While in stop and go traffic my foot was easing off of brake to role forward. The vehicle began a rapid acceleration. I was able to for the brake pedal down but rear tires began spinning and rpm shot up. Applied left foot on brake pedal and with all my strength pressed brake. The vehicle moved forward almost impacting car in front. I was able to angle vehicle while braking without collision. The rear tires were spinning and smoking while occurring. Total event lasted a couple seconds but seemed like eternity. No damage but very concerned and wary of vehicle operation. Believe related to the etorque system! If I was in school zone may have resulted in catastrophic consequences and loss of life. Needs immediate attention! Vehicle has been recovered by ram dealership for testing.

I recently purchased my first ram truck on 1/11/24. On the morning of 1/15/24 monday, I was leaving my work and as I tried to turn on my truck, it would not turn due to battery being dead. So, I asked coworker of mine to give me a jump. After 10 minutes or so, trunk was on but it had engine and abs, and trailer brake light on. I only had put on 277 miles at that time. Truck seems to make some random noises when driving. Also, when trying to trying to jump the truck it takes this lound sound in the speaker.

Took delivery of new truck (2024 Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie) on September 25th. On September 26th, while backing into a parking space, the engine cut off and multiple error lights illuminated (including check engine light). I was able to re-start the vehicle and back into the space. Dealer investigated, determined that a fuse was loose. On October 14th, while pulling into a shopping center road, the engine shut off and the same series of error lights, including the check engine light, illuminated. When the engine cut off (including the first time) power steering is lost, and the vehicle becomes very difficult to steer. If I had been pulling into a main road, I would have been at very significant risk of collision with any oncoming vehicles. I was able to re-start the vehicle and take it back to the dealer for investigation. Losing engine power while pulling forward is quite dangerous.
