Takata recall, i have received a letter in the mail stating i needed my airbag replaced but after notifying the service department i was told that i do not have any active recalls at the present time. The rear of my vehicle has been making noise for some time despite also being told there is no recall on the specific year that i have purchased. Last but not least there is a constant battle with the rear suspension of the vehicle. This particular vehicle have upper and lower mount bars but the rubber gives away in the part which causes a sway that makes you loose control traveling over 50mph without towing a load. I have been reduced to not using this vehicle on the expressway. Also to date the transmission has been given a full overhall as of last year. At the time there were 120,000 miles on the power train
Takata recall.my 2011 dodge ram hemi sport. The steering wheel horn pad over my srs airbag is cracked and cracking more each day. Im afraid that it will make my airbag pop or show and injure my self or others driving. It just started a couple days ago while i was driving and had to hit the horn.
Takate recall/ii called your officeabout 09/05/18, and your office gave me ford dealer in chattanooga, tn. I call them on 09/06/18 , thir office said thay would call me when they got the parts in,that was 80 days ago( wat now )
Drivers side head light intermittently turns off while driving and will randomly come back on.after replacing bulbs & entire headlight unit issue continues.faulty tipm (totally integrated power module) seems to be to blame.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was at a stand still at his residence, when he notice the fuel pump was running. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he had to replace the battery. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
My turn signal switch does not work anymore when turning left. I turn it down to select the left turn signal and does not work at all anymore.
Right knee bumps the large key turning it, and shutting off the engine, making it hard to control. This has happened several times usually while cornering or slowing for a corner.
Tipm replacement with only 53,700 miles on the truck. The tipm can prevent airbags from deploying and makes the vehicle completely unsafe. The vehicle will not start without replacing the module. This is a known issue with multiple complaints for many dodge vehicles, including durango, town and country etc.
There were no special events before problem showed up, other than the engine must attain normal operating temperature. The problem is when traveling , uphill-downhill- or on level, if you are above 45mph and you stop applying gas pedal to coast. The vehicle will coast until you reach approximately 40mph at which time the transmission will downshift into 3rd gear. This causes an abrupt slowing without alerting vehicle behind you. This could in effect cause a rear collision because the brake lights are not activated, and the gearing is low in rear axle which causes the vehicle to slow at a faster rate than normal. The problem seems to be there all the time, one time it did not appear when i applied brakes. This could have been a one time occurrence as it hasn't happened again. I have contacted local dealer, from whom i purchased the vehicle, 3 times. First time they hooked computer to vehicle and said everything was normal. Second time hooked computer to vehicle drove it and took more readings. Third time they were to take more readings and transmit to chrysler, also at that time they were to work on transmission. Problem not fixed, when i returned home that evening i received a phone call from dealer stating that chrysler was to give them a computer flash or program that may fix the problem, and it could take 3 to 6 months to obtain. During the second visit i was told that chrysler had at least 3 other vehicles with same problem but they did not know what the cause is and therefore they did not know how to repair. I was not notified in writing by dealer or chrysler corp. No parts were replaced that i am aware of. I also drove another truck same equipment it did not exhibit the problem. I am not certain if this is a ploy to skirt the lemon law or not. At any rate the problem needs attention sooner than later, also this is causing higher fuel consumption because of having to feed gas when the vehicle should be coasting!
Truck won't start after sitting for a long period of time 5-6 hours, then it starts.power window & locks, visor lights, traction control, rear brake light, tire pressure monitoring light, all working intermittently. Ac outlet has never worked, key pulled out of ignition with truck staying running, key stuck in ignition won't release, big thing is truck shutting down while driving, now were afraid of driving it. Dealer looked at numerous times to blame our stereo in it. I have been researching it have found numerous complaints, don't know what its going to take for a recall, someone getting killed? chrysler has recalled it in the dodge durango, jeep cherokee and other vehicles but not ram 1500, cost 1000- 3000 from dealer who is the only one to fix ? it the tipm mother board that controls everything and i'm not even a mechanic please help this has been on going since 2011 when i bought it brand new
If i am driving and a lifter gives out and the vehicle shuts down then anything can happen at any speed. So wtf are ya'll talking about this is not a safety concern? so if u want to get into how many people are in harms way if this fails we are talking about thousands to millions. As these cars get older we will only see this happen more often.build a terrible product u need to get called out for the terrible design because u wee trying to screw people out of repair money by the terrible design. These companies should be sued out of existence. They dont care about the longevity of their product and should not be allowed to sell to americans.
I can hear the fuel pump constantly running hours after the ignition has been turned off. I have had to replace my battery twice now and is truck is sometimes hard to crank. I can feel the truck losing power when driving down the roads and though it has not yet lost power completely i feel very unsafe while driving.
2011 dodge ram 1500 stalled at intersection, and stalled on busy freeway 198 in the fog, i had the fuel pump replaced, now we find out that it is electrical and the cause is a faulty tipm the cost of replace 1500 dollars.

While driving down the road the truck stalled and ignition systems went dead. Had several issues days prior to incident where battery was dead, starting vehicle problems and stalling repeatedly. Dealer had to relpace tipm $1280.74. I was told that they were no current recalls on this part, contrary to online information.
The wireless ignition module has become defective.it will no longer hold the key fob in place once the vehicle is started.the key simply falls out but the vehicle continues running.the vehicle will also turnoff while still in gear now.additionally, sometimes the module will not turn, or will not turn completely, when the key is inserted and you attempt to start the vehicle.sometimes it won't turn completely to the off position once the vehicle is started.chrysler safety recall k08 issued in august 2010 addresses these issues in the 2010 ram trucks but for some reason it does not cover the 2011 models.dodge has told me it is my problem to fix and not their defect.

The anti-slip was activated all the time and it turned off the vehicles radio and back up camera.
Vehicle intermittently has no fuel. Mostly crank no start, but once stalled while driving creating dangerous condition while driving. Tested fuel delivery system and found fuel pump intermittently not getting electrical power. Failed relay on tipm.
The vehicle stops unexpectedly while driving.this has happened on a busy street and highway almost getting into two accidents with family members in my vehicle
There is something wrong with the ignition switch.i have to put the key in repeatedly just to get it to catch so it'll start.doesn't matter whether i'm driving down the street or out on the highway the truck just turns off.i've had it shut down going over railroad tracks, in the middle of intersections, on the highway with people coming up on me going 70 mph.i called dodge & they told me it would cost 6-8 hundred dollars to repair.i'm finding that a little hard to swallow, since i've done nothing to cause this issue.this issue is going to eventually cause a wreck

Just stoppedstarting put fuel pumpon and still didn't fix the problems. Called dodge and they were very rude
The driver side headlight goes off at random times. It usually comes back on within a few minutes. Now it is completely out. A new bulb was attempted but failed to fix the issue. Also the anti theft system activates at random times causing the horn to activate and vehicles lights to all flash. Oneoccasion the vehicle failed to start for several hours. The issues are getting worse and more frequent.
The truck randomly would not start sometime requiring a jump start. Replaced battery and alternator which did not fix the problem. Only after doing online research figured out it was the tipm.

Crank no start. After several tries it will start. Sometimes it will just die while driving.they used the recall kit for the cherokee to fix my truck. I have the same tipm computer as a cherokee so why isn't my vehicle included on same recall?
Tipm truck wont start because of this.. Power windows had been acting up..now find out air bags may not deploy if get in accident..really? this isnt a recall?
Ttotally intergraed power module (tipm) recall on the dodge ram 2011 the battery keeps draining over night stationary park in driveway.
Vehicle stopped running while driving endangering pregnant girlfriend as there was no power steering nor was there power brakes. After many tests it was determined to be a faulty totally integrated power module, also known as a tipm.this extremely dangerous failure has been subject to a recall on jeep and chrysler vehicles due to the same component failing.she was driving down a two lane city highway, let off the gas, and lost all power.
The fuel pump relay is bad. The fuel pump keeps running when truck is shut off which runs down the battery.the tipm needs replaced but there is a backorder on the part.
In a nutshell,, my truck had about,,,14k mikes on it. Purchased new. It took off in exess of 100mph. Couldn't stop it!!!!!!! almost killed my son and i!! have been fighting, ever since to get chrysler to replace the motor,, as it sounds every bearing in the motor,, when i finally put transmission in neautral to stop the truck. To date, the truck has a rearmain leak, because of instead of replacing the motor. Chrysler, tried to take the cheaper way out and only replace a part at a time. In doing so this,cost them way more $. Motor no longer has a bearing noise. But it does have a rearmain leak. That they have tried to repair3xs so far!! now,,,,, i'm still waiting to see if they will replace the motor, or try again??? last i knew the goslden rule was 3 xs and ure out!!!! my patience, is gone. The truck, has spent most of its life in a dealers garage. And most of its 40k miles are from the dealers tech.i have all documentation to prove everything i say. All from the day it took off on me. The real problem is..... Why did it take off? and the answer to that. I figured out. Who wants that info? cause i have figured that out. It took 3 yrs. To figure out. Is all i want is a new vehicle, as i never got to enjoy that. Just cost me alot of time, and $.
Tipm failed at 60,120 miles (tottaly intregated power module) truck would not start
Hit a deer with my truck. Fuel pump runs all the time. Had truck tested. Was purl pump relay bypass kit. Other models are recalled for this same reason. Also transmission is stuck in 4th gear. Tested that too. It's the lr solenoid in the com. None of this issues was wrong before hitting the deer. I feel they should be recalled.
The totally integrated power module (tipm-7) failed, causing the vehicle to stall without warning while driving and difficulty with restarting. This was a recurring problem for a few weeks.
The fuel pump has failed. This is a common issue with this year and i am not sure why it hasn't been address. Truck has trouble starting and will crank but not turn over as if out of fuel. Battery, alternator and starter were checked and are perfect. I was having trouble the past few weeks starting the truck, now i went to start it and it will not start no matter what. Not a battery issue as the lights all turn on. It must be a tipm issue and i have noticed that other electrical components in the car act oddly at times.
My ram 1500 inexplicably caught fire and burned to the ground after sitting outside for approximately 12 hours.the vehicle was locked, as were the bed cover, the tailgate, and the ram boxes.there was nothing in the bed or ramboxes.we were alerted to the fire at around 6 am by 1) an explosion and 2) neighbor alert.when we went outside the truck's bed was engulfed in fire, and the fire looked to be from underneath and coming up around the bed.the explosion was either the spare tire or the gas tank.within 10 minutes the entire truck was engulfed, and completely burned/melted, etc., within 25 or so minutes when the fire dept. Finally arrived to put it out.the fire marshal declared that the cause could not be determined, as did the insurance company's lab after they examined the vehicle due to the extensive damage.we live in a gated, video monitored small community and review of the tapes showed no strange activity.there is no history of criminal activity in this area, and certainly no arson. The ground surrounding the truck was wet (it was parked on a concrete parking space) as the sprinklers had recently run (grass, shrubs).really not sure if there is an issue with the ram, but given that arson also seems very unlikely i thought we should document this in case there are other events.
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the headlights, windshield wipers and the tail lights would engage independently and sporadically. In addition, the speedometer and the turning signals failed to operate. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the instrument cluster needed to be replaced.

In the parking lot of my apartment complex my truck would try to start, but do nothing but crank. I thought my fuel pump was out so i replaced it. The truck was still having problems starting. I noticed that sometimes i would hear the fuel pump come on and sometimes not so $260 dollars later i still had the same problem. After doing some additional research and actual tests i found out that a relay on the tipm is malfunctioning. It is aa $5 dollar relay on a $1200 dollar part that is not covered by warrenty and cannot be easily replaced. Dodge is currently under suit for the faulty tipm's.
Fuel pump relay is faulty in the tipm
While driving my pickup truck at a speed of 30-35 mph, the power turned off and the speed decreased at a fast rate. Luckily, i was able to pull into a business to turn my ignition to "off" and turn my vehicle back on. I did not have access to any electrical equipment in my vehicle. This has happened four times in the last 2 months.
"takatarecall" my 2011 ram 1500 stoped in the middle of the city street and steering wheel got hard and it was hard to start up. So i took it to get fixed they said it was the fuel pump so we replaced it,then i would turn the key and it would stay stuck trying to turn on killed my battery bought another one changed the fuel pump again now the fuel pump will not turn off until i pull the fuse now the say it's the tipm i called the dealer and said no recall but i'm having all the problems as the cars that do! i put all that i had to get a reliable truck for my kids and i and this happens.
Truck makes loud rumbling sounds on bottom. There is a major electrical issue with the truck that drains battery resulting in the truck not starting. Stranded many places because of this issue
Tipm module, fuel pump relay and other malfuntions
After passing a slow moving vehicle on the highway, my truck shut down.the engine cut off ,dash lights and park light started to flicker erratically and the headlights went off. I managed to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. In order to stop the lights from flickering i disconnected the battery (they flickered with the switch in the off position). As the lights flickered i could hear relays clicking under the hood and dash. After waiting a while i reconnected the battery and all systems came back on and i was able to start the truck and drive it home.the dealership will not be able to check it out until wed the 18. All systems seem to be normal. I have to go to work . I' m driving it 60 miles round trip everyday.
Fuel pump relay failure. For a while truck would just lose power and jerk at high speed. Once it died completely while driving at a moderate speed. Eventually it just wouldn't start at all. Purchased the external relay kit and it fixed the problem. Since this is a widely known problem with this particular tipm in many different vehicles, i'm annoyed that this wasn't part of a recall. Especially considering the danger of a vehicle turning off in the middle of operation.
While slowing down to make a turn, the engine stalled out. This has happened once before approximately 1 month prior. During both instances, i coasted through the turn to a stop but had difficultly steering and braking. Both times the vehicle restarted. I believe in other circumstances this issue may cause a crash situation. I have researched for recalls and bulletins but found none. I have, however, found many online internet complaints about this same or similar problem.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start. The contact mentioned that it took several attempts to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to steve jones chrysler dodge jeep ram fiat (2612 tn-46, dickson, tn 37055, (615) 326-1234) where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced, which caused the fuel pump to malfunction. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.
Truck fails to start and/or the fuel pump continues pumping after truck is shut off, draining the battery. There is a faulty fuel pump relay in the tipm.
Diving through the mountains on a very dark night and both headlights went out at the same time. I could not see anything. Thank god my tail lights and hazard lights still worked or i may have had someone run into the back of my car. I was also fortunate to have a car stop and help. I followed this gentleman through the mountains using his head lights and simply focused on his tail light. The next morning, i started my car and both lights were working again without anything being done. Now i have the left light that is not working and suspect that it will also come back on whenever it wants to. This is an extreme safety issue that may cause some to run off of the road due to not being able to see. Please assist.
Takata recall i [xxx]made a report in february 2014 about my dodge ram 1500 i report about my air bags did not work when my husband hadwreck by falling asleep on the interstate going to work with cruise control on and he hit a big truck,yes he hit the steer wheel, but the airbags did not work, did 15,000 dollars damage to the truck, this truck is not safe to drive,we where offer the buy back program and we told the dodge company yes take this truck cause it is not safe but they said we where upside on the amount we owe,we risk our lives with this truck everyday ,this has also has a lot of electric probleminformation redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The win module failed. Aka wireless ignition nod. From my research it a common problem and that it is cause by faultysoldering inside of the module. I feel it is a safety risk due to the fire hazard. The truck won't start under cold conditions because the win module doesn'trecognize the key is in the ignition to start. I have a remote starter installed and can bypass the issue by using the remote start to start the truck and then have the car in the ignition to keep the truck running. Once thetemperature outside warms up and the module is warmed up it works like there is nothing wrong. Will also cause the truck to randomly shut off if the heat isn't on it the truck when it's cold out
Vehicle will not start not getting fuel, remote start won't work.the problems are related to a faulty fuel pump relay and the no-start often occur when the vehicle is cold and progressively get worse. My research shows that this issue is related to a recall for faulty fuel relays thatare very common in 2011-2013 vehicles, like the jeep grand cherokee and dodge durangos but they were the only vehicles recalled. The problem is intermittent sometimes days apart or multiple times the same day. I an dating this today but have had issues since december 2018 if not longer.
Truck wont start .. All other chrysler and jeep and dodges in 2011 models had a relay repair recall for the fuel pump. The 2011 ram 1500 dis not yet they all use the same tipm
My truck was turned off and in my driveway.it's been going on for about a month now.it sounds like my fuel pump is still on when the truck is off and normally it turns off after a few minutes but lately it's been staying on and draining my battery.also, my windows roll down randomly and the horn goes off randomly as well when the truck is on.i did some research on the tipm for my vehicle and it says the air bags can go off at any time as well.hopefully, yall doing something about the tipm due to the safety issues of the airbags deploying without cause before someone gets hurt.(recall on tipm)research below: typical symptoms of a tipm failurethe fuel pump not turning off and burning outthe airbags not deploying or deploying randomlythe engine stalling while drivingthe starter cranks but won't startthe horn goes off at random timespower windows not workingdoors locking or unlocking themselves
There has been a recall for other models same year but not one issued for the ram yet. I am having a problem with the tipm which was recalled on the jeeps and grand caravans. The truck tries to start but isnt getting enough fuel so there is a delay and several dry starts also the truck died the other day on me in traffic causing me to almost get hit on the driver side. I have the truck parked at home right now scared to drive it. Called dodge directly after some investigating and they cant answer my questions.
When you start the truck, the asb light comes on. The wipers, a/c, headlights, radio, and power locks will not work. If you let the truck run for about 5 mins, you hear a 'ding' and everything starts working again and the asb light goes out. Took it to a local mechanic and was told they were not able to diagnosis the problem. The truck was in park. I was able to drive the vehical but this is an issue if it's raining outside or at night.
Fuel pump keeps running after vehicle is off and key out of ignition, draining battery. Have to disconnect battery, or pull fuel pump relay fuse to stop fuel pump from burning out.was told it was tipm unit, the same unit unit that has been recalled on other fca/chrysler vehicles, but not on rams.
Truck wont start,or shuts down completely while driving, mechanic says fuel pressure problem.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle lost power and seized without warning. An independent mechanic went to the contact's home and diagnosed that the totally integrated power module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to tom ahl chrysler, dodge, jeep, ram (617 king ave, lima, oh 45805, (419) 909-6322) three weeks prior to the independent mechanic 's diagnosis. The dealer replaced the battery, connector, and reprogrammed the fuel relay. The failure recurred and the vehicle seized without warning. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.
Vehicle cranks but doe not start, especially in the mornings.dealer installed an external fuel pump relay, hopefully it will solve the issue.
Truck stalls abruptly, headlights and interior lights go off and instruments on dashboard flash on/off for up to 2 minutes.after a few minutes of waiting and attempts to restart truck, truck finally restarts .
The truck started to have issues starting, when i would turn the key off and on numerous times, it then would kick the fuel pump in and then start. The problem got worse and worse. Once the truck started then it ran fine. It then started to have the fuel pump with the key offand not running.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle lost power and stalled. The contact went into the fuse box to restart the vehicle. The tire pressure monitoring system and traction control warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to mike brown chrysler dodge jeep (4970 e u.s. Hwy 377, granbury, tx 76049, (817) 279-1500) where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module was faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 64777982. No further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 140,000. The vin was unknown.
I replaced a fuel pump, then a battery, because i was told that was the problem with my 2011 ram 1500. Come to find out it is a defective tipm module that is now on recall for several other models of dodge vehicles. My tipm is the same ones on recall except not on the ram 1500. It has cost me $1,300.00. Not they want $1,200.00 more. Add me to any complaint and recall repairs you may have.
While driving at freeway speeds my truck completly shut off, i lost power to everything, including power steering. I had previous had my truck into the dealership for problems with my fuel pump staying on and learned it was a problem with the tipm (totally integrated power module) which chrysler is aware of and has recalls for some vehicles in certin states. The symtoms my truck is having is the same listed in many of the complaints, ie. Vehicles randomly shutting off, fuel pump staying on and draining the batteries, air bags randomly deploying. After researching multiple fourms and website i found its a very common problem among chrysler vehicles. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed due to faulty parts and equipment.
My information and a short story follows:if it were not for the quick thinking and fast reflexes of my wife, when the truck stopped running at 60 miles per hour on a major freeway, we would have been in a catastrophic accident.as it turned out she was able to steer the truck to the emergency lane which was no simple feat considering there was no power steering and no power brakes.i took my truck into my dealer when we got home and it took them 6 days to diagnose the problem. After the diagnoses it took another 2 days to get the part and to install it.all i want is to be reimbursed for the cost of the tipm module and the installation fee. The receipt and itemized work list are attached to this email.
The engine seems to crank but not start.the vehicle sounds a lot like this and fully fully and charged.in the next days we will test the fuel relay but it seems to not be delivering fuel correctly to the engine system.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlfjfb4hsn0
The tipm our dodge truck is faulty.it has issues starting, the lights will stop working, the lights on dash come on, there is an issue with the oil just disappearing, the fuel pump relay.i have done extensive research online and saw that several vehicles under chrysler and dodge have had this issue with faulty tipm and there was even a class action lawsuit,but the nhtsa felt there wasn't enough of an issue with the dodge rams to push for a recall.i believe that this needs to be pushed for a recall. This issue is occurring in a lot of rams and they are passed the warranty and when you purchase a new warranty this issue is not covered.all expenses are paid out of pocket.this is an issue that chrysler and dodge have been aware of for years.our dodge ram has been at the shop several times with issues and they did not tell us once about the tipm issues.we had to figure it out ourselves with internet research.a customer should not be paying close to or over $2,000 out of pocket to fix an issue that the manufacturing company new was a defect or faulty. Several million dodge ram owners have had this issue over the years and have reported it according to the publication of the nhtsa.i don't understand why customers are being punished to protect the manufacturer's mistakes.our dodge has spent more time in the shop in the past year then with us.we have only owned the vehicle for two years.
I was having issues starting my truck, so i took it in to the dealership for a diagnostic. I learned the issue was a faulty tipm sending bad signals to the fuel pump. Because the system is integrated and dependant on one another the repair is very expensive and extensive.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced stalling and failures with starting. The failures occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tipm needed to be updated.update installed and has not corrected problem.most likely has failed and needs to be replaced.the failure mileage was approximately 62,000.. ..updated 11/01/16 the dealer informed the consumer the fuel pump relay was faulty. The dealer fixed the problem by supplying power to the fuel pump, using an alternative source. Updated 11/03/16.
Fuel pump relay switch inside the tipm commonly failed on a variety of chrysler vehicles. Vehicle shuts off while driving down the road which could cause an accident.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving 40 mph, the battery warning indicator illuminated, the vehicle lost electrical functionality, the steering wheel seized, and the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after a minute and the electrical functions returned independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was also taken to lake elsinore chrysler dodge jeep ram (31400 auto center dr, lake elsinore, ca 92530, (951) 225-4749) and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v739000 (electrical system). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.
Pickup will not start due to the ignition. I have to jiggle (back and forth or in/out) the key to get it to turn over but will only start 1 out of 3 times seems like engine is not getting any fuel but can hear the fuel pump cycle also alerts will randomly display when vehicle is on. Tire inflation alert stays on all the time but all tires are aired up to specs also several other alerts display partof the time.
When driving for an hour or so, electric system light goes on and stays on, like right now. When driving also feels like truck will die and then picks up again, these things are when truck is in motion.
The tipm is malfunctioning.the truck starts by itself while parked, lights malfunction, windows go down by itself, new headlamps go out.we are afraid to park in the garage because it could start and run while we sleep.extreme safety hazard.
My truck started out with a dead battery which i replaced and it started in 9/16. Around 12/17/16 i was parked in my truck talking to my neighbor when i decided to turnoff truck and get out of truck. I turned the keyfob to off position only to have it stay running, i than turned keyfob back to on position than back off where it shut off. I pulled into driveway same day and than the keyfob stuck in off position with truck still running. My husband go in it and started to fool around with it putting it into neutral than park than reverse and it finally came out. 1/11/ 17 i started truck noticed tipm light on and traction control light on. I pulled out of driveway the tipm light went out but the traction control light stayed on the whole entire time i was driving it. Then i got home and the key literal fell out while driving it and i lost all power. When my husband came to my rescue the truck started just fine and he drove it home only to have turned the keyfob to off position and pull out the keyfob and have the truck still running. He had to pull the 5amp #27 fuse and disconnect the battery in order to turn it off. Brought to dealer only to be told no recall issues, that they think it has something to due with my after market stereo that was put in over 5 years ago. The advisor called me after having to truck for 3 day to tell me tech needs another 4 hours with itand it was going to be 600.00 ontop of the 150.00 i already owed . I asked to speak to manager who could not tell me that they ruled anything else out would not even give me a printout of what was done. I asked about the tipm and he looked at me like i was crazy. I will be taking vehicle out with no repairs and told them if i crash and kill someone or myself their heads are going to roll, this is definitely a dangerous situation.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle intermittently would not start. When it would start, the vehicle would take approximately 20-40 minutes to start. The failure happened without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump failed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The failure was diagnosed again as the totally integrated power module. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Truck will not start, it acts as if the vehicle doesn't have any fuel. A mechanic diagnosed the issue as thefuel pump relay.
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500.

