We purchased a 2010 dodge ram cummings 2500 on 06/20/2011. Weeks into making the purchase we started having engine problems. Such as a clogged fuel filter, egr valve, the ignition key switch, truck would not start with turn of the key, you had to wiggle key inside ignition to start truck. The check engine light is always on, recently the message panel displayed exhaust is 90% full. The truck was going about 5 miles per hour. And recently it turned off on the way home barely avoiding getting hit by on coming traffic. We also replaced the water pump, the belt tensioner, and it had AC coils clogged. Paint also started chipping in some areas.
Upon purchasing this used pickup I performed an inspection of the under carriage I noticed that the oil pan had a pretty significant dent in it. It was obviously caused by a skid plate that was mounted on the front axle of this truck from the factory. I went online and found many owner of this model had the same issue. One person was successful in getting a dealership to remove the skid plate and replace the oil pan. The service department said that the skid plate was only meant to be put on the gasoline models not the diesel models. This is due to not having enough clearance. This can cause a hole in the oil pan which can easily lead to an expensive but needless engine failure. This is unacceptable on a truck that cost $50000, dodge should perform these repairs and skid plate removal for these models for no cost.

From statement of operator "while performing road maintenance activities I was driving up a grade at low speed while in four wheel drive and in low gear. The first indication of a problem was a sudden burst of smoke from under the hood accompanied by the engine oil light coming on. I tripped the hood release, went to the front of the vehicle to open the hood. The smoke from the engine compartment prevented me from safely locating the hood release. I then retrieved the fire extinguisher from the vehicle and applied it the best I could to the engine compartment. At the same time another employee retrieved an additional 2 fire extinguishers from another forest service truck and applied their contents in a similar fashion. The application was insufficient to extinguish the fire. Over the subsequent half hour to 45 minutes the vehicle became fully engulfed in fire. The second operator said when he seen the smoke he ran up to the front side of the truck and could see flames in the engine compartment and at that time they tried to extinguish the fire using 3 5abc fire extinguishers. After depleting the extinguishers they moved back and unhooked the rock rake they were pulling and waited for the fire response to arrive at which time the vehicle was totally engulfed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 dodge ram 2500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle could not be started. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnosis. The contact was told that the key module needed to be replaced and the negative battery terminal had become loose. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to a different dealer and the contact was then informed that the oxygen sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer and the contact was informed that the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,000 and the current mileage was 9,859.
Was driving under cruise control at 75mph on i95 north in the middle lane, and noticed my truck started slowing down and engine had stalled. Power steering and power brakes went out and there was traffic coming up behind me in all three lanes, so I had difficulty steering the truck off to the side of the road. All electronics remained on, key was still in on position, and there were no status indicators anywhere on the instrument panel or evic to indicate there was a problem. The fuel gauge was still over half full. Once the truck came to a stop, I put it back in park and turned the key off. I was then able to start the truck back up and continue driving the rest of the way home without another incident. I took the truck into the dealer the next day and they were unable to find any fault codes from the ecu. Because there were no fault codes found, the dealer was unable or unwilling to perform any repairs to prevent this dangerous condition from re-occurring. So, I've done some research of my own on this condition and found that chrysler has had identical problems in other vehicle models for which they issued a recall (re: the federal safety agency campaign id number: 11v139000). It seems this problem is caused by a loss of communication between the key fob and the wireless ignition node (win). This wireless connection is required to start the vehicle, but for a glitch in the wireless connection to result in a complete engine shutdown while traveling at high speed is a huge safety issue. I am now afraid to drive my truck on the highway unless I stay in the right hand lane.

Bought 2010 ram 2500 diesel new and had to take to dealer to this point 5 times for check engine light illuminated. The truck has currently 16,338 miles and is returning to dealer tomorrow for another check engine light. Each time the light is in relation to the emission system. The dealer under warranty has changed the o2 sensors, cleaned the egr valve and states they may have to change the o2 sensor controller. I've also posted on this site about a major steering wobble to which the dealer changed a lot of front steering components. This truck design has a lot of history of major design flaws. I'm strongly considering filing a lemon law suit.
1. Normal driving, 2. Check engine light, emissions failure and it happens with two days of getting out of the shop, 3. Replaced parts/repaired at least 14 times and is still broken.
