Making a right hand turn into school parking lot at 7:11 am this morning the engine died, steering went stiff and emergence parking break set. Almost caused a very serious accident with injury's to multiple minors. Was moving 11 MPH with my foot on the brake into the right turn, when I let off the brake the engine died. The cluster screen told me to place the vehicle into park and release the emergency brake.

Backed out of garage, rolled down driveway and turned left onto my street. Drove about a tenth of a mile to the stop sign, pretty easy with light gas since truck was still warming up. Rolled slowly (2-3) mph to make a right turn lightly feathering the gas and 3/4 through the turn pressed a little more on the gas and truck died. Just before it came to a stop, the parking brake engaged and a message on screen said to place vehicle in park. Engine started back up after I came to a stop and put it in park. No codes or other messages displayed. If I was pulling on to a busy street there would have been a very high chance that I would have been hit. 2021 Ram 1500 hemi etorque with 800 miles on it.

Driving vehicle about 2 mph, taking a right turn - vehicle stalled out and emergency brake light came on. Was able to restart pts ignition without issue, then drive again. Truck has 600+ miles current. Found other Ram owners on 5thgenrams.com forums stating they are experiencing same issue, so I am concerned. This happened once, but others are saying it has happened multiple times to them.

Pulled out of neighborhood onto main road in 2021 Ram 1500 limited. Truck turned itself off while in motion pulling out as if the power button was pressed. No engine noise or error codes on display. Display only said shift to park as it was rolling to a stop, and once I shifted to park, the emergency brake automatically engaged itself. I disengaged the parking brake and pushed to start and the vehicle immediately cranked back up, and drove without problem and still no error code. I have will be taking the vehicle to a dealer today to have it looked at, but this is beyond dangerous and could have been a serious accident if it would have been a busy highway I was pulling onto.

Vehicle turned off and had to be restarted as I was switching from break to gas after stopping at a stop sign. I had to restart the vehicle in the middle of the intersection. Radio and all instrument lights remained on. No error lights came on. This has happened on 4 separate days, weeks apart at different locations and under different weather conditions.

This model is equipped with automatic side steps. The steps deploy when they want and most of the time they do not deploy. They also when deployed and after exiting the vehicle and locking it sometimes will not stow back under the vehicle. They also will remain deployed when you enter the vehicle and will stow when you reach the safety speed of approximately 5mph before stowing. I noticed this problem within a week of purchasing the vehicle and as of this date (4/13/21) have had the vehicle at the dealership (hill kelly Ram, pensacola, fl) six times to repair the problem. I have videoed the problem and they have been able to reproduce the problem. They have replaced door latches, door modules and controllers with no fix found yet. They have scheduled an appointment with the district engineer to try and troubleshoot the problem. I have been told that they have a known problem with the automatic steps. The only temporary fix we have found is if the steps do not deploy to close the door and then immediately open it, then the steps will deploy. This problem is affecting both the driver and passenger side. It doesn't matter if it is the front or rear door that is opened. It will also give a warning of the side steps obstructed on the drivers dash display.

I purchased my 2021 Ram 1500 limited night edition on March 11, 2021. It was new. Within 3 weeks and less than 1,000 miles of driving the vehicle stalled twice while in the middle of an intersection. The fuel tank was full and the engine was warm each time. The first time around March 17 I was alone in the car. I stopped at a stop sign and then depressed the gas pedal and as I turned to the right the car stalled. No error message came up. I stopped the car. Turned the gear shift knob to P and pressed the start/stop button twice and the truck started back up. 10 days later with my family in the car the same thing happened. I was at a stop sign, then pressed on the gas and made a left turn this time and the car stalled. Again, fortunately no one was coming because my family and I could have been seriously injured or killed because we were in the middle of the road and someone could have T-boned us. The car has been with the dealer for a week and they tell me they have not been able to discover anything. There were no error messages and they have not reproduced the problem. I am writing to put this on the record in case anything happens to us.

I parked my truck, shut off the engine, and exited and went inside. I was walking my dog several minutes later and seemed to notice my truck moving backwards. I saw the fresh tracks in the snow in front of my truck and realized that it was rolling backward on my driveway. I got in, pressed the brakes to stop the rolling and tried cycling the power. My keys were inside so I rushed in to get them and then back to the truck. It started without changing the shift selector knob, so it had definitely been requested to engage park.