The technician diagnosed that the fuse box was failing. The technician used a unknown part to bypassed the system. The vehicle was repair. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 116,634.
Fuel pump relay will not engage at times. Turning the ignition key several times solves issue. Fuel pump relay will no long shut off the fuel pump after turning ignition off causing a major safety hazard as the fuel pump continues to pump until battery is drained. Possible safety concernsinclude over heating of fuel pump causing a short short in the fuel pump which may lead to the gas tank exploding. Voltage test were completed to verify relay is the issue. Not understanding why the same issues were present in the 2011 grand caravans and grand cherokees, which where recalled, running the same total integrated power module as mine and several others was address but not the other models.
Motor needed replaced then cam sensor then crank sensor now engine wiring & sensor fluid temperature & module powertrain co dealer has had vehicle since 10/10/16 motor over heated had to pull off road got vehicle back after paying for new engine got back then one thing after another stalled each time while driving.

2 years ago had to replace the tipm on my truck and noe its starting to mess up again. Trucks just dies while driving no warning. It just a matter of time before i have to replace it again. It should be a recall. It cost me 1500.00 to repair
My truck would crank but not start sometimes after being parked for a while.i thought it may have been from the humidity.it will crank and not start a couple of times more often now.when driving on the highway sometimes, it will sputter for a couple of seconds.i thought it might have been from having a little water in the gasoline from the ethanol.i've been using fuel injector cleaner and seafoam every so often since 2014.the truck is 6 years old.i've been reading about how others have been having a problem with the fuel pump relay going bad on the same year model vehicle and other make/models by dodge.
While accelerating to a normal pace on a highway my vehicle suddenly lost all electrical power and the engine stalled. I was able to safely coast to the shoulder and stop. I turned the key to the off position and then tried restarting the engine, which was successful. I continued on my way. Clearly this incident could have resulted in an accident and injury in less lucky circumstances.an issue i believe is related pertains to the headlights. The right side headlights (high and low beams) have at times cut out randomly while driving. Recently they died altogether. My dealer determined the bulbs were fine, and that the problem was the total integrated power module, which had to be replaced.
2011 ram 1500 tipm issue.ram 1500's are not part of the known recall for durango and grand cherokee's however a quick search reveals the same issue that plagues my 2011 ram 1500.on two separate occasions my vehicle quit running on the highway for no apparent reason.vehicle had power but would not crank.problem was diagnosed as a faulty tipm.
My truck will not crank sometimea. I put a new starter and new battery on it and it works for a while and then stops. One time the fuel pump ran with the truck turned off my service man says it's the computer box and this morning it would not crank at all. This part is very expensive and hard to find, from what i've read this is a common problem with this model.
Truck will not start.technician found an internal fault on the tipm module.will need to be replaced.currently, there is a fault of the tipm module, if the tipm module fails (loss of power to fuel pump), could lead to a crash/loss of life.
While the engine is shut off the fuel pump will continue to run and will cause the battery to die. This is the result of a faulty fuel pump relay. This part has been recalled for other chrysler vehicles with the same tipm but not for dodge ram trucks.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While parked, the vehicle caught fire. There were no warning indicators illuminated. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed by the insurance company. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.
My right rear turn signal and my brake light stopped working . I took it to the dealer and it was found to have an issue with the tipm or a fancy fuse box . My complaint is that chrysler is at fault for this defect which can cause an accident because lack of light signals. They need to identify an immediate and a robust fix to avoid accidents. I never had an issue like this in my othervehicles and the implementation of light signals has been around for over 50 years . Any investigation and follow up would be greatly appreciated.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I spent 30+ minutes trying to get my truck to start then when i finally got it to start where i could drive it i got on the highway and my headlights randomly shut off then then not even to minutes later my truck stalled out on me on the highway and wouldnt start back up for another 30 minutes or so.
Truck has a dead short in the tipm. I have to disconnect the battery post everytime i stop. Engine will crank and turn over but often will not start. When it does start it sometmes dies out and/or hesitates while driving creating a very hazardous situation. How many complaints reporting the same problem does it take to get this problem as a recall? the same part already has a recall for jeep and chrysler. Do people have to die first? 119,000miles on a very well maintained truck

Tipm failure in 2011 dodge ram 1500engine will stall while driving, radio and power windows work on and off, battery will die from fuel pump trying to run all the time
Truck would not start, would crank but not start. No warning lights (check engine) etc. Had to take it to local dealer, dealer contacted me next day informing me it was the pinion whatever that is. Cost of repairs is over 1200 dollars. Found out that the pinion is the hi tech name for the fuse box that's under the hood. I asked to see the old part and the person at the parts counter stated that they changed (3) three of them today,.. That's very sad to hear for us dodge owners.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While turning the key in the ignition in cold weather, the vehicle failed to start. In addition, the radio volume fluctuated without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module (tipm) failed. The tipm was reprogrammed; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The approximate failure mileage was 33,000.
The ignition switch has gone out in my vehicle and i was advised at the dealership that there were approximately ignition switches out for delivery and there was a 3 week delay for getting in the part.this tells me there is an issue with this part.i am now without a vehicle and having to get a rental car.
The vehicle has a bad tipm, the fuel pump relay does not work and the vehicle will not start at all now. The first incident occured as i making a left hand turn across oncoming traffic. The vehicle stuttered and stalled. Immediately afterwards it would take several attempts to start the vehicle. Now it will not start at all.
At first my truck started taking longer and longer to actually start.it would turn over but only run at 200 rpm and die out.this problem was sporadic and seemed to be worse after the truck had not been started for 12 hours.eventually the problem went from occasional to weekly and daily.there was no dash lights indication an issue.my truck stalled twice on me while driving to work .each time the vehicle stalled i would sit in the street, luckily no one was behind me and thati was not in a turn.when the vehicle died i would lose all power steering. I drove directly to a mechanic.he checked it and saw no major issues, stating that all of the readings were normal when checked.we decided to change my spark plugs and flush the fuel system in an attempt to solve the problem.drove great after the work.the next morning it did not start,back to mechanic again, was told to leave the key turned to on position to help the fuel pump prime/ all readings were normal.issue persisted. Left truck at mechanic third time while out of town for the week so he could take readings after the truck sat, since that was when the issue happened.again the mechanic was not confident of what was causing the issue since there was no check engine light.the problem got worse, it was taking me over 45 minutes to start truck each day, it would crank but not start.then im started noticing my battery was dead on many mornings.i thought it was due to how long i was cranking to start, until one day when i happened to walk by my truck and hear a humming sound.i went underneath and could tell it was the fuel pump.i unplugged the fuse for the fuel pump and the humming stopped.for now i just unplug the fuse every time i stop to keep the pump from drawing down my battery.contacted local dodge dealer and was quoted $1200.oo to replace tipm.
Everything ran fine in the morning, truck sat for a few hours then windshield washer fluid motor won't work, power locks are out, high beams won't shut off at all,and power locks are out as well.
Electrical issue.
Engine shuts off while driving, fuel pump remains on after key removal, will not start easily.fuel pump relay failure in tipm.engine stopping has occurred while turning onto interstate highway, while driving down a state highway and in a parking lot.it happens at random times.
Tipm (fuel pump relay) does not let the truck start.its not all the time mostly in cold weather. I have been stuck out with the truck not starting.dealer has diagnosed the problem. 1500 to get it repaired. Vehicle was stationary.driver and passenger side led courtesy mirror lights don't work all the time. Evidence of moisture on lenses.
Vehicle motor stops running during driving all power is lost, had happened more than 3 times over time and starting to do it more often very dangerous to have your vehicle shut off while you're driving it.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While traveling 55 mph, the battery warning indicator illuminated. When the contact reached his destination, he checked underneath the hood and could smell wires burning. The next day, he discovered burn marks on the alternator, which had also melted. Abernethy chrysler dodge jeep ram (1442 e main st, lincolnton, nc 28092, (704) 732-1890) was notified of the failure and stated that there was no recall on the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified and referred the contact to nhtsa. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 148,000.
While starting from a stop if you momentarily hold your foot on the brake and accelerate. When you release the brake the car begins forward then all warning lights come on and car shuts down from 1 to 10 seconds. If you are pulling into a busy road where you might momentarily spin the engine up in order to have better response you are left stuck out in the road in traffic. Also happens if you are towing on an incline and you spin up engine before releasing foot brake. You would do this in order to not roll back. They said the code says you should not drive with 2 feat. I don't think it should happen they say it's normal. Very dangerous. Have brought the car in multiple times since this has occurred.
My truck for about a year now has been having issues with the fuel system not working properly. Over time it has got a lot worse i went through and replaced the fuel pump with the original pump and still hasn't helped. Through research i was able to narrow it down to a tipm issue. Not only is it affecting my fuel system but also the windshield wipers will at random go up a few inches when unlocking the truck or opening the door. The fuel system issue is when i go to start it will just crank constantly and not start to now i might get it started after a few attempts but then it just stalls after a second of running. It has also at time while driving just randomly stalled in the middle of the road creating a hazard of a accident. I see this seems to be a common issue within these trucks but nothing has been recalled for the issue. I have had to recently pull the fuse every time i park for a period of time to prevent the fuel pump from constantly running and killing my battery which happened just the other day. Back in august i had to purchase a new battery due to the other one dying on me i believe due to the fuel pump tipm issue.
Just took my vehicle into the shop on 2/17/15 due to the battery being dead as a result of the fuel pump running all night. Aaa certified shop just informed me it would cost 1600.00 to replace the tipm and program it for my key etc. There is a faulty fuel pump relay inside the tipm and i have to replace the entire module. This issue is most likely related to the durango/jeep recall for the exact same issue, as well described in the class action lawsuit. It is not covered by any warranty.
My truck is a 2011 with only 63 thousand miles on it. The truck would crank but not start right away whencold. At first it would run fine once warm but eventually it started stalling when warm. I thought it was either the fuel pump or the tpim which i found out about online as many people are having the same issue. I asked the dealership and they stated it's definitely the fuel pump. I went to a local shop to have them test it and surprise, surprises it was the tpim. Well it's a thousand dollar part and another $500 to program the new one. The issue is with a rely the chrysler put in the unit the is part of the mother board. So instead of replacing one relay that entire unit has to be replaced. Yes a $1500 job for a 5 cent relay that dodge decided to not make stperate from the tpim mother board.one other thing, i asked the dealership if th toim could be the issue and they said we have had problems with them but never for you year vehicle. That is why they were so sure it was the fuel pump. Online they have an after market kit that you can buy ifyou have some electrical skills so you can bypass the relay in the tpim. It's such a problem that a company is making money by producing an after market item to fix the issue. Knowing this i can't understand why there has not been a recall. Especially being it's so expensive to fix properly.

Truck will not start, stalls out in traffic and fuel pump continues to run even after vehicle is turned off and key removed. Diagnosed as totally integrated power module. Dodge recalled the same part on the 2011 durango but not the ram pick up.
Began when i purchased truck of integrated brake failure later turned into bad instrument cluster, visor short, new brake controller and lots of hours.when starting vehicle wipers come on, no interior lights, no turn signals (inside or outside) no heat, no radio no trailer brakes.now vehicle has been at dodge for 2 weeks.they replaced, instrument cluster, wiring harness, tpms and problem remains.very unsafe to drive as no indicators and wipers constantly on.problem began around 1 month after purchase and plagues me today.i have extended warranty and i am charged 100.00 per visit.customer care will not provide me with options i must dictate my choices.terrible service.
Nhtsa action number: dp14004 my ram 1500 2011 has a fuel pump internal relay in the tipm.the battery runs down every night while sitting in my driveway and it has a brand new interstate battery. My alternator has tested out to be in perfect working condition.previous to my battery dying the truck wouldn't start for several minutes without cycling the key -- now all i have is a dead battery every morning.
Inserting the key fob turns on all electrical without turning the key. After the engin is running, you cannot turn it off with the key. It continues to run with the key removed.

This has been on ongoing issue. First would not start finally after trying so many times i just started using another car and i got the fuel pumped replaced then the same issue now the ac unit was not working so i replaced it 3 times. Well now it still does not work and after several attempts to fix it i just give it some time to start now. Only way to start vehicle. Then while on the fwy the vehicle just lost power i assume but my speed was declining while i was driving so i tried to press on the gas or breakbut both were too stiff wouldnt do anything and finally maybe like 25 seconds that my vehicle was like that finally i could feel that i was able to press on gas i could tell my speed was rising then the break no longer was stiff and hard to press on . But this is very dangerous . This all happened on hwy at 70 miles

For several months my 2011 ram 1500 ran rough and at times would not start. I researched and found that the tpim on several dodge products had the fuel pump relay fail of which several models were recalled because of this. My ram vin did not show a recall so i called dodge corp and they said that they did not have enough problems to recall this unit. The failures that occured that were recalled had the same tpim box. Why is mine not considered. I would like a recall added for this model and the fix that was made to fix mine be refunded. Please advise as to what should be done...

My 2011 ram 1500 laramie 4x4 was parked in my driveway overnight and the battery was dead. This battery was five years old, so i replaced the battery and the very next morning the new battery was dead.i charged the battery and took the vehicle to have the alternator tested, the gentleman told me the alternator was not charging like it should, so i replaced the alternator. I drove the vehicle around for an hour and went back home.the next morning the battery was dead again. I can drive the vehicle during the day and all works well unless it is parked for over 5 hours.the battery drains during that time and the vehicle will not start unless the battery is charged.i have listened for the fuel pump to turn off and on and i believe it does turn off/on according to what i know.however, i did notice the fuel pump continuing to run after it pressured up, after about 5-10 seconds. I have pulled the fuel pump relay fuse and it appears to be fine.i have also had to replace the passenger side headlight twice in the last two years and am not sure if this is related.

I have 2 on going issues with my 2011 ram 1500 outdoorsman 5.7 4x4 with ram box.first issues:shiftier doesn't lock and slide out of gear or park with or without key in ignition.when in gear and running and ready to park vehicle it doesn't seem to go in park most times which then can't be shutoff or key can not come out of ignition.this seems like an ongoing problem for other ram trucks on forum sites and reviews of these trucks.what should i do?why isn't this trucks vin have a recall on this?second issues:i am having problems with the built in power to the integrated module fuse box that powers the fuel pump.this keeps either killing my battery or making my truck stall while i'm driving.this has caused some scary situations.we traced the draw of power pack to the fuse box's built in relay which is soldier to the bottom of the fuse box and there isn't one that can be replaced.the only option is to replace the whole unit for over $1,000+ not including dealer mechanic costs.the battery was replaced 2 times and multiple visits to mechanic to check, charge battery and alternator.after my mechanic and myself researched this to is a mass problem on the internet and forums and either a purposeful design flaw or nevertheless a poor and unsafe one with these trucks.this causes 2 issues with my truck and kept me freezing in the cold on numerous occasions and stalled multiple times on roads and highway straightaways and while turning affecting power steering loss when driving?what should i do?why isn't this trucks vin have a recall on this?how come big business can not be held accountable for their mass production of faulty dangerous parts that hey are designing and using in the trucks they build.where there be a recall of the issues mentioned above?thank you!
2011 ram 1500 sport with tipm-7.vehicle started having problem starting, i took it to a repair shop and it was diagnosed as a loss in fuel pressure.replaced fuel pump.did not fix problem. After research found out this truck has tipm-7.repair shop verified this.the injectors were checked and were fine.engine runs perfectly after start.diagnosis faulty fuel pump relay.the same fuel pump relay that chrysler recalled 230,000 vehicles in 2014 and an additional 467,000vehicles in 2015. Why won't chrysler fix their screw ups?
2011 dodge ram 1500 stalled at busy intersection had it towed home, stalled in busy freeway 198 and had to be towed home, the code said it was the fuel pump, had it replaced, the vehicle still stalled. Took it to hanford dodge they diagnostic says it was the tipm, they same problem that was recalled for the durango. This is a major safety issue with dodge...they need to reimburse me for this they have been putting in faulty tipm knowingly
Fails to start, fuel pump shuts off while driving causing truck to stall multiple times on city streets to and from work and on the highway 2x driving to visit relatives, tipm not sending signal to the fuel relay, had 4 mechanics including 2 chrysler service shops to finally diagnose the tipm failure, will have further documentation upon replacement of tipm from chrysler dealer.
The ignition switch doesnt work for the key fob and the truck wont start unless the alarm goes off then a bunch of sensors go off and beeps and when plugged in says a sensor issue but then there is no way to fix it according to dodge. This has been going on for the last few months.

Started first on the highway when i lost power. I was going 70 mph on the truck and then on it's on it lost power and went down to 60 mph. Since then i have gotten an electronic throttle light malfunction that's blinking on my dash board, also the electronic stability control light and also the engine light is coming on. I have also recently replaced my fuel tank, because i would hear the fuel tank still working when my engine was off. I've read online that my fuel injectors and/or my fuse box may be going bad because of this.
My truck started having an issue after my last recall was completed.the check engine light kept coming on took back to dodge, and the said it was fixed. So after check engine light kept coming on, got a system check said it was associated with fuel pump or line. When mentioning to doge said it was not associated with recall. Now my truck will not start without a jump off and recently cut off while i was driving went dead in the middle of road. No power at all i had to jump out quickly and jump my truck off just to get to safety.this is dangerous. I could have been hit due to this issue. Because of the constant jumping of due to battery dying due fuel pump not shutting off. The fuel pump is going out and it was mentioned this was a know issue for dodge rams.

The electrical system keeps telling me that there is an issue with the fan system, but it only happens when it rains. When this happens the check engine light comes on and the eco system shuts off. After a day or 2 from rain, the system works properly again. It can so sometimes bypass the issue by pulling the battery and re-installing it. The seats also wear down to the point they need to be replaced after just 20k miles

9-16-16: vehicle lost all power and had to be "jumped".9-17-16:new battery installed but later in the day, starting problems went on.9-19-16: vehicle taken to dealer;initial problem identified as needing new fuel pump and plugs.later, this was then identified as having a faulty "tipm" and that cost would be over $2000.00 (that included a new fuel pump.internet research shows that the manufacturer has apparently been aware of this problem but will not take action to issue a recall.in reality, did we buy a vehicle which the manufacturer knew to contain defective parts?parts, which in reality, cause safety issues?shame on them!i thought that i had a quality vehicle.i paid over $45,000 for this truck and it was build with this defective part?help me out here and help out thousands of others who are just waiting for the same thing to happen.
My vehicle will not crank all the time. The box under the hood is going out and it can cause the vehicle to catch on fire. Our mechanic can not find the replacement part. We out new starter battery and fuel pump on it. It caused the fuel pump to run without a key.
Tipm failed !!!!! while i was driving the vehicle just shut down. Wont start.
Fuel pump relay malfunction while driving the fuel pump stops and the vehicle shuts off putting myself and others at risk of traffic accident with no warning other models have a recall but not this one
At first the vehicle was not starting immediately when turning the key,then i heard a buzzing sound coming from the fuel tank my husband had to disconnect the battery for it to stop. We took it in to the service dept at a dodge dealer and at the time they could not verify problem. I was told to continue to drive it and note when it happens again. I drove it a few more times and while driving the vehicle would die more frequently with the on hills, from a stop sign, and on straight aways, once the steering froze. There were few days of the vehicle not starting at all. A vehicle owner should not be afraid to drive their truck, which i am.a month later i took it back to the service dept and they heard the buzzing sound and then was able to verify that it was the tipm . I have noticed other owners have been experiencing the same problem.here i have a vehicle, mind you which i just purchased less than 3 months ago and i am having these major issues. But the worst part is it will cost $1600.00 to repair and my extended warranty will not cover it.i think this problem should be addressed and a recall should be issued for this problem. No one should pay out of pocket for this especially if it could result in bodily harm or death. Someone seriously needs to look into this problem.
I was having problems starting my truck, so i jumped it with a booster pack and it started right up. I put a new battery in and worked for a couple of days and then it began having problems starting again. I took it to a dodge dealer and they found a flash for wcm that states fixes intermittent start issue and reprogrammed wcm. It worked for a couple of days and then again began having issues starting again. I read online that if i shift into neutral and then try starting it will work. This seems to work but it is annoying and i am worried it will leave me stranded or worse cause an accident.
I was just informed by my repair shop that my truck requires a new total integrated power module. This part costs $1300. It is responsible for regulating power to many electrical systems in the truck including the fuel pump. According to many online sources chrysler vehicles from certain years, especially 2011, are known to have faulty tipms and that the problem can cause problems ranging from annoyances to life threatening accidents. My specific problem occurs both when i am attempting to start it and when i am driving it. I am unable to purchase the necessary repair due to the extreme cost of the part. The unpredictable nature of this part makes this problem extremely dangerous.
3 year old tipm (fuse box) just decided to stop working on my 2011 dodge ram 1500.truck would not start.stranded my family out of state.dealership had to order a part which took 3 business days to ship to dealership from denver.cost us $1200 and a car rental.research online shows that dodge/chrysler are in a class action lawsuit regarding this item, but no recall has been issued.
My vehicle is stalling out while driving on a highway, my brakes and steering wheel lock up and i just had to try to get it stopped and turned off. Also, my fuel pump remains running after i have turned my pickup off. I have gone through two brand new fuse boxes, and two fuel pumps to try to resolve the issue. The fuel pump relay is what continues to fry, which in turn fries my entire fuse box due to it being built into the actual module within the fuse box. I am $1600 in with the same exact problems each time- i have done a lot of research on the issue, and i came across multiple recall notices for a 5.7 l hemi, which is what i have in my pickup.
The truck would not start after multiple attempts it was towed to a repair facility where it was troubleshot for 8 hours. It was determined that there was a fault in the tipm module causing intermittant power to the fuel pump, however, before a new tipm could be installed, the fault seemed to self-resolve and the truck once again began to work.now unsure if/when the tipm will once again misfire.
Fuel pump relay inside the tpim failed as did in the same unit that has been previously recalled in other vehicles.chrysler recall p54. Without warning the relay failed while hiking in the desert. I returned to a dead battery and a 17 mile hike back out to cell signal to get help. If this failure happened while driving down the road the results could have been a very deadly crash. Why is this part under recall on other vehicles and not this one? it is the same part!

