Truck will shut off while driving. Sometimes will start back up a second later, sometimes need to bring it to a full stop, to restart the truck. It will do it at random no matter weather type of driving, it will just do it.

Win ignition modular suddenly went bad. Can go out when driving. Does not allow key to be removed. Can drain batteries (found this out after replacing both batteries). Fortunately, vehicle was stationary, but left me stranded.

My wife was getting into the truck and stepped on the step board and the board fell off the truck. I was told by the dealer that this is a common problem,but there was nothing they could do about it because i was out o warranty. Luckily me did not get hurt. Twice a week i pickup an elderly lady that uses a walker, if she had step on it she would have gotten hurt badly

When operating the vehicle it will unexpectedly turn off, wheels lock up, steering locks up, engine stops completely no matter what i am doing. As of late this has been happening more frequently. After research was done, it's the ignition switch problem that will cause death or serious injury. This truck has done this on the interstate, hwy, and city streets while driving at various times. This is our only vehicle…

Leaking exhaust at the head. Seems to be a very common problem and numbers of complaints on the internet indicate a recall may be necessary due to danger of asphyxiation.

While driving down the highway doing 65 mph, i accidentally bumped my ignition with my knee and turned off the vehicle. I did notify dodge of this via their website but did not get a response. I drive a 2012 ram 2500 and noticed it was not on the list for the ignition recall. I believe it should be looked into, i would hate for there to be a fatality because of this oversight.

When driving at slow speeds ( 0 - 45 mph ) or stopped deisel exhaust enters the cab through the air vents due to a leak under the hood. I have been told that this is normal by the dealer and the manufacture's rep. The truck has spent a total of 35 days in the shop so far, with no resolution. I have tried to lemon law the truck but since the dealer refuses to change any parts, i cannot. *js
