When the vehicle's engine is running, if the frequency operated button ignition key (fobik) is moved in any slight movement, the engine will immediately shut off. It appears the fix is to replace the wireless ignition node (win) module, similar to other safety recalls issued for other dodge/chrysler models. The vehicle will shut off every day now and has even shut off while driving on the interstate. We had to try to safely pull to the side of the interstate and restart the vehicle.

Truck shut off while driving. Couldn't steer, couldn't turn, could barely stop. I was in the middle of a rotary with my 7 month old daughter in the car. Most likely the tipm was the cause because it started right up afterwards. No signs or warnings occurred before issue happened.

Upon activating the high beam head lights, engine will begin missing and eventually stall. Headlights will blink off and on. All dash lights and electrical systems will also fluctuate power (radio, wipers, tail lights, hazards, front parking lights and turn signals). All gauges on the dash will go dead. While driving on 7/22/2016 at approximately 9:15 pm the high beam head lights were activated. The engine began to miss and all electrical systems began to turn off, and then back on. The engine stalled at approx 65 MPH leaving no power steering. Truck was able to be restarted once it was brought to rest on the shoulder. High beams could not be used or the problem would repeat. Make: ram (dodge) model: 2500 year: 2011 engine/powertrain: 6.7l cummins turbo diesel w/ 6 speed automatic.

First incident, while driving, electronic throttle control light warning light went on and the engine died. Could not restart until vehicle was stopped, put in park and the key was cycled from on to off and back. Dealer diagnosed the failure on 11/28/10 based on the presence of diagnostic code p2121, "accelerator pedal position sensor performance.". Part was ordered (it was on backorder), repair was scheduled for 12/12/11 and vehicle was returned to me. On 12/5/11 the failure repeated itself, on 12/12/11 the part was replaced. On 1/5/12 same failure happened again, although this time I was towing an 8000 pound car trailer. Was able to stop and pull to the side of the road, narrowly avoiding an accident. This seems to be an incredibly dangerous design flaw as a stall causes loss of both power steering and brakes, not to mention loss of the exhaust brake.
