2020 Ram 1500 Electrical system Problems

“So I am driving on the freeway 70mph and I get a message on my dash that says service shifter then every single light on the dash came on and started to make a beeping noise. I pulled over on the side of the freeway and then all the lights dissappear except check engine. I continued to drive to next exit and this time all lights came on again and truck appeared to be shutting off and turning back on while driving, steering wheel got hard to move all while all lights turning on, on dash. …”

“The right turning signal indicator will randomly operate without being manipulated. The signal can not be turned off easily. Sometimes turning the control to the left signal position will turn off the indicator. Sometimes randomly manipulating the control through its mechanical limits will turn off the indicator. There is no logic or obvious vehicle condition that causes this random operation. I think it's an issue with interference with other vehicle wifi systems in close proximity interfering with my vehicle bus control systems. …”

“While driving my 2020 Ram 1500 laramie with only 5k miles on the odometer, I stopped behind a school bus. The truck's start/stop feature activated as it normally does and the engine shut off. I pressed the dashboard button to de-activate the start/stop feature for the remainder of the trip. When I did this, a loud electrical spark sound occurred and the truck completely died in the roadway. All power was lost, I could not even activate the hazard lights. There was a strong odor of something burning in the cabin. No smoke was visible, though. …”

“I was driving in the highway at 65mph while steering power shut off and warning on dash came on saying power steering was disengaged. I pulled off the highway shut vehicle off checked under hood and nothing. Got back on vehicle started it and warning had gone away and steering was ok. Drove for about 10 miles and it happened again. I was told to drive vehicle to dealer and they said it was a problem with the battery. Vehicle was in shop for a day. They called and said problem was fixed. I left the dealer, drive 40 miles and it happened again. Took it back. …”

“Engine stalls and the emergency break engages while at a stop. The truck (a 2020 Ram 1500 limited, 5.7 hemi e-torque) has about 700 miles on it and this has happened about 8 times. The first 3, 4 times the dash message said something about the hood being opened (it wasn't). The last couple of times the dash message says something like ...service not available. I haven't been able to take a photo because the messages disappear rather quickly and I have to worry about re-starting the vehicle asap because I'm stuck in traffic with cars behind me. The truck re-starts as normal and I'm on my way. …”
