The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the key failed to stay locked in the ignition while the vehicle was stationary or in motion. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was confirmed that the vehicle exhibited the same malfunction listed under NHTSA campaign number: 14v373000 (air bags, electrical system). However, the VIN number was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,186.

At times when trying to start the pickup all goes dead I can take the key out and reinstall and it will start.

I was driving home christmas day 2014. Truck just shut off in middle of road and came to a rest. I did manage to restart it and when I did I received all kinds of error lights. Then truck shut down again. Had it towed to garage and mechanic determined it was a bad fuel pump. Now all the warning lights stay on and will not reset. Serv 4wd light. Trac control light. Reverse assistance sensors are inoperative. The fuel cap light. Abs light. Two tpms lights. Eps system light. Cruise control does not work. . . . And truck constantly shuts off while driving. I have replaced abs sensor and fuel cap but to no avail. Please help.

My 2010 Dodge 1500 truck stalled on my wife almost getting her in a wreck, she pulled it over and put it in park and it started right up. Took it into the Dodge dealership and they said it was the computer chip and fixed it. Two days later wife was driving it again and it stalled. I drove it and it did it to me when I was entering on a two lane highway it stalled and I almost got hit by a semi, pulled it over and put it in park and it started up. Brought back to Dodge and they told me it was the spark plugs. They replaced them at $225 at my cost and said it was fixed. Two days later the truck stalled on my wife again. She is scared to drive the truck now because she doesn't want to get into and accident with kids . Brought back to Dodge and talked to the manager about the safety of the truck. They told us that they needed to replace the tipm module at $1400 dollars. It's been about a month and a half and now after replacing the tipm it is still stalling. Went down to the Dodge dealership and all they said was that there still looking at the electrical problem. All I want is my truck back fixed and to drive it safely. .

Wife was driving done the rode at about 35 miles and the truck went dead , no power steering or brakes. Pulled it over and it started right up. Brought in to Dodge dealership and the replaced something in the computer and said it was fixed. I was driving it on the highway the next day and it died on me crossing the highway, semi truck almost killed me, put it in park and it started right up. Took it to the dealership and they said it was the spark plugs, dished out 225 dollars for that, said its fixed again. Did it again to my wife the next day with my kids in the vehicle. Brought it back in Dodge had it for two weeks, know there telling me its the fuse box module at 1400 dollars. Don't know what to do, talking to dealership manager about wife not feeling safe in the vehicle, she said electrical work is hard to find out what's wrong with it. Don't know what to do know, you spend 30,000 plus on a vehicle you would thing they doge or Chrysler would back there vehicles before someone gets killed with this truck.

Approximately a year ago I began experiencing lighting problems, flickering all around; and with truck off the remote would randomly, continuously lock the doors. I finally broke the remote to make it stop. Now my driver side tail light won't work. I needed my inspection/registration but couldn't get it until the light is repaired. My mechanic said it's the fuse box, said it's in horrible condition. More problems are possible. Parts & labor will be near $850. Various forums are inundated with similar complaints. A friend of a CO-worker's truck burnt to the ground in his driveway (and singed the house) because the fuse box didn't tell the fuel pump to shut off. With that and many other complaints I've read I'm now very fearful for my safety. Dodge/Chrysler needs to replace the fuse box immediately. Thank you for your time.

Defroster stop blowing on windshield, however, it would blow out other vents, tech found that the mode 2 actuator had an internal open circuit, dealer removed and replaced the mode 2 actuator. I submitted documentation for reimbursement since this is a known problem. Csc-100034072-3580 csn-k17. My claim was denied , I was told my vehicle did not have a recall.

When the light are on on the mirror they dim out I not sure if there is a short of what but both of them do it! if there is a short it might cause a fire. What should be done about this?.

Dodge seems to have a known issue causing the headlights to not work that is unrelated to the condition of the lamp itself or a fuse. Apparently a $500+ part is required. Many people cannot afford this repair and go without headlights instead causing obvious safety issues.

Head lights and tail lights go out when driving. Dash lights remain on. They will come back on in a few miles and also if I stop the truck and restart. Playing with the switch doesn't make any difference. I have had it in the Chrysler repair shop 4 times to search for an error but none are shown. Chrysler refuses to do anything since they cannot determine what is wrong. I feel this is a serious safety problem and should be treated as such. I also had the side outside heated mirror replaced because it had a burnt spot in the lower corner. Uconnect has also been affected at times right before the lights go out. The electronic vehicle information center displayed "not trained" one morning when I opened the door to get in.
