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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2010 ram 1500. The contact stated that the key would not start the vehicle occasionally and the electric power steering indicator illuminated.

The remote ignition module has failed and there is no start, no power to ignition switch, vehicle will not start the fob comes out of the ignition, when in the run position, and shorts out the main fuse panel under the hood.
My dodge ram 1500 (2010) had its fuel pump fail. I would lose power while driving and had difficulty starting. In order to start the vehicle, I would have to turn the ignition to the on position, wait a moment or two, then start the truck. If I didn't wait the truck wouldn't start. Sometimes while accelerating from a stop or even to pass, I would notice a lack of power as if the engine was starving for fuel. Two or three times it would stall while waiting at an intersection for the light to change to green. I took my truck to a dodge dealer for the problem and was told it was because the fuel pump only lasts 4 to 5 years and that was why it failed. I had to pay to have it replaced. Since I didn't have over $800.00 I had to purchase an extended warranty plan in order to get it changed.