When driving for an hour or so, electric system light goes on and stays on, like right now. When driving also feels like truck will die and then picks up again, these things are when truck is in motion.
I have a 2011 ram 1500 quad cab with the 5.7 hemi engine. The tipm started faulting and not letting the fuel pump run and start the car. Then it stopped the trailer/tow lights connection in the rear not working while i was in the middle of towing a trailer. The anti-slip was activated all the time and it turned off the vehicles radio and back up camera.
Started first on the highway when i lost power. I was going 70 mph on the truck and then on it's on it lost power and went down to 60 mph. Since then i have gotten an electronic throttle light malfunction that's blinking on my dash board, also the electronic stability control light and also the engine light is coming on. I have also recently replaced my fuel tank, because i would hear the fuel tank still working when my engine was off. I've read online that my fuel injectors and/or my fuse box may be going bad because of this.
Takata recallthe tipm went bad in my truck at 85,000 miles. Truck will not start at times, it will lock me out of my own vehicle (thank god my kids were never locked in). The fuel pump runs constantly even when the truck is turned off because the tipm does not allow it to turn off. It affects all of my electrical stuff, including radio, power locks and power windows. My windows will role down out of nowhere when the vehicle is turned off, and the windows will not role back up. The backup camera will come on while i am driving forward, my radio will freeze up to where i can no do anything to it. My key gets stuck in the ignition and will not come out! the whole entire truck just locks up. When you're driving, and it decides to shut off out of nowhere, i lose all power!!! no brakes or steering!!! its uncontrollable!! there has been many many complaints of this problem with the tipm in the 2011 ram 1500 including people almost getting into accidents. My friend also had this same problem and totaled his truck because it locked up on him while driving! all of these complaints and well aware of the problem, ram still decides not to recall it or even fix it!! if i was aware of this and known the danger i put myself in and others in everyday, i would have never purchased this vehicle!!
Truck wont start .. All other chrysler and jeep and dodges in 2011 models had a relay repair recall for the fuel pump. The 2011 ram 1500 dis not yet they all use the same tipm
Brake failure after "serv 4wd" indicator appears.was operating in 2wd mode, traveling at apx 30mph when after brakes applied the vehicle lost grip and slide. "serv 4wd" illuminated and had no brake power, use emer to stop.shutodd engine, restarted and message was gone.
Takata recalli have a 2011 ram 1500 with 82,000 miles on it. I got my truck towed to dodge because it was not starting. It would crank over but never start and then would lock up completely leaving me locked out of my vehicle and sometimes my key wouldn't even come out of the ignition. I told them all of this info and they told me it needed to be flashed! i paid $200 for them to flash my truck and supposively"update" it. A week later, it started doing it again. It wouldn't start or unlock! it even stalled on me while driving, causing me to lose all control! luckily i got it off the road safely: even with it being locked up and having no control!! not to mention that i am 7 months pregnant!!! the next morning i wake up to go to the store, and it would not start at all!!! once again, got it towed to the same dodge dealership!! i told them i want it done right this time since i paid for them to fix it the first time!!! i was not about to go into labor and not have a running vehicle to get us to the hospital!! they finally called me and said that it's a bad tipm! charged me $1,400 to repair it!! i get online to read about it, and i see thousands of other ram 1500 owners with the same problem!!! then i speak to a friend who owned a ram 1500 who recently crashed and totaled it due to the tipm going bad. If i would have crashed and lost my baby because of this issue, there would have been a huge problem! i do not get why this part has not been recalled yet for the 1500. 7 million other chrysler vehicles were recalled because of a faulty tipm! people are going to get hurt or die because of this issue!!! something needs to be done!!!

Truck makes loud rumbling sounds on bottom. There is a major electrical issue with the truck that drains battery resulting in the truck not starting. Stranded many places because of this issue
I replaced a fuel pump, then a battery, because i was told that was the problem with my 2011 ram 1500. Come to find out it is a defective tipm module that is now on recall for several other models of dodge vehicles. My tipm is the same ones on recall except not on the ram 1500. It has cost me $1,300.00. Not they want $1,200.00 more. Add me to any complaint and recall repairs you may have.
The vehicle stops unexpectedly while driving.this has happened on a busy street and highway almost getting into two accidents with family members in my vehicle
Truck stalls when coming to a stop. Truck stalls whenever shifting from park into reverse drive. Rattling sound coming from under truck. Dealership diagnosed it to a defective torque converter and is replacing it and the transmission fluid pump.
My truck would crank but not start sometimes after being parked for a while.i thought it may have been from the humidity.it will crank and not start a couple of times more often now.when driving on the highway sometimes, it will sputter for a couple of seconds.i thought it might have been from having a little water in the gasoline from the ethanol.i've been using fuel injector cleaner and seafoam every so often since 2014.the truck is 6 years old.i've been reading about how others have been having a problem with the fuel pump relay going bad on the same year model vehicle and other make/models by dodge.
Truck has a hard time starting first time of the day after that it is ok
Engine light cam on while driving on city streets, mechanic recommended replace plugs and coil, still showing problem. Mechanic recommended replace fuel injectors, still showing problem, now he says it is the cam shaft and lifter - he tells me this is going to cost an additional $4000., and there is a big back order of these parts from dodge and it will take at least 3 months. Now doing research i discover this is happening to scores of people - where is the recall???
My truck fails to start randomly, it just cranks.the horn will randomly go off by itself, and it has stalled on me twice while driving.after much research, it appears the tipm is bad.other 2011 chrysler vehicles have the same issues, and have had a recall.
I have a 5.7 hemi. It has a bad ticking sound on both sides and is misfiring on #8 cylinder. I can't figure it out and after researching about it this is an ongoing problem with the 5.7 hemi. I can't find a recall on it and i think something needs to be done about it. I think the dodge place should be held responsible since it's an ongoing problem with it. This ticking sound happen anytime it's running.
Engine lifters.i have a 2011 dodge ram 1500 i noticed a ticking noise coming from the top of the engine. Upon a free diagnostics test i was told my truck has lifter failure. The engine stalls in traffic hard to startquote to fix $3500 to fix. If i lived in a bigger city i would have been in a wreck by now because it isn't drivable it stalls out no power steering hard to turn brakes are hard to push sometimes it takes a while to start back up i wouldn't want to be on a busy high way. This isn't just a manufacturing problem it is a safety issue and needs action.
Coming for the senior center on the freeway. My truck began to shake and the engine light came on & a bell was ringing. I put my emergency light on, i did not know what was going on. Everyone around me had to slow down and i'm in traffic. They will run you over on the freeway. Blowing there horn and they can see something is wrong with you truck. The truck slow down so i keep going. When i got off the freeway i went to o'reilly auto part to see what was going on. The engine light was still on. They put the machine on it and said it was a misfire code 5 and other code also. Now to find out that it the cam/lifter that need fixing. Over $5,000.00 dollar work for this truck. I look on line to see if it was a recalls for this and found out that almost all the dodge ram was having the same problem. Something need to be doing. There are to may ram driver that coming out there pocket to pay for the same thing.
Suffering from a very common issue of exhaust manifold warpage causing leaks and broken bolts.the leaks are allowing exhaust to enter the passenger cabin which is causing headaches and sleepiness while driving.

Exhaust manifolds warped and broke the manifold bolts
Engine code reading misfire on cylinder 3 while driving down the interstate. Vehicle has less than 80k miles. Vehicle starts to shake and is harder to control, and loses acceleration, is random, almost causing a multi-car pileup. Issue is the camshaft and lifters. It is descibed in this communication https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/mc-10187058-9999.pdf this is apparently a known issue with anything with a 5.7, 6.0 or 6.4 hemi motor.spark plugs and plug wires were replaced 3/21/21, driven again on 3/22/21, same issue, almost causing another crash due to loss of power on the interstate when merging, and then shaking almost sending the vehicle into bridge.
Engine started misfiring in the no.1 cylinder and violently shaking, vehicle then lost power to the engine nearly causing me to be rear ended. Took it to the repair shop and defective lifters and camshaft were found, with only 85k miles this should not happen. Did research and this is a very common issue for the 5.7 engines, definitely needs investigated.
Driving home.check engine light went off. Engine started cutting out.tooling to nearest parts store to run a code. Came back and cylinder 3 misfire. Changed plugs and coils packs. Nothing changed. Took it to my nearest dodge dealership. Ran a check on it came back as cam and lifters. Said it's common on these trucks. Multiple trucks with the 5.7 hemi are having these issues before and after a 100k miles. These cam and lifters need to be looked at on the hemi motors with mds
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. While parking, the steering wheel became difficult to maneuver. The contact mentioned that fumes of smoke were coming from the hood. The contact opened the hood and discovered that an unknown hose was spraying liquid onto the serpentine belt. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vin was not included in the nhtsa campaign number: 14v475000 (steering). The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 77,000.
Driving on interstate today, the 4 wheel drive light beeped once and the engine died.luckily we coasted to the side, the doors would not lock, windows would not roll down.started would engage.sounds like tipm trouble.spents $200 being towed home 75 miles
At 158256 miles 5.7 hemi developed a miss fire while going 70 mph on the interstate. Problem was found to be caused by a failed lifter which required major repair and cost, cylinder head lifters,camshaft and associated parts needed replacement at a cost of $6000.00. After seeing multiple reports from other owners for the same issue i believe this shows poor quality in this 5.7 hemi. Dodge needs to do something to compensate affected owners who have no choice but to fix this costly engine failure due to still existing loan responsibilities. This issue instantly puts an owner in a upside down position owning the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 mph, the engine stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that after resetting the key, all the warning lights on the instrument panel illuminated.the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for a diagnosis. The technician stated that the control module failed and the win module needed to be replaced.the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.
Check engine light illuminated while driving. Lost power and had to pull over due to vibration. Could not drive even close to the speed limit and caused a traffic backup while driving it to the dealer. Code ws p0305. Misfire on cylinder 5. The dealer changed plugs, and coil pack. Reset check engine light.drove 12 miles and check engine light illuminated again. Returned to dealer. Mechanic stated it was worn cam. Estimated cost to repair is 4500-5000.this truck only has 140,000 miles on it. I have taken extra care with this vehicle. I'm retired and i planned on this being my last truck.upon investigationthere are literally 10000's of these engines breaking in this manner.it's not only trucks but in all of the various chrysler vehicles. This started with the first model 5.7 hemi. There is no comment or help from chrysler.this engine failure needs to be addressed by nhtsa. Individuals have little power to do anything which is why we rely on government organizations such as nhtsa to make our collective voices heard. I'm positive that you have thousands of registered complaints on this issue yet you have done do nothing? i know this will mean millions to chrysler. Do they have the nhtsa in it's pocket? sure seems to be the case since you are not representing the us citizens harmed by chrysler using faulty parts in the manufacture of the 5.7 hemi.where is the quality control? this should have been found if chrysler had quality control on the parts they use.i thought this was mandatory.i look forward to your response to see how you are wiggling out of this.
While traveling on a major pavedroadway i proceeded to accelerate up a large hill. Once my vehicle crested the hill, my vehicle began shaking considerable and the check engine light came on. I was able to make it home and using a scan tool was able to determine that there was a misfire in cylinder #2. Due to the vehicles mileage i chose to replace all the spark plugs. After doing so i cleared the previous listed code and drove the truck down the road. Almost immediately the check engine light came back on. I again drove it back to my house and after scanning for codeslearned the cylinder 2 was still misfiring. I then purchased a new coil thinking this would fix the issue. I again cleared the code and drove my vehicle down the road. No such luck. I then pulled the valve cover over the number 2 cylinder and learned that the rocker arm did not have the same range of motion when i turned the motor over as the other rockers did. Upon further research online i learned that other 5.7l hemi owners seem to have this same issue and it's a known problem that the cam rollers seize and wear away a grove in the camshaft. I believe this is a known defect in the motor and i am not sure why a recall has not been issued.
The tipm our dodge truck is faulty.it has issues starting, the lights will stop working, the lights on dash come on, there is an issue with the oil just disappearing, the fuel pump relay.i have done extensive research online and saw that several vehicles under chrysler and dodge have had this issue with faulty tipm and there was even a class action lawsuit,but the nhtsa felt there wasn't enough of an issue with the dodge rams to push for a recall.i believe that this needs to be pushed for a recall. This issue is occurring in a lot of rams and they are passed the warranty and when you purchase a new warranty this issue is not covered.all expenses are paid out of pocket.this is an issue that chrysler and dodge have been aware of for years.our dodge ram has been at the shop several times with issues and they did not tell us once about the tipm issues.we had to figure it out ourselves with internet research.a customer should not be paying close to or over $2,000 out of pocket to fix an issue that the manufacturing company new was a defect or faulty. Several million dodge ram owners have had this issue over the years and have reported it according to the publication of the nhtsa.i don't understand why customers are being punished to protect the manufacturer's mistakes.our dodge has spent more time in the shop in the past year then with us.we have only owned the vehicle for two years.
Truck won't start after sitting for a long period of time 5-6 hours, then it starts.power window & locks, visor lights, traction control, rear brake light, tire pressure monitoring light, all working intermittently. Ac outlet has never worked, key pulled out of ignition with truck staying running, key stuck in ignition won't release, big thing is truck shutting down while driving, now were afraid of driving it. Dealer looked at numerous times to blame our stereo in it. I have been researching it have found numerous complaints, don't know what its going to take for a recall, someone getting killed? chrysler has recalled it in the dodge durango, jeep cherokee and other vehicles but not ram 1500, cost 1000- 3000 from dealer who is the only one to fix ? it the tipm mother board that controls everything and i'm not even a mechanic please help this has been on going since 2011 when i bought it brand new
My truck started out with a dead battery which i replaced and it started in 9/16. Around 12/17/16 i was parked in my truck talking to my neighbor when i decided to turnoff truck and get out of truck. I turned the keyfob to off position only to have it stay running, i than turned keyfob back to on position than back off where it shut off. I pulled into driveway same day and than the keyfob stuck in off position with truck still running. My husband go in it and started to fool around with it putting it into neutral than park than reverse and it finally came out. 1/11/ 17 i started truck noticed tipm light on and traction control light on. I pulled out of driveway the tipm light went out but the traction control light stayed on the whole entire time i was driving it. Then i got home and the key literal fell out while driving it and i lost all power. When my husband came to my rescue the truck started just fine and he drove it home only to have turned the keyfob to off position and pull out the keyfob and have the truck still running. He had to pull the 5amp #27 fuse and disconnect the battery in order to turn it off. Brought to dealer only to be told no recall issues, that they think it has something to due with my after market stereo that was put in over 5 years ago. The advisor called me after having to truck for 3 day to tell me tech needs another 4 hours with itand it was going to be 600.00 ontop of the 150.00 i already owed . I asked to speak to manager who could not tell me that they ruled anything else out would not even give me a printout of what was done. I asked about the tipm and he looked at me like i was crazy. I will be taking vehicle out with no repairs and told them if i crash and kill someone or myself their heads are going to roll, this is definitely a dangerous situation.
Fuel pump relay inside the tpim failed as did in the same unit that has been previously recalled in other vehicles.chrysler recall p54. Without warning the relay failed while hiking in the desert. I returned to a dead battery and a 17 mile hike back out to cell signal to get help. If this failure happened while driving down the road the results could have been a very deadly crash. Why is this part under recall on other vehicles and not this one? it is the same part!
Engine cam shaft and lifter failure. Lifters fail resulting in cam shaft lobe wearing unevenly causing extreme shaking and misfire while driving under load and could cause drivers to wreck while in motion
"takata recall " first bought the truck in 2015.2nd day i had it almost cought on fire 78000 miles something to do with the battery. 2017 99000 miles lifters are ticking and it doesn't want to start it freaks outevery once in a while if you try and start itall the lights flash then it's good for a month
Driving down the road slowing down heading towards a stoplight and my 2011 dodge ram stopped at the stoplight and would not turn over it would crank but would not start. So i had to push the truck into a parking lot call for a tow truck and further inspect the vehicle. Upon looking at the vehicle and left looking under the hood i noticed coolant leaking but was not a problem. When the tow truck arrive 3 1/2 hours later i started talking to him and together his opinion of what happen possible timing or head gasket blown head gasket but that was not the case there was no leakage i still have compression spark and fuel coming to the vehicle. The vehicle was towed all the way back to my property where my brother-in-law assisted who has been a mechanic for the last 18 years has started going through it we have noticed some similar recalls with the timing chain issues which we believe that is the issue because we do have compression and spark ignition and fuel in the vehicle. If you can pleaseshed some light on this i would really enjoy hearing back so i can find out what's going on with the truck and may be a possible recall for this issue.

My engine has 99, 800 miles and my check engine light came on, the dodge dealership advised me that my cam shaft and my lifter was damaged and needed replacing. The dealership also advised me that it was caused by pre-mature failure.
I have had previous problems before this with engine and etc bolt light on dash, causing the truck to goin limp mode. I was told it was the throttle body and that the truck had to be reset. On sept 21/2012 the etc bolt light and engine light came on in city driving conditions. Wheni slowed down for traffic using the brake i let off the brake and before i could do anything the truck raced off on its own almost causing a accident without ever touching the gas, the cruise control was not on. I turned off key and dangerously coasted to the side of road. I turned off the truck and re started the truck. At this point i had only engine light so i took it to dealer. They replaced gas pedal and reset it. The truck always scared me after this. I feel that this is a great danger with the new wireless drive system.this needs to be looked at buy the builder of this truck.
While driving down the road the truck stalled out without any warning. I got it restarted after numerous attempts but the engine would continue to stall upon putting it in gear. Had to have it towed to the dodge dealership and rent a car from hertz. The dealership has had the truck now for 4 days and still can not tell me what is wrong with it. This truck has a 5.7-liter v8 hemi engine.
Truck was driving normally until getting on the highway. As truck was driving on the on ramp to highway and trying to merge into traffic it hit 60mph and started to shake violently and engine bogged down, slowing the truck down to under 60 mph. The check engine light came on, flashing. Slowed down and the check engine light went off and truck drove find. After pulling over to side of the road engine shut off and restarted. No issues. Attempted to merge back into highway traffic but again truck shook and bogged down once reaching 55mph.took into dealership and plugs and coil pack were replaced. This did not solve the issue. Catalytic converters was checked and it was not plugged and functioning properly.needless to say this was another ram with a bad lifter that cause the cam shaft to wear out. Engine was replaced.after engine was replaced this led to issues with the seal between the oil pan seal and the engine. The seal failed and was leaking oil. Took right back to dealership and they now have had to put two oil seals on. Please look into this issue as this is the 4th ram i've heard of listed in the last month with this issue. There are similar issues noted recently on this website.

I have a dodge ram 1500.a couple of days ago i was in rush hour traffic doing about 60 mph when the timing chain broke and the truck died! i was lucky to be able to coast across 4 lanes of traffic and onto the shoulder. After doing a quick search i found that there has been a recall on the same engine in the same year but only if its in a charger, challenger or a 300(the recall is called customer satisfaction notification p01, see attached) . The failure i experienced is the exact same problem as what happens in the cars. I was doing highway speed in fuel saving mode and when the engine automatically kicks into 8 cylinder mode the timing chain brakes. My vehicle is out of warranty and the dealer tells me the engine is not covered by the recall because its in a truck not a car.when the chain breaks in one of these engines it completely destroys the pistons and valves.i need new engine! this is very unsafe flaw in this engine and the recall should apply to all engines of this model including the ones in ram trucks. I am a very experienced driver im certain that if this had happenedto anyone with less experience this would have caused a very serious accident.
Truck started making a noise from the engine sounded like a bearing in a pulley brought it to a repair shop there diagnose was a valve seat going bad and it is common in 5.7 hem i engine which is what i have. How is chrysler helping truck owners repair this financially since it is a know problem that was not told to ram owners when they buy these vehicles. Only has 129,000 miles with a repair cost 4,500.00 -5000.00 dollars . This is the first ram i've ever owned and i really do expect dodge/ chrysler to help me out with this issue financially.this started last week when i first started the truck in the morning and in 1 week the tick tack sound went from every 2-6 seconds to every 2-3 seconds and increases when it warms up.
In a nutshell,, my truck had about,,,14k mikes on it. Purchased new. It took off in exess of 100mph. Couldn't stop it!!!!!!! almost killed my son and i!! have been fighting, ever since to get chrysler to replace the motor,, as it sounds every bearing in the motor,, when i finally put transmission in neautral to stop the truck. To date, the truck has a rearmain leak, because of instead of replacing the motor. Chrysler, tried to take the cheaper way out and only replace a part at a time. In doing so this,cost them way more $. Motor no longer has a bearing noise. But it does have a rearmain leak. That they have tried to repair3xs so far!! now,,,,, i'm still waiting to see if they will replace the motor, or try again??? last i knew the goslden rule was 3 xs and ure out!!!! my patience, is gone. The truck, has spent most of its life in a dealers garage. And most of its 40k miles are from the dealers tech.i have all documentation to prove everything i say. All from the day it took off on me. The real problem is..... Why did it take off? and the answer to that. I figured out. Who wants that info? cause i have figured that out. It took 3 yrs. To figure out. Is all i want is a new vehicle, as i never got to enjoy that. Just cost me alot of time, and $.
I was changing my spark plugs(upper bank).1 of the boots (that is between the coil & plug) pulled loose & stayed on the spark plug.had to dig it out in pieces.(the boot was flushed to the spark plug)noauto parts stores within 20 miles even stocked the boot.went to & called several dodge dealers.they only sell the boot with the coil(not just the boot) $65.00.this is totally uncalled for & unacceptable. I stayed away from dodges for years because of their bad products.seems nothing has changed.very disappointed. Dodge drops the ball again.not satisfied at all.if these people miss things this simple wow i don't even what to go there.
Vehicle motor stops running during driving all power is lost, had happened more than 3 times over time and starting to do it more often very dangerous to have your vehicle shut off while you're driving it.
While driving at freeway speeds my truck completly shut off, i lost power to everything, including power steering. I had previous had my truck into the dealership for problems with my fuel pump staying on and learned it was a problem with the tipm (totally integrated power module) which chrysler is aware of and has recalls for some vehicles in certin states. The symtoms my truck is having is the same listed in many of the complaints, ie. Vehicles randomly shutting off, fuel pump staying on and draining the batteries, air bags randomly deploying. After researching multiple fourms and website i found its a very common problem among chrysler vehicles. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed due to faulty parts and equipment.
While driving and during acceleration vehicle began shaking and engine light started flashing. Took it to dealership and they diagnosed cam shaft and piston problems. $4,464 and there's only 103,000 miles on engine. I was only 3,000 miles over extended warranty. Checked online and there's many more who are have had same problems. Still owe $20,000 on truck. Dodge should have to recall this. I'm not a rich person, had to take out a loan in order to pay but they still haven't fixed it yet because the specific part is on back order. That should tell you something.
Truck would not start, would crank but not start. No warning lights (check engine) etc. Had to take it to local dealer, dealer contacted me next day informing me it was the pinion whatever that is. Cost of repairs is over 1200 dollars. Found out that the pinion is the hi tech name for the fuse box that's under the hood. I asked to see the old part and the person at the parts counter stated that they changed (3) three of them today,.. That's very sad to hear for us dodge owners.
Engine would not start. Once started while driving motor would surge like not getting gas and almost stall. Mechanics replaced fuel pump but while driving and parking for dinner engine once again wouldnt start. Mechanics still havent resolved issue
My vehicle was in motion on the interstate. The cam shaft lifters fail, causing damage to the cam shaft. This is a very common problem. There is also an issue with the manifold bolts breaking off inside the engine. When i spoke with the dodge dealer, he advised me that he does these repairs on a daily basis. It is a very common and well known issue.

The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle three to four times in which it resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to addy's harbor dodge ram fiat (4849 us-501, myrtle beach, sc 29579, usa, 843-353-6761) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and started an investigation. The failure mileage was 137,000. Contact determined that fuel pump relay integrated into the (timp-fusebox) was permanently in closed position. Your recall r09/nhtsa 15v-115. Contacts short term remedy is to "jump" power to fuel pump from accessories circuit in (tipm). Incident occurred before relay became closed.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that at vehicle start-up, the engine rattled and vibrated without warning. Over time, the contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated while driving at 35 mph.

The contact was then referred to nhtsa and was offered no further assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 155,000.
Vehicle shakes and will lose its pulling power to where one can only go around 20 miles per hour. This happened on a bypass while going 50ish mph. The sudden slowing almost caused me to wreck. Engine code pulls up as misfire. After both spark plugs and on-coil plug was replaced vehicle done the same thing. Upon investigating conditions and knocking noise i discovered many have had problems due to lifter seizing and digging into cam shaft. This causes the cylinder to not open right making fuel air mixture to be off. Many forums and videos online blame bad lifters from factory. However i am personally uncertain of this so issue is unknown. Reaching out to dodge i get a message of sorry your vehicle is out of warranty. Vehicle only has 70853 miles on it but is past five years old. Others reported issue from 50-120k miles in their cases. I trully dont understand why there was no recall on this issue since it seems fairly common and people are out 1000s of dollars because of it.

