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. I am concerned this could indicate an electrical or communication problem affecting the electronic shifter, transmission operation, gear selection, or vehicle control. The truck also has an ongoing water leak around the rear window, including the upper portion and near the sliding window. The electrical problems appear worse during high humidity, although they have also occurred during winter. I am concerned that water intrusion could cause corrosion, electrical shorts, module damage, or other safety hazards. A reputable independent repair shop inspected the vehicle and identified a U-code communication fault. The problems continue to occur daily. I am concerned about the risk of a collision from losing ParkSense, potential transmission/gear-selection problems, and water-related electrical damage. I am requesting that the federal safety agency investigate whether these recurring failures represent a safety defect affecting 2019 Ram 1500 vehicles. The vehicle is available for inspection.

The truck went into park from drive on its own . The emergency brake was also activated after going into park. The shifter knob kept switching from drive into park every time I slowed down at a light or stop sign.

When driving the truck the power steering would go out and make the truck almost impossible to turn. This is dangerous when driving as you cannot turn, avoid a collision, etc. I've had vehicles without power steering, and this was like the truck is actively pulling against you when trying to turn. The dealership did a diagnostic and said the power steering rack (electronic) needs to be replaced completely as it's going out. I'm not sure if it's related, but I've had other issues before this where my lane assist and cruise control would flash while in use and all turn off while driving down the road as well. There was no obvious check engine light or codes for this, just the occasional shutting off of my systems and power steering while operating the vehicle.

The power folding mirrors have plastic gears in them that strip out. Once the gears are stripped out the mirrors are loose and can fold in while traveling due to the wind.
