Question Annoying Front Parking Sensors - TIPM???

The front parking sensors are going off for no reason. They're clean, dry and not close to anything. This has happened a few times now on my 2016 Ram Limited Eco Diesel. I've research this online and others are having this same problem. Not having much luck with the local dealer. Any thoughts? TIPM??? Also having issues with the window switches and door locks, that's why I asked about the TIPM.

Try another dealer if you are not having satisfactory results with the one you are using. It’s under warranty.

They replaced the rear sliding window switch yesterday. Used it a few times and it worked. The problems are intermittent however, so I'll keep an eye on it for a few weeks. I did tell them (again) about the door locks and front parking sensors and they said they haven't had any other complaints like this. Funny, I found others having the same problems with a simple search. Think I'll send them an email outlining the recurring intermittent problems so I have a record of it before I hit mile 36001 and then they'll know exactly what needs repaired/replaced at my expense. With there being a history of bad TIPM's with these exact symptoms, why hasn't a recall been issued?