Rocking noise at idle and when driving doesn't go away when warmed up
The truck burns through oil at a high rate and after it does their is no low oil light being turned on by the truck. The truck ran hot and made the cam position sensor fail. I am afraid it will burn even more and cause premature engine failure and sensor failure which is not cover by warranties. The last time in a month it burned through 4 quarts, the dealer said if they do not find anything wrong they would charge me a diagnostic fee. I have had many old dodge trucks and even a 2007 ram which always had oil between oil changes and that never burned through so much oil. This happens as i drive and never once does it say low oil, the only reason i figured it out is i am mechanically incline and observed the oil pressure drop down to 14ps on the trucks information consol. Also the truck had gone into a mode where the throttle did not respond and the truck would not down shift. All this happens at the same time and if it happens on a highway may cause a crash because the truck does not shift properly along with no oil the engine will fail.
The lifters are knocking and there's a tick in the engine. I've done some research and there's a whole forum regarding complaints for the hemi's 5.7l engines in this specific year of my vehicle and other fca vehicles, stating the notorious "hemi tick" and the lifters going bad. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection because i can't afford the amount shops are trying to charge. If multiple vehicle's, made by fca with the hemi engine for models 2011, are having the same issue i would think it had to do with a manufacturing defect. The vehicle has caused a major vibration and jerking when i try to drive which could in turn cause me to wreck! my vehicle has been inspected at a shop. My check engine light is on and came on after hearing the tick in the engine for awhile previous to the light coming on. The lifters knocking started about a month ago.
While driving my pickup truck at a speed of 30-35 mph, the power turned off and the speed decreased at a fast rate. Luckily, i was able to pull into a business to turn my ignition to "off" and turn my vehicle back on. I did not have access to any electrical equipment in my vehicle. This has happened four times in the last 2 months.
There has been a recall for other models same year but not one issued for the ram yet. I am having a problem with the tipm which was recalled on the jeeps and grand caravans. The truck tries to start but isnt getting enough fuel so there is a delay and several dry starts also the truck died the other day on me in traffic causing me to almost get hit on the driver side. I have the truck parked at home right now scared to drive it. Called dodge directly after some investigating and they cant answer my questions.
Vehicle will not start not getting fuel, remote start won't work.the problems are related to a faulty fuel pump relay and the no-start often occur when the vehicle is cold and progressively get worse. My research shows that this issue is related to a recall for faulty fuel relays thatare very common in 2011-2013 vehicles, like the jeep grand cherokee and dodge durangos but they were the only vehicles recalled. The problem is intermittent sometimes days apart or multiple times the same day. I an dating this today but have had issues since december 2018 if not longer.
First i noticed a tick in the engine when starting it cold. Turned out to be broken exhaust manifold studs and cracked manifolds on both sides. Passenger side was worse. Was replaced with grade 8 bolts and new manifolds and gaskets. Now i have a diagnosed lifter failure at 58,000 miles and it is only getting louder. It honestly sounds like a spun cam seal and flat lifter in my experience. Dodge will not remedy the problem as i bought the vehicle out of powertrain warranty. Many more are having the same exact issue with lifter failure. It is knocking hard. This is the described "hemi" tick. The camshafts and lifters are low grade material in this model. I have reports of diagnosis if needed.
Engine is loosing power, number 3 cyclinder is not working.i have done tune up and replaced plugs and coils.i have spent thousands on this truck to get it to work. The pic is plugs from #3 cyc after 2 months use.after reading about other ram owners having the same problem i am thinking it is a defect and should be looked into.
Occurred while driving - engine code flashed on dashpanel - dealership indicated that one of the hydraulic lifters on cylinder #8 seized, which then caused significant damage to the lobe on the cam.chrysler engineers and technicians at the dealership cannot determine the cause of the damage to the motor.every testing specification for the motor comes back as within engineering specs...the only suggestion that chrysler has at this point (which is after $4800 in repairs, and an additional 57 hours of diagnostics) is to replace the motor...??why?the engine tests are all within specifications...
While driving my truck just shut off. No warning lights or anything. Lost all power to steering and was lucky to get stopped with out getting hurt. It started right up like normal. Few days later it did it again. Just plain scary.
While driving in 30 below 0 fahrenheit weather the engine shut off while the truck was in motion at 55 mph. There was no power and once i stopped the vehicle i was able to restart it. This has happened several times and now the truck is refusing to start or even power on. The key fob will not start (manually or by the button), unlock, lock or activate the panic system.
My truck is in excellent condition and has been faithfully serviced at the dealership where purchased. It has 130k highway miles. Driving away from dealership after routine oil & lube, i noticed the engine was idling roughly at a nearby stop light. A few days later the cel illuminated. On 19 jul 2018 i returned to the dealership to have it checked. The invoice/ service summary states:"check engine light is on. Test and found cylinder #3 misfire. Swap spark plug, and coil. Still has #3 misfire. Can hear possable lifter noise. Will need to take apart engine to test."the service adviser told me cam shaft lifter wear is a known problem with the 5.7 liter hemis. He said they've had several casesat that dealership, and there were 70,000 parts on back order nation wide related to the problem. He also told me the estimated cost to repair would be $3,500 - $4,000. The invoice to check the cel was $122.91. I was told it should be safe to drive. Internet search of this problem confirms it is widespread. My engine now sputters and shudders when under pressure/ acceleration. Cel has remained illuminated. I'm stuck: can't get parts to repair, can't sell/ trade it with this issue, growing more concerned about driving it. Help please.
Engine started missing and vibrating when accelerating,engine trouble code p0303 appeared.took it to the local dealership and after inspecting they determined it to be the camshaft.i have read numerous similar complaints concerning this issue,chrysler needs to be responsible for this problem.all said and done the total cost was $3129.00.
After a couple repairs on same problem, i was driving to go shopping when etc bolt light and engine light came on again. I was letting off gas to slow down so i could try shutting truck off to reset computer so i could get it to dealer. When i let off gas the truck was accelerating on its own so i held brake down and let up on brake to inch forward to get all the way off road when it accelerated on its own like it was floored. I stopped and put it in park. In park the engine was racing at 3000 rpm. This is a dangerous faulty system.i had taken it to dealer and they reset it saying when they called factory they were told to reset it. If it happens again may be wire harness. I have taken time to file these complaints as i feel this is a deadly issue. These trucks have children riding in them and in other cars that may collide with them. Please research the wireless drive on the dodge ram 2011.
Dodge ram 1500 2011. Cylinder 3 misfire. Whenever i would go over 2k rpms or 70mph the truck would shake uncontrollably. I would have to pull off on the shoulder and restart my vehicle for the problem to go away. On 2 lane roads i would often hold up traffic because i could not accelerate. Many times, this problem made it unsafe for me to drive. When i was going 65mph down the highway and my truck would start to shake and slow down to 30 mph i was almost hit a number of times.took it to a mechanic where they changed the spark plug and coil with no fix. Took it to a mopar shop where they also changed the coil. This ran fine for about 10 miles then the same problem occurred. I took it back to mopar where they went more in depth and found that it was a problem with the lifter/roller and cam. The lifter got stuck and made a grove in the cam. I could replace them for 4.5k or replace the engine for 8k. With all the metal floating in my engine from the cam, i am going to replace the engine. This is absurd for ram to have not commented on this problem or fine a recall. They are afraid they will lose money and lose investors because this fix is not cheap. It is ridiculous for a "reputable" truck like ram to have this issue and not give a solution.
Roller bearing on lifter had failed requiring the replacement of all lifters and the camshaft.this occurred at 91620 miles in spite of a perfect service and maintenance record.
I was driving along at posted highway speeds when my engine suddenly failed and lost all power. Fortunately, i was able to drift to the side of interstate without incident where i called a towing company to be picked up. My truck has 130,000 miles on it but has never shown any sign of a problem. The truck was serviced regularly at 5000 mile intervals. Majority of mileage were highway miles between 70 - 75 mph. Normally, i would chalk this up to high mileage. However, during the search for any problems with a 5.7 l hemi engine, i noticed the following recall and was curios as to why my ram 1500 was not included: this recall covers a specific build period. The vehicles involved are 20092012 dodge challengers (lc), dodge chargers (ld) and chrysler 300s (lx) equipped with a 5.7l hemi engine (sales code ezd or ezh, which are the mds engines) and rear axle ratios of 3.06, 3.73 or 3.92 (sales code dmp, dme or dmh). The build period is from august 4, 2008, through july 10, 2012 (mdh 080406 through 071008). The recall is titled customer satisfaction notification p01 engine timing chain and chain guide and is dated february 2014. Since the engines are nearly identical, there is no reason that my truck should not be covered under this recall. The timing chain failure in my 2011 ram 1500 slt 4x4 crewcab caused catastrophic damage to the entire engine to the point where it need to be replaced. This truck was purchased new and was expected to last much longer than it did. I am very lucky to have been able to get safely off the highway without being involved in a major accident with one of the many tractor and trailers or washington dc commuters. There is no sufficient reason for the metal timing chain failure other than a manufacturer's defect already acknowledged in other vehicles with the same engine by the chrysler corporation.
While parking, the trk accelerated and almost hit 3 cars before stopping w brakes slammed to the floor. We are on vacation are 7 hrs from home!
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the contact heard loud abnormal noises and the engine seized. There were no warning indicators illuminated and the failure occurred intermittently. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. An unknown local dealer diagnosed that the camshaft and lifters needed to be repaired. The contact scheduled an appointment with an independent mechanic to have the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000.
At 140000 miles truck kick check engine light had it checked by mechanic codep0301 showed cylinder 1 misfire. Did trouble shooting, changing plugs, coil pack, injector cleaner, and air intake sensor.nothing worked. Did compression check and found cylinder 1 has lost compression.maybe broken valve spring, when tried to replace found valve was barely moving. Plus had a lifter tapping noise. Cost for repairs will be over $4000. Found out this is a common occurrence for this year truck with the 5 7 hemi.
After having the gas pedal replaced a few months later, now4/11/2013 the etc bolt light and engine light came on again at city speeds as i slowed for traffic , when i let off the brake the truck speed up very fast without ever using cruise control or touching the gas. I almost ran a red light, had to smash the brake down holding steering wheel tight to stop the truck after turning key off. I then restarted it i put it in drive. When i let off brake the truck took off like heck, almost like it was floored on its own. The car dealer called the for advice on this ongoing problem. They thenreplaced the throttle body.i do not believe it is the dealers fault, i believe it is a defect in the wireless drive that needs to be addressed by builder and recalled.
Has number 6 misfire and was determined after items replaced it is a seized lifter causing the issue
After passing a slow moving vehicle on the highway, my truck shut down.the engine cut off ,dash lights and park light started to flicker erratically and the headlights went off. I managed to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. In order to stop the lights from flickering i disconnected the battery (they flickered with the switch in the off position). As the lights flickered i could hear relays clicking under the hood and dash. After waiting a while i reconnected the battery and all systems came back on and i was able to start the truck and drive it home.the dealership will not be able to check it out until wed the 18. All systems seem to be normal. I have to go to work . I' m driving it 60 miles round trip everyday.
Driving on the freeway during rush hour traffic and my engine died.i could not get out of the traffic lane and my truck came to a complete stop.engine cranked, but would not start.someone helped me push my truck out of the traffic lanes (very risky for them and for me as traffic was still moving, swerving and causing a back up.)after about ten-fifteen minutes, the truck started and i drove it home.turned truck off and on and it seemed ok.next morning truck would not start, i sprayed starting fluid in air intake and it tries to start, so i am guessing fuel problems.truck started after much cranking, but don't trust it, not safe to go on freeway and cause another scary situation.research tells me this is a common problem. I did not suffer any losses, but may have caused other accidents due to the traffic back up i caused.
The check engine light came on while driving and the code was a p305 which is an engine misfire on cylinder 5. We had the truck looked at and the spark plugs were replaced then the coil packs none of which fixed the truck. Finally the dealership said the lifters in the motor failed which damaged the cam shaft. We had to replace the motor in the truck. The dealership even said that the part was faulty and dodge continued to use them in the engines.
On multiple occasions, the engine has died while turning at an intersection.on every occasion i was traveling at the posted speed limit prior to slowing down in anticipation of the turn.on every occasion the engine died right in the middle of the turn, causing me to lose both power steering and brakes, forcing me to just manhandle it to avoid collisions and hoping the guy behind me didn't plow into my rear end.i took the vehicle to the nearest dealer service center but they were unable to diagnose the problem or fix it.
Back in august of 2019 i bought my car to the browns 112 dealership and got work done to put in a new engine in the car this work took over 4 months, the check engine light was never off the car now a year later almost and the car is givin me the same problem with the engine shaking and now the dealership is telling me that 27,000 on the new engine the problem is mine and that i wreck the car which i don't understand how i did this
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. While the vehicle was being warmed up, an abnormal noise could be heard from the engine. The failure was persistent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Check engine light came out and vehicle became sluggish on highway. Cylinders missfiring. Lifter noise so removed and replaced camshaft and solenoid. Found many others with similar issues online: https://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2011/engine/lifter_and_cam_issue.shtml and https://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2011/engine/lifter_and_cam_issue-2.shtml
I was driving on the expressway and i experienced a loss of power. Upon diagnosing the problem, the mechanic said i have a misfire in cylinder #2. Tested all plugs and coil packs. They check good. Mechanic stated it's a camshaft and lifters that failed. Upon further investigation,i found 1000's of complaints on the internet about this same problem.this needs to be addressed by chrysler and a recall should be on this engine.
Lifter failure and cylinder misfire.loud engine tick which is caused from failing lifter and spring to cause severe damage to the cam.common problem with the hemi 5.7l.truck has less than 47000 miles and just out of warranty.repairs are costing $3800.00.truck is undrivable for fear of engine piston breaking cylinder wall.
Cam/lifter issue with the 01-11 dodge ram 1500! it's a factory engine problem that the average person can't afford to fix. It's been a problem since day one & yet it's still not a recall on it. Nobody has the time or money to fix a problem the manufacturers should have fixed before hand. Keeps throwing the cylinder 5 misfire code & everything that i can afford to replace has been replaced
Air conditioner condenser under dash went out at about 85,000 miles.at 105,000 miles check engine light came on. I took it to 3 different shops and all 3 found number 5 cylinder of my 5.7 cylinder engine was not operating properly. After deeper investigation it turned out to be a worn camshaft lobe. All oil changes were done at proper intervals and used synthetic oils. Mechanic said it was common with the 5.7 engine.
The manifold stud bolts are breaking off in the head most commonly with 7 and 8 cylinder...cause a horruble exhaust leak and causing the manifold to worp and crack
Engine is giving a code that a lifter is bad. With only 170000 miles this should never be a problem unless there is a defect with the parts used to make the engine.
We purchased a 2011 ram 1500 5.7l hemi in 2012 and loved it up untilnovember 2017, went in to power saving mode with cel on. Scanned codes and it was timing code. So we replaced the vvt solenoid and it is running even worse! we h ave spent over $2500 just trying to diagnose this truck! we are beyond upset about it, especially due to the fact that we dont even have it paid off! it has tons white smoke coming out of tailpipe, terrible misfire, shaking, blow by, pressure coming out of oil fill cap, and cel is on. Has cylinder 1 mi sfire. We have redone the spark plugs, intake manifold and gaskets, pcv, vvt solenoid,air filter, oil filter, coil pack,injector clips, and much more! have taken this truck to 4 ase certified mechanics (2 of which are chrysler dealerships) and have no answers besides possible causes cams and lifters and they want me to just buy another engine!!obviously something is wrong with the pistons,rings, cam,lifters, and crank. $2500 plus in just diagnosing and no answers?! seems pretty fishy!
Vehicle lost power in traffic, unable to use hazard lights.towed to mechanic informed the tipm needs to be replaced.this ties in with an earlier repair involving the fuel pump that was continuously running.
Truck has 76k miles check engine light came on coded misfire cyl #5 no problem changed plugs. Still on . Changed coil still on . Drove to work next morning running very ruff very poor mileage. Mechanic picked up the truck. Called me back 1hr or so later lifter stuck not opening valve on cyl 5 completely.research online show this to be a very common defect for this yr make n model 5.7hemi. What is worse is that the manufacture has done nothing about it . Some dealers wont even bother to look at the issue. No vehicle should go from simple misfire code to catostrophic failure like that . And no dealer show allow its customers to suffer the losses for there negligence .........if you google ram misfire this is what you will find , and not one story will it be do to a spark plug or a coil. Catostrophic cam and lifter failure repair cost range from 3800-6000 not including loss of work or time.
To whom it may concern:i am the owner of a 2011 dodge ram 1500 sport edition with 70,000 miles. The other day, a check engine light turned on and i got a misfire on cylinder 2 code (p0302). The vehicle would jolt at low rpm's which is a common symptom of a misfire and/or low compression in one or more cylinders. After expensive diagnostic services had been administered, the mechanics found that one of the lifter arms had seized. The seized lifter arm caused extensive damage to other parts of the engine including the camshaft lobe on cylinder 2, and the exhaust manifold. After extensive research online, i found that lifters failing causing damage to the camshaft is a common issue only on the 2011 ram 1500 trucks. Many people have complained about this same issue on 2011 ram 1500 trucks, and each one has had a lifter seizure cause extensive damage to the camshaft. At this point, my only option is to replace all the lifters, valve springs, camshaft, and have each header inspected to ensure no further damage has occurred. In total this will cost anywhere from $2000 to $3000 out of pocket for parts and mechanical services. There is absolutely no reason for a lifter to seize on a truck with 70,000 miles that has been maintained regularly. In addition, there is no reason for more than 50 owners of the same truck to have this exact problem. There should be a recall for this kind of issue to replace bad lifters which can cause damage to the camshaft at fairly low mileage. I cannot fully express my disappointment and frustration in dodge as a company for ignoring the complaints of their hardworking customers. The only option i see is a thorough investigation regarding a bad batch of lifters in 2011 dodge ram 1500 trucks, and a refund/compensation to their customers for losses they may have had when replacing lifters, camshafts, etc.
When i first purchased the ram truck it would suddenly die, i would need to turn the ignition all the way off and it would restart with no problem.i worked for the dealer i purchased it from and they found no stored codes in the onboard diagnostic system. This occurred about five times and each time nothing was found. It stopped and has not re-occurred in almost 20,000 miles. In august and september of this year the vehicle suddenly went into a high engine rev for no apparent reason (like i was pushing the gas pedal but i was not).each time this occurred, the vehicle began to accellerate and i put it into neutral,i pulled off the road and turned of the vehicle and restarted it normally.it functioned normally after restart.i took it to a dealer in jefferson wisconsin who checked for codes and found nothing stored in the computer.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While parked, the vehicle caught fire. There were no warning indicators illuminated. There were no injuries. The vehicle was towed by the insurance company. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.
Wheel bearings transmission brakes alternator batterysitting still with alternator and battery and in motion with wheel bearings brakes and transmission
I was operating my vehicle when it presented a check engine light.i utilized a code reader to determine it was a cylinder 5 misfire code.the code disappeared after roughly 30 seconds.about an hour later, the check engine light came on and stayed on.the truck started violently shaking, causing me to almost lose control of the steering wheel. I had to quickly pull off to the side of the road from the middle lane, almost causing multiple accidents as my speed rapidly decreased. The shaking continued for another two minutes after which it stopped. I was able to get the vehicle home by traveling at a low rate of speed and keeping the engine speed under 3000 rpm. The issue was diagnosed as a failing camshaft and lifters causing a misfire and the loss of power. This is a serious safety issue, and i am not able to drive my vehicle for fear of the misfire occurring again and me losing control of the vehicle causing an accident.
Vehicle stopped running while exiting the florida turnpike. Timing chain broke due to a failure of a plastic chain guide causing bent valves and catastrophic engine failure. Similar failures took place in the challenger and charger models causing dodge to issue a 50,000 unit recall ( http://www.hotrod.com/news/chrysler-hemi-timing-chain-defect/ ).
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that when starting the vehicle, the vehicle hesitated to start. On occasions the vehicle was able to start, it would sporadically shut off. An unknown dealer diagnosed that the totally integrated power module was the cause of the failure and referred the contact to the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact to call nhtsa to file a complaint. The failure mileage was 110,000.
My truck was experiencing the misfire in cylinder 5, i took it into a dealership and there were 20 other dodge hemi vehicles there for the same part.these lifters are all on back order, why isn't this a recall when so many people are complaining of the same issue.they are saying that i may not get the lifters from back order for a while.this makes it impossible for me to work and if there are that many broken lifters in the hemi engines, they must be faulty!
I have a 2011 ram 1500 quad cab with the 5.7 hemi engine. The tipm started faulting and not letting the fuel pump run and start the car. Then it stopped the trailer/tow lights connection in the rear not working while i was in the middle of towing a trailer. The anti-slip was activated all the time and it turned off the vehicles radio and back up camera.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start immediately. Also, while driving various speeds, the check engine indicator remained illuminated and the vehicle stalled randomly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine cylinder was faulty. The cylinder was repaired, but the failures continued. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 120,000.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle windows failed to stay up and all the doors failed to remain locked, which drained the battery. Also, when the contact attempted to drive the vehicle, it failed to start and the check engine warning indicator remained illuminated. In addition, while driving 40 mph, the vehicle would lurch forward. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road and powered off the engine. Once restarted, the vehicle was able to drive normally. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.
My truck has always had proper maintenance done and at only 95,000 miles, there is a lifter failure that i believe is causing catastrophic failure in the engine. Researching this online, i have found numerous complaints from owners of other rams with the 5.7l hemi engine. Here is a link to a forum where multiple ram owners have experienced the same thing.(https://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/ram_1500/2011/engine/lifter_and_cam_issue.shtml)i first noticed the issue when i was driving in town and all of a sudden my truck was vibrating noticeably and the check engine light came on and started to flash. I had the code read and it told me misfire, cylinder 5. Upon further investigation and after replacing spark plugs, ignition coils, and fuel injector, i am told it is lifter failure and that it is common in these engines. When the lifter fails, it is known to bore into the camshaft, causing major damage to other components of the engine. The repair costs an average of $3200 with some going up to $4,000. Chysler mechanics know that this is an issue but chrysler refuses to do right by their customers.
The engine stalls when make a turn, all the power steering & power brakes quit. I have to restart the engine to move the vehicle out of the way of other vehicles. This going get someone killed.
2011 ram with 53,000. Meticulously maintained. Drove all day and shut it off. Smelled like gas. Inspected for leaks. Didnt see any with a quick look over. Went inot house. Came back outside 10 minutes later and truck was on fire. It was parked 4 ft away from our house and could have burnt the whole house down.
While vehicle is in motion at low speed, engine will shut off. During up hill city driving, engine will not maintain constant rpm or smooth acceleration. It take approximately 20 minutes to start the vehicle.
Lifter failure causing damages to the camshaft and engine
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the engine began to vibrate and the check engine indicator began to both beep and flash. The beeping sound stopped once the vehicle accelerated or decelerated. The vehicle was taken to premier cape cod (460 yarmouth rd, hyannis, ma 02601, (508) 815-5000) where it was diagnosed that there was a sensor failure. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. The consumer stated the engine was not built properly and needed to be replaced.
Cam shaft oil control valve fragmented resulting in engine failure.i was in a parking lot and started the engine. The"check engine" light came on immediately.drove directly the dealer, about 2 miles, to have checked.the engine ran poorly with very little acceleration. Cam code appeared. Only repair was a $10,000.00 long block engine replacement, because repair parts were on 3 to 6 month back order through the dealer.i purchased the truck new from this dealer and have had all service, recall and repairs done at this dealer.i was never informed that this type of catistrophic failure could occur at any time during my ownership, either by the dealer or chrysler corp.this was a defective internal part that could have been replaced, according to the dealer, before the part failed for $700.00.chrysler did assign a case number and a worker that was able to provide a "one time good will" amount of $3000.00 toward the repairs.i was responsible for the remaining $6797.00.this was a preventable repair and i should not be held responsiblefor these type of problem.this part has many references on he internet.
Bought a used 2011 ram 1500 and found out some of the manifold bolts broke when started up noticed a tick sound had checked and found outthe hemi is natorious for this and no recall. But exhaust leaking out is dangerous and from what iv'e seen and heard this is a common problem with the hemi
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that the engine would not immediately start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump relay was faulty. The fuel pump was replaced, but the failure recurred. Griffin dodge jeep ram (1012 holland ave, philadelphia, ms) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 112,000. The vin was invalid.
2009-2013 5.7 hemi cam and lifter and lifter cassette failure
The totally integrated power module (tipm-7) failed, causing the vehicle to stall without warning while driving and difficulty with restarting. This was a recurring problem for a few weeks.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced stalling and deceleration while being operated at interstate speeds. Upon inspection, the contact noticed fluid on the engine and smoke coming from the engine compartment. The check engine, coolant, and service four wheel drive warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine overheated. As a result, the engine wiring melted. The root cause was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 51,669.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle lost power and stalled. The contact went into the fuse box to restart the vehicle. The tire pressure monitoring system and traction control warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to mike brown chrysler dodge jeep (4970 e u.s.

