2019 ram 1500 rebel 4x4.
Dash has been lately saying shift to park while I am in drive. Today while coming to a stop. I felt sputtering then when hitting the gas pedal the truck was not accelerating. Like if the transmission was not delivering power. When coming to a full stop the engine shut off. Upon restarting the transmission still felt like it was not engaging then engine died again. Eventually got it going then while at 80mph i felt the transmission disengage again and slow down, then coming at a stop the engine cut off again

Any codes? This sounds like a dealer problem.

My money is on a weak battery. Bogus lights on the dash accompanied by in and out of limp mode and engine dying. Just what mind did last year. Let us know what you find.

I just bought a new battery about 2 months ago. Terminals look good. Ill check to see if maybe theres a loose ground somewhere tho

No codes had it checked and its not spitting out any. My research is pointing towards a Trans range sensor but I guess I'll pay for a diag furst to be sure

You could also do a load test on your battery, because as mentioned above it could be bad even though new. It could be good on volts but amps could be a problem.

If you replaced your battery, did you check the charging system? My dodge had a perfectly good battery but the charging system was dead. It shut down the vehicle instantly. In my case, I had to tow mine to a dealership.
