With the cold weather, it's not cranking. I had a new battery and starter installed and it still doesn't crank unless it's in neutral and I press the fuel peddle. If it sets for too long in cold, I have to repeat the process and no longer am able to use remote start and sometimes have to be jumped off.

In spring 2013 my Dodge ram truck failed to start. It was towed to the dealer where I was told there was a faulty sensor and charged over $600 for the repair. In September 2013 the exact problem occurred. I was travelling and when I returned to my truck it would not start again. After several tries I was able to get my truck to start. While driving it directly to the dealership every light on the dash was flashing and acting very erratic. The dealer once again told to me I had a faulty starter. When the truck was "repaired" the dealer left just about every notice on my dash flashing stating there was nothing they could do about it (unless I wanted to pay them more money). While in the waiting room I chatted with at least one other customer who had the same problem. The Dodge ram trucks are simply not starting because of a sensor and the dealers are making a fortune off the customers. This sensor is "faulty" and Dodge needs to be required to pay for the replacement for its customers. Not to mention the fact that owners of the Dodge ram are left stranded in parking lots. . . .
