The contact owns a 2022 Ram 1500. The contact stated that there was condensation accumulating in the rear taillights. The contact stated that the vehicle recently experienced electrical failures with the power window switch not raising or lowering the windows as needed. The contact stated that the radio and several other electrical gauges were inoperable. The contact stated that the 115-Volt Cargo outlet warning light was blinking. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that water had accumulated through the taillight assemblies and caused a short circuit of the rear right BUS system. The contact stated that the dealer dried out the taillights and all the wiring harnesses were reinstalled with the rear taillight assemblies. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that there was condensation accumulating again in the taillights. The contact stated that the Blind Spot warning light had flashed and then turned off. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.
This report pertains to the lighting system of the vehicle, specifically the parking light mode of the lighting system. When stopped at a dark, unlight turn out, with the engine turned off, I turned the head light control switch from "automatic" to the parking light position to ensure visibility of the vehicle to other drivers approaching/entering the turn out. I confirmed via reflection that the lights had turned on. Later, when I exited the vehicle to retrieve belongings from the back, I noticed that the lights were no longer on. I switched the light control to the off position, and back to the parking light mode, which activated the lights. I noticed an indicator on the dash. However within a few minutes, the lights were again switched off by the vehicle, the only notification being the absence of an indicator light on that dash. This unexpected, automated behavior put myself and others at risk, by reducing the visibility of my vehicle to other drivers near (but not on) a dark highway. This specific issue has not been brought to the attention to service personnel, as it appears consistent with other non safety critical lighting behavior which has been reviewed and deemed functioning as designed. There are no error codes or other diagnostic indicators present related to this issue.
The infotainment center will go blank and do a reset while driving, it does not store radio presets for long. Most concerning, I-??ve been backing out of my garage when the garage lighting has been turned off and when the vehicles sensors detect a darker surrounding and adjust the dash and infotainment center light level, the infotainment center goes dark for a while and does it-??s reset thing thus not having a backup camera until it has had time to reset.
Headlights are frosted up under 20 degrees Fahrenheit. A frost line appears and will not disappear without cleaning. Then it reappears again. I have never experienced this before with any vehicle. Dims the already dim front headlights, not good for safe driving practices.

This vehicle was purchased on 03/09/3022. After the purchased I start noticing the following. The light indicator on, vehicle stopped while driving, the motor idling, the radio data compromised, the horn blowing by itself, the tire indicator constantly comes on, and the mileage rotates while vehicle is sits. I-??ve taken the truck to the dealership which malware was abstracted from the vehicle; which fixed everything but, it returned remotely. Additionally, while driving on the freeway, the vehicle stopped in the middle of the freeway!
