general problems of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

The automatic door lock on driver side failed to engage at 15 mph. The passenger side did engage. Manually locking the driver side door resulted in failure to unlock when vehicle was shut down although the passenger side lock did successfully unlock. The door mounted locking button failed to lock the driver side door but did lock the passenger door. When manually locked, the door mounted locking button failed to unlock the driver side door. The remote control door lock will not operate the driver side door lock. Dealer service dept. Says this is not covered by warranty and I must pay to have this repaired.

The contact owns a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. While the contact attempted to exit the vehicle, the driver side door failed to unlock. The rear passenger side door also experienced the failure. In order to exit the vehicle, the driver had to use the key fob while inside the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 45,000.

Passengers skin on right arm severely pinched just above the elbow when door lock post pulled the skin into the door panel as the automatic door locks actuated.
