I wonder if it is tune related. It happened with my SFT tune and now with my MRT tune.
I wouldn't think it would be tune related. Are you tuned?
No nothing

My 2019 with 64k miles is in the shop today. It has happed about ten times. They have changed the fluids with very little debri supposedly in it, transmission control module in and reprogrammed the Tranny. I am out of warranty but received a deal about class action law suit on transmission. When I signed in this morning wrote across for m that this was ongoing and no charges. Usually happens when slowing and not coming to complete stop but califnia roll through stop sign. Has also happened when entering intersection and freeway. Have to come to complete stop shift to park and then drive. Going to get rear ended or t boned if not fixed. Say post with one other person named M with a 2019 sounded just like my issue.
2020 ram 1500 not etorque, while driving 50mph, truck shuts off, shift p to park message comes on screen. Was able to coast to side of road safely. Got it started again, drove about 2 miles, truck shuts off again. Eventually was only able to drive for about 5 seconds before truck would shut down. Got to a parking lot and was sitting waiting for a tow truck and the dash would light up and the start/stop button would switch to run. This happened multiple times as I sat in the truck. Finally got it to dealer, hoping they can find the issue. It obviously showed no codes when they hooked it up. If anyone finds a solution for non etorque ram please let us know. I’ll post my the fix if the dealer provides one.
Update: short circuit in RF Hub. $1200 fix and I should be good

Anyone ever find out what is causing this to happen? Like most of the people here i am concerned this is going to happen while pulling out into an intersection and it causing me to get into an accident. This has happened to me a few times. Once was when I took my foot off the gas while cruising to a stop. The second was when i was trying to accelerate out of a turn. So it seems like it’s random. Someone I met randomly asked if this was happening to my truck because it also happened to theirs. Dealership was no help and he ended up trading in the truck. I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited 4x4 it’s not the eco boost and it just went over 30,000 miles. I already had the shifter knob replaced because it was sticking. Ive seen some people mention they cleaned the throttle body and air flow sensor, some did the reflash, and now someone here said there was a short circuit in the RF hub. So has anyone actually debunked this or could it be multiple issues causing the same problem?

Nope cleaned my throttle body still been happening. Swapped out the crankshaft sensor still happened, it’s been at the dealership for about a week and they still don’t know what’s wrong. It’s pretty clearly a defect in the software. Ford just did a big recall cause of something similar. Not sure what else to do at this point. I’ve been to three different mechanics including a Dodge dealer center

So my dealership is saying it is an issue with the PCM and they are confident that resetting or replacing the PCM will resolve the issue. It’s stemming from something to with the communication between the devices and the throttle body which seems plausible and the reason it’s intermittent. I don’t know enough about vehicles but they seem pretty confident that resetting the PCM to factory or replacing it with an uncorrupted one is gonna solve the problem.

Yes it seems to have worked. I did have a pulsar after market tuner in that was removed as well and then they reset the PCM to factory. It’s been about a week though and seem to have had no issues. My dealership has a guy who has worked on these trucks for years so he identified it pretty quick. He said between the tuner and the PCM it was not allowing the throttle body to operate correctly which was what was causing the problem (probably also why cleaning the throttle body has helped a bunch of people). I’ll let y’all know if it comes back but as of now it’s driving good as new!
This has been happening to me for awhile now. When I come to a stop, normally within the first 10 minutes of driving, then it goes away without me touching anything. Started to think transmission but not sure.
2019 Limited- I've had the same problem since purchasing the truck in 2019....several close calls when turning into traffic and have to slow down or stop to put it in park and bakc into drive.... Has been in the shop atleast 6 times with NO ISSUE Found or Could Not Replicate.

It’s the PCM and throttle body, have them clean the throttle body and reset the PCM to factory. If that doesn’t work your PCM may have to be replaced. I had an after market tuner causing part of the problem but after they removed that, and reset the PCM back to factory it’s been running smooth since.
