button is pushed and sometimes this causes distraction to the driver. There has been a rattle in the steering wheel since we have gotten it. Of course, we have taken it to the dealer from where we bought it because we paid for an extended warranty but they can never find an issue because it doesn't do it while in their presence, even though we have pictures of the malfunction. Also, recently we have noticed that the truck doesn't want to take the gas. It will click off the gas probably 3 or 4 times before we can get the truck filled.

The issue is that as a result of faulty factory installation of the rear window and the resulting issues it caused that were beyond my control, I had to pay $2000 that the manufacturer will not cover. The truck rear window was installed improperly causing a slight leak that was not detectable unless the rear seats were removed. At the same time the third brake light gasket was also leaking, and these leaks were not detectable by any normal means. The result of the leaks was that the RF unit that allows all of the key fobs and the main start button to function was damaged thus rendering the truck unusable. Manufacturing defects like this could have caused my truck to fail while driving it and could have been a huge safety issue. Luckily that did not happen to me. The manufacturer should be held accountable for these types of production failures.

74,000 miles: I left a parking lot the transmission wouldn't shift, check engine light came on, I pulled over, shift knob went to park on its own. I shut off the engine, waited, restarted, shifted to drive, same thing, I repeated the same process. This happened a total of 3 times. 4th attempt I was able to drive normally. I have constantly had issues with the shift know not recognizing park. I have contacted my dealer and I'm told that I'm opening the door to soon. Bring it in when it's acting up, we have never head of this, the list goes on. I have also been driving to work and the engine light has come on, I got to a stop light, stopped, shift know went to park. I couldn't move the shift selector. Shut off the engine, waited about 15 seconds while drivers are blowing there horns, drivers in the other lane are driving by. Restart the engine, I still couldn't move the shift selector. Repeat. Then I could drive again. No check engine light. Once again contacted the dealer, I was told that unless it has an active check engine light they cant do anything. At some this vehicle will leave me stranded.

Bought 2019 RAM used in March 2020, had 22,500 miles. One morning the radio display began flickering and jumping around to different screens or settings as if someone was controlling it or logged into the control unit. This happened a few times. I videoed some of this going on with my phone. Then called the dealer. They said they would need it to happen while at the shop to determine the problem. Of course it stopped before I made it to the dealer. Dealer looked into it but could not determine an issue or problem. However it appeared to be fixed after that visit. There have be occasions that I-??ve had problems starting the truck. It-??s almost as if the truck does not sync with key. After removing key, open and shut door or flipping key over, turn key it cranks. January 10, while at work, everything was working fine on truck that morning. After driving 2.5 hrs, I stopped and got out of truck for 5 minutes. Once back at truck, cranked it and began driving off the power steering failed to work. Popped the hood, examined to see if I could find problem but no luck. Carried truck to local mechanic Jan 11. They saw several codes but wasn-??t sure of problem. So he cleared all codes and rechecked. Couldn-??t find quick easy fix. Then I made appointment with dealer. Dealer said the steering rack and pinion needs replaced but there isn-??t a recall on my truck. However I-??m seeing a lot of articles about this same issue with 2019 RAM. Also have a co-worker with a RAM that experiences the same odd electrical issues on his RAM. Would like some help to connect the ongoing problems with RAM electrical problems and fix it for all RAM owners. Have videos of radio issues while it-??s jumping around but I could not upload in section below. It only allows photos.

Vehicle powertrain, engine, and electrical systems, including brake, power steering, and dashboard systems completely shut down (were completely 'black'/off) on three separate occasions - two of which occurred while operating the vehicle. The first occurred while driving on a public/local road in early Dec 2022. Although all systems lost power and were unresponsive, I was able to coast the vehicle to the shoulder without impacting moving vehicles or fixed objects. The vehicle was towed to a Ram Service provider where the issue was investigated for approximately 10-days. The reason for mechanical failure could not be determined, however, they replaced the battery and key fob as precautionary measures - partially at my cost. The basic warrantee expired approximately 3,000 miles before servicing, however the powertrain warrantee is still valid. The second instance was today, 1/10/23, when I parked the car. The shutdown occurred while stationary and in 'park'. After leaving the vehicle for about 30 minutes, it started again without explanation. I reported the incident to the Ram Service provider and began to drive it to the service provider. Upon arrival, it was suggested that I return on Monday, January 23 for the issue to be investigated on the 24th. While driving to my home today, 1/10/23, the vehicle lost all power and was nearly completely unresponsive. I was operating the vehicle at speeds in excess of 65MPH on a 6-lane divided highway with minimal shoulder. Again, I was able to coast the vehicle to the narrow shoulder where it was eventually towed from and to the Ram Service provider where the issue remains under investigation. The photos, taken today, 1/10/23, show the location where I was able to park the vehicle from the highway and the narrowness of the shoulder, and the tachometer and speedometer which show the speedometer and tachometer 'frozen' and still displaying RPMs/speed from before the shutdown. Notice no warning lights appeared.

