We have remote power windows?

Thanks for the heads up, vie had my ram for over a year now and never knew about that. I tried it also on my '10 charger r/t and the windows don't go down on that. But with remote start i don't Really think that im missing out on much there. Any word on if theres a way to roll them back up without turning the truck on and such?

Because of our litigious society we live in, they won't take a chance that one day someone may have their arm/hand/leg sticking in our out the window when you inadvertently close the windows and the person looses a body part.
Just as the OP noted, he inadvertently opened the windows. Stands to reason it'd be just as easy to close them the same way, God forbid, when a child is in the truck with an appendage sticking out the window. You can imagine the law suit!

I'd love the feature too, but it's just not worth the risk for Dodge to install this feature. It'd be a law suit waiting to happen.

Don't they have a force limit in the window mechanism/electronics to stop and lower the window if it encounters an obstacle?????

Sorry to be blunt, but that's a bunk argument. It's the same one I heard people say when discussing why the last gen Grand Cherokee (2005-2010) had express-down windows but not express-up. Window mechanisms are readily available that have force limiters to protect poorly placed limbs. It's purely an expense thing to leave out express up or, in this case, remote-controlled window raising. The manufacturer just figures not enough people give a rat's *** about it to justify installing the more expensive feature. You can bet if other trucks had it and current owners (and prospective customers) complained about the lack of feature they'd add it.

The dealership salesman never told me about it. I had to read it for myself in the handbook. I wished they would also work in reverse too. Nice feature.

For me, I managed to get it working once or twice, but not consistently. Maybe the battery in the keyfob is going out, who knows. It's a nice touch though

Probably one of my favorite features to show my friends. Works great on Hot days to let the heat out before you get in. I found out about it while reading the owners Manual.
