2022 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport. 14,500 miles. The issues might be unrelated, but I think they might be all connected to an electrical issue.
The truck started acting weird with a random "UConnect Box - See Dealer for Service" error. The problem is the error came and went randomly and sporadically. Occasionally it would do weird things like the USB port would charge one day, but wouldn't charge my phone the next day. I had the uconnect error pop up again and I tried to rush it to dealer - but by the time I got there it went away.
Then, truck started by randomly shutting off the AC for just one or two seconds while driving. It would go all the way down and then kick right back on like nothing happened. No errors were being thrown and no error lights showing up. The truck didn't stall - just the AC and radio would go out and pop back on (as far as I could tell while driving).
Then the problem escalated and now it will occasionally stall out completely in idle. Sometimes it has to be turned all the way off, put back in to park, and then turned back on after a few seconds. Eventually the check engine light came on and threw an error "U2167". One time the electronic throttle control error light went off, but after a restart it went away. I took it to the dealer, and after 8 days and a 25 mile test drive they said they couldn't find anything wrong, except they replaced the USB port.
Now I have a truck that can stall at any time - but no dealer can recreate the issue or identify what is going on. The only thing they find is a 'low voltage' warning - but the battery and alternator all tested fine.