The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 64777982. No further assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 140,000. The vin was unknown.
The engine was losing power on driving and upon acceleration the rpms increased but the speed did not increase - slight shuddering. Engine light came on.p0305 code. Upon removal of the left cylinder head it was noted that the lifters and cam shaft was damaged. All lifters and cam shaft was replaced with mopar parts.

If i am driving and a lifter gives out and the vehicle shuts down then anything can happen at any speed. So wtf are ya'll talking about this is not a safety concern? so if u want to get into how many people are in harms way if this fails we are talking about thousands to millions. As these cars get older we will only see this happen more often.build a terrible product u need to get called out for the terrible design because u wee trying to screw people out of repair money by the terrible design. These companies should be sued out of existence. They dont care about the longevity of their product and should not be allowed to sell to americans.
While driving on a 2 lane road at 50 mph approx speed, the engine shut off.power steering and power brakes became extremely stiff, but i was able to muscle truck to shoulder.after stopping, i put it in park, the key was still in on position; turned key and engine started.i have owned this truck for 45 days and this has happened twice at totally random times.i am very fortunate i was on a road without much traffic. Had i been in a steering, passing or other situation, i could have been in a serious accident i learned from internet that this is a frequent complaint of ram owners and other chrysler product vehicle owners, and that a recall has been issued for certain chrysler vehicles already.the faulty part was the tipm module.there is also a class action lawsuit in process involving other chrysler vehicles not yet recalled, including the model i own.i took the vehicle into the dealer, and they could not positively identify the cause.they would not agree to replace tipm even though i'm under warranty, but instead wanted to do software updates on several "modules" and said if it happened again, i should bring it back.totally unacceptable!!! i called ram customer care and explained that the vehicle is dangerous and that i cannot accept a software update in the hope it fixes it given the tipm history of these vehicles.they advised that there were no diagnostic"codes" present, so they would not replace the tipm.they thenadmitted that a faulty tipm would not produce any codes, but again said they needed to rule out a software issue first by trial and error and refused to replace the tipm even though there was no way to diagnose if it was faulty.my son is driving this truck to college, and i am not about to risk him being killed in this vehicle so i was forced to pay $1,350 for a new tipm. Ram needs to recall these immediately.
When i turned my vehicle off and took the key out the fuel pump continued to run for hours because the fuel pump relay is bad. This truck doesn't have an external fuel pump relay like most vehicles do. By having a bad internal relay it can cause gas to continue to pump in an accident and if there is a fire the fuel will continue to pump and not shut off. Also by this fuel relay not shutting off the fuel pump it drains my battery and it will burn out the fuel pump.. The biggest concern by not having an external fuel relay where a person can change it is that when it don't shut off as your driving and get i an accident where fire or heat is involved this could cause an explosion injury or even death, because people don't know this relay is bad and can't change it without changing the whole fuse box or getting the fuse box replaced. The first time it happened i parked the car and removed key and left it for 8 hours while i was at work. I came out to a dead battery, after hooking up jumper cables i could hear a humming sound, which turned out to be the fuel pump continuing to pump gas even though key was out and truck was turned off... I know dodge recalled other types of vehicles with this same problem.
While slowing down to make a turn, the engine stalled out. This has happened once before approximately 1 month prior. During both instances, i coasted through the turn to a stop but had difficultly steering and braking. Both times the vehicle restarted. I believe in other circumstances this issue may cause a crash situation. I have researched for recalls and bulletins but found none. I have, however, found many online internet complaints about this same or similar problem.
Truck has intermittently started off an on the entire time i've owned it (10 months).truck died while on the highway and had to coast to a stoptruck now wont start at alli've taken it to the dealership multiple times and they've replaced the fuel pump, wiring harness. Same symptoms appear after both "repairs".
Camshaft and lifters malfunctiondrivinghighwayvehicle will go into limp mode, when checked out says number 5 misfire, replace coil pack and plugs, same thing
This has been on ongoing issue. First would not start finally after trying so many times i just started using another car and i got the fuel pumped replaced then the same issue now the ac unit was not working so i replaced it 3 times. Well now it still does not work and after several attempts to fix it i just give it some time to start now. Only way to start vehicle. Then while on the fwy the vehicle just lost power i assume but my speed was declining while i was driving so i tried to press on the gas or breakbut both were too stiff wouldnt do anything and finally maybe like 25 seconds that my vehicle was like that finally i could feel that i was able to press on gas i could tell my speed was rising then the break no longer was stiff and hard to press on . But this is very dangerous . This all happened on hwy at 70 miles

I have a camshaft failure in a 2011 ram 1500. It died in the middle of the interstate in a traffic jam and has me stuck 400 miles from home. This is a common problem and it cost about 5000 dollars to fix. It it obviously a manufacturer defect because there are way too many reports of this. My vehicle is regularly serviced with full synthetic motor oil and i run mid grade or premium fuel all the time. This problem is with all 5.7l hemi'snot just the ram. My friend has a charger with the same issue

Drivers side head light intermittently turns off while driving and will randomly come back on.after replacing bulbs & entire headlight unit issue continues.faulty tipm (totally integrated power module) seems to be to blame.
Headlights are not normal brightness (compared to any other vehicle i have ever driven) and ineffective for night driving. Cruise control works and disconnects at will. Horn signals at will without notice and even when vehicle is off with keys removed. Causes greatand frightening reaction of this driver as well as those around me.
The electrical wiring has shorted out the headlights on the driver side and melts all wiring in the area. This is a huge issue with ram in the 2011 years. The other issue is the transmissions start shifting super hard into gear and jerks the whole truck really bad.
When you start the truck, the asb light comes on. The wipers, a/c, headlights, radio, and power locks will not work. If you let the truck run for about 5 mins, you hear a 'ding' and everything starts working again and the asb light goes out. Took it to a local mechanic and was told they were not able to diagnosis the problem. The truck was in park. I was able to drive the vehical but this is an issue if it's raining outside or at night.
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500.the contact stated that the headlights were very dimly lit, as well as the high beam headlights.the dealer was contacted did not offer any assistance.the manufacturer was not notified and the vehicle was not repaired.the current mileage was 5,000 and the failure mileage was 300.
Truck would not start, would crank but not start. No warning lights (check engine) etc. Had to take it to local dealer, dealer contacted me next day informing me it was the pinion whatever that is. Cost of repairs is over 1200 dollars. Found out that the pinion is the hi tech name for the fuse box that's under the hood. I asked to see the old part and the person at the parts counter stated that they changed (3) three of them today,.. That's very sad to hear for us dodge owners.
The truck turning off while driving down the road. Due to the ignition switch. Lights and everything shut off while driving down the road during night or day. Small bumps in the road cause a short. My truck isn't the only one that does it i spoke to other dodge owners that have the same problem
My turn signal switch does not work anymore when turning left. I turn it down to select the left turn signal and does not work at all anymore.
After passing a slow moving vehicle on the highway, my truck shut down.the engine cut off ,dash lights and park light started to flicker erratically and the headlights went off. I managed to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. In order to stop the lights from flickering i disconnected the battery (they flickered with the switch in the off position). As the lights flickered i could hear relays clicking under the hood and dash. After waiting a while i reconnected the battery and all systems came back on and i was able to start the truck and drive it home.the dealership will not be able to check it out until wed the 18. All systems seem to be normal. I have to go to work . I' m driving it 60 miles round trip everyday.

Headlights are dangerously dim. Even on bright lights, they are dangerously dim. In speaking with other dodge ram owners, they, too have seen a huge difference in the amount of light from the redisigned headlights. Cannot hardly see 20 feet in front of the vehicle. I cannot drive this truck at night.
Began when i purchased truck of integrated brake failure later turned into bad instrument cluster, visor short, new brake controller and lots of hours.when starting vehicle wipers come on, no interior lights, no turn signals (inside or outside) no heat, no radio no trailer brakes.now vehicle has been at dodge for 2 weeks.they replaced, instrument cluster, wiring harness, tpms and problem remains.very unsafe to drive as no indicators and wipers constantly on.problem began around 1 month after purchase and plagues me today.i have extended warranty and i am charged 100.00 per visit.customer care will not provide me with options i must dictate my choices.terrible service.
Everything ran fine in the morning, truck sat for a few hours then windshield washer fluid motor won't work, power locks are out, high beams won't shut off at all,and power locks are out as well.
My right rear turn signal and my brake light stopped working . I took it to the dealer and it was found to have an issue with the tipm or a fancy fuse box . My complaint is that chrysler is at fault for this defect which can cause an accident because lack of light signals. They need to identify an immediate and a robust fix to avoid accidents. I never had an issue like this in my othervehicles and the implementation of light signals has been around for over 50 years . Any investigation and follow up would be greatly appreciated.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

The tipm our dodge truck is faulty.it has issues starting, the lights will stop working, the lights on dash come on, there is an issue with the oil just disappearing, the fuel pump relay.i have done extensive research online and saw that several vehicles under chrysler and dodge have had this issue with faulty tipm and there was even a class action lawsuit,but the nhtsa felt there wasn't enough of an issue with the dodge rams to push for a recall.i believe that this needs to be pushed for a recall. This issue is occurring in a lot of rams and they are passed the warranty and when you purchase a new warranty this issue is not covered.all expenses are paid out of pocket.this is an issue that chrysler and dodge have been aware of for years.our dodge ram has been at the shop several times with issues and they did not tell us once about the tipm issues.we had to figure it out ourselves with internet research.a customer should not be paying close to or over $2,000 out of pocket to fix an issue that the manufacturing company new was a defect or faulty. Several million dodge ram owners have had this issue over the years and have reported it according to the publication of the nhtsa.i don't understand why customers are being punished to protect the manufacturer's mistakes.our dodge has spent more time in the shop in the past year then with us.we have only owned the vehicle for two years.
In august 2017 a defective roller bearing went out while on the highway, effectively destroying the inside of the engine. Cost to repair was $4,000.in december 2017 tipm power module malfunctioned causing headlights to not work. Cost to replace $1,150. Both items have thousands of consumer complaints about being defective.
While driving at night it is extremely difficult to see and i have had many near miss incidents where brighter lights would have prevented such situations. When reported to dodge they said this is a common known issue and that i should report it. The dimness of the lights is unacceptable and extremely dangerous which makes me uncomfortable when driving at night with my family or friends.
The driver side headlight goes off at random times. It usually comes back on within a few minutes. Now it is completely out. A new bulb was attempted but failed to fix the issue. Also the anti theft system activates at random times causing the horn to activate and vehicles lights to all flash. Oneoccasion the vehicle failed to start for several hours. The issues are getting worse and more frequent.
Tipm causes both hi and low beams on passenger side to go out. Bulbs are fine.when truck is started or even remote lock/unlock only drivers lights flashat first lights would come back on after a few minutes on the road, now they stay off and haven't came back for several weeks
Tipm (fuel pump relay) does not let the truck start.its not all the time mostly in cold weather. I have been stuck out with the truck not starting.dealer has diagnosed the problem. 1500 to get it repaired. Vehicle was stationary.driver and passenger side led courtesy mirror lights don't work all the time. Evidence of moisture on lenses.
Headlights, both low beam and high beam went out and will not come back on.bulbs replaced, still will not come on.transmission has begun to shift erratically although vehicle is at a constant speed.
Diving through the mountains on a very dark night and both headlights went out at the same time. I could not see anything. Thank god my tail lights and hazard lights still worked or i may have had someone run into the back of my car. I was also fortunate to have a car stop and help. I followed this gentleman through the mountains using his head lights and simply focused on his tail light. The next morning, i started my car and both lights were working again without anything being done. Now i have the left light that is not working and suspect that it will also come back on whenever it wants to. This is an extreme safety issue that may cause some to run off of the road due to not being able to see. Please assist.
Headlight illumination poor on low & high beams.
We purchasedthis vehicle used last november. The factory windshield is nearly impossible to see through at night, and if we're driving in the rain at night, what little visibility there is. Is limited to less than 50 feet. The chrysler dealership in coos bay, oregon says that it's a factory-installed windshield and declines to take any further responsibility.the low-beam headlights are extremely dim. Safe driving at night requires our using the high beams (when safe for oncoming drivers -- not a good mix.) the chrysler dealer in coos bay, oregon investigated the headlights with a visual check, and said they're "okay."

Fuel pump keeps running after vehicle is off and key out of ignition, draining battery. Have to disconnect battery, or pull fuel pump relay fuse to stop fuel pump from burning out.was told it was tipm unit, the same unit unit that has been recalled on other fca/chrysler vehicles, but not on rams.
When filling gas tank at the pump, the tank becomes full and the gas pump shuts off automatically as expected but then a big slug of gas surges out of the fill neck and splashes all over me and the truck. Happens ay every fill and every station. Common problem, dodge is well aware. Definite fire hazard!
I can hear the fuel pump constantly running hours after the ignition has been turned off. I have had to replace my battery twice now and is truck is sometimes hard to crank.

Tipm fuel pump relay failure.engine cranks, but will not start.this is a well know issue with many chrysler and dodge models. Dealer tells me this is "rare".type tipm fuel pump relay failure in google and see that this is not the case.lucky that mine failed at home in my driveway.dealer wanted $1200 to fix.ordered parts online ($250)and fixed myself after watching youtube videos.easy fix.don't let dealer or mechanic tell you otherwise.took me about 30 minutes.basically unplug to old tipm and plug in the replacement.chrysler/dodge used a cheap fuel pump relay that is failing which requires the entire tipm to be replaced or the fuel relay to be repaired (which most people can't do themselves).failing tipm can cause the vehicle to not start, battery drain (fuel pump continues to run after vehicle is shut off you can hear it running in the rear of the vehicle) and wipers, lights and door locks can activate automatically even after the vehicle is shut off.chrysler/dodge is aware of this issue and needs to issue a recall on all their vehicles that have this defective tipm!!
Fuel pump relay went out while driving.
Truck would not start.had it towed to dealership and found out the tipm module which controls the fuel pump relay was bad. Looked it up online and there are several others dealing with the issue on the 4.7 ram 1500.the dealer wants to charge the owners $1,250 to fix the problem they know about. Purchased truck on january 13, 2017.it had 75,000 miles on it.
After stoping at a stop sign. Made a right turn and the transmission shift to high speed gear causing rapid speed the the ingine shut off caused hard steering.

2011 dodge ram fuel pump bypass relay has gone out.truck will not start.put jumper wire on it to get home.the weather is in the 30's and truck won't start even with jumper.dealer says need new tipm, don't have 1350.00.is there a recall for this problem?
Anytime vehicle is fueled, upon reaching full, fuel sprays out of filler neck under extreme pressure. Sometimes before, but usually after the nozzle has shutoff delivery. Fuel shoots/ sprays up to 2 feet away from vehicle creating a serious fire / environmental hazard.it is hard to judge the amount sprayed, but i suspect anywhere from a pint to 1/2 gallon depending on circumstances and factors. Speed of delivery and the amount tank is empty. The lower the level the worse/ farther the spray. Delivery appears to pressurize the tank and cause spray condition no matter what precautions are taken to avoid.i purchased vehicle used around 1 year ago at a dealer and this has happened at different filling stations, even the night purchased every since.
Truck will not start, stalls out in traffic and fuel pump continues to run even after vehicle is turned off and key removed. Diagnosed as totally integrated power module. Dodge recalled the same part on the 2011 durango but not the ram pick up.
Truck stalls when coming to a stop. Truck stalls whenever shifting from park into reverse drive. Rattling sound coming from under truck. Dealership diagnosed it to a defective torque converter and is replacing it and the transmission fluid pump.
Fuel pump willnot shut off ,doorsunlocks and locks by themselves, windows open and close by themselves , truck loses power while driving and sometimes it acts as if it's starving for fuel and will not start
I ran into this issue last winter and when the weather warmed up it went away.now, again in decemeber, when fueling the truck at the pump, after it reaches full capacity it spits fuel back out all over the truck and onto the ground.does it at every pump.the dealer looked at it last year and couldn't find anything.this is a common and known issue with other dodge and jeep models.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that fuel spilled back out after the fuel tank was filled. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 110,000.
Takate recall/ii called your officeabout 09/05/18, and your office gave me ford dealer in chattanooga, tn. I call them on 09/06/18 , thir office said thay would call me when they got the parts in,that was 80 days ago( wat now )
My truck for about a year now has been having issues with the fuel system not working properly. Over time it has got a lot worse i went through and replaced the fuel pump with the original pump and still hasn't helped. Through research i was able to narrow it down to a tipm issue. Not only is it affecting my fuel system but also the windshield wipers will at random go up a few inches when unlocking the truck or opening the door. The fuel system issue is when i go to start it will just crank constantly and not start to now i might get it started after a few attempts but then it just stalls after a second of running. It has also at time while driving just randomly stalled in the middle of the road creating a hazard of a accident. I see this seems to be a common issue within these trucks but nothing has been recalled for the issue. I have had to recently pull the fuse every time i park for a period of time to prevent the fuel pump from constantly running and killing my battery which happened just the other day. Back in august i had to purchase a new battery due to the other one dying on me i believe due to the fuel pump tipm issue.
Fuel pump relay switch inside the tipm commonly failed on a variety of chrysler vehicles. Vehicle shuts off while driving down the road which could cause an accident.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the vehicle lost power and seized without warning.

The dealer replaced the battery, connector, and reprogrammed the fuel relay. The failure recurred and the vehicle seized without warning. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 114,000.
My truck was turned off and in my driveway.it's been going on for about a month now.it sounds like my fuel pump is still on when the truck is off and normally it turns off after a few minutes but lately it's been staying on and draining my battery.also, my windows roll down randomly and the horn goes off randomly as well when the truck is on.i did some research on the tipm for my vehicle and it says the air bags can go off at any time as well.hopefully, yall doing something about the tipm due to the safety issues of the airbags deploying without cause before someone gets hurt.(recall on tipm)research below: typical symptoms of a tipm failurethe fuel pump not turning off and burning outthe airbags not deploying or deploying randomlythe engine stalling while drivingthe starter cranks but won't startthe horn goes off at random timespower windows not workingdoors locking or unlocking themselves
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While the vehicle was parked, the contact became aware that the fuel tank was lower than expected. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be inspected. The contact was informed that the fuel tank strap fractured due to severe rust and needed to be replaced. An unknown dealer was contacted and the contact was informed that there was no recall on the vehicle pertaining to the fuel system. The vehicle had to be repaired at the owner's expense. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 69,100. ..updated 11/07/17 updaated 9/12/18
While driving down the road the truck stalled and ignition systems went dead. Had several issues days prior to incident where battery was dead, starting vehicle problems and stalling repeatedly. Dealer had to relpace tipm $1280.74. I was told that they were no current recalls on this part, contrary to online information.
1) fuel pump stays on after truck has been turned off.2) truck is hard to start after sitting for three or more hours
For several months my 2011 ram 1500 ran rough and at times would not start. I researched and found that the tpim on several dodge products had the fuel pump relay fail of which several models were recalled because of this. My ram vin did not show a recall so i called dodge corp and they said that they did not have enough problems to recall this unit. The failures that occured that were recalled had the same tpim box. Why is mine not considered. I would like a recall added for this model and the fix that was made to fix mine be refunded. Please advise as to what should be done...

For the past few weeks i have had an electrical drain and a humming sound just found out it is my fuel pump running nonstop with the key removed from my trucki was told it was do to the tipm ( total integratedpower module) has gone bad and is a common issue for my year and model
The fuel pump has failed. This is a common issue with this year and i am not sure why it hasn't been address. Truck has trouble starting and will crank but not turn over as if out of fuel. Battery, alternator and starter were checked and are perfect. I was having trouble the past few weeks starting the truck, now i went to start it and it will not start no matter what. Not a battery issue as the lights all turn on. It must be a tipm issue and i have noticed that other electrical components in the car act oddly at times.
2011 dodge ram 1500 stalled at busy intersection had it towed home, stalled in busy freeway 198 and had to be towed home, the code said it was the fuel pump, had it replaced, the vehicle still stalled. Took it to hanford dodge they diagnostic says it was the tipm, they same problem that was recalled for the durango. This is a major safety issue with dodge...they need to reimburse me for this they have been putting in faulty tipm knowingly
Fuel spits-back on side of vehicle and ground while filling tank. Happens both on automatic fill, both slow and fast fill, and also when manually filling tank. Happens just as the back pressure sensor on the service station gas pump trips off when tank is nearing full. Vehicle was purchased used in december 2016 with approximately 55,000 miles. The spit back did not start until recently, approximately november 2017. Happens every time tank is filled now. If manually stop nozzle before tank is full it does not happen.
Vehicle stopped running while driving endangering pregnant girlfriend as there was no power steering nor was there power brakes. After many tests it was determined to be a faulty totally integrated power module, also known as a tipm.this extremely dangerous failure has been subject to a recall on jeep and chrysler vehicles due to the same component failing.she was driving down a two lane city highway, let off the gas, and lost all power.

Truck wont start .. All other chrysler and jeep and dodges in 2011 models had a relay repair recall for the fuel pump. The 2011 ram 1500 dis not yet they all use the same tipm
Fuel always spills every time i fill my tank. I think it might be a dangerous.overspill always happens when filling tank
Vehicle lost power in traffic, unable to use hazard lights.towed to mechanic informed the tipm needs to be replaced.this ties in with an earlier repair involving the fuel pump that was continuously running.
Nhtsa action number: dp14004 my ram 1500 2011 has a fuel pump internal relay in the tipm.the battery runs down every night while sitting in my driveway and it has a brand new interstate battery. My alternator has tested out to be in perfect working condition.previous to my battery dying the truck wouldn't start for several minutes without cycling the key -- now all i have is a dead battery every morning.

