UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I took my vehicle in to the dealer for a safety recall related to the ABS control module. Apparently it was software related and they said they would update the software. After the update a "Marketing Notification" shows up on my screen upon engine start and engine shutdown. It says Discover AppMarket! In-vehicle marketplace for Learning, Gaming & Connected Services. Tap Apps-Other-AppMarket-Games & Digital Store. Call 800-777-3600 for questions or if you choose to opt out of these messages. This is unbelievably criminal.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I had an single vehicle accident while visiting Oregon that I have not been able to explain. I have a 2023 Ram Eco Diesel that has a newly issued recall for the Electronic Stability Control failing. My vehicle left the road way and down an embankment after braking for some Wildlife crossing. When I applied the brakes my vehicle went off the left side of the road. The brakes never locked up. After the accident occurred my Electronic Stability Control warning light stayed on, and my Four Wheel Drive unavailable warning light came on as well. My Truck is still undecided as to weather it is totaled or not. It is sitting in a local repair shop waiting on further diagnosis. I had the accident in late August (XXX) and this new ESC recall was sent out and received in early October (03). I think my accident has now been explained. I am having some minor back pain, neck pain and dizziness from my neck stiffness but do not feel painfully injured. But this accident has caused me a whole lot of aggravation. I had to leave my travel trailer in Oregon. I had to pay storage for my travel trailer for a year. $1000. I had to pay for enough repairs to get my vehicle home. $500. I am without a vehicle for, well, nobody knows how long. I will be sending a copy of the recall to my State Farm Claims team. Can I file a lawsuit against Stallantis? (Ram)? Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES
I was in downtown Atlanta traffic, moving around 10 miles per hour. The truck suddenly shut off and applied the parking brake. Once restarted the battery light was displayed on the dash. This has happened approximately 10-12 times in the last year. I was lucky this one did not result in an accident. Please help in getting Ram to realize there is a problem. Thank you!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Check engine light blinks on and off intermittently, vehicle shakes and feels as if it’s going to stall. From time to time when going to accelerate I pulled out on a main roads and the vehicle lost all power my kids and I flew forward. While idling at a red light, the vehicle started to shake as if it was going to stall and jerked forward and hit the car in front of me. I brought this to the attention of the dealer. I purchased it from and They stated they cannot find any issues. I have pictures and videos of the check engine light coming on in intermittently. I also called when it lost power, pulling into the intersection. This all should be recorded with Jerry Ulm dealer in Tampa.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Four times the truck has powered down while driving - all were when slowing to turn. No prior warning lights or out-of-spec conditions - battery level reading normal prior to shutdown. Truck shut down the engine automatically. Restarting the truck prompted the battery light but no check-engine light. Emergency brake auto-deployed, stopping the car. In all cases I was stopped in traffic (most recently while crossing a highway), but no accidents. Truck is currently at dealership for diagnostics - preliminary code investigation appears related to the auto-start system causing the engine to shut down. Per dealer, they require input from RAM engineering.

ENGINE
Twice I have pulled out into traffic and the engine lost all power and I was almost rear ended by another vehicle. After a few seconds the engine recovered and was driving normal. I’ve taken it to the dealer where it was purchased twice for this issue but they say they can’t duplicate the issue. No warning lamps ever came up.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Turn signal is not cancelling after turning. Brough vehicle back to dealership and they did not have the part to fix it and never called me back. Looked in the NHTSA recall listing and saw that issues with turn signals have been previously reported under 23V799000. What can I do?

STEERING
While driving I was making a left hand turn to another roadway. All of a sudden I was unable to make the turn because my steering went completely out. I had to make an immediate stop, if not I would have driven into the ditch. Had there been oncoming traffic this steering failure could have caused a fatal accident. The dash warning lite was activated, message was power steering failure. I had the truck towed to the dealership. After two weeks the dealer called and said the electric power steering failed and a new unit would need to be installed. I was told it could be several months before they get a replacement unit in. The vehicle has approximately 1700 miles and I purchased it new approximately 8 months a go. This is certainly a major safety issue that could cause a fatal collision.
