When going to start the vehicle, the key fob has to be turned multiple times. I have had the key reinstalled by a lock Smith. He stated this issue is common with the dodge key fobs. This could be a safety issue if you were to be somewhere in the woods or such and your vehicle did not start.

I can remove my key fobe from the ignition while vehicle is still running. Also vehicle will shut down while im driving with any slight bump. I know other dodges have this ignition problem and are on a recalk but my truck seems to be the one that was left out of that recall which doesnt make sense.. Its a saftey issue that should be recalled on all impacted vehicles.
Headlight green connector clip for low beer fails to make connection causing headlamp out.. Cleaning prongs inside clip fixes it temporarily 2. Tire pressure sensors vavles do not read properly and are extremely annoying
"key damage" words come up on the dashboard and the truck will not start. Key batteries were replaced and the vehicle still want start.
While I was driving 30 MPH on a city street, my truck turned off unexpectedly and disabled the power steering and power braking making it very difficult to maneuver. I did notate the throttle control warning light did come on. This happened to me again in a parking garage while I was leaving, again disabling the power steering and power braking, though I was fortunate enough not to hit any cars while I was turning. My ignition switch 'win' module now acts up occasionally and the truck will turn over for a second, and then immediately turn off. I believe the root cause is the win module. Please reference recall # 11v139000 and 10v200000 as this exactly describes how my truck was in motion and was shut off due to a win module defect.
While driving the vehicle on a 50 MPH frontage road and decelerating to turn on a side street, the truck stalled suddenly at the apex of the turn, gave a warning sound and a message flashed on the dashboard screen stating "low oil pressure". No other lights came on and no check engine light or code was stored in the computer. When the engine stalled I lost power brakes, power steering and (obviously) engine power. The engine restarted easily when the vehicle was placed in neutral. This has happened several times, some at the same location or locations with similar speed/deceleration/turning conditions. The dealership is unable to recreate the stall and thus unable to fix the problem. I have contacted them 2 times and took the vehicle to them once. They only offered a series of preventive maintenances like cleaning the intake manifold.

Electrical issues have been prevalent since the date of purchase in 2013. Must be a short in the entire truck somewhere. My lights on the passenger mirror blink all the time while running and or opening the door. Hubs/cv axles have had to replace both driver and passenger side 3 times each now. This vehicle in not used and abused. I take care of it with regular maintenance. I have heard from others who own same year model and have seen online on forums others have had these issues also. This causes the cv, hubs, and rotors/brakes to be replaced.

Exhaust manifold bolts keep breaking hyway miles let's exhaust leak into cab hazardous to your breathing could cause death with over exposure everybody I talk to with this truck have the same probably
My truck has issues with all the actuators for heating and cooling. It does it right when u start it up, and also while your driving. I can't switch fan modes, I have no defrost since they won't switch. The one actuator that might be working stays clicking. I know they had a recall on this (k-17) there saying it does not apply to my VIN,but clearly it's doing the same thing as the recall.
Have to jiggle the key in the ignition to get the engine to start. Have had the engine shut off while going down the road usually when hitting a bump or turning and have to pull over, put the transmission in park and jiggle the key and restart the engine.
Automatic door locks lock and unlock at will when fob is in hand or pocket and sometimes won't unlock at all. This problem exists when either fob is used . Replaced batteries but still happens. Suspect defective "totally integrated power module" tipm
This truck shuts off when hitting bumps or if you jiggle the key in the ignition creating an unsafe condition at low and high speed shut-offs. The repair required the win module to be replaced. The win module replacement was required on another safety recall for other dodge ram 1500s, but not this one. The win module recall needs to be expanded to additional dodge ram units. Also, this same problem was part of a recall on 2009 dodge journeys. The shutoff problem spans several dodge models with this type of ignition. I will be submitting a second complaint for another 2010 dodge ram with the same safety shut-off problem..
The key ignition delays when turning on all dashboard lights and keeps other lights on that should not be on.
This vehicle has a binding wireless ignition module (win) resulting in a condition where the key may be removed from the ignition switch prior to placing the shifter in park. Exactly the same as the federal safety agency recall reference #10v200000. This vehicle simply does not have the matching part numbers of the recall. But exactly the same thing happened and wireless ignition node (win) needs to be replaced.