2011 ram 1500 sport with tipm-7.vehicle started having problem starting, i took it to a repair shop and it was diagnosed as a loss in fuel pressure.replaced fuel pump.did not fix problem. After research found out this truck has tipm-7.repair shop verified this.the injectors were checked and were fine.engine runs perfectly after start.diagnosis faulty fuel pump relay.the same fuel pump relay that chrysler recalled 230,000 vehicles in 2014 and an additional 467,000vehicles in 2015. Why won't chrysler fix their screw ups?
The engine is starting but wouldn't run. I am assuming that it might be the fuel pump.
There is no power going to my fuel pump. The fuses are good . The only thing i can come up with is tipm not working.
I bought a 2011 dodge ram 1500, they had to replace the pcu, now they have to replace the tipm, wiring harness's, etc. At a cost of $2500.00. Dodge according the recalls i have seen were putting faulty tipm in all dodge models between 2004 and 2012, i am disabled veteran i cannot afford $2500.00
Vehicle intermittently has no fuel. Mostly crank no start, but once stalled while driving creating dangerous condition while driving. Tested fuel delivery system and found fuel pump intermittently not getting electrical power. Failed relay on tipm.
Vehicle will stall while driving without warning (steering wheel will lock up and brake pedal become hard), the fuel pump relay located with in the (tipm) fails causes vehicle not to start or run, electrical issues such as; some lights working every now and then, cigarette lighter blowing fuse,
"takatarecall" my 2011 ram 1500 stoped in the middle of the city street and steering wheel got hard and it was hard to start up. So i took it to get fixed they said it was the fuel pump so we replaced it,then i would turn the key and it would stay stuck trying to turn on killed my battery bought another one changed the fuel pump again now the fuel pump will not turn off until i pull the fuse now the say it's the tipm i called the dealer and said no recall but i'm having all the problems as the cars that do! i put all that i had to get a reliable truck for my kids and i and this happens.
Every time i fill the truck with gas, once the tank is full the nozzle shuts off and a second later gas overflows out of the filler tube all over me the truck and the ground. I have found that this has been an issue with other chrysler vehicles and they have been repaired. This is a very major safety issue. The dealer noe chrysler will repair without charge.
Hit a deer with my truck. Fuel pump runs all the time. Had truck tested. Was purl pump relay bypass kit. Other models are recalled for this same reason. Also transmission is stuck in 4th gear. Tested that too. It's the lr solenoid in the com. None of this issues was wrong before hitting the deer. I feel they should be recalled.
Just took my vehicle into the shop on 2/17/15 due to the battery being dead as a result of the fuel pump running all night. Aaa certified shop just informed me it would cost 1600.00 to replace the tipm and program it for my key etc. There is a faulty fuel pump relay inside the tipm and i have to replace the entire module. This issue is most likely related to the durango/jeep recall for the exact same issue, as well described in the class action lawsuit. It is not covered by any warranty.
The weldment on the frame that the fuel tank strap attaches to failed. The strap was intact. It did contact the drive shaft making sparks. The fuel tank almost fell out of the truck. If it had been full the additional weight could have permitted it to contact the highway allowing fuel to leak out. With the sparks from the strap, this would not have had a good outcome. I have contacted the local dealer without a resolution. I would like to purchase a new weldment. I have the ability to remove and weld the new one on. The fuel tank is being held by ratchet straps. I remember fuel tank problems with pinto's and chevy trucks. In this case without warning the tank can fall out of the vehicle and start a fire, without impact with another vehicle. However once the bracket degrades, an impact would also present the same results. I am not looking to get blown up in this vehicle when it is preventable. I was traveling on a highway another motorist alerted me to the sparks. I do not feel the straps are a good long term repair. I have also found other mention of this failure on the internet. Please help!
Fails to start, fuel pump shuts off while driving causing truck to stall multiple times on city streets to and from work and on the highway 2x driving to visit relatives, tipm not sending signal to the fuel relay, had 4 mechanics including 2 chrysler service shops to finally diagnose the tipm failure, will have further documentation upon replacement of tipm from chrysler dealer.
Tipm needs to be replaced.
2011 ram 1500 with 5.7 hemi motor has a known issue for camshaft failure. Why isn't ram taking ownership in their defective part rather than making owners shell out 4000 to 5000 for repairs
2011 dodge ram 1500 stalled at intersection, and stalled on busy freeway 198 in the fog, i had the fuel pump replaced, now we find out that it is electrical and the cause is a faulty tipm the cost of replace 1500 dollars.
Engine would not start. Once started while driving motor would surge like not getting gas and almost stall. Mechanics replaced fuel pump but while driving and parking for dinner engine once again wouldnt start. Mechanics still havent resolved issue
9-16-16: vehicle lost all power and had to be "jumped".9-17-16:new battery installed but later in the day, starting problems went on.9-19-16: vehicle taken to dealer;initial problem identified as needing new fuel pump and plugs.later, this was then identified as having a faulty "tipm" and that cost would be over $2000.00 (that included a new fuel pump.internet research shows that the manufacturer has apparently been aware of this problem but will not take action to issue a recall.in reality, did we buy a vehicle which the manufacturer knew to contain defective parts?parts, which in reality, cause safety issues?shame on them!i thought that i had a quality vehicle.i paid over $45,000 for this truck and it was build with this defective part?help me out here and help out thousands of others who are just waiting for the same thing to happen.
When i turned my vehicle off and took the key out the fuel pump continued to run for hours because the fuel pump relay is bad. This truck doesn't have an external fuel pump relay like most vehicles do. By having a bad internal relay it can cause gas to continue to pump in an accident and if there is a fire the fuel will continue to pump and not shut off. Also by this fuel relay not shutting off the fuel pump it drains my battery and it will burn out the fuel pump.. The biggest concern by not having an external fuel relay where a person can change it is that when it don't shut off as your driving and get i an accident where fire or heat is involved this could cause an explosion injury or even death, because people don't know this relay is bad and can't change it without changing the whole fuse box or getting the fuse box replaced. The first time it happened i parked the car and removed key and left it for 8 hours while i was at work. I came out to a dead battery, after hooking up jumper cables i could hear a humming sound, which turned out to be the fuel pump continuing to pump gas even though key was out and truck was turned off... I know dodge recalled other types of vehicles with this same problem.
This vehicle was bought brand new and now the battery is draining easily and it will not start unless you switch it on and take it out of park into drive for about four or five times.when you put it back in park it will start.i have reviewed a lot of complaints on line about this issue from other owners.i was told by the chrysler dealer that it may be the external fuel pump relay but others were told that too and they still had the same starting issue after paying a huge expense for this type of repair.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start. The contact mentioned that it took several attempts to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to steve jones chrysler dodge jeep ram fiat (2612 tn-46, dickson, tn 37055, (615) 326-1234) where it was diagnosed that the totally integrated power module needed to be replaced, which caused the fuel pump to malfunction. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 160,000.
When refueling the vehicle at a typical gas station, and the station's fuel pump shuts off automatically, fuel comes up the fuel filler neck and washes down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground.this does not happen every time, but does happen most of the time, and at various station locations and various station companies.i've read other reports that indicate this is an issue that has affected other owners of similar vehicles. As soon as i described the problem to the service manager at the local dodge dealer, he was familiar with the problem. Per the service manager, this issue has only been addressed with regard to a few vehicle models and years, and this one is not covered.working with dodge customer service, a case number has been opened. The dodge customer service rep spoke with the service manager at the local dodge dealer, and they were able to lower the cost of the labor to replace the fuel tank filler tube, however we will be expected to pay for the part and the repair for a known defect.please note that the 'when did this happen' and the "about how many miles were on your vehicle at the time of the incident' fields don't really apply, as this is an ongoing issue, and can happen any time i go the the gas station to fill up the vehicle. The date i provided for the 'when did this happen' field is the date that i visited the local dodge dealer and spoke with dodge customer service.
Vehicle will not start not getting fuel, remote start won't work.the problems are related to a faulty fuel pump relay and the no-start often occur when the vehicle is cold and progressively get worse. My research shows that this issue is related to a recall for faulty fuel relays thatare very common in 2011-2013 vehicles, like the jeep grand cherokee and dodge durangos but they were the only vehicles recalled. The problem is intermittent sometimes days apart or multiple times the same day. I an dating this today but have had issues since december 2018 if not longer.
I was driving on route 80 on my way to work.the front fuel tank strap holder welded to the frame rusted through and the tank dropped almost to the ground,i heard a grinding noise and pulled over on the shoulder to check out the noise.the tank was hanging by the fuel lines. Luckily for me i stopped. I strapped the tank back in with ratchet straps and got to work okay. Then i jacked it up to make sure it was secured. Called chrysler and dealership about a recall and was told not yet
Tipm (fuel pump relay) does not let the truck start.its not all the time mostly in cold weather. I have been stuck out with the truck not starting.dealer has diagnosed the problem. 1500 to get it repaired. Vehicle was stationary.driver and passenger side led courtesy mirror lights don't work all the time. Evidence of moisture on lenses.
Its a sin and a shame that these bright minds went away from the standard i piece relay in the fuse box to this computer mess every morning i go to work at 4 am and i have to turn the key on and let it sit for 10 to 15 min before it will start and then during the day if i let it sit for more that an 1 hr i have to let it sit another 15 min before i can start the truck i have been a loyal dodge/chrysler owner since 1999 and until now have been very happy until now if there is an issue with the fuel pump relay fix it at no charge thats the way a real manufacturer keeps its customers happy
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 18v160000 (fuel system, gasoline); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. John hirsch's cambridge motors chevrolet gmc chrysler jeep dodge ram (700 garfield street south, suite b, cambridge, minnesota 55008) was made aware of the recall and stated that the part was unavailable. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
I purchased this truck used a few months ago and gas splashes out of the filler tube if you try to fill up the tank, after the gas pump nozzle clicks off, a considerable amount of gas comes back out, i first thought it was a nozzle problem at the pump but realized it was an issue with the truck after trying several different gas stations.
Vehicle lost all power (shut off/stalled) while in motion on 2 separate occasions; 1st time vehicle was traveling approximately 80mph on freeway; brakes and steering lost power function making it extremely difficult to pull over to emergency shoulder and avoid possible collision; extremely dangerous situation; 2nd time vehicle was traveling from stop to approximately 20mph on city street then lost all power, had to coast vehicle across 2 lanes of traffic and was not able to pull over out of bus lane; vehicle was not out of gas, no malfunction indicators were on, vehicle will not start (as if fuel pump failed)traveling at freeway speeds or any speed and losing all power is extremely hazardous. Adding that most probably tow trailers, etc...makes this even more hazardous. Also, we are in az with extreme heat, traveling with 2 small children, and to be randomly stranded with zero power causes additional life threatening hazards i personally request, after researching this issue and finding an alarming amount of similar complaints, this serious safety issue needs to be immediately investigated and those held accountable by way of required recall and resolution
My fuel pump wont stop running after vehicle is switch off, draining my battery.truck won't start until numerous tries and shuts off while driving.
Fuel pump relay malfunction while driving the fuel pump stops and the vehicle shuts off putting myself and others at risk of traffic accident with no warning other models have a recall but not this one
My truck fails to start randomly, it just cranks.the horn will randomly go off by itself, and it has stalled on me twice while driving.after much research, it appears the tipm is bad.other 2011 chrysler vehicles have the same issues, and have had a recall.
While operating the vehicle from just making a turn and accelerating to the road way speed of 30 mph,the stainless steel strap that secures the fuel tank to the frame of the vehicle suffered a failure.this failure was caused by corrosion of the frame chassis and the strap separating.the failure caused the 32 gallon fuel tank to lower toward the road way and the remaining strap to drag along the street pavement .this failure created a risk of fire/ and sparks from the dragging metal.
There has been a recall for other models same year but not one issued for the ram yet. I am having a problem with the tipm which was recalled on the jeeps and grand caravans. The truck tries to start but isnt getting enough fuel so there is a delay and several dry starts also the truck died the other day on me in traffic causing me to almost get hit on the driver side. I have the truck parked at home right now scared to drive it. Called dodge directly after some investigating and they cant answer my questions.
My truck started having an issue after my last recall was completed.the check engine light kept coming on took back to dodge, and the said it was fixed. So after check engine light kept coming on, got a system check said it was associated with fuel pump or line. When mentioning to doge said it was not associated with recall. Now my truck will not start without a jump off and recently cut off while i was driving went dead in the middle of road. No power at all i had to jump out quickly and jump my truck off just to get to safety.this is dangerous. I could have been hit due to this issue. Because of the constant jumping of due to battery dying due fuel pump not shutting off. The fuel pump is going out and it was mentioned this was a know issue for dodge rams.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated that the engine would not immediately start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump relay was faulty. The fuel pump was replaced, but the failure recurred. Griffin dodge jeep ram (1012 holland ave, philadelphia, ms) and the manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 112,000. The vin was invalid.
My vehicle is stalling out while driving on a highway, my brakes and steering wheel lock up and i just had to try to get it stopped and turned off. Also, my fuel pump remains running after i have turned my pickup off. I have gone through two brand new fuse boxes, and two fuel pumps to try to resolve the issue. The fuel pump relay is what continues to fry, which in turn fries my entire fuse box due to it being built into the actual module within the fuse box. I am $1600 in with the same exact problems each time- i have done a lot of research on the issue, and i came across multiple recall notices for a 5.7 l hemi, which is what i have in my pickup.
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the fuel pump remained activated when the vehicle was powered off. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
I've been having trouble getting my truck to start. This past weekend ( 3/11/2017 ) while i was out shopping, it wouldn't start when i got back in it. It sounded like it was out of gas. I thought the fuel pump had went out. I got it towed, has the fuel pump replaced only to find out that the tipm is the problem. Then i found out that chrysler knew about this problem with the tipm for years and never said anything about it. I'm just glad i was in a parking lot when this thing gave out instead on the highway.
First the gas kept stopping even when it wasn't full,. Now when filling gas tank, the gas will not stop. Instead it will keep going and spill all over.*dt
Truck will not start.technician found an internal fault on the tipm module.will need to be replaced.currently, there is a fault of the tipm module, if the tipm module fails (loss of power to fuel pump), could lead to a crash/loss of life.
Fuel pump relay will not engage at times. Turning the ignition key several times solves issue. Fuel pump relay will no long shut off the fuel pump after turning ignition off causing a major safety hazard as the fuel pump continues to pump until battery is drained. Possible safety concernsinclude over heating of fuel pump causing a short short in the fuel pump which may lead to the gas tank exploding. Voltage test were completed to verify relay is the issue. Not understanding why the same issues were present in the 2011 grand caravans and grand cherokees, which where recalled, running the same total integrated power module as mine and several others was address but not the other models.
After the truck is parked, and the ignition is turned off and key removed the fuel pump motor continues to run, draining the battery.
This has been on ongoing issue. First would not start finally after trying so many times i just started using another car and i got the fuel pumped replaced then the same issue now the ac unit was not working so i replaced it 3 times. Well now it still does not work and after several attempts to fix it i just give it some time to start now. Only way to start vehicle. Then while on the fwy the vehicle just lost power i assume but my speed was declining while i was driving so i tried to press on the gas or breakbut both were too stiff wouldnt do anything and finally maybe like 25 seconds that my vehicle was like that finally i could feel that i was able to press on gas i could tell my speed was rising then the break no longer was stiff and hard to press on . But this is very dangerous . This all happened on hwy at 70 miles
I was just informed by my repair shop that my truck requires a new total integrated power module. This part costs $1300. It is responsible for regulating power to many electrical systems in the truck including the fuel pump. According to many online sources chrysler vehicles from certain years, especially 2011, are known to have faulty tipms and that the problem can cause problems ranging from annoyances to life threatening accidents. My specific problem occurs both when i am attempting to start it and when i am driving it. I am unable to purchase the necessary repair due to the extreme cost of the part. The unpredictable nature of this part makes this problem extremely dangerous.
My truck would crank but not start sometimes after being parked for a while.i thought it may have been from the humidity.it will crank and not start a couple of times more often now.when driving on the highway sometimes, it will sputter for a couple of seconds.i thought it might have been from having a little water in the gasoline from the ethanol.i've been using fuel injector cleaner and seafoam every so often since 2014.the truck is 6 years old.i've been reading about how others have been having a problem with the fuel pump relay going bad on the same year model vehicle and other make/models by dodge.
If i am driving and a lifter gives out and the vehicle shuts down then anything can happen at any speed. So wtf are ya'll talking about this is not a safety concern? so if u want to get into how many people are in harms way if this fails we are talking about thousands to millions. As these cars get older we will only see this happen more often.build a terrible product u need to get called out for the terrible design because u wee trying to screw people out of repair money by the terrible design. These companies should be sued out of existence. They dont care about the longevity of their product and should not be allowed to sell to americans.
Totally integrated power module malfunction.fuel pump constantly stays on, even when no key in truck, drains the battery.
The vehicle has a bad tipm, the fuel pump relay does not work and the vehicle will not start at all now. The first incident occured as i making a left hand turn across oncoming traffic. The vehicle stuttered and stalled. Immediately afterwards it would take several attempts to start the vehicle. Now it will not start at all.
Fuel pump relay inside the tpim failed as did in the same unit that has been previously recalled in other vehicles.chrysler recall p54. Without warning the relay failed while hiking in the desert. I returned to a dead battery and a 17 mile hike back out to cell signal to get help. If this failure happened while driving down the road the results could have been a very deadly crash. Why is this part under recall on other vehicles and not this one? it is the same part!
While slowing down to make a turn, the engine stalled out. This has happened once before approximately 1 month prior. During both instances, i coasted through the turn to a stop but had difficultly steering and braking. Both times the vehicle restarted. I believe in other circumstances this issue may cause a crash situation. I have researched for recalls and bulletins but found none. I have, however, found many online internet complaints about this same or similar problem.
Cam/lifter issue with the 01-11 dodge ram 1500! it's a factory engine problem that the average person can't afford to fix. It's been a problem since day one & yet it's still not a recall on it. Nobody has the time or money to fix a problem the manufacturers should have fixed before hand. Keeps throwing the cylinder 5 misfire code & everything that i can afford to replace has been replaced
The truck started to have issues starting, when i would turn the key off and on numerous times, it then would kick the fuel pump in and then start. The problem got worse and worse. Once the truck started then it ran fine. It then started to have the fuel pump with the key offand not running.
I have a 2011 ram 1500 big horn 4x4 with the 5.7 hemi motor. Prior to date mentioned i have been experiencingtrouble starting it. On the date specified i wasdriving 70 mph on highway when motor died and lost control of vehicle. Almost causing a major accident with the motorists around me. I also nearly avoided an overpass and almost was rear ended. Took to dealership to check and was told was fuel pump. I refused service due to excessive cost to replace. I did my own test and found my fuel pump relay to be defective witch cannot be replaced because it is part of the tipm. Chryslerwill not replace
While vehicle is in motion at low speed, engine will shut off. During up hill city driving, engine will not maintain constant rpm or smooth acceleration. It take approximately 20 minutes to start the vehicle.
Check engine light came on,followed by " throttle control sensor " truck almost stalled , then seemed sluggish . Dealership replaced accelerator related sensor. 2 weeks later, same thing happened, same location, only this time, after almost stalling, truck had little power. Taking a right turn at the next street i had my foot on the brake, when l took my foot off the brake, the truck accelerated on its own, without my foot on the pedal, creating a dangerous situation. Truck was towed to dealership, where they are examining the wire harness for a short. I don't know if i will feel safe operating this vehicle again.

Safety recall n08/nhtsa 13v-038 identifies a manufacturing deficiency that could result in the rear axle pinion nut coming loose causing either rear axle seizure or driveshaft separation. It states that "either situation could cause a crash without warning."chrysler states in the notice that parts required to fix the problem are currentlynot available.phonecall to the chrysler recall assistance center not only confirmed the nonavailability of the parts but could not furnish any timeframe as to when they might be available. A check with the local dealer indicates no part availability information either..chrysler has identifieda defect that could cause injury or even death to vehicle occupants or others but has failed to provide information to owners or dealers as to when it could be remedied. This indicates a lack of concern by the manufacturer to affect the timely correction of this life threatening problem. The attitude appears to be use the vehicle at your own risk until we can get around to making a replacement part available. We are not talking about a complicated system here but about a nut that apparently wasn't installed properly in the first place.
The truck needed a total transmission replacement while it was fairly new. The vehicle stopped with no ability to reverse or drive. I have read on forums how others had similar problems. While so many other defects have been uncovered would you please investigate the trans problems on this model.

My truck started out with a dead battery which i replaced and it started in 9/16. Around 12/17/16 i was parked in my truck talking to my neighbor when i decided to turnoff truck and get out of truck. I turned the keyfob to off position only to have it stay running, i than turned keyfob back to on position than back off where it shut off. I pulled into driveway same day and than the keyfob stuck in off position with truck still running. My husband go in it and started to fool around with it putting it into neutral than park than reverse and it finally came out. 1/11/ 17 i started truck noticed tipm light on and traction control light on. I pulled out of driveway the tipm light went out but the traction control light stayed on the whole entire time i was driving it. Then i got home and the key literal fell out while driving it and i lost all power. When my husband came to my rescue the truck started just fine and he drove it home only to have turned the keyfob to off position and pull out the keyfob and have the truck still running. He had to pull the 5amp #27 fuse and disconnect the battery in order to turn it off. Brought to dealer only to be told no recall issues, that they think it has something to due with my after market stereo that was put in over 5 years ago. The advisor called me after having to truck for 3 day to tell me tech needs another 4 hours with itand it was going to be 600.00 ontop of the 150.00 i already owed . I asked to speak to manager who could not tell me that they ruled anything else out would not even give me a printout of what was done. I asked about the tipm and he looked at me like i was crazy. I will be taking vehicle out with no repairs and told them if i crash and kill someone or myself their heads are going to roll, this is definitely a dangerous situation.

Received a safety recall notice n08/nhtsa 13v-038 early in 2013.checked with my dealer as instructed and was told that there were no parts available.have not heard anything since.if this problem is seriousand needs to be fixed, i would think the people involved would be more prone to getting it done.
While driving at 45mph, the truck suddenly and violently downshifted and skidded to a nearly immediate stop with no need to depress the brakes.luckily there were no vehicles behind me as it surely would have resulted in an accident.immediately, a strong foul smell and smoke was noticed coming from under the hood.after putting the car in park and lifting the hood, the smoke dissipated immediately, but i found later that putting the truck into reverse or drive had absolutely no affect.even placing the truck into neutral would not allow the truck to roll.the truck required a flatbed tow to the dealership as the rear wheels would not easily roll forward, and would not roll in reverse.the tow driver needed to place the rear wheels on skids and slide the truck off the flatbed.the dealership found they needed to forcibly manipulate the transfer case to get the truck into neutral as it was seized.they have found that the c2 and underdrive clutches are both completely destroyed, and there are significant amounts of metal shavings in the transmission oil and pan.they said they have never seen such a completely destroyed clutch on any low mileage vehicle.the transmission system was sealed, and pressure tested as expected. They are currently investigating for root cause and to bound the extent of the damage.the truck is supposed to have safety features of both a "limp mode" for the transmission, as well as a further safety feature to go into neutral in such catastrophic failure, both safety mechanisms failed in addition to the transmission.multiple transmission systems failing in such a way, and yet it is likely (already positioning without root cause) that chrysler will want to rebuild the transmission rather than replace it as they should.i'm not confident that this transmission can be repaired such that it will not fail again in short order. Dangerous.

When i release the gas in town at a speed of 40mph or less you can hear a clicking coming from under the vehicle. When i put it in tow/haul the noise will go away though.
2011 dodge ram 1500 .consumer writes in regards to rear axle pinion nut recall notice.the dealer informed the consumer, the parts were not available.
I have noticed since purchasing this vehicle that the rear axletraction control seems to constantly slip when accelerating at any speed, i first thought that this was normal for the vehicle, but it is always engaging no matter what speed your doing. It seems as though it is not working properly, no matter what kind of surface your driving on. I've tried it in four wheel drive, and the truck seems to be ok, i don;t think the anti slip axle is working properly.

I received a recall notice that stated, the rear axle pinion nut on my 2011 dodge ram 1500 may loosen or fracture.a loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to lock up. At highway speeds it could let the axle fly off and lead to loss of vehicle control and/or a crash. I received the official recall notice in january of 2013. I then went to the car dealership. They told me they didn't have parts to check back when dodge gets the parts made. I was at the dealership today to pick up my truck that was supposedly repaired for chronic problems with etc light coming on and throttle sticking or racing. I checked with the dealership monthly and as of today still no parts. This is a serious problem and could result in a deadly crash. Please address this issue.

In a nutshell,, my truck had about,,,14k mikes on it. Purchased new. It took off in exess of 100mph. Couldn't stop it!!!!!!! almost killed my son and i!! have been fighting, ever since to get chrysler to replace the motor,, as it sounds every bearing in the motor,, when i finally put transmission in neautral to stop the truck. To date, the truck has a rearmain leak, because of instead of replacing the motor. Chrysler, tried to take the cheaper way out and only replace a part at a time. In doing so this,cost them way more $. Motor no longer has a bearing noise. But it does have a rearmain leak. That they have tried to repair3xs so far!! now,,,,, i'm still waiting to see if they will replace the motor, or try again??? last i knew the goslden rule was 3 xs and ure out!!!! my patience, is gone. The truck, has spent most of its life in a dealers garage. And most of its 40k miles are from the dealers tech.i have all documentation to prove everything i say. All from the day it took off on me. The real problem is..... Why did it take off? and the answer to that. I figured out. Who wants that info? cause i have figured that out. It took 3 yrs. To figure out. Is all i want is a new vehicle, as i never got to enjoy that. Just cost me alot of time, and $.

In april of this year i received a recall notice #n08 from chrysler group llc, regarding the rear axle pinion nut.i immediately contacted my dodge dealer who informed me that the part(s) were not available and to check back in a few weeks.i have checked for the last 5 months and to date the part(s) are still not available.why?it's my safety and of my family to get this repaired asap, what about other vehicles on the road that are effected or might be involved in a crash of one that does have this problem?this is totally unacceptable, why hasn't your organization taking steps to correct this situation?you are suppose to stay on top of this, what part of safety do you not understand?
In march i received a safety recall from chrysler about the above parts and that a crash cold occur if not repaired. I made several phone calls to chrysler and was advised that they were working on it and have not received any information on when they would make the repair. I feel that since it is a safety recall it should not take 9 months for them to come up with a solution and make the repair.

