2010 Ram 1500 Electrical Problems

Your truck's engine won't stay running after you start it—it dies immediately and ejects the key fob onto the floor. This happens while driving, forcing you to retrieve the fob and restart while trying to control the vehicle, which creates a serious crash risk. The issue appears to involve both the ignition system and the key fob communication. A mechanic will need to diagnose the ignition switch, electrical connections, and key fob receiver module to identify what's preventing the engine from staying running.

Your key fob can fall out of or be easily removed from the ignition while you're actively driving. When this happens, your vehicle may lose critical functions like the speedometer, wipers, lights, or power steering — or shut down completely — creating dangerous situations, especially at highway speeds or in poor visibility conditions. The manufacturer has issued a recall for this issue, but your vehicle's VIN wasn't included in that recall despite experiencing the same problem. A fix would involve replacing the faulty ignition module and reprogramming your key fobs.

Your vehicle's electrical system may shut off unexpectedly while driving without any warning, and the ignition key can be removed even while the engine is running. You might notice the engine dies when you release the key after turning it diagonally, and it may also die when you hit a bump in the road because the key shifts in the ignition. The dealership has confirmed this is a WIN (wireless ignition node) module failure. Fixing this will likely require replacing the WIN module, which is the component controlling your vehicle's ignition system.

While driving at about 20 mph, your truck caught fire that spread across the entire front of the vehicle, destroying the front mirror and other components. This is a serious fire incident that requires immediate investigation to determine the cause.

Your truck's wireless ignition module can fail intermittently, causing the engine to stall without warning — even while driving at highway speeds. When this happens, you lose power steering and power brakes, making the vehicle difficult to control. The module may need to be replaced or repaired to restore reliable engine operation and safety features.

You purchased a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 from a dealer, but discovered a serious mileage discrepancy when applying for an extended warranty. The odometer showed 125,526 miles at purchase, but registration records indicated the actual mileage was 228,863 miles — a difference of over 103,000 miles. This suggests the odometer may have been rolled back before the sale. You may need to contact your state's attorney general or consumer protection agency and consider legal action against the dealership.

You discovered a significant mileage discrepancy on your 2010 Ram 1500 during registration. The odometer showed 173,840 miles when you purchased the vehicle privately, but registration revealed the actual mileage was 301,000 miles. This indicates the odometer may have been tampered with or rolled back before your purchase. Addressing this will likely require documenting the fraud with your state's registration office and may involve legal action against the seller.

The truck has shut down completely while turning into busy intersections and crossing highways we have been lucky to have been not hit by oncoming traffic. You have to put the truck in park and restart the vehicle. It has been to the dealership in the past and couldn’t be replicated. It shows no faults just shuts off for no reason this has happened 5 times in 3 months, 8 in a year,

The contact owns a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 75 MPH, the ignition key fell out of the ignition module. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact's husband veered to the side of the road and was able to place the key back in the ignition module. The contact stated that her husband continued to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the ignition module had failed to hold the key and they were unable to restart the vehicle. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 10V200000 (Electrical System). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.

When going to start the vehicle, the key fob has to be turned multiple times. I have had the key reinstalled by a lock Smith. He stated this issue is common with the dodge key fobs. This could be a safety issue if you were to be somewhere in the woods or such and your vehicle did not start.

I CAN REMOVE MY KEY FOBE FROM THE IGNITION WHILE VEHICLE IS STILL RUNNING. ALSO VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE IM DRIVING WITH ANY SLIGHT BUMP. I KNOW OTHER DODGES HAVE THIS IGNITION PROBLEM AND ARE ON A RECALK BUT MY TRUCK SEEMS TO BE THE ONE THAT WAS LEFT OUT OF THAT RECALL WHICH DOESNT MAKE SENSE.. ITS A SAFTEY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED ON ALL IMPACTED VEHICLES.

"KEY DAMAGE" WORDS COME UP ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT START. KEY BATTERIES WERE REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE STILL WANT START.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A 50 MPH FRONTAGE ROAD AND DECELERATING TO TURN ON A SIDE STREET, THE TRUCK STALLED SUDDENLY AT THE APEX OF THE TURN, GAVE A WARNING SOUND AND A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD SCREEN STATING "LOW OIL PRESSURE". NO OTHER LIGHTS CAME ON AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR CODE WAS STORED IN THE COMPUTER. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED I LOST POWER BRAKES, POWER STEERING AND (OBVIOUSLY) ENGINE POWER. THE ENGINE RESTARTED EASILY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, SOME AT THE SAME LOCATION OR LOCATIONS WITH SIMILAR SPEED/DECELERATION/TURNING CONDITIONS. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO RECREATE THE STALL AND THUS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM 2 TIMES AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THEM ONCE. THEY ONLY OFFERED A SERIES OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCES LIKE CLEANING THE INTAKE MANIFOLD.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS KEEP BREAKING HYWAY MILES LET'S EXHAUST LEAK INTO CAB HAZARDOUS TO YOUR BREATHING COULD CAUSE DEATH WITH OVER EXPOSURE EVERYBODY I TALK TO WITH THIS TRUCK HAVE THE SAME PROBABLY

MY TRUCK HAS ISSUES WITH ALL THE ACTUATORS FOR HEATING AND COOLING. IT DOES IT RIGHT WHEN U START IT UP, AND ALSO WHILE YOUR DRIVING. I CAN'T SWITCH FAN MODES, I HAVE NO DEFROST SINCE THEY WON'T SWITCH. THE ONE ACTUATOR THAT MIGHT BE WORKING STAYS CLICKING. I KNOW THEY HAD A RECALL ON THIS (K-17) THERE SAYING IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VIN,BUT CLEARLY IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AS THE RECALL.

