Had not started the vehicle for 1 week. With fob in hand I opened the door. With door open I put my foot on the brake (it did not compress), then pushed the start button. The dash flashed on and off saying fob not detected. Tried pushing fob, tried starting car again. Then a loud clicking began at the front of the vehicle in the motor area. The dash flashing stopped and all screens were black. No power to vehicle at all, door locks did not work. Opened hood to see where clicking was coming from, but could not detect. Tried remote start and traditional start as well. Nothing works. Engine clicking finally stopped after about 10-15 minutes. Car has to be opened with the key and will still not start.

After a heavy rain and subsequent rains, there was a heavy leak down the interior wall between the front seat and the back seat, flooding under the front seat, driver-side front seat, and driver-side back seat floor under the carpet. Each time this happened, the car was parked in the driveway with the windows up. Also, since then, the door locks have started to lock and unlock several times on their own after I've locked the vehicle and walked away from it. The leak seems to be in the roof seam in the driver side, which seems to be faulty. I took the car back to the dealer, they needed money up-front to try to figure out the problem, which I refuse to pay because I believe it is a manufacturer defect. I contacted dodge three times, they said since the car is out of warranty it is my responsibility even though it is a defect.

An unknown issue is completely draining the battery. Thus, rendering the truck inoperable. The auto door locks would not work and the vehicle would not start. The first occurrence took place roughly two months ago. The service department at darcars temple hills, md, tried to convince me that I left my truck running. This time, same exact issue took place.
