DURING 2014/2015 THE 2012 DODGE RAM 1500 WOULD FAIL TO START INTERMITTENTLY ESPECIALLY ON COLDER DAYS. DURING JANUARY OF 2015 THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE COMMON ON A DAILY BASIS AND WOULD TAKE 10-15 TIMES TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKE TO DODGE UNDER WARRANTY FOR REPAIR MULTIPLE TIMES AND ACCORDING TO DODGE THE STARTER WAS REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD START. AFTER OBTAINING THE VEHICLE FROM THE DODGE REPAIR SHOP THE LEFT HEAD LIGHT BEGAN TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN TAKING TO THE DODGE SERVICE SHOP FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. DODGE INDICATED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY TIPM AND THAT IT WAS REPLACED AND THAT THE LEFT HEADLIGHT SHOULD WORK APPROPRIATELY. AFTER OBTAINING THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND RETURNED TO THE DODGE SHOP WHERE THEY INDICATED THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SENSOR WHICH WAS REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE DRIVER'S HEADLIGHT BEGAN TO GO ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING STILL. THE DODGE WAS RETURNED TO THE DODGE REPAIR SHOP WHO STATED THAT THE PREVIOUS REPAIR WAS DONE UNDER WARRANTY AND SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY THEY WOULD NOT COVER ANY REPAIRS EVEN THOUGHT THEY HAVE A 24 MONTH PART POLICY FOR REPAIRS PAID FOR BY THE CUSTOMER. SUSPECTED TO BE A TIPM ISSUE.

CURRENTLY, WHEN GETTING INTO VEHICLE WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING THE TRUCK. IT HAS EVEN STALLED OUT ON US WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOD TO DEALERSHIP AND DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOT BEING ON THEY INFORMED US THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO THE DIONOGSTIC TEST.

AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON TRUCK HAS 26624 MILES ON IT. DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY 3 YEAR OR 36,000 MILES, I BOUGHT THE TRUCK LAST YEAR AND IT HAD 7000 MILES ON IT. I GOOGLED ONLINE AND THERE IS A LOT OF TRUCKS EFFECTED AND THE FIX WAS WIRE HARNESS AND SPRING CAPS REPLACED. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE TO FIX ISSUE.

PASSENGER HEADLIGHT LOW AND HIGH BEAMS NOT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. REMOVE POWER FROM TIPM AND WAIT 12 HOURS THEM RECONNECT WILL WORK FOR A LITTLE WHILE.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM. IT IS HARD TO SEE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS IN THESE VEHICLES, BUT WILL THEN STATE THE PROBLEMS WERE FIXED IN THE 2013 MODEL.
