When driving, RPM just under 4 and truck slows down abruptly X 2. today, driving on highway, cruise set, tapped brakes as I was nearing roadside construction, all of a sudden rpms nearing 4, truck abruptly slowed to 15mph. Pulled over on side of road X 2. error msg 'shifter autocorrect active' the second time. The truck remained in D until turning it off. I turned truck off @ this point hoping I could drive rest of way home. It seemed to fix/reset itself. This is now twice this has done this. I am taking the truck in to be looked at tomorrow. This is not safe for myself, my family or even fellow drivers. I would have had video but I was nervous on side of highway with narrow pull off with semis barreling past me.

2 cracks in the window frame above the rear sliding window have appeared. The truck was parked in my driveway. There was no incident that would have caused these and they appear to have formed on their own. I fear that there may have been leaks or will be leaks as other owners have experienced.

Vehicle has a "shimmy" at highway speeds, several dealerships have inspected the vehicle and agree that there is a "shimmy" but cannot find anything wrong with the vehicle. Tires have been balanced, replaced. Nothing makes a difference.

I was backing out of my driveway two days ago and the truck switched to the park position on its own while I was reversing and it would not get out of the park position even after I pressed the brakes and I tried to move the shift knob, so I was stuck in the middle of the street for five minutes trying to get the truck to move to the reverse position again. Today, I was driving to the store and the truck switched to park position on its own and came to a stop while I was driving. The engine was revving up and I pressed the brakes to switch it back to park and it would not let me switch. After a minute I turned the truck off and turned it back on to try and put it back in the drive position so I could get out of the middle of the road. Can someone please help with any information, I'm afraid that this will occur again and cause an accident.

Both sun visors brackets break and causes the sunvisor to fall in front of the drivers face when you hit a bump blocking your vision. Both sun visors brackets that screw into the ceiling break loose inside the bracket and causes the visor to fall down vertically blocking the drivers vision. In taking the vehicle to the dealer, they had to backorder the item (30 days backorder) this might be a clue that this is a common problem.

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.

I am wanting to file a claim on a 2019 Ram 1500 for a defective rear window. This is a known issue that fca has refused to acknowledge or resolve. The rear window frame is weak and cracks around the rear sliding glass. With these cracks, there is potential for water to leak into the cab of the vehicle. There are also issues with cracks and leaking around other areas of the rear window frame. This may be due to a faulty seal when manufactured. My fear is that this will cause mold to develop behind as well as on my rear seats causing potential harm to not only my vehicle, but myself and family. I also do not want potential damage to important electrical components that are located behind and under the rear seat. My truck is out of warranty, and I understand that there isn't much fca will do, I just hope that pressure is put on them to improve and develop a better design to prevent this issue. I would also like to see fca extend an olive branch so to speak to the customers who have this issue by either replacing the part, or covering a portion of the repair cost for those that are in or out of warranty.

My rear window upper trim cracked and started leaking on my 2019 Ram 1500(new body style). I took to my local dealership and after it sat out in the weather for 3 weeks and had extensive water intrusion to the point of so much moisture in vehicle the windows would condensate on inside, I decided to take to the dealer I purchased at. Issue is still not resolved 1 month later. Nobody seems to care or listen to my concerns. Not to mention how much water damage do I have at this point??

Rear window has began to crack from the inside and a lot of water comes in to the rear. My seats get wet and also the carpet of the truck. Starting to smell and might have mold. The headliner also gets water. My concern is that it may build up mold throughout time. Fca is unwilling to replace the window outside of the bumper to bumper warranty even though this is a major issue for the 5th generation Ram and there are many others that have come across this issue. They have also knowledge of this and have sent out a letter to their service teams (see picture). The water can come in when left outside during a rain storm or simply going thru the car wash. Any water that hits the roof of the truck and goes to the back will eventually make it through the rear window crack and inside the truck.
