Sometimes when I hit the unlock button, or lock button, my truck starts unlocking itself over and over and over for like a minute or two.

When it does this the remote start won't work until I've started and shut it off again.

I'll try to upload a video to explain it a bit better.

I took it to the dealership and they basically told me they couldn't do anything until Ram came out with an update but to date I haven't found anyone else with this issue so I don't see Ram putting much effort into the issue.

When it does this I can get it to stop temporarily when I hold in the lock button on the drivers side handle but as soon as I let go it continues to keep unlocking over and over. When i tried the passenger side button it had no effect. I feel like it's some sort of module on the drivers side door handle.

It's really annoying and especially because it's a brand new truck and the dealer basically said I had to deal with it for now.

I edited a video down to 4 seconds and put in low definition, it was only 2.2 mbs and it still says the file is too large to add to post... so.. hopefully it makes sense to you without video.

Edit. I put the video on youtube. Here is the link.

I was going to suggest replacing the battery until I noticed this was a new truck, that's crazy

Does your other fob(assuming you got 2) do the same thing?
