The instrument cluster goes black, unable to see anything or scroll through tire pressure, fluid temperatures, speed, odometer, fuel economy, etc. It works intermittently, very distracting to drive when the screen flashes or appears to be trying to reboot. Have been to dealer without successful fix by resetting to factory standards.

While driving, usually slowing from highway speed, all safety lights turn on on the dash board (cross traffic, anti collision, rear parking, ignition, stabilitrak, check engine).Also vehicle loses power and you can not accelerate.Engine runs on (assuming) 4 cylinders as it starts shaking like it-??s misfiring.After you pull over and restart the engine all lights clear except check engine.Vehicle than runs normal.Check engine has cleared twice on me.Once after about 30 and second time after about 50 miles.In both instances I was away from home and had to drive back.The other few times was only a few miles away from dealer.Vehicle is currently at the dealer (7th time) with 35775 miles.Multiple tickets have been opened with FCA.In my own research I have found online forums with identical issues.The dealer is at the liss.Their techs can-??t figure it out.They have replaced multiple parts but the issue remains. NOTE:Your system allows me to select three issues at the start of this form but I have three more under ADAS category that I was unable to select.

The car is off and the radio turns on by itself. While the car is in motion the airconditioner works occasionally (not very often) and when the ac goes out the power windows go out as well. The warning sensors on side do not work either.

Vehicle warning display on the speedometer isn't working. It's a 2019 Ram with 45K miles. It goes blank or won't come on. Without this display working properly, driver cannot see any warning such as, door open, tire pressure or any important warnings. The vehicle is drivable but the warning dash on the speedometer doesn't work.

I was driving on I-65 in indianapolis, in traffic, when my engine abruptly shut off and the ignition mode switched from run to acc. This caused me to lose all propulsion power and I was forced to cross lanes to get over to the right shoulder. Luckily, I was still a mile or two from the upcoming construction zone, which would have prevented me from being able to pull off onto a shoulder. Because the engine had shut off while the truck was moving, the computer system is programmed to shift the transmission into park, but because I was going 70mph on the highway (>5mph according to my user manual), it just alerted me that my engine was off and that I was in acc mode. After parking the truck on the shoulder with hazards on, I turned the engine off and waited a few seconds before trying to start it again. When I pressed the brake and the ignition button, the truck started up immediately, like normal, but then 2 seconds later it cut out again with the same run-to-acc mode switch. This happened 6-7 more times before the truck somehow stayed on run. I checked the engine and my fluids for anything odd, but mechanically, the truck was fine. No check engine or warning lights ever came on. The computer system didn't recognize that anything was wrong other than the initial indication. I was able to get home without issues after that, but when I went to turn the engine off, I couldn't. the ignition button had stopped responding. I tried all of the user manual's methods to turn it off, but nothing worked. This vehicle doesn't have a manual key ignition override, just the fob and keyless button, neither of which could turn the engine off. The fob's remote start/shutoff didn't work either. In the end, I had to disconnect the battery to force the engine and computer system to turn off. I'm taking it into the local dealer, via tow if it won't start again, to figure out what happened.

Power steering failure at 17000 miles while stationary. I took it to the dealership and they said they could only recreate it once and were unable to fix it. After 2 weeks, they had me pick it up. 3 days later, it happened again while I was backing out of the gas station.

Touchscreen controls for radio, climate, and all other controls do not work properly. Any and all elements of touchscreen will power on and off from ac to heat to radio stations to random phone dialing. Also the vehicle will shut down while driving as if the gear shifter has been placed in neutral. Truck will not accelerate and remote start doesn't work either. Left rear passenger window seal near bed of truck also leaks water when it rains.

Water (rain, car wash, etc) is leaking through the rear power sliding window and into the vehicle and damaging the interior (headliner, seats). This is a known issue by Ram/fca and they have not recalled them yet. This can be a safety issue when driving. I'm also concerned that if water sits inside of the liner can it cause mold to form" also can it short out any electrical to the window" when I noticed it happen to me the vehicle was parked.

The truck has been intermittently experiencing loss of power steering. This situation has been happening after I stop the truck. Has happened 2 times now. Makes it extremely dangerous to drive and or maneuver to get to a safety spot. Also when this happens, it loses lane, departure adaptive cruise control, assisted braking & most electronic safety features.

For the second time in 3 months, while I was driving down the highway all my dash lights just came on and my truck started to accelerate on its own even with both feet off both pedals. Traction light, ABS light, parking light, throttle sensor light, and check engine light all stay on. (have picture and video) passenger side headlight also stopped working. Took to Ram dealership October I believe and they said PCM needed an update and they did that. Also replaced whole passenger headlight housing. Well yesterday December 15th same thing happened and I almost got into a wreck. Lights came on so I went to brake and pull over, nothing happened. Truck actually accelerated on its own from 40mph to 60mph. Took to dealership first thing this morning and they said they have no record of fixing any of these issues... wanted me to leave my truck for an unknown amount of time and but they couldn't get me a loaner or anything to get me to work. Said there was nothing they can do until I have time to leave it, pretty [xxx] so now im driving an unsafe truck on the highway to and from work. Kids and wife also drive/ride in this truck. (it wont let me upload the video) information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
