2019 Ram 1500 lights complaints

The connector for the Trailer is located in a location that in the wrong place, the cable from all RVs and trailers is located at the left side of the hitch, so in order to attach the cable you need to stretch the cable and got loose when you turn, you need to get out and reconnect. Since the cable got disconnected the emergency brake of the camper got activated and after that things go to the wrong way, some tires explode for overheating, in other cases the trailer just got loose.
There is a known problem with ram headlights developing condensation within the headlight assembly. This is a problem as too much condensation can cause shorts and/or permanent damage to electronics. With standard halogen bulbs, the worst case is to replace the bulb and try to remove moisture and prevent future condensation build up. The problem with led lights, and especially pourly designed headlights with led modules on the underside so any moisture falls into the module and ruins it. This is a major saftey concern as your headlights can go out at anytime without warning and potentially cause both to go out at similarly times as condensation build up is a factor of the weather. Furthermore, with the led headlight module being on bottom of the headlight where the moisture build up is strongest, it shorts out the module so you loose all lights within the headlight. This is extremely dangerous for all vehicles and pedestrians in the area as all lights can go out without warning, likely resulting in a wreck. This issue has been brought to ram before, you can easily find many forums of ram owners having this issue. A few people have had their headlights replaced by ram, but the majority of people have not. Also, the people who have had their headlights replaced, received the same headlights as factory lights, so they may have the same issues in the future.
The instrument panel one day a few months prior began to go dark and cease to function intermittently. Specifically the digital sections. It has since progressed to never working. This has created a risk as I can no longer receive system information or warnings as a result. Specifically I was unaware that an object in the road severely punctured one of my tires and I had lost all pressure until a concerned driver informed me. There have been no warning lamps leading up to this problem prior to its occurrence and it can 100% be replicated as it hasn’t worked since the last time it went dark. It has not been inspected yet as I have been trying to determine the cause for repair. Everything can be made available for inspection upon request.
The direction signals will only work when taking a right turn. The signal stalk will not return to the neutral position and the signal will not shut off after making a right turn. In order to shut off the right signal, I must pull the signal stalk to the left turn position. However, the left turn signal will not operate. Further when making a right turn the signal will begin operating even though I have not engaged the turn signal. The truck is only 38 months old, with only 18,600 miles on it. The turn signal is a lifetime part and should last decades and hundreds of thousands of miles. It is dangerous to operate the vehicle in traffic especially at night as I cannot signal a left turn. I took it to the dealer, but the service agent wanted me to pay $145 just to diagnose the problem and then parts and labor. The vehicle is just beyond the 36-month warranty, but at only 18,600 miles, the dealer should repair this as it is a safety issue.
The headlights will flicker. Coming off a stop the parking break would flash as a failure and not available. Goes on and off along with a few lights on the dash.
In october 2019, the uconnect system in my 2019 ram 1500 began to malfunction. It started with GPS coordinates being misaligned to my current location, but quickly progressed to malfunctioning in all aspects of the system. On december 30, 2019, the entire system failed, rendering a black screen and no ability to control the critical functions in the vehicle (maintenance, lighting, climate, or safety cameras). Without the uconnect system, it is impossible to modify any of the setting for the vehicle.

The rear center brake light apparently leaks into the cabin. This is a common 1500 2019 problem. It leaks into the ceiling surrounding air bags and other electronics. How is this not already recalled? It leaks constantly so how can one tell when it occurs?
On 11-21-19 traveling at 6:00 a.m. In the dark, pushed the wiper arm to turn on my high beams, the information screen flashed "high beams disabled" they have not worked since. Vehicle was in motion. I have tried turning fog lights off, this made no difference.
Standard halogen lighting not adequate and is a safety concern. Have reached out to ram corporate for customer assistance and have been denied.