HAVE TO JIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO GET THE ENGINE TO START. HAVE HAD THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD USUALLY WHEN HITTING A BUMP OR TURNING AND HAVE TO PULL OVER, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND JIGGLE THE KEY AND RESTART THE ENGINE.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK AT WILL WHEN FOB IS IN HAND OR POCKET AND SOMETIMES WON'T UNLOCK AT ALL. THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WHEN EITHER FOB IS USED . REPLACED BATTERIES BUT STILL HAPPENS. SUSPECT DEFECTIVE "TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE" TIPM

THIS TRUCK SHUTS OFF WHEN HITTING BUMPS OR IF YOU JIGGLE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION CREATING AN UNSAFE CONDITION AT LOW AND HIGH SPEED SHUT-OFFS. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE WIN MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE WIN MODULE REPLACEMENT WAS REQUIRED ON ANOTHER SAFETY RECALL FOR OTHER DODGE RAM 1500S, BUT NOT THIS ONE. THE WIN MODULE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL DODGE RAM UNITS. ALSO, THIS SAME PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL ON 2009 DODGE JOURNEYS. THE SHUTOFF PROBLEM SPANS SEVERAL DODGE MODELS WITH THIS TYPE OF IGNITION. I WILL BE SUBMITTING A SECOND COMPLAINT FOR ANOTHER 2010 DODGE RAM WITH THE SAME SAFETY SHUT-OFF PROBLEM..

THE KEY IGNITION DELAYS WHEN TURNING ON ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND KEEPS OTHER LIGHTS ON THAT SHOULD NOT BE ON.

HORNS BEGAN HONKING RANDOMLY WHEN THE TRUCK WAS OFF AND NO ONE WAS IN IT OR WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN. AT ONE TIME THEY BEGAN HONKING WHILE IN TRAFFIC CAUSING PANIC TO THE SURROUNDING TRAVELERS. I HAD TO DISCONNECT THEM WHICH NOW POSES A SAFETY RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. DEALER SAYS IT IS THE TIPM WHICH CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND HAS IT SHE RECALLS ON OTHER MODELS WITH THE SAME CONFIGURATION AS MY TRUCK. NOW THE TRUCK HAS TO BE INSPECTED FOR SAFETY TO KEEP THE LICENSE PLATES CORRECT AND IT WILL NOT PASS WITHOUT PERFORMING A $1200 REPAIR ON A PART THAT IS KNOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE. ALSO, THE FUEL PUMPS STOPPED WORKING AND WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE POME BUT THE TECHNICIAN SAID THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE PUMP IN FACT IT WAS THE TIPM BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THE TRUCK WAS THEM OUT OF WARRANTY IT WAS UP TO ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TO WORK IN MORNING MY TRUCK HIT A BUMP IN HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH AND SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I LOST STEERING AND BRAKES. WHILE COASTING I SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION TO NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED THE ENGINE AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE MOST RECENT YESTERDAY SEPTEMBER 23RD 2015 WHILE TURNING ONTO MAIN AVENUE AS I WAS ACCELERATING THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AS I WAS TURNING IN ADVANCE OF AN ON-COMING VEHICLE. AGAIN, I WENT TO NEAUTRAL AND RE-IGNITED THE ENGINE. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. I DO NOT HAVE HEAVY KEYS.

TIPM COMPUTER FAILURE CAUSED AIRBAG LIGHT TO ARM. HAVE HAD THREE TIPMS INSTALLED FOR TRANSFER CASE TROUBLES LAST SEVERAL MONTHS.

WHEN I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK, NOTHING HAPPENED. THERE WAS NO DASH LIGHTS, COULD NOT EVEN PUT THE TRUCK IN ANOTHER GEAR TO TRY AND MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. I COULD TURN THE KEY TO ON BUT NOTHING WOULD WORK. WINDOWS, DASH LIGHTS. IT WAS AS IF THERE WAS NO BATTERY. WHEN I WAS GETTING OUT OF THE TRUCK TO CHECK THE BATTERY, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND EVERYTHING SEEMED TO WORK AND THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP AND DROVE OK. THIS HAPPENED A FEW WEEKS EARLIER SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT WAS FIVE YEARS OLD. IT HAD THE SAME EXACT CONDITIONS AS BEFORE.

TL* 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.

THE HVAC SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK FAILED. AIR WILL NOT FLOW THROUGH THE DASH FACE VENTS OR DEFROST VENTS. BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR REPAIR. DEALER SAID THAT ONE OR TWO "MODE DOOR ACTUATORS NEED TO BE REPLACED" THEY SAID THE DASH BOARD NEEDED TO BE REMOVED AND IT COULD COST SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THE MODE DOOR ACTUATORS AND TO REPROGRAM THE CONTROL HEAD SOFTWARE (K17). MY TRUCK HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE IN 2012. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE THE MODE DOOR ACTUATORS UNDER RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAID THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED ABOUT THE K17 RECALL. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR BECAUSE I REFUSED FURTHER DIAGNOSTICS. THE ONLY OTHER DIAGNOSTICS THE DEALER SAID NEEDED TO BE DONE WAS TO REMOVE THE DASHBOARD TO SEE IF IT WAS ONE OR TWO BAD ACTUATORS AND THE COST IN LABOR TO REMOVE THE DASH WOULD BE SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ACTUATORS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE COST OF THE PARTS IS MINIMAL BUT THE LABOR IS NOT. I FEEL THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THE RECALL REPAIR AS IT IS A HAZARD NOT BEING ABLE TO CLEAR FROST FROM THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

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. *TR
