V-8 hemi quad cab. Problem was also reported to dealership at earlier (unknown) date while under warranty but problem went away at dealership. With car parked, driver side door-mounted lock will not operate door lock to lock when trying to leave car. These incidents occur intermittently maybe once every 1 to 2 months. When approaching parked car and using the remote to unlock electric door locks, it required 5-10 tries on keyfob. So bad one time, actual key had to be used to unlock driver's door.

2 Power Door Locks Not Working problem of the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 10/22/2013

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.
