Key fob shorted out. Piece inside came loose due to corrosion. Had to switch to back up fob. Now that one seems to be starting to fail too. Last 3 cars, I never had an issue with any alarm fob once....

When the truck is turned off and I touch my key fob, the windows come down. I come out from work some days and my windows are partially down. It happens both when the truck has been sitting for a while and I am approaching my car to get in and sometimes after I get out of my truck and use the key fob to lock it. The windows may come down. I have to go back to the truck put the windows back up and lock the truck at the door panel.

I owna 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that key fob is operating the power windows and unlocking the vehicle on its own. I have gone outside and my windows were halfway down. Have not yet taken vehicle to dealership yet. Going to check the FOB for weak battery.

The Remote Key-less Entry Faux Pas is real thorn in my butt. I have gone through 4. That is 4 keys at $150 plus $50 dollars to program. The first one was replaced by the company. The other 3 I had to pay for out of my pocket. After the first one went bad I was very careful with them because of the expense. Now the 4th one has died!!!!!!! Until I can get the Security System disarmed I have disconnected the horns. So now that the key does not work I can not use it to lock/unlock the doors, lower the windows, or even use the remote start. These keys are pieces of junk. If they were a more reasonable cost it would not be so bad. I am sure it cost them pennies the produce but it has cost me $600. If you are going to provide these keys at that price they should be more reliable.
