I acquired a 2012 Big Horn with a Hemi this spring and I love this truck but.... about a month ago I noticed that on occasion it would not start on the first turn of the key. I could hear a click but not start. It would only happen every couple of days so I took it to our local Dodge service and they replaced the WIN (?) module. Of course I only drove about 1/2 mile after repair til I stopped in a store and when I came out the same thing happened. I rescheduled for service and they then replaced the starter. I made it about a mile after replacing the starter when it happened again. The dealer never saw it fail but I videod the problem with my phone and sent them a copy. It now is to a point that at least once a day I will have to try multiple (up to 5) times of turning the key before it starts. My dealer is an hour away so each time I take it there I have to drop it off and pick it up the next morning. I trust the dealer but I think they are just shot-gunning the problem now. I can not afford the time or expense to continue taking it down to them just to hope that the problem has been resolved. I'm not a mechanic but is there a relay that could possibly not making good contact each time it's energized? I don't want this to turn into a "just live with it" problem and eventually get stranded somewhere when it completely fails.
