Our Truck Starts Without The Keyfob Present...

We Have Discovered A Major Issue With Our Long-Term Laramie Sport:

With only about a dozen miles till we hit 10,000 miles on the odometer of our long-term 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie Sport Crew Cab 4×4, we have uncovered a pretty serious flaw with our truck. While our truck has performed pretty much flawlessly since we purchased it in May of this year, it wasn’t until …

Yikes! Not good.

Hmm. Every night when I get home from work I get out of the truck and lock the door. I walk to the end of the driveway and get the mail. When I walk back past the truck I have noticed that the dash is illuminated with the “push to start” on the display. Guess I’m going to have to give this a try.

That’s No Bueno. Be curious to know what they find and whether it is a widespread issue. That would be baaaad.

BTW my truck does not do this. I have also not had it into the dealer since my last oil change which was months ago so haven’t had any recent software updates.

Everyone here after reading this: .... (looks out the window and pushes the lock button on their key fob).

I just saw some dude driving past my house with what looked like my exact truck

Gadzooks!

Mine doesn't do it, says "key fob not detected" when I hit the button. The truck hasn't been serviced since I bought it.

 

[GAscooter]

I had mine serviced and the air bag recall done a couple of weeks ago. I do not have this issue with mine.

 

[brdima]

mine shows the green glowing ring around the "push to start" icon, but than gives me the "key fob not in truck" message.

Does this mean I can have 2 RAMS in my driveway? Maybe 3!

Same here. Working as expected. My truck has been at the dealer lately for an oil change and a few other things. I do not think it got any software updates.

Sounds like these trucks’ security settings may be set on Socialist mode.

 

[redriderbob]

Mine will fire right up with both keys very far away from it!! WTF! @RamCares please escalate this. I called my dealer and they aren't worried about it.

I talked to the dealer today, I won't be able to get it in until after the Thanksgiving holiday. However, when I get home tonight I am disconnecting the battery and letting it sit for a bit and then reconnecting it to see if it resets.

Mine works as designed (does not start without key inside cab).

Heck, one out of every 3-4 times I get in the truck my keyfob is not detected in my pocket, I have to hold it right up to the dash to start it.
Put in new battery and tried both FOBs, same thing.
I guess that means my truck is safe!

I had the same issue; removed the cargo led bulbs I installed and have not had any issues since.

That is good to know as I also replaced my rear cargo lights with LEDs, I will give that a try. Bummer if that is the issue, I kinda liked them that bright.

Mine does not work without the fob. Did he mention where his second key is?

 

[bonebro]

Well, I have to retract my comment earlier about my truck starting with no fob present. My lady had her purse in the backseat, and she had my spare key inside! Works as intended. Ha
