When we push the push start, truck starts for a second, then dies. Usually on the 3 try it will go ahead and run. I am a little nervous that it will leave me stranded somewhere. I am sure it is a simple "reset" type of fix. Any advice?

Take it to the dealer, drop it off on them and let them fix/ worry about it.

Unless of course, you have warranty void concerns ;)

Hi Schneider,

Sorry to hear about this! If you decide to visit a certified dealership for further diagnosis I'd be happy to offer assistance if needed. Just send us a PM with your VIN and let me know.

Are you pushing it in and holding it till it starts or just push it quick and remove finger?

i had the ignition button replaced on my 2017 1500. You could hit it several times and it wouldnt start/stop the motor. I was having to look at RPM's half the time to tell if the damn truck was still running! Step one =louder exhaust! Anyway this was like my 4th dodge with the push button start so it's not like I didnt know how to operate it correctly. Replaced under warranty.

This every time, or only when cold?

I was wondering why someone would need to push start a 2017 truck already...

Yeah, I'd definitely have that looked at if it's done it more than a couple times.
