The component that’s failing on my truck is the Apple car play and a check engine light (CODE P0024) which indicates Exhaust Camshaft Position, Bank 2. My safety and others safety is put at risk while having these issues: 1.) The Apple Car Play, having to take my focus off of driving to try and unplug my phone and plug it back in to HOPEFULLY fix the issue of using the navigation or phone calls while I’m driving during long road trips is extremely dangerous for myself, my loved ones and others on the road around me. 2.) This error code is extremely unsettling to experience while 500 miles away from home and has caused an incredible amount of stress on multiple occasions. The light constantly turns on and off, leaving me completely clueless as to if I’m going to be left stranded on the side of the road. Both issues have been looked at by an automotive repair shop. And I’ve been advised to seek information to if there are any recalls regarding this issue. Check engine lights display for the Exhaust Camshaft Position Bank 2.

Key CONTINUOUSLY gets stuck in the ignition and will not release even when engaged in park. Something is wrong with the shifter or the safety release and many other people have had this problem. My truck only has 24,000 miles on it and this problem has made me late to work multiple times AND has caused the battery to go dead!! This should be a recall and not something many customer have to deal with as it it a manufacturing problem and is probably a very easy fix for the manufacturer. This is ridiculous and I nor others should have to pay out of pocket $700 for this error to get fixed. Should’ve stuck with Ram.

It's occurred twice and I recorded it the second time. The infotainment display goes to a green multicolored pixelated screen and doesn't allow me to see what is behind me. If I can't see like I'm supposed to with the reverse camera technology, would this not be a safety concern if a child, or handicapped person -blind, deaf, or both- got behind me somehow?
