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

The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. The contact stated that rainwater had leaked into the vehicle from the top seal around the rear window and into the rear brake light wiring harness. The contact was concerned about an electrical short due to moisture leaking into the wiring harness. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure; however, the manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 55,000.

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.

Cracked rear window frame allows water ingress. This water soaks the seats and carpets creating risk of corrosion and mold. There are 4 airbags near where the water comes in creating concerns that they may be compromised. Water leaks into the rf hub causing it to malfunction. This has happened twice. The first time, 5/9/2022 the vehicle would not turn off requiring battery disconnection to turn it off. 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.

I had a failed 48v battery for the etourque system so the 12v battery was no longer being charged. I had a dispute with the dealer so I picked up the truck and began to drive home. As the generator/alternator for the etourque system was not able to charge the 48v and 12v batteries due to the 48v battery fault, the engine and all systems were running on whatever charge was left in the 12v battery. When the battery began to completely discharge, systems began to fail/go offline. Though the engine was still running as I tried to find a safe spot to pull off the road, the electric power steering failed. Unlike a traditional hydraulic power steering system failure where the wheel can be turned easily at speed and with effort at minimal speed, I was almost unable to turn the wheel at all at over 30 miles per hour. I had to pull as hard as I could to turn at a limited radius until I barely made it to a safe location off the road. The electric power steering system makes it nearly impossible to turn the steering wheel if it loses power. I am a large male and someone weaker or smaller may not have been able to turn the wheel at all.

The transmission goes into park on its own. I was at a stop light and it just went it to Park mode on it's own. Sometimes the radio and displays will shut off when I drive, then the truck dings, and then everything comes back on. It's like the thing is possessed.

The entertainment system in the truck suddenly started playing at maximum volume and the volume control could not reduce the extremely loud sound (using either the steering wheel mounted controls, or on dash controls). This caused a temporary major distraction as I quickly tried to reduce the painfully loud sound while on the Interstate highway. Using the settings section in the system menus could not solve the problem (but the mute button worked). I had to find a highway rest area and the only solution to the either off or maximum volume of the system was to disconnect the negative wire on the truck battery to get the system to hard reboot. The system reset after disconnecting the battery and the problem did not re-occur. Looking online I see that some other drivers have encountered the same issue.

FCA well knows this manufacturer defect is a common problem and they've got a TSB on it However, they feel a leaking window/roof does not pose a safety concern so there isn't a recall for it. For Etorque models this absolutely IS a safety concern!! There's a potential for the leak resulting from a manufacturer defect and they're actively repairing that very issue on my truck. This defect is known to cause the rear seat area to accumulate water/moisture.This leak is a known issue, then shouldn't the etorque system (48 volt battery) be shielded from the potential risk of water exposure? This is a 48 volt battery. Water and electricity together could cause multiple safety issues.There could be a short or electrical or computer failure.. Shutting the vehicle down while driving or worse yet starting a fire inside the cab of the truck causing possible multiple injuries or fatalities! THIS PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS!! It should be recalled and reengineered BEFORE injuries or fatalities occur!! Please do the right thing and initiate a recall with this dangerous problem so etorque model drivers are SAFE and I, a disabled? veteran, can can get reimbursed for the $1422.98 that the dealer charged me for unnecessary parts and labor this FCA manufacturer mistake cost me.

A recall will only be issued for safety concerns. A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) will be issued for known problems which are not a safety concern. A TSB isn't required to be repaired, so many times they aren't checked or fixed unless the consumer reports the problem. Likewise, if not addressed during the warranty period, they are typically* up to you to fix and/or pay for. (* more on this below) This is unlike a recall which will have safety implications and thus it must be repaired regardless of model year or mileage. This is why they send things out in the mail urging you to have the vehicle inspected/repaired. This covers them against legal claims if the affected part fails and causes injury/death. Don't confuse a "recalled" item with a known defect. They are two very different things. FCA well knows it's a common problem and they've got a TSB on it However, a leaking window/roof does not pose a safety concern so there isn't a recall for it. That doesn't mean it's not a known defect. With this being a known issue it makes it extremely difficult for FCA to claim i have a flooding problem that i caused. They know there's a potential for the leak resulting from a manufacturer defect and they're actively repairing that very issue on my truck. This defect is known to cause the rear seat area to accumulate water/moisture. This also If this leak is a known issue, then shouldn't the etorque system be shielded from the potential risk of water exposure? That's not on me I didn't alter the vehicle, drive through deep water, or somehow create damage to the covered part. It's a manufacturer defect plain and simple.It happens to be where the etorque battery is located. Water is obviously bad for electronics. Therefore the logical and reasonable person would conclude that the defect has cause the failure of the etorque system. So what about that warranty. Obviously the leak is outside the 3 year/36K mile warranty. However a vehicle warranty guarantees (or "warrants")
