Anyone else seeing this issue? I am hoping that it is related to the current recall. These 4 issues started popping up recently without any warning. I didn't notice any issues while driving but I fear something might give out. I saw some post about people having their power steering going out, and some other random issues. This has happened 4 times in the past 2 days. IMG_20190214_122516.jpg IMG_20190214_122514.jpg IMG_20190214_122511.jpg IMG_20190214_122452.jpg IMG_20190214_122451.jpg

No. But I'd be getting that into the dealer ASAP if those are all showing on your screen. Have you had an auto parts store check the codes is throwing?

It randomly turns on and then off while I'm driving. I have an connector and might check it tonight when i get home and see if it is throwing any errors.

I have a service call next monday.

Just plugged in the OBD2 connector and I did not see any error codes being generated. I am not a professional with OBD2 but from the software I was using i did see an error code on my wife's car (nissan) so i know it registers some error codes. Anyway can't wait to hear the dealer tell me its a non issue since there are no error codes.

Front wheel speed sensor is what the dealership is replacing. We will see if it resolves the problem.

wow that is sad hopefully they fix it. i tink the worse part of the situation is that you have your kid with u in the car i be yelling at someone and possibly going to jail because when it comes to the safety of my kid f that.

if its been more then 3 times in the shop get a good lemon law attorney and see if you can trade it in and get your money back and get another truck

my f250 started to give me issues and the las time it left me dead on the side of the road so i went in an traded for a ram i still miss my bus, put a whole lot of $$$$$$$ into it.

my ram will get some tlc also

Hello! I have a 2020 ram limited and this happened to me today. Well similar.
The stability control light came one and in the messages it tells me to service it and then the check engine light came on too.
I didn’t feel like I lost control or anything. Did they fix your problem?

This fixed it for me. Haven't had the issue since.

I am having this issue now on my 2019 Laramie Longhorn.. The dealer had the truck for 2 days, troubleshooting it with Chrysler and ended up ordering a new DTCM that is on international back order. I have my truck back, while I am waiting for the part, but its driving like crap because my engine light is also on. Seems like anything with the electrical system can trip all of these lights.. Wondering if it is something as simple as a bad cable or sensor.. Did you also have a check engine light?

International backorder during Covid??? Should be like a 6-8 month wait then...smh. Another reason for the need of more "made in USA" lol

I just had this happen yesterday on start up. I backed out of parking and by the time I got to the stop sign 100 yards away the warnings had cleared. I've got just under 16,000 miles on my truck, will definitely keep an eye on it.

mine did this as well, I even set up my dash cam to try to catch it happening while driving, so I did get a few screen shots..usually resolve itself after several minutes. went to dealer, couldn't duplicate and said to keep an eye on it. I tightened battery and ground cables myself, and re-seated PCM connectors under hood. Not sure if it did anything, hasn't happened since knock on wood

just checking back guys..has anyone successfully had this issue resolved? I continually get service ESC, service ABS, and can scan a bunch of U0140 (lost comm with bcm) codes in several vehicle modules. Usually disconnect my battery overnight, and sometimes the truck will be fine for several weeks before acting up again.

IDK if you see OPs post a few posts up.
His got fixed by dealer replacing front wheel speed sensor.

My truck in the shop . First time they scan code said it was the Rh rear speed sensor, got the truck back and in 600 Miles all errors on dash came back with multi codes still reporting as rh speed sensor. Waiting for dealership to give me an update