We were traveling home july 18th on the interstate when the truck started shaking and he tried to get off the interstate on an exit. The stearing messed up and he like to have not got it stopped before we were running out of ramp.it' was light not having control of the wheel or brakes. When we got stopped he opened the hood to see if he could see a problem there. He also walked aroung the entire truck checking tires. We finally decided to try it again. We were then only about 60 miles from home. We drove slower the rest of the way because that was a very scary thing to have happen. Our granddaughter had softball practice wed. Night in knoxville tenn. It wasn't as bad as as the 18th but it done it a few times on us again. We haul presious cargo , our granddaughters, it scares us to death driving with them in tha truck. I taled to chrysler 3 days ago and she told me i would get an email in a day or 2. She also has us an appointment to get the bolt put on on august 17th. But our concerns are it may have more damage because of the brakes and steering doing this. We only bought this truck on april 19th 2015. The recalls are from 2013. Why weren't they fixed then? the truck had not even turned over 50,00 miles when we bought it. We bought it because it had low miles and we want a safe vehicle to travel to her games and practices. Now we are afraid that something will happen and they might get hurt. I tried to call them again today, july 31st i was on hold for over 4 hrs.never did get a real person to answer.

This vehicle has been repaired twice for the front end. While driving the vehicle at either 35, 45, 55, 65 or 75 it wobbles, vibrates something fierce and then it seems you reach a certain distance at that speed or a bump in the road and bam it fine for a while until it does it again. And it will get to the point that you smell axle gear oil. When i went to have it repaired the first time i was told the front wheel bearing was changed on the passenger side and if it were to make the same noise bring it back made the same wobble noise brought it to another place they replaced the wheel bearing (same one) and the whole front axle and said it was fixed, i tookit home and low and behold same problem. No i am trying to have the last place fix what he didn't fix and i am catching a nightmare trying to get in touch with that guy because everytime he says someone will be there to bring the vehicle by no one is there.

At 171599 miles rear axle pinion seal failed. High pitch howling sound was experienced when traveling at high speed. Seal failure resulted in loss of real axle oil which lead to pinion bearing failure. Was told by dealership that all rear axle components would need to be replaced due to possible metal contamination.

I have a loud whining an now is a loud growling in differential or rear wheel bearings at all speeds. I saw on the internet where this is a common problem with 2009 thru 2012 dodge ram trucks 1500 series. Supposedly chrysler has recalled these trucks but two calls to chrysler today april 13, 2017 they advised me there are no recalls on rear wheel bearings or differentials. This problem can cause a lock up of the rear gears and loss of control of the truck at any speed. Please check and advise me at email[xxx] or phone [xxx] i have parked the truck until i hear from your department as i do not want to hurt anyone.thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Received a safety recall notice for the rear axle pinion nut.brought the truck to san antonio dodge in san antonio texas and the parts were on back order..service provider said they were only getting 1 per week from the manufacturer and it would not be until after christmas that this problem may be taken care of.so much for the christmas trip...provider said i could still travel even though the recall notice is specific when it said "could cause crash without warning".i have a problem with the dealer having complete disregard for safety by telling me i could travel 1000+ miles on the highway and not worry.
Had scheduled an appointment for a recall notice with all american dodge in san angelo, texas.arrived for appointment and service manager said they could not look at it due to no techs availablecalled to reschedule appointment on 3/9/15 and was told i would have to wait three months for an appointment.am i supposed to drive around in a potentially unsafe vehicle for three months? i think the dealership is saying that hoping no one calls back to reschedule an appointment.how am i supposed to know what my schedule will be in three months?

The ram 1500 i purchased new was sold to me with an active rear axle recall in effect. I was told that a recall order was in place after i purchased the truck and that the parts for this recall were not available and i would receive notification to bring my truck in for the recall repair on the rear axle. I noticed a growling type noise coming from the rear end reported this to the dealership. They informed this would be repaired when the rear axle parts are installed. I brought the truck back for the repair and then returned at a later date due to a recurring growling noise in which they added more fluid.i now understand another recall is forthcoming to repair the seal on the rear axle bolt. This truck should not of been solddue to the unsafe condition to me. Family and others. This has been a persistent problem and should not be considered as a remedied vehicle especially with the upcoming related recall.i believe this should be included in the buy back due to the ongoing problems or return for a new vehicle purchase.

Currently has a hazardous malfunction that is putting myself and my passengers at risk. In the span of 2 months, i have had the steering wheel completely "lock" upwhile in drive on normal driving conditions (sunny and clear, not too bright, not too windy or wet at all, no fog)when performing a right turn at appropriate turn speeds. You would be unable to maneuver the vehicle out of harm's way when the wheel tenses and locks up completely like this. My first encounter with this issue was turning on a right lane with your own protected lane at the posted speed limit for the turn. It completely locked up on me and i eased my foot forcibly onto the brake so that i could avoid braking too hard and causing the tires to spin out or worse, hitting the pole that is directly 200 feet away (approximate speed was 35mpn and brake reaction time was 2 seconds, accounting for initial notice of the sudden tension and loss of complete control of the truck's steering.). The second encounter occurred within a 2 month span, this time carefully approaching a street intersection. I fortunately realized what was occurring and tried to move far right and out of harm's way but i could only maintain my appropriate lane. At first i could not take out the key or turn it on or off. It was still in drive to my realization. I put it into park and was able to turn the truck back on and continue my way to work. However, i could only be paranoid that this could occur to me under more severe or worse conditions like rain or fog. What if this malfunction were to occur to me if i was on a very elevated highway or had someone tailing me at that very instance?
Truck stalls when coming to a stop. Truck stalls whenever shifting from park into reverse drive. Rattling sound coming from under truck. Dealership diagnosed it to a defective torque converter and is replacing it and the transmission fluid pump.
Operating normally, a grinding noise began and the vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed as a rear differential bearing failure, likely due to the previous recall #nhtsa campaign number: 10v656000 which was done immediately after notification. Significant costs were incurred to repair the differential, axle and bearings. No heavy payloads or towing was done. Maintenance is always done on time and records are available at the dealership.its seems inconceivable that such a new truck could have a very significant failure.

At 53,283 miles a noise was heard coming from the rear of the vehicle.at first i thought it was tire noise, but determined it had to be something related to the rear end drive power train.at 53,383 miles i took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection.this is the dealer's comments:"customer states:c/s: c/s there is a noise coming fromthe rear end, might be the barings. Went on road test with sean f. He confirmed there is a noise, possible rear wheel bearing and its speed related. Check and advise observations:verified noise from rear end tear down rear differential to determine failed component. Observations:pinion bearings failed causing abnormal wear of gears rebuild rear differential -$2,591.00."if the rear end gear box had failed at highway speeds (60 to 75 mph) it would have resulted in an accident that could have led to injuries or death. This component failed at 53% of its design life - 100,000 miles.the vehicle was five months beyond its 5 year calendar warranty period, but well within its design reliability for safety of 100,000 miles.i have requested all parts be properly marked and tag along with any maintenance checklists, procedure documents or manufacturer guidance documents used in conducting the dis-assembly, inspection, repair and re-assembly be provided as part of the record.

The truck burns through oil at a high rate and after it does their is no low oil light being turned on by the truck. The truck ran hot and made the cam position sensor fail. I am afraid it will burn even more and cause premature engine failure and sensor failure which is not cover by warranties. The last time in a month it burned through 4 quarts, the dealer said if they do not find anything wrong they would charge me a diagnostic fee. I have had many old dodge trucks and even a 2007 ram which always had oil between oil changes and that never burned through so much oil. This happens as i drive and never once does it say low oil, the only reason i figured it out is i am mechanically incline and observed the oil pressure drop down to 14ps on the trucks information consol. Also the truck had gone into a mode where the throttle did not respond and the truck would not down shift. All this happens at the same time and if it happens on a highway may cause a crash because the truck does not shift properly along with no oil the engine will fail.

On 5/30/2017 we had the rear end replaced on my 2011 dodge ram 1500 by the dealer in ocean nj. I explained to them before the work was done that there was a recall on the pinion bearing that i just had done previously. I explained that was more than a coincidence that the rear end would happen to go and was not damaged before recall was discovered. They decided they i would have to pay for labor and they would pay for the parts, which cost me $1032.00 and they paid $727.00. This rear end problem was all over social media , blogs and forums about people having same issiue. I was also never told about buyback program that was announced, and when i asked dealer they said to me that the 2011 dodge was not included in the program which was not true at all.

The problem is...the rear axle pinion bearing on your truck (vin: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may not receive adequate lubrication under certain driving conditions. This lack of lubrication condition could cause the pinion bearing to seize and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash without warning.dodge only allows the dealer to do 2 of these recalls a month. So my dodge truck can not be fixed for over 3 months. I am at risk of my truck seizing up and loosing control. Dodge needs to allow the dealers to do more then 2 a month. Or except all liability for any damage or injuries.

Takata recall, i have received a letter in the mail stating i needed my airbag replaced but after notifying the service department i was told that i do not have any active recalls at the present time. The rear of my vehicle has been making noise for some time despite also being told there is no recall on the specific year that i have purchased. Last but not least there is a constant battle with the rear suspension of the vehicle. This particular vehicle have upper and lower mount bars but the rubber gives away in the part which causes a sway that makes you loose control traveling over 50mph without towing a load. I have been reduced to not using this vehicle on the expressway. Also to date the transmission has been given a full overhall as of last year. At the time there were 120,000 miles on the power train

We were informed of a "recall" safety hazard with our vehicle in april, 2013. We've made numerous phone calls to see if parts are in yet. Dodge still doesn't have the parts to fix this potential problem.i would really hate to see something happen or have someone killed because we use our vehicle to pull a 7,000 lb camp trailer.why is the manufacture taking so much time to have the part available before someone gets hurt?we are paying for a vehicle that we're not feeling safe in now. We've been told that the rear axle pinion nut could come loose, causing the axle to seize, which "could" lead to an accident.thank you

There is a shutter or vibration in the transmission while driving at approximately 1500 rpm. It feels like a miss in the ignition system, or as if the transmission is shifting back and forth between gears, it may be related to the eco boost system on thehemi engines. It has been to the dealership 3 times for the problem. The first two times i was told the mechanic was able to reproduce the condition but there is no fix for it at this time. The truck was brought to the dealership for the 3rd time last week, approx 8/5/2011 and an update was installed to the transmission changing the shift points. The condition improved slightly, but the vibration and shuttering is still present. I was told it was a condition that i would have to live with and all the new hemi engines have that. The vehicle is a 2011 ram 1500 crew cab 4x4 big horn short bed with the hemi engine.
There were no special events before problem showed up, other than the engine must attain normal operating temperature. The problem is when traveling , uphill-downhill- or on level, if you are above 45mph and you stop applying gas pedal to coast. The vehicle will coast until you reach approximately 40mph at which time the transmission will downshift into 3rd gear. This causes an abrupt slowing without alerting vehicle behind you. This could in effect cause a rear collision because the brake lights are not activated, and the gearing is low in rear axle which causes the vehicle to slow at a faster rate than normal. The problem seems to be there all the time, one time it did not appear when i applied brakes. This could have been a one time occurrence as it hasn't happened again. I have contacted local dealer, from whom i purchased the vehicle, 3 times. First time they hooked computer to vehicle and said everything was normal. Second time hooked computer to vehicle drove it and took more readings. Third time they were to take more readings and transmit to chrysler, also at that time they were to work on transmission. Problem not fixed, when i returned home that evening i received a phone call from dealer stating that chrysler was to give them a computer flash or program that may fix the problem, and it could take 3 to 6 months to obtain. During the second visit i was told that chrysler had at least 3 other vehicles with same problem but they did not know what the cause is and therefore they did not know how to repair. I was not notified in writing by dealer or chrysler corp. No parts were replaced that i am aware of. I also drove another truck same equipment it did not exhibit the problem. I am not certain if this is a ploy to skirt the lemon law or not. At any rate the problem needs attention sooner than later, also this is causing higher fuel consumption because of having to feed gas when the vehicle should be coasting!

The problem is...the rear axle pinion bearing on your truck (vin: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) may not receive adequate lubrication under certain driving conditions. This lack of lubrication condition could cause the pinion bearing to seize and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a crash without warning.i have contacted three different servicing dealers, and have been told three different stories. The one common factor they have is that parts are not available, and backorders weren't being processed. I feel like i'm getting the run-around...the manufacturer left me a message, after my numerous complaints, stating that parts were being expedited for me, but they are not returning my phone calls now. They don't seem to be concerned over this "safety recall" since i can't get my truck fixed.my truck's axle has not failed as of yet. I can't seem to get the recall done though to prevent a failure. If dodge is going to drag this out, they need to cover the cost of rental vehicles for affected customers until they can get the recall done. I'm concerned for the safety of my family while in this truck.

The electrical system keeps telling me that there is an issue with the fan system, but it only happens when it rains. When this happens the check engine light comes on and the eco system shuts off. After a day or 2 from rain, the system works properly again. It can so sometimes bypass the issue by pulling the battery and re-installing it. The seats also wear down to the point they need to be replaced after just 20k miles
The memory seat "frame" has cracked and is a safety hazard.occurred over a period of time.the issue does not allow the seat to auto or self adjust.currently cracked parts and photo of same are unknown until the dealership gets to repairing the issue.....which is not under warranty at this age and mileage.reported on august 2, 2017.
We bought a 2011 dodge ram express truck which is a single cab truck. Behind the seat is the place for the anchor hook but there are no hooks in the crease of the seat. The dealership says if i buckle up the seatbelt around the car seat it engages the airbag. This means that my son cannot ride in this vehicle. This just makes no sense to me. I thought all vehicles had to have the latch hook in the seat too.
Took my vehicle to outer banks chrysler, jeep, dodge,ram after making appt and confirming the part was in for the recall18v-160.advised it would take 2.5 hours to fix.7 hours later when i called to pick it up they advised me the part is not yet available for my year truck.website says it is.they lied & didn't fix it.
Takata recallthe tipm went bad in my truck at 85,000 miles. Truck will not start at times, it will lock me out of my own vehicle (thank god my kids were never locked in).

My windows will role down out of nowhere when the vehicle is turned off, and the windows will not role back up. The backup camera will come on while i am driving forward, my radio will freeze up to where i can no do anything to it. My key gets stuck in the ignition and will not come out! the whole entire truck just locks up. When you're driving, and it decides to shut off out of nowhere, i lose all power!!! no brakes or steering!!! its uncontrollable!! there has been many many complaints of this problem with the tipm in the 2011 ram 1500 including people almost getting into accidents. My friend also had this same problem and totaled his truck because it locked up on him while driving! all of these complaints and well aware of the problem, ram still decides not to recall it or even fix it!! if i was aware of this and known the danger i put myself in and others in everyday, i would have never purchased this vehicle!!

Had i been in a steering, passing or other situation, i could have been in a serious accident i learned from internet that this is a frequent complaint of ram owners and other chrysler product vehicle owners, and that a recall has been issued for certain chrysler vehicles already.the faulty part was the tipm module.there is also a class action lawsuit in process involving other chrysler vehicles not yet recalled, including the model i own.i took the vehicle into the dealer, and they could not positively identify the cause.they would not agree to replace tipm even though i'm under warranty, but instead wanted to do software updates on several "modules" and said if it happened again, i should bring it back.totally unacceptable!!! i called ram customer care and explained that the vehicle is dangerous and that i cannot accept a software update in the hope it fixes it given the tipm history of these vehicles.they advised that there were no diagnostic"codes" present, so they would not replace the tipm.they thenadmitted that a faulty tipm would not produce any codes, but again said they needed to rule out a software issue first by trial and error and refused to replace the tipm even though there was no way to diagnose if it was faulty.my son is driving this truck to college, and i am not about to risk him being killed in this vehicle so i was forced to pay $1,350 for a new tipm. Ram needs to recall these immediately.
We were traveling home july 18th on the interstate when the truck started shaking and he tried to get off the interstate on an exit. The stearing messed up and he like to have not got it stopped before we were running out of ramp.it' was light not having control of the wheel or brakes. When we got stopped he opened the hood to see if he could see a problem there. He also walked aroung the entire truck checking tires. We finally decided to try it again. We were then only about 60 miles from home. We drove slower the rest of the way because that was a very scary thing to have happen. Our granddaughter had softball practice wed. Night in knoxville tenn. It wasn't as bad as as the 18th but it done it a few times on us again. We haul presious cargo , our granddaughters, it scares us to death driving with them in tha truck. I taled to chrysler 3 days ago and she told me i would get an email in a day or 2. She also has us an appointment to get the bolt put on on august 17th. But our concerns are it may have more damage because of the brakes and steering doing this. We only bought this truck on april 19th 2015. The recalls are from 2013. Why weren't they fixed then? the truck had not even turned over 50,00 miles when we bought it. We bought it because it had low miles and we want a safe vehicle to travel to her games and practices. Now we are afraid that something will happen and they might get hurt. I tried to call them again today, july 31st i was on hold for over 4 hrs.never did get a real person to answer.

Currently has a hazardous malfunction that is putting myself and my passengers at risk. In the span of 2 months, i have had the steering wheel completely "lock" upwhile in drive on normal driving conditions (sunny and clear, not too bright, not too windy or wet at all, no fog)when performing a right turn at appropriate turn speeds. You would be unable to maneuver the vehicle out of harm's way when the wheel tenses and locks up completely like this. My first encounter with this issue was turning on a right lane with your own protected lane at the posted speed limit for the turn. It completely locked up on me and i eased my foot forcibly onto the brake so that i could avoid braking too hard and causing the tires to spin out or worse, hitting the pole that is directly 200 feet away (approximate speed was 35mpn and brake reaction time was 2 seconds, accounting for initial notice of the sudden tension and loss of complete control of the truck's steering.). The second encounter occurred within a 2 month span, this time carefully approaching a street intersection. I fortunately realized what was occurring and tried to move far right and out of harm's way but i could only maintain my appropriate lane. At first i could not take out the key or turn it on or off. It was still in drive to my realization. I put it into park and was able to turn the truck back on and continue my way to work. However, i could only be paranoid that this could occur to me under more severe or worse conditions like rain or fog. What if this malfunction were to occur to me if i was on a very elevated highway or had someone tailing me at that very instance?
Takata recallthe tipm went bad in my truck at 85,000 miles. Truck will not start at times, it will lock me out of my own vehicle (thank god my kids were never locked in). The fuel pump runs constantly even when the truck is turned off because the tipm does not allow it to turn off. It affects all of my electrical stuff, including radio, power locks and power windows. My windows will role down out of nowhere when the vehicle is turned off, and the windows will not role back up. The backup camera will come on while i am driving forward, my radio will freeze up to where i can no do anything to it. My key gets stuck in the ignition and will not come out! the whole entire truck just locks up. When you're driving, and it decides to shut off out of nowhere, i lose all power!!! no brakes or steering!!! its uncontrollable!! there has been many many complaints of this problem with the tipm in the 2011 ram 1500 including people almost getting into accidents. My friend also had this same problem and totaled his truck because it locked up on him while driving! all of these complaints and well aware of the problem, ram still decides not to recall it or even fix it!! if i was aware of this and known the danger i put myself in and others in everyday, i would have never purchased this vehicle!!

Purchased truck 2/7/15. Noticed it drifted and pulled. Took truck back for service twice. Was told both times the alignment was within factory spec.

This vehicle has been repaired twice for the front end. While driving the vehicle at either 35, 45, 55, 65 or 75 it wobbles, vibrates something fierce and then it seems you reach a certain distance at that speed or a bump in the road and bam it fine for a while until it does it again. And it will get to the point that you smell axle gear oil. When i went to have it repaired the first time i was told the front wheel bearing was changed on the passenger side and if it were to make the same noise bring it back made the same wobble noise brought it to another place they replaced the wheel bearing (same one) and the whole front axle and said it was fixed, i tookit home and low and behold same problem. No i am trying to have the last place fix what he didn't fix and i am catching a nightmare trying to get in touch with that guy because everytime he says someone will be there to bring the vehicle by no one is there.
While driving at freeway speeds my truck completly shut off, i lost power to everything, including power steering. I had previous had my truck into the dealership for problems with my fuel pump staying on and learned it was a problem with the tipm (totally integrated power module) which chrysler is aware of and has recalls for some vehicles in certin states. The symtoms my truck is having is the same listed in many of the complaints, ie. Vehicles randomly shutting off, fuel pump staying on and draining the batteries, air bags randomly deploying. After researching multiple fourms and website i found its a very common problem among chrysler vehicles. This needs to be addressed before someone gets hurt or killed due to faulty parts and equipment.

The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While the vehicle was undergoing routine maintenance, it was noticed that the frame was rusted.

Our 2011 ram 1500 has rust under the paint, bubbling it up, under the driver's side back door right on/above the rocker panel. The actual door is not affected and appears to be rust free, it is the body of the truck that is affected. We noticed this several months ago and have owned the truck for approximately 3 years. I called an auto body repair place and the personnel told me that this is a common issue with doge trucks because the panels are not welded together any longer, but are not bonded together with some kind of industrial strength adhesive which then causes moisture to be unable to escape, which causes rust. I was told that this is a manufacturer defect and faulty design and to contact dodge to see if they could assist, but they claim they cannot due to there being no recalls on this particular issue. A gentleman from the fca instructed me to come here and file a complaint. Though there are many complaints listed, there is no recall because there is no risk of injury considered, but for me the rust is on the rocker panel, which is structural, and is a risk if it weakens. Also, the gentleman at the fca agreed with me that this is a defect in manufacturing, so it would only be good business practice for dodge to cover the expenses and work to improve their product because it can and has put people in danger. The complaints are out there, and i believe rust absolutely poses risk of injury, and i also believe that dodge should take responsibility for the faulty design of their product because this is a manufacturer defect. Our vehicle has never been registered in a state where inclement weather and salt brine for the roads was regular, and it has not been registered near the beach. We live in the piedmont area of sc and every time we return from the beach we thoroughly wash it. Rust shouldn't be an issue. Do not remember the date that we first noticed

During a pa state inspection they found one of the fuel tank support straps had pulled out of the frame.the frame had rusted in the area where the strap use to be attached to the frame. This left the tank with 150lbs of gasoline in it hanging by one strap, this could have been catastrophic if the tank fell out and became wedged under the axle.it is going to cost over $650 to have the frame welded. Vehicle is a 2011 with 57k miles.
Passenger side factory installed "dodge" step bar fell off the truck as my 90lbs. Daughter stepped in.as her & the step bar went crashing to the ground she banged her elbow really hard on the door latch striker.component is held to the inner rocker panel of the trucks cab with 6 expanding rivet nuts that have very little surface contact area.it appears that the steel of the inner rocker has fatigued over time & cracked.the cracks allowed the metal to conically deform to the point where the rivet nuts were able to pop out of the body.this could have been much worse if it had been an elderly person on the step bar instead of a resilient middle school youngster.

My tailgate has opened by itself several times i've seen it with my eyes and the last time we were pulling a trailer it opened while driving and this is what i'm left with a ruined tailgate where we can't even open it to use it.

Takata recall, i have received a letter in the mail stating i needed my airbag replaced but after notifying the service department i was told that i do not have any active recalls at the present time. The rear of my vehicle has been making noise for some time despite also being told there is no recall on the specific year that i have purchased. Last but not least there is a constant battle with the rear suspension of the vehicle. This particular vehicle have upper and lower mount bars but the rubber gives away in the part which causes a sway that makes you loose control traveling over 50mph without towing a load. I have been reduced to not using this vehicle on the expressway. Also to date the transmission has been given a full overhall as of last year. At the time there were 120,000 miles on the power train
My truck had 34,754 miles when i was told both outter tie rod ends needed to be replaced.as well as the left strut.i find these parts failing this early to be unacceptable.chrysler/ram refused to respond to my official written complaint letter.i requested a review as i feel my truck was build with defective steering parts.as chrysler refuses to address the issue i would like the nhtsa to review this situation.
Vehicle is very lose feels like it would very easily sway out of control. The vehicle falls under the manufactured date for recalls of steering column and rear axle issues but according to my dealer and chrysler's website my vin is not listed. Forgive me if i don't trust them. How do i get to the bottom of this because there is something wrong with my suspension and there are many more posts of this same issue at higher speeds.
I have noticed since purchasing this vehicle that the rear axletraction control seems to constantly slip when accelerating at any speed, i first thought that this was normal for the vehicle, but it is always engaging no matter what speed your doing. It seems as though it is not working properly, no matter what kind of surface your driving on. I've tried it in four wheel drive, and the truck seems to be ok, i don;t think the anti slip axle is working properly.

