Broke down...again.
So, another fantastic day driving a 2015 super duty.
About 2 o'clock today, notice the Nav screen was changing screens very slow. Taking about 10 seconds to switch between screens.
Two hours later, about 4 PM driving down Highway at 65, speedometer starts bouncing between zero and What I assume is my speed.
30 seconds later, old caution lights start flashing, beeping, oil failure, ACCUTRAC failure, check engine light, every notification on instrument cluster flashing. Entire screen and AC shutting down sporadically every 15 seconds.
Truck running very rough, went under 10 miles an hour felt like it would not engage into gear.
Limped the quarter-mile back to the Ford dealership. Currently in the back now, plug it into the computer, to try to get information on what happened.
Anyone have any ideas? I will try to post a video of this instrument screen.

Check all the connections on your control modules (computers). Don't know how all of your ailments tie together but it sure sounds like it needs a reboot (use a size 10 or larger boot!)
hope you find it!

Look and see what happened to a RAM
Truck started, went haywire, wont restart - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum
There's non stop recalls including one with poor quality welds on the front suspension that causing the pucker factor on a lot of owners right now. Ram has some serious quality problems.

This exact same thing happened to my friends 2015 a week ago. We ended up letting it sit overnight and it was fine. He had his windshield tinted and we think maybe the soap water from that got into something and dried up overnight. Been fine since...

My wife's 12 Citadel has been 100% reliable but the recalls are nuts. Not that is has had a couple but the fact that they didn't have the parts available to do them for 6-12 months both times! Other than that I like the car but it has typical Dodge seating. IE: they forgot to install the padding. It's also had some weird noises since new on takeoff from time to time. She's getting an Explorer Platinum spring of 17 when her powertrain warranty runs out. Going to be an expensive vehicle year with my new truck coming around the same time. Ugh...
