“On 8 different occasions, just this week alone, the braking assist engaged while backing up out of a driveway. Each time, there was nothing behind me and I wasn't on a steep incline. It happened 3 times back to back, and the other 5 times independently. Each time, it seriously hurt my and my passengers necks.”
NHTSA complaint #11240211, filed 2019-07, 4,000 miles“The instrument cluster went black. The parking sensors data does not display. The mileage does not display. The temperature and oil pressure do not display.”
NHTSA complaint #11397974, filed 2021-02, 22,000 miles“My 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel has recurring electrical/communication failures that occur every day. The truck repeatedly displays “ParkSense Temporarily Unavailable,” “Service Shifter,” “Service Tire Pressure System,” and “Tire Pressure Unavailable.” The ParkSense sensors often do not activate at all, leaving me without parking assistance while backing up. The system also repeatedly pings with warnings throughout the day. When “Service Shifter” appears, the truck shifts roughly and the transmission does not feel like it is shifting correctly. …”
NHTSA complaint #11758914, filed 2026-08“I am receiving a warning light that reads: Service Shifter, Park sense not available, warning with no display, and the vehicle shifts from drive to neutral with a display message to put the truck in Park then shift to Drive while in motion. My safety is put at risk because when driving I have no warning the vehicle is going to shift itself into neutral and vehicles are driving behind me. I have to make a complete stop because I cannot accelerate in neutral. It has happened twice on a busy street in my city. …”
NHTSA complaint #11607656, filed 2024-08“The instrument cluster often does not illuminate upon startup and as a result, the odometer, speed, parking sensors among other things do not alert me in the display. Some times upon starting the vehicle it starts up fine, other times it does not light up for a few minutes/miles than turns on, or does not turn on at all. There is currently a recall for this same issue V83 for 2019 Ram 1500's, which is what I own, but I am told that my VIN was not listed in the recall. There is a lot of chatter online with others describing the same issue. …”
