It's a random occurrence. While I'm starting it, I have to restop when I'm driving no warning, it's a manual transmission. That adds a huge danger when your truck dies in motion it's a big truck it's a work truck which makes it even more horrifying.!! Please take this seriously this is a huge danger I can't stress how important this is and I'm sure all the all of them are

I have a 2010 dodge ram 2500 st. The vehicle ignition won't allow the vehicle to start some times. Also when driving down the road, the truck cuts off and I have to restart it in the middle of traffic. Ive had to roll to the sie of the road on mutiple occassions until I can get it restarted, luckily I havent had an accident yet. I googled the issue and it seems to be a common problem with the win module on the dodge vehicles yet there hasnt been a recall initiated. It's turning into a daily occurrace with this.

Original tipm failed at 151000 miles causing front turning signals to malfunction. The tipm controls all electrical components and sensors throughout the entire vehicle including fuel pumps and air bags. I was driving my vehicle on a city street when an alarm displayed on the instrument panel noting a front right turn signal lamp needs replacement. I replaced the bulb per replacement bulb number specified in the owners manual. Also, replaced the turn signal multi switch which both items did not resolve the issue. Made the decision to have a certified mechanic to diagnose the problem.

I drove the truck about 20miles home, shut the truck off and unloaded both of my sleeping children. By the time I got back to the truck to unload our stuff my whole garage was filled with smoke. I quickly backed the truck out of the garage and called 911 because it was continuing to smoke heavily. The fire department came popped the hood and put out the fire. They unhooked both batteries and they could show me what was on fire the alternator and wires surrounding outside of it. Told me not to drive it anywhere until a mechanic can come. Ive asked the fire department for the report but they haven't sent it over yet.
