Angry 2019 Ram 1500 shut down on me

Yesterday while driving the TMPS indicator came on. Pulled over and checked the tire pressure on all tires. No issues. Noticed that the sensor would come on for a time, reset and repeat over and over. Roll to a stop at traffic light, then it happened, the truck shut off. The Start/Stop button not working. Nothing. Pressing the break petal and pressing the button, not working. Had it towed. Read online that disconnecting the battery may reset the computers, nothing. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

I would like to think your truck is still under warranty, and that is definitely a problem I would let the dealer tackle. Of course, if it starts right up for them, gonna be hard for them to figure it out. If it still doesn't wanna start, let them play with it.

Ironically I was able to lock the doors and it set the alarm. I unlocked the door with the key, the alarm went off and I was able to use the fob to disarm the truck. Tried to start it, and it started. I still sent it to the dealer to find out what happened.

Ghost in the machine.......

Probably there was some specific sequence of events that happened that triggered that event. My guess is, the deal isn't going to find anything.

I would have the same guess. I told the service tech what happened and he looked in disbelief until I showed some video of what happened while driving so he could see. He said they will try to find the issue or what happened.

Let us know what they find, if anything.
