Help! Keys locked inside?

[Lewbrown]

Hey all:

I went hiking this morning and at the end of the day I could not get back into my truck! The thing is, I got the truck to the trailhead, so I definitely had them then.

They might be in the camper, but we looked everywhere. They might be in the truck. (Can they be in the truck? Wouldn’t the doors open?)

I only brought the one key. What are my options?

Halp!!

There not in the truck. It won't lock with a fob inside.

My 2016 will lock with the keys inside. Had it happen more than once. Luckily it happened at home where I had spare FOBs. I now carry a duplicate door key in a hide-a-way box

My 2019 will auto unlock if I try to lock it with the fob inside. I do not have keyless enter and go.

You could absolutely lock the key inside on 4th gens if you didn't have passive entry and push button start. Happened to me with a 2015 Tradesman I once owned. We could see it through the window sitting in one of the center cup holders. We ended up calling a locksmith. @Lewbrown you may need to do the same if you haven't remedied your issue yet.

You got a 22', call roadside assistance and have them unlock the truck. Another option, are you still under your UConnect trial option? If so, use it for remote unlock.

I have 21 Rebel. It doesn't let you lock the doors with key inside. Neither would yours.
If the key fob is close or in the truck. Pulling the handles makes it unlock/open.


As someone mentioned above. If you signed up for the uconnect, it would open as well.

I know it will not help right now, but may i suggest that you add a TILE to your FOB, luggage, dog, children's back packs, etc.

Even on 2021 and 2022 you can lock a key FOB inside. If all the doors are locked, get out last person to exit pushes the manual lock Tab down, little silver thing on the top edge of the door, door will lock and stay locked first time. Many guys have accidentally locked themselves out by hitting that with an elbow getting out and then closing the door.

If you locked the doors with the button on the exterior door handle, or the electronic door lock button near the armrest you can be sure the FOB is not inside the truck as like the others said, it will auto unlock and honk at you, at least for the first two times you try it. On your 22, you still have Mopar roadside. Call them, they should be able to remote unlock it for you. Problem is, without the FOB you aren't going anywhere. Don't know if Uconnect or Raodside can start the pickup and get it to run till you get home.
