This 2019 Ram 1500 has serious problems. It should not be allowed to be driven on the road ever again. I would fear for my own life along with other people on the road. While driving my 2019 Ram electronics through out the vehicle began to fail. This was while driving 70 mph on the freeway. Power steering, shifter gear, electronic stability control, airbags, 4WD system, traction control system, ABS system, auto brake system all failed at once. No headlights no brake lights and no turn signals. The dashboard even shut off. This is a serious nightmare and a danger to everyone. This is the second time this has happened with my vehicle and only was driven 20 miles after is was supposedly fixed. They replaced the ECM. I believe that if a less experienced driver was driving the vehicle it for sure would have ended up in a accident. At this time Chrysler and snethkamp cdjr cannot figure out what the exact issue is to repair the vehicle

The main head unit lost sound and I have done some research and there have been multiple people with the same issue I have restarted my truck multiple times with no luck the sound was working just the night before I was at a stand still originally then started driving on a city road. There have been multiple complaints on forums for the 2019 doing that and hopefully they can figure out a solution to fix it a lot of people have said to unplug fuses but I shouldn't have to I spend the money on a truck at astronomical rate and expect it to work.

Power steering went out multiple times. Would work after restarting truck then go out again. Took it to the dealership to fix then went back out again after servicing. Also have other service messages for suspension and lane control. Check engine light came in after being serviced twice. Truck is now in the shop for the 4th time with more electrical issues. It throws new codes everytime. Lastest codes: Implausible data received from tcm, calibration mismatch, implausible data received from rf hud and from radio, battery voltage circuit voltage below threshold, implausible data received from cruise control switch, edu not initialized, implausible/missing transmission message.

Vehicle gets stuck when shifting from park to drive as if electronic parking brake is engaged, though it is not. Tapping the gas pedal then sends the vehicle jolting forward in an extremely unsafe manner.

While driving in dallas over the weekend, the trucks power steering became unavailable. Happening at slow speeds through a residential area. The truck was stopped, turned off then started again and it came back. For a 6 mile drive, this is how the truck acted. Once it was left parked for 3 hours, it started and ran fine. The following morning while driving down the interstate at 75 miles per hour, the power steering became unavailable yet again. This lasted for over 19 miles, but finally came back.

While driving my work today I was taking a left turn and my power steering stopped working. My car had the power steering light pop up and also my screen in my gauge clustered said, "power steering unavailable service required." I literally almost crashed into a huge electrical pole. Due to my steering while becoming extremely stiff. My current milage is 2270.6 miles. About a minute later my power steering came back and my truck was fine. While parking my truck at work in the parking lot about 5 min. After the first failure my power steering failed again but came back within seconds. On the way home from work tonight my power steering failed and didn't come back for about 8mins/several miles. My power steering continues to fail then come back to normal then fail again. The vehicle was in motion and on a city street. This occurs randomly while turning and or going straight.

I purchased the truck on 10/4/2019. On 10/6/2019 was delivered to my house. After going over the features the sales representative left. I tried backing the truck out of the drive way the truck would not back up because of the brake sensor system. The buttons to control the functions on the steering wheel did not work as well. I took the car to the dealership that same day. It's been siting there unrepaiired. The deal ship says they are unsure of the problem and have opened a ' star case' with Dodge manufacture. I have called everyday asking for updates they say they don't have any news or updates.
