Read complaints for DODGE RAM 1500 (2012)
My airbag light came on and stayed on and my horn or cruise control does not work. Not sure if i got in an accident that my air bag would actually deploy.. Thinking it is a clock spring issue.. Had a recall on my 2011 wrangler and same thing was happening to that vehicle also..this happened right after i started the vehicle after work today.
The fuel pump remains running after vehicle is turned off.
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.
Electrical components started to malfunction or not work. Driver side lock, radio, power to engine stalling. Vehicle was stationary believe the problem is the relay fuse compartment under the hood.
Camshaft sensor
The truck shuts down while in motion driving, no codes come up,you still have radio playing and air, its like you turned it off ,it does start back, this happens random, i was lucky an accident hasn't occurred yet, i believe it's the ignition switch,i also noticed that if you touch the key it will shut off but still be in the operation mode
When the vehicle is running and at speed on the highway, interstate, or street occasionally the vehicle will shut off causing no lights if operating at night time and no power steering and gauge cluster is also off. After pulling over as safe as possible and jiggling the ignition key and turning ignition key to start the vehicle then it will start and run normally until the next incident accrues. I have found that the ignition on these particular vehicles go bad for whatever reason and lose contact which turns the vehicle off while driving at anytime. On my vehicle it doesn't accrue all the time but enough to make it very unsafe. My vehicle just turned 59,000 miles and haven't had any issues until now.
Their is a recall on chrysler vechicles 2008 through2010 the wireless ignition node (win) module on your vehicle may have unintentional movement of the frequency operated button ignition key (fobik) from the 'on' to the 'accessory' position while driving. This could cause unintended engine shut off and increase the risk of a crash.initially my 2012 dodge ram 1500,has a similar problem the ignition (win )has play in the switch , problem with intermittent start , mechanic has to wiggle key , or turn hard to start , says win needs replacing , online i have seen that this is a typical problem of this year of dodge ram, several posts of this issue.
My 2012 ram 1500 is experiencing issues with the win module and will shut off at any given time. It will sometimes not start and it has died on me on the interstate running 55mph+. The win module has been recalled on other models of chrysler dodge models but not the ram. It is a serious safety concern because often times i have my children in this vehicle and i loose steering when it shuts off. I've read in numerous forums and talked with other who are experiencing the same issue and have gotten no where with getting it fixed. I would like this safety issue to be investigated before me and my children or someone else is severely injured or killed because of this simple yet very expensive fix at owners cost.

Engine making tickingnoise on passenger side of engine. Ticking goes away after it warms up.
Exhausted manifold on driver side making loud noise, totally defective component
Exhaust manifold stud/bolt failure causing exhaust leak and ticking noise.passenger side.
The engine cooling has a bad design for the exhaust manifolds so 2 bolts on each side broke off in the engine block and now there is large exhaust leaks on both sides of the engine. This is the most common defect i have seen by talking to people and on any forum and am very surprised this isn't a recall already

The contact owns a 2012 ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 25 mph, an abnormal noise could be heard coming from the vehicle without warning. The contact pulled over and discovered that the fuel tank was hanging from underneath the vehicle. The contact was able to strap the fuel tank back to the frame and drove the vehicle home. The contact's husband went underneath the vehicle and discovered that the frame where the fuel tank was attached had corroded, which caused the failure.

Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 87,013.
2012 dodge ram 1500 hemi stalls while driving, stopping at red light, or turning. Very dangerous. Then won't start, when it does start it dies instantly. Fuel pump issue. Tipm issue. Dealership external fuel pump relay kit requires cutting wires under the tipm. Dealership will replace tipm for about $1500 it is a dodge issue should have a recall. Truck sitting in driveway, paying insurance on a truck that won't start. Only 80,000 miles, chrysler dodge vehicles frequently have this issue. Please recall them. Thanks can not ever imagine buying a dodge again.

When moving vehicle after fueling, truck was stopped, put in park and driver opened the door to exit the vehicle.the truck unexpectedly began moving backward and the driver was knocked to the ground by the door.the door caught the door on the fuel pump guard post, bending the door back beyond 90 degrees and bending the hinge, and causing irreparable damage to the door and fender, and also caused damage to a car fueling at the pump when it struck it.the door does not open or close properly.

When driving today my fuel tank fell down because the strap pulled out of the frame. There is a recall for this on2012 ram pickups but not my vin number. Was wondering if my truck could be included in this recall

Exhausted manifold on driver side making loud noise, totally defective component
Shifter slips out of gear unexpectedly at times (eg. Drive to neutral) while driving and without cause. Unable to place it in park at times as well.we attempted to fix the problem, but a necessary part (gearshift cable) is discontinued and cannot be located anywhere. The truck is not safe and cannot pass a safety inspection and cannot be repaired.