To whom it may concern, It is of extreme concern the interior moisture issue my vehicle is experiencing. My vehicle has been to Chrysler Dodge Jeep and RAM in Valencia, California twice, for inspections, for reoccurring moisture inside the vehicle. On two separate inspections, on two separate dates, the investigation revealed no moisture issues present. Unfortunately, this week after a moderate rain storm, I discovered that all the interior electronics were dead inside the vehicle, although the exterior power was working on the exterior. Additionally, I discovered several heavy moisture areas within the interior cabin, which was described to me by service personnel, as being common. Finally, I also discovered upon closing the left rear door that there was moderate water draining out of the door, and or possible frame of the vehicle.

My instrument cluster malfunctioned and has been repaired by an authorized Ram dealer. My safety was at risk because my cluster at times would not illuminate. The dealer confirmed the instrument cluster malfunctioned and the entire cluster was replaced. While driving, the instrument cluster would not fully illuminate or display warnings, and at times power steering temporarily unavailable. The instrument cluster drained my battery and caused permanent damage to it. The vehicle would not start on its own. The vehicle has only been inspected by the dealer, and Chrysler is in possession of the faulty instrument cluster. This issue is similar with other service bulletins related to Ram's poor quality control of their instrument clusters. No recall has been issued for my specific vehicle though it was clearly a manufacturer defect. It should be recalled and my repair cost refunded due to this being a safety issue.

Vehicle engine shuts off while driving and engages auto-breaking feature. First occurrence was at steady 35 miles an hour, engine shuts off suddenly and no warning lights/codes are displayed and the emergency auto-breaking feature kicked in before I guided vehicle off the road to a complete stop with a delivery truck behind me almost rearing ending. I confirmed gas and oil levels are within range, checked TIPM fuses and none were loose or backing out, key fob battery replaced within last year. The next day the vehicle will start and immediately shut off, no warning lights or codes on the display. Looking online this appears to be an issue many owners are experiencing with no recall or definitive answer from FCA and is creating extremely dangerous situations. I have videos of the vehicle starting and shutting off unexpectedly. Occurred on 11/29/22, appointment with dealer is scheduled on 12/8/22 so no additional root cause information.

The dashboard cluster frequently goes blank. This is where I can see the speed I-??m driving, if my oil needs to be changed, my backup camera and warning messages etc. this is a complete safety hazard. I went to get my inspection and emissions done and they couldn-??t complete it because they couldn-??t gather the information needed because the dash was blank. I also see that this an ongoing problem with rams and I-??m not the only one, there have been 100s of people stating the same thing. I feel like this is something that needs to be rectified. My car is only 2 years old it shouldn-??t be having these major issues already.

My rear window or antenna shark fin is allowing water to leak into the truck cabin above the rear window. The ceiling is wet above the rear window. The ceiling is wet around the airbag cover. What guarantee is there the water has not damaged the airbags or other electrical components. I am now worried the airbags could be damaged and not work properly putting my family at risk of injury if we are in an accident.

While driving the truck, driving 80mph on highway the truck disengaged from Drive to neutral, with a notice on the dash to pullover and shift to park to drive. When truck disengaged from Drive while in motion I lost all acceleration power, and had to coast over to side of road to a stop. The truck disengaged from Drive on 3 other occasions. I almost died when the truck disengaged from drive while makeing a turn through an intersection and almost getting hit my a tractor trailer. I contacted Dodge FCA, filed complaint, then i took the truck to the dealer and after having my truck for 22 days, they said I needed a new transmission on my 2019 ram 1500. The truck drove fine for 2 weeks then it disengaged from Drive again while driving, 2 times this morning. I contacted dodge fca and they said they couldn't do anything till the dealer looks at it. This is a major safety issue. I refuse to let my wife and kids ride in this truck because I am not going to have my wife and kids die in this truck because of these major safety issues. This is a known issue on all dodge ram online forums and dodge has not addressed this issue or acknowledged it. There is something wrong with the electrician system. I have had 2 batteries replaced, radio replaced, manifold, transmission, full tail light housing, active noise cancelation system fixed. There has been so many issues from day one when I bought the truck, but this MAJOR issue with the truck disengaging from drive to neutral while in motion is the most serious. Seems like dodge doesn't have an issue till someone dies in an accident from this issue, because this issue can not be replicated and doesn't not show up at a fault on the dealer test systems, due it everything in vehicles being computerized and digital. Something needs to be done about this

My vehicle is experiencing electrical issues that cause major systems to stop working while driving. This includes internal messaging screens, blind spot warning and various other systems failing. The most serious of which is the electronic power steering. It went out several times while driving and I nearly lost control of the vehicle. The first time it happened I was traveling and had to take the vehicle to a non dealer repair shop where they replaced the alternator. This initially appeared to resolve the issue but ultimately the problem returned with a few days. FCA has been unable to determine the cause and my truck remains at a local dealership.

The second time, 9/14/2022, the vehicle would not start and the electric parking brake would not release. Dealership has confirmed under tsb 23-016-21. There are also 2 others, one for the 3rd brake light and one for the aux antenna. Vehicle has 13500 miles and is out of warranty.
