“My wife and I were hauling our 5th wheel from alabama to georgia and had been on several steep grades with no problems. Before our trip ended the no trailer brake indicator showed up on the evic. We had the 5th wheel brakes and electrical components examined by a trailer dealer and no problems where found with it. However, I checked, as did the trailer dealer, my 7 prong connection on the truck and it shows that there is no voltage going to the 5th wheel from the integrated trailer brake controller. …”

“When the vehicle's engine is running, if the frequency operated button ignition key (fobik) is moved in any slight movement, the engine will immediately shut off. It appears the fix is to replace the wireless ignition node (win) module, similar to other safety recalls issued for other Dodge/chrysler models. The vehicle will shut off every day now and has even shut off while driving on the interstate. We had to try to safely pull to the side of the interstate and restart the vehicle.”

“I had my truck towed into the dealership for a no start . Problem did continue with the dealer a few times with no codes. The problem is that the truck would start and then when you try to restart vehicle, it would not start. Dealership concluded that it was a software issue, that needed to be updated with the some module in the truck. Unfortunately, I had ti pay for this updated, in which this problem should have been considered a factory issuse. Which in my opinion that the Dodge corp. Should have covered this expense. I seen on the internet with other people having the same problem.”
