While driving the shifting is hard and doesn't seem to know which gear it wants to be in at times, when put on obd scan gives p2704 code, have checked plugs, fluid levels, replaced speed sensors, and still giving same problem, also I have tried to have key fobic programed and all it will do is start, will not unlock or lock with correct fobic, gives code for radio frequency hub, I know the recalls have been checked but think they did not take.

Key fob will not start engine. If you unlock doors & begin process again, it usually starts. Fob battery has been changed so weak battery not likely the problem. Problem begin began about a month ago.happens a couple times ea week.

While pulling into traffic the truck suddenly stopped without any warning, I lost my power steering, power brakes as well as the ability to have power to the engine. I tried to start the diesel engine, but the starter just tried starting it for approx. 20 seconds, I did not have the ability to turn starter off since it is a push button start and it finally timed out. I waited approx 5 min. And was able to get it restarted, the check engine light came on and I drove it to the dealer. The mileage was approx. 36,100 miles. I had to keep my fingers crossed hoping it would not die on me as I drove about 5 miles to the dealer. My greatest concern is the safety issue of complete loss of power and what may happen if you were on a hill or going around a sharp turn where the steering and brakes systems would not operate properly. My truck has an ecodiesel engine. The dealer told me the truck ha dmultiple problem codes on the computer analysis. They told me the problem was caused by loose pins in a connector and a loose ground wire. I never had any problem like this and the suddenness of this problem was scary.

I have a 2015 dodge ram 1500 express, I've had mechanical issue with the truck from the very start of owning the truck. The biggest and longest lasting issue has been with the key fob getting stuck in the truck. The issue has been that the truck isn't telling itself that the is in park so it wont release my key. This causes me to have to turn the truck on and off several times move the truck and shift back into par before it will release the key. The dealership has seen this problem happen in person but then tells me they don't know what is causing it. So they replace some random part hoping it will fix the issue. This issue has been going on since 03/2016 and has required the truck to be in and out of the shop for days and weeks. Dodge has been unable to fix this safety issue. I've contacted dodge customer care twice opened two customer care tickets and all I hear from dodge is take it back to shop so they can look at it. I've had close to seven different items replaced on the truck and have to spend my off days driving back and worth to the dealership over the past seven months. I've been speaking with dodge customer care since 05/2016 trying to get this fixed but they don't seem willing or care to get the truck fixed. Their answer is they cant duplicate the issue so they cant figure out what the problem is. This is a safety issue that I've shown videos, recorded every time the key gets stuck by no one seems to care, dodge doesn't seem to concerned with fixing my issue. When my "customer care" rep calls me from dodge she doesn't even know where my truck is. I have detailed records of every time the key has gotten stuck, I've dropped my truck off at the dealership, or I've spoken to someone regarding y truck. I just want my truck fixed.
