I’ve had my ‘21 1500 limited for a few months now, and currently have it at the shop. I wanted to see if anyone else was having the same situation I’m currently in. It started with my engine shutting off upon acceleration from a stop. Luckily I wasn’t on a busy road, but it only happened once (as of now). Since then I was having weird issues pop up on start up such as random service lights coming on, volume knob not doing anything at all, A/C turning itself to low speed setting and higher temp and not letting me change it, FM tuner playing at the same time as Apple Music for the CarPlay, and wireless charging pad not wanting to work. They all seem completely random and not connected to each other, however they all occurred right at start up, and then go away after turning the truck off and back on. Dealership of course is having a hard time duplicating any of the issues, and I feel like I’m stuck. Has this happened to anyone else?

I've had my 2021 Laramie for 2 weeks today. On one occasion I had my bluetooth music playing and the satellite radio was also playing. It was right after I started it up. I switched my media from BT to XM and back to BT and it played only the BT. My rear camera was blank yesterday but after stopping and starting the truck back up, it was working again. My 2016 rear cam would get fuzzy with colors like an old television but it always fixed itself. Other than that, I haven't had any issues. Stop/Start works when it wants to after I stop but I don't rely on it so it doesn't bother me. I hope you get your troubles fixed. I waited 3 years so Ram would have the first/second year bugs worked out, but they'll get it figured out.

Sounds like your truck is haunted.....if it happens again.....film it on your phone to show dealer.

I honestly am starting to think that haha, but that’s what I’m gonna do from now on. I’ve definitely never seen anything like this before.

I do know that the stop/start will turn itself off if it knows the cab is trying to get to a certain temp for the AC/heat if you have it set high. I always turn mine off when I get in anyways
