Consumer Description

The vehicle lost power, and all of the service lights on the dashboard started lighting up, wipers turned on and off by themselves, headlights turned on and off. Most of the messages stated that service was required on AWD, shifter, parking assist, power steering, brakes...etc. The truck wasn't picking up speed and started shaking. At some point, I felt like the brakes were NOT responding. I was 2 minutes away from home, so I drove home and parked it. I found a few other 5th generation Ram owners online with the same issue. However, I just hit 40k miles on the car, and the basic warranty only covers until 30k miles. If this is a common problem, why isn't there a recall to fix the problem before someone crashes their truck, hurt themselves, or hurt someone else. This only adds to the water leaking from the back window problem.
