I was driving at night when my wipers activated at full speed on there own causing my trucks horn and blinkers to stop working. I was with my wife and 2 children when this occurred causing my wife and I to feel very uncomfortable. Driving with this issue for an extended period. This is not the first time it has occurred Anna my truck only has 38,000 miles but this is the first time of it activating at night which is what made it that much worse and what ultimately got me to go to the dealer to have it looked at. I took it in and they determined it was the clockwork-steering column control mod. I have already gone ahead and paid for the parts which are back ordered and waiting on repairs.When this incident occurred I did not see or notice any prior warnings. Once I received the information of the issue I did research and found that trucks of the same year And model have been been recalled for this issue, however I did not see mine listed when I ran the vin. My truck has had 6 other safety recalls and I believe this is another recall that should be addressed.

What owners say
Wiper fluid supply lines disconnect, halting fluid from reaching windshield. Reconnecting manually does not maintain the connection. Mine have separated at different connectors multiple times.
The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2019 Ram 2500. The contact stated that while driving 60 MPH in rainy weather, the windshield wipers became inoperable, causing the contact to slow down significantly to exit the expressway. The contact was able to drive to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the totally integrated power module (TIPM) had failed, causing the body control module (BCM) to fail. The dealer replaced the TIPM and BCM. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.
The wipers run randomly or in some cases when it's raining the fail to run.
When the A/C is on in any vent mode the cooled air escapes through the front defrost and condensates the windshield constantly having to turn on the wipers to clear the windshield.
