Tipm causing fuel pump to operate after ignition is turned off, draining battery, leaving family stranded in remote location.

Faulty key switch. does not allow key to fully turn off, and has to be retried, sometimes 3 times. something like black piece inside keyhole sticks. truck is 3 yrs,4 months old, and has only 18253 miles on it. it is past bumper to bumper, but this sure seems awful premature to fail. i am guessing it is safe to drive when the key goes in, just make sure it shuts off properly.

Problems for several owners of 2016 ram trucks. they are complaining on a ram truck forum about their windows falling off the tracks and down into their doors. it is mainly happening to the driver's side window and only in cold weather. i tried to roll the window down, motor was working, window stayed in place..when it got a bit warmer, as i was driving, the window fell down. this is very common on the '16 models, my dealer said he has had them in all winter. it's happened twice to mine and the last time we didn't even roll the window down and weren't in the truck. ram designed the window track differently this year and it doesn't work.

Driving home from work 22 august 2019, an 8 mile drive. i went to accelerate to reach posted speed limit after turning off of a side street onto main road. i had no forward momentum when i depressed the accelerator pedal. i attempted several times to manually shift gears thinking it was a transmission issue. the engine would rev up to rpm but still barely any forward momentum. i was losing speed quickly. something grabbed my attention, not sure if i heard something out of the ordinary but i happened to look out my review and side mirrors and notice a huge plume of smoke exiting my vehicle. at about that same moment, i noticed a low oil pressure light from the instrument cluster. i immediately pulled into a driveway and shut the vehicle off. once the vehicle was off, i still noticed a large amount of white smoke billowing from under the hood and front wheel wells. at first i thought it to be a coolant hose rupture due to the color of the smoke/steam. i immediately jumped out and opened the hood thinking it was a coolant issue. right away i noticed a flame at the rear of ...
