The driver sun visor pivot arm broke while driving in very heavy traffic, and merging lanes. This cause my view forward to be complete blocked for several seconds until I could get it back into a position to successfully fold it back to its storage position. During this time I could not see any traffic, and had to turn my attention to the sun visor so to return my view of the highway. In my opinion, this put me and other drivers at risk because of 1) the period of time to remove the visor from blocking my sight, and 2) the inability to use this safety feature when it is needed. I have a video of the sun visor and how it blocked my view, but cannot upload it. Please observe closely the plastic where the sun visor retention happens, and broke. Without a design change, this will happen again. I have owned this vehicle 21 months at the time of the incident described above.

Leaving work remote start did not work as it normally did. Started with the key noticed the the red flashing lightning bolt. Shortly after the truck jerked like I was hit from behind the RPMs were all over the place. I shut the truck off started again still flashing lightning bolt traction control light was on and other messages were popping up. Service air bag service throttle control ect. Rpms were up and down on its own. Let it run foe 10 minutes shut it off started again same thing it took 1 hour before I got the light to turn off. I drove it home it ran funny like it didn't want to shift and at a stoplight with foot on the break the RPM s were still all over the place. And again the truck lurched like I was hit from behind. I made it home parked the truck called the dealership asked for a diagnostics to be done as I had an appointment for oil change and tire rotation scheduled. Service department sid there were active codes and ice buildup on the throttle body. They said there was not a fix for this and to make sure the truck gets up to temp to burn off the moisture. My drive to work is 30 minutes and I let the truck warmup t9 temp before I drive it Everytime. It has happened consistently causing me to be late for work this is a big PROBLEM and unexceptionable as it is unsafe to have a truck lurch forward on its own. Having a newer truck with 15000 miles and the best warranty availability I would think RAM would stand behind their product and make it safe and dependable. But I was told by the service department this is a known problem that RAM does not have a fix for. Trucks 2023 and older have a fix not the 2024 and newer. Being late for work because if this is not acceptable either when it takes an hour for the light to go off to be out of limp mode as well. December 16 January 12 and 13 January 30-31 Service department recommended putting heat in my garage or installing a block heater but wernt sure if either would fix the issue.