When driving over 60, the entire truck violently shakes/wobbles/vibrates.this happens anytime going over 60, and is not caused by hitting a bump or slope in the road.been to chrysler numerous times and they cannot find a root cause.replaced all tires, aligned, new u-joints, new rotors, still is not resolved.
I have been advised by letter from chrysler that the rear axle pinion nut on my dodge ram 1500 year 2011 has been recalled. I have held this letter with the understanding that a follow up letter of the part that is in question would be sent to my lithia dealership soon. This is not the case in fact i called chrysler, their response to me is that there will be no parts available in the near future to be shipped to my lithia dealership to fix this problem and that i should use caution while driving my truck. This is unacceptable, and if anything happens while i am driving my truck i will intern sue the chrysler corporation for not having my part available at my dealership in a reasonable time. The safety of my family is of the utmost importance, and for chrysler to have a recall on such an important piece of my vehicles operation,and to not come through with the replacement part is completely unacceptable.

Safety recall n08 / nhtsa 13v-038rear axle pinion nuti had my vehicle called in for a recall after purchase at the end of 2013. Ever since then i have had shaky and jerky steering at times especially at a highway rate of speed (55-70 mph). I have not taken it to the dealership due to finances and my warranty is no loner valid. After reading the recall details now i am assuming this has been the issue. After reading what could possibly happen due to this issue i feel unsafe driving the vehicle and no loner allow my 1 year old son in the vehicle.

Operating normally, a grinding noise began and the vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed as a rear differential bearing failure, likely due to the previous recall #nhtsa campaign number: 10v656000 which was done immediately after notification. Significant costs were incurred to repair the differential, axle and bearings. No heavy payloads or towing was done. Maintenance is always done on time and records are available at the dealership.its seems inconceivable that such a new truck could have a very significant failure.

I received a recall notification three months regarding the 2011 dodge ram 1500 rear axle pinion nut{n08/nhtsa 13v-038}. I visited the dealership and questioned when the vehicle would be fixed.they stated they do not have the part, however we would receive a second notice on the recall and they would make an appointment to replace the part in the vehicle.we are still waiting for a notification to replace the part.this is a serous problem and i am very concerned with the safety of the vehicle on the road.the dealership is merrick dodge on merrick road merrick long island.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
This vehicle has been repaired twice for the front end. While driving the vehicle at either 35, 45, 55, 65 or 75 it wobbles, vibrates something fierce and then it seems you reach a certain distance at that speed or a bump in the road and bam it fine for a while until it does it again. And it will get to the point that you smell axle gear oil. When i went to have it repaired the first time i was told the front wheel bearing was changed on the passenger side and if it were to make the same noise bring it back made the same wobble noise brought it to another place they replaced the wheel bearing (same one) and the whole front axle and said it was fixed, i tookit home and low and behold same problem. No i am trying to have the last place fix what he didn't fix and i am catching a nightmare trying to get in touch with that guy because everytime he says someone will be there to bring the vehicle by no one is there.
Front in ball joint disconnected while driving and axel snapped. As a result my front in of the car hit the ground causing a total loss of steering. I crashed into a wall doing 70 miles per hour and almost lost my life.
Turning left onto a street the rear passenger side axel broke off.

I have had 2 blow outs (instantaneous tire deflations) in the last 30 days. According to the dealer and confirmed on the internet, this is a well known defect on this vehicle caused by defective tire pressure sensors/valve stems (tpms) corroding causing a catastrophic failure where the valve stem is lost and the tire deflates. Both occurrences were when i was traveling at high speed on a freeway. Luckily there was little traffic and i was able to gain control and pull onto the road shoulder. On inspection of the tire the valve stem was missing with a hole into the tire.unfortunately despite the dealer being aware of the problem it is not covered by warranty and costs $140 to repair. As above, this is the 2nd exact failure on the same vehicle. It appears i am expected to pay over $500 to get them all changed. In the meantime i am not allowing my wife or family to travel in what i now consider a dangerous truck.

Concerned that the air bags could deploy unexpectedly due to the tipm defect reported on many chrysler vehicles including my dodge ram 1500. It has already caused my fuel pump to fail and also lights come on and go off randomly. As every electrical function of the vehicle must first go through the tipm, including all safety systems, this is extremely disconcerting1
Vehicle motor stops running during driving all power is lost, had happened more than 3 times over time and starting to do it more often very dangerous to have your vehicle shut off while you're driving it.
I was having problems starting my truck, so i jumped it with a booster pack and it started right up. I put a new battery in and worked for a couple of days and then it began having problems starting again. I took it to a dodge dealer and they found a flash for wcm that states fixes intermittent start issue and reprogrammed wcm. It worked for a couple of days and then again began having issues starting again. I read online that if i shift into neutral and then try starting it will work. This seems to work but it is annoying and i am worried it will leave me stranded or worse cause an accident.

Air conditioner condenser under dash went out at about 85,000 miles.at 105,000 miles check engine light came on. I took it to 3 different shops and all 3 found number 5 cylinder of my 5.7 cylinder engine was not operating properly. After deeper investigation it turned out to be a worn camshaft lobe. All oil changes were done at proper intervals and used synthetic oils. Mechanic said it was common with the 5.7 engine.

Fuel pump keeps running after vehicle is off and key out of ignition, draining battery. Have to disconnect battery, or pull fuel pump relay fuse to stop fuel pump from burning out.was told it was tipm unit, the same unit unit that has been recalled on other fca/chrysler vehicles, but not on rams.

Tipm module failed.almost got killed because of it. Car stalled on roadway car almost rear ended me!!!i heard there is a class action lawsuit already filed but do not know if my car is covered.it has the same tipm module in it.
My ram 1500 inexplicably caught fire and burned to the ground after sitting outside for approximately 12 hours.the vehicle was locked, as were the bed cover, the tailgate, and the ram boxes.there was nothing in the bed or ramboxes.we were alerted to the fire at around 6 am by 1) an explosion and 2) neighbor alert.when we went outside the truck's bed was engulfed in fire, and the fire looked to be from underneath and coming up around the bed.the explosion was either the spare tire or the gas tank.within 10 minutes the entire truck was engulfed, and completely burned/melted, etc., within 25 or so minutes when the fire dept. Finally arrived to put it out.the fire marshal declared that the cause could not be determined, as did the insurance company's lab after they examined the vehicle due to the extensive damage.we live in a gated, video monitored small community and review of the tapes showed no strange activity.there is no history of criminal activity in this area, and certainly no arson. The ground surrounding the truck was wet (it was parked on a concrete parking space) as the sprinklers had recently run (grass, shrubs).really not sure if there is an issue with the ram, but given that arson also seems very unlikely i thought we should document this in case there are other events.
My truck would not start had it diagnosed. Found it was acommon problem. The tipm part# rl692319aj found to cost 900.00 crazy.it was found to be to common of problem not to be on a recall .......................i would like someone to take responsibility for such an expensive repair.
At interstate speeds truck has vibration. Thought maybe rim had lost counter weight. Not the case after doing some research. I believe chrysler has not done all homework on the latest recall which i had known nothing about until this big issue with the buyback. Of course my truck has no recalls what so ever. My truck was manufactured in march 2011. From what i have read recall covers trucks manufactured through december 2011. Not sure that my truck has pinion nut issues but sounds like the symptoms. Anyone other owners running into this?
Bought new. Had only had few months and entire dash had to be pulled because air conditioning coil exploded and coated windshield with oil causing driver to not be able to see.vehicle was kept 2 weeks for this.since then vehicle has been in shop for non working air conditioner multiple times and i am having to pay $100 each time to get shop to even look at it and it still isn't working.they acknowledge there is a problem but will not repair problem.i paid $2600 for max care warranty and shop will not acknowledge that i have it.still same problem.i shouldn't have to pay a cent because this is all the same problem that has existed since vehicle was new.
Vehicle shuts off on highway at 65 mph also on street road at 30 mph . All power lost very dangerous . When pulled to side of road vehicle restarts. Happens after 20 mis of driving and again every 10 mion
Hit a deer with my truck. Fuel pump runs all the time. Had truck tested. Was purl pump relay bypass kit. Other models are recalled for this same reason. Also transmission is stuck in 4th gear. Tested that too. It's the lr solenoid in the com. None of this issues was wrong before hitting the deer. I feel they should be recalled.
On or around 06/20/18 i received a letter stating my 2011 dodge ram had afew recalls and i needed to contact the nearest location for service. I contacted 3 locations one in georgetown tx one in austin tx and one in round rock. I was told they would get back to me and never returned my call. I'd like to know how we can get this issue resolved as soon as possible before the situation with the vehicle gets worse and causes and accident.
The weldment on the frame that the fuel tank strap attaches to failed. The strap was intact. It did contact the drive shaft making sparks. The fuel tank almost fell out of the truck. If it had been full the additional weight could have permitted it to contact the highway allowing fuel to leak out. With the sparks from the strap, this would not have had a good outcome. I have contacted the local dealer without a resolution. I would like to purchase a new weldment. I have the ability to remove and weld the new one on. The fuel tank is being held by ratchet straps. I remember fuel tank problems with pinto's and chevy trucks. In this case without warning the tank can fall out of the vehicle and start a fire, without impact with another vehicle. However once the bracket degrades, an impact would also present the same results. I am not looking to get blown up in this vehicle when it is preventable. I was traveling on a highway another motorist alerted me to the sparks. I do not feel the straps are a good long term repair. I have also found other mention of this failure on the internet. Please help!
Nearly a year ago, i received notice from ram of a recall on a rear axle pinion nut.they said that the nut could loosen due to undersized pinion shaft splines, possibly causing the rear axle to seize or cause the drive shaft to separate, possibly causing a crash without warning.when i called a local dealer in regards to the recall notice, they said that they didn't have the required part to remedy the recall and that they may receive the part in september of 2014.i waited until october to call and schedule an appointment and they still didn't have it.now in may 2015, i've received between 4-5 more notices since the first and i tried to get the part fixed or replaced and the dealer still doesn't have the part to fix the problem.i ask you then nhtsa, what the hell is the point in having car manufacturers send notices like these out telling consumers to get the problems fixed in a timely manner when that is not possible?!what is your fix to fix the car manufacturers and look out for consumers and the public safety?!
Engine would not start. Once started while driving motor would surge like not getting gas and almost stall. Mechanics replaced fuel pump but while driving and parking for dinner engine once again wouldnt start. Mechanics still havent resolved issue
Cannot get a reply from dealerships
After learning about the massive recall/buy-back of ram 1500 trucks due to steering column and rear axle issues, i called my ram dealer immediately. Dealership stated that they never heard of the $105m recall affecting nearly 1.5m vehicles and directed me to call chrysler corporation. I called several other ram dealerships and they stated the same--call chrysler directly. Called chrysler corp and got a busy signal. Tried a different number and got disconnected. Called a third number and got disconnected again. Called the next day and got the same with all 3 telephone numbers. I even tried to look up any recall info on chrysler's web site using my vin, but chrysler's web site showed zero recalls for my ram 1500. It's been a week since this all took place and chrysler's web site still shows no recalls even though the recalls are listed on the ntsb web site. Cannot get any resolution or assistance from chrysler corp or dealerships! ntsb should fine chrysler another $105m!!!
Purchased truck 2/7/15. Noticed it drifted and pulled. Took truck back for service twice. Was told both times the alignment was within factory spec. The second time i was told it was due to different tire tread depths. The tires were brand new, installed by the dealership. Now still the truck feels very unstable on the road, constantlyweaving left to right. When hitting a bump in the road it feels as if the front end is coming apart. My truck was evidently part of the "axel recall" which is now part of this large fiasco requiring the truck be bought back from me but i cannot get a hold of fiat chrysler automotive for more information.
Exhaust manifold makes this horrible ticking or knocking sound. Gas mileage is affected by this. There are reports about this everywhere why hasn't dodge recalled this problem?
My tail-gate will not stay closed or lock with a key. Sitting parked in my driveway on a flat surface, then as i was driving to work, it came down unexpectedly
On 08/10/2020, we traded in our (only car) acura vin [xxx] and gave $1500 cash for a deposit and still our $900 towards the deposit. We got a loan for a 2011 ram 1500 and we were happy until on 08/15/2020. We drove on i 95 to pick up a few boxes from savannah ga. On the way back, the truck began to shake from the back and front of truck. We called [xxx] , (while still in georgia) the woman who sold us the truck. [xxx] told us that she couldn't promise us anything and to wait for the call back. As of today 8/26/2020, [xxx]has not called us back.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
9-16-16: vehicle lost all power and had to be "jumped".9-17-16:new battery installed but later in the day, starting problems went on.9-19-16: vehicle taken to dealer;initial problem identified as needing new fuel pump and plugs.later, this was then identified as having a faulty "tipm" and that cost would be over $2000.00 (that included a new fuel pump.internet research shows that the manufacturer has apparently been aware of this problem but will not take action to issue a recall.in reality, did we buy a vehicle which the manufacturer knew to contain defective parts?parts, which in reality, cause safety issues?shame on them!i thought that i had a quality vehicle.i paid over $45,000 for this truck and it was build with this defective part?help me out here and help out thousands of others who are just waiting for the same thing to happen.
Tipm (totally integrated power module)
Vehicle will stall while driving without warning (steering wheel will lock up and brake pedal become hard), the fuel pump relay located with in the (tipm) fails causes vehicle not to start or run, electrical issues such as; some lights working every now and then, cigarette lighter blowing fuse,
There is something wrong with the ignition switch.i have to put the key in repeatedly just to get it to catch so it'll start.doesn't matter whether i'm driving down the street or out on the highway the truck just turns off.i've had it shut down going over railroad tracks, in the middle of intersections, on the highway with people coming up on me going 70 mph.i called dodge & they told me it would cost 6-8 hundred dollars to repair.i'm finding that a little hard to swallow, since i've done nothing to cause this issue.this issue is going to eventually cause a wreck
I have 2 on going issues with my 2011 ram 1500 outdoorsman 5.7 4x4 with ram box.first issues:shiftier doesn't lock and slide out of gear or park with or without key in ignition.when in gear and running and ready to park vehicle it doesn't seem to go in park most times which then can't be shutoff or key can not come out of ignition.this seems like an ongoing problem for other ram trucks on forum sites and reviews of these trucks.what should i do?why isn't this trucks vin have a recall on this?second issues:i am having problems with the built in power to the integrated module fuse box that powers the fuel pump.this keeps either killing my battery or making my truck stall while i'm driving.this has caused some scary situations.we traced the draw of power pack to the fuse box's built in relay which is soldier to the bottom of the fuse box and there isn't one that can be replaced.the only option is to replace the whole unit for over $1,000+ not including dealer mechanic costs.the battery was replaced 2 times and multiple visits to mechanic to check, charge battery and alternator.after my mechanic and myself researched this to is a mass problem on the internet and forums and either a purposeful design flaw or nevertheless a poor and unsafe one with these trucks.this causes 2 issues with my truck and kept me freezing in the cold on numerous occasions and stalled multiple times on roads and highway straightaways and while turning affecting power steering loss when driving?what should i do?why isn't this trucks vin have a recall on this?how come big business can not be held accountable for their mass production of faulty dangerous parts that hey are designing and using in the trucks they build.where there be a recall of the issues mentioned above?thank you!
The tipm failed on the ram 1500 2011.this part should be recalled and corrected on all ram models.the failure caused 1) the truck to lunge forward and hit my house, 2) the truck to not start which caused the battery to be replace, the fuel pump to be replaced, and finally the tipm to be replaced.
From initial purhase, vehicle has had a bad vibration & shimmy. Mainly felt between 35 mph and up. Severity increases with interstate speeds. Tires and wheels have been ruled out as the concern. Truck has been to dealership 5 times for this concern but once the tires and wheels were ruled out dealership refuses to do any further investigation. The district manager states that nothing else can be done and the concern is normal characteristic of truck. It is my understanding that this is a major concern for a large majority of 09-up ram owners and needs to be addressed further. The vibration and shimmy are severe enough to make my wife and i nauseated after driving down the interstate for 5 minutes.
Takata recall.my 2011 dodge ram hemi sport. The steering wheel horn pad over my srs airbag is cracked and cracking more each day. Im afraid that it will make my airbag pop or show and injure my self or others driving. It just started a couple days ago while i was driving and had to hit the horn.
Key fob ejects from wireless ignition node causing lose of power steering and brakes on the interstate and in the city while in motion.
Truck makes loud rumbling sounds on bottom. There is a major electrical issue with the truck that drains battery resulting in the truck not starting. Stranded many places because of this issue
2 years ago had to replace the tipm on my truck and noe its starting to mess up again. Trucks just dies while driving no warning. It just a matter of time before i have to replace it again. It should be a recall. It cost me 1500.00 to repair
I have a 2011 dodge ram 1500 and i thought i had a bad fuel pump so changed it but to find out it's a tsi relay and has already been recalled in the same year model in jeep and durango and since my truck has same parts as jeep and durango why hasn't this been took care of ..truck quits driving in road .
Ram buyback case handed down in july of 2015. I believe my vehicle is affected in this buyback program. Front suspension, steering, and rear axle are affected.
Safety recall n08 / nhtsa 13v-038rear axle pinion nuti had my vehicle called in for a recall after purchase at the end of 2013. Ever since then i have had shaky and jerky steering at times especially at a highway rate of speed (55-70 mph). I have not taken it to the dealership due to finances and my warranty is no loner valid. After reading the recall details now i am assuming this has been the issue. After reading what could possibly happen due to this issue i feel unsafe driving the vehicle and no loner allow my 1 year old son in the vehicle.
While driving my pickup truck at a speed of 30-35 mph, the power turned off and the speed decreased at a fast rate. Luckily, i was able to pull into a business to turn my ignition to "off" and turn my vehicle back on. I did not have access to any electrical equipment in my vehicle. This has happened four times in the last 2 months.
Engine started misfiring in the no.1 cylinder and violently shaking, vehicle then lost power to the engine nearly causing me to be rear ended. Took it to the repair shop and defective lifters and camshaft were found, with only 85k miles this should not happen. Did research and this is a very common issue for the 5.7 engines, definitely needs investigated.
I was backing out of my garage, moving very slow (because of our outside cats) with very slight pressure on accelerator, just enough to start to move the truck backwards down the incline out of my garage.immediately, the engine revved and started racing.the truck picked up speed dramatically and i slammed my right foot down on the brake pedal, not sure what was happening.the brakes howled and vibrated, totally failing to stop the truck.i lifted my foot and then reapplied both feet to the brake without thinking.brake went all the way to the floor and truck slowed very little, engine still revving.i then pulled the handle to the emergency brake and applied it to stop the truck.the engine was still speeding up and i put it in park, immediately turning the key to kill the truck.i didn't think to look at the rpms, but they had to be high. I got out and checked to see if anything was interfering with the gas pedal.nothing was, my mat that i've had in it for 2 years lays far to the left of it.the gas and brake pedal seemed to be in normal position.i am taking the truck to the dealership after work today to see what can be done.i am very concerned about the safety issue involved here and the randomness of this.it was like the truck had a mind of its own and just tried to take off.after reading everything online about this happening to so many other people, i'm not sure i can continue to drive this truck.i bought it new with 19 miles on it.something is very wrong with the dodge trucks considering the number of people who have experienced this.
Takata recall i stop at stop sign made a right turn the truck went in high speed on its own down hill oncoming traffic was coming up in my lane i brake hard as i could trying to avoid head on collision. The car hits me pushes the truck into a light pole to my right. The airbags did not even deploy. I could have been srious hurt are a passenger. These trucks are very dangerous. In motion
2011 dodge ram 1500 acceleration issuesaccelerate to very high speed and will not release,put in neutral and pump brakes many times to get to release,gets accelerating at times and will not releasehappened 4 times returning home with girl friend 12/26/15.
Currently has a hazardous malfunction that is putting myself and my passengers at risk. In the span of 2 months, i have had the steering wheel completely "lock" upwhile in drive on normal driving conditions (sunny and clear, not too bright, not too windy or wet at all, no fog)when performing a right turn at appropriate turn speeds. You would be unable to maneuver the vehicle out of harm's way when the wheel tenses and locks up completely like this. My first encounter with this issue was turning on a right lane with your own protected lane at the posted speed limit for the turn. It completely locked up on me and i eased my foot forcibly onto the brake so that i could avoid braking too hard and causing the tires to spin out or worse, hitting the pole that is directly 200 feet away (approximate speed was 35mpn and brake reaction time was 2 seconds, accounting for initial notice of the sudden tension and loss of complete control of the truck's steering.). The second encounter occurred within a 2 month span, this time carefully approaching a street intersection. I fortunately realized what was occurring and tried to move far right and out of harm's way but i could only maintain my appropriate lane. At first i could not take out the key or turn it on or off. It was still in drive to my realization. I put it into park and was able to turn the truck back on and continue my way to work. However, i could only be paranoid that this could occur to me under more severe or worse conditions like rain or fog. What if this malfunction were to occur to me if i was on a very elevated highway or had someone tailing me at that very instance?
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram. The contact stated while reversing out of a parking lot, the vehicle abnormally accelerated. The contact shifted to park and shut off the engine. The failure however, persisted once the vehicle was restarted.the contact was able to drive the vehicle home without incident. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or possible repair. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileage was 5,100.updated 07/19/12*ljthe consumer stated as of july 6, 2012, the vehicle was still in the shop. The throttle sensor, pedal, main computer and wiring were replaced. However, the vehicle continued to accelerate without applying the accelerator pedal. Updated 07/23/12
While parking, the trk accelerated and almost hit 3 cars before stopping w brakes slammed to the floor. We are on vacation are 7 hrs from home!
I have had previous problems before this with engine and etc bolt light on dash, causing the truck to goin limp mode. I was told it was the throttle body and that the truck had to be reset. On sept 21/2012 the etc bolt light and engine light came on in city driving conditions. Wheni slowed down for traffic using the brake i let off the brake and before i could do anything the truck raced off on its own almost causing a accident without ever touching the gas, the cruise control was not on. I turned off key and dangerously coasted to the side of road. I turned off the truck and re started the truck. At this point i had only engine light so i took it to dealer. They replaced gas pedal and reset it. The truck always scared me after this. I feel that this is a great danger with the new wireless drive system.this needs to be looked at buy the builder of this truck.
While starting from a stop if you momentarily hold your foot on the brake and accelerate. When you release the brake the car begins forward then all warning lights come on and car shuts down from 1 to 10 seconds. If you are pulling into a busy road where you might momentarily spin the engine up in order to have better response you are left stuck out in the road in traffic. Also happens if you are towing on an incline and you spin up engine before releasing foot brake. You would do this in order to not roll back. They said the code says you should not drive with 2 feat. I don't think it should happen they say it's normal. Very dangerous. Have brought the car in multiple times since this has occurred.
The contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. While the vehicle was stopped at a stop sign, the vehicle accelerated without warning to approximately 100 mph. The contact attempted to apply the brakes, but the brakes failed. The contact turned the ignition off and the interior lights turned off; however, the vehicle failed to stop. The contact shifted into neutral and the vehicle ran off the road. The vehicle came to a complete stop. The contact attempted to start the vehicle and the engine revved even though the ignition was turned off. Prior to the failure, the vehicle came to a rolling stop when it was placed in park. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer diagnosed that there was no failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact was not injured and a police report was not filed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and offered to sell the contact a new vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.
The vehicle's tipm system stopped worked and the vehicle failed to start. It was repaired and this issue has plagued other chysler products. Chrysler refused to offer assistance in the repair.
Takata recall my truck switch into high speed gear speeded up may have caused a crash sterring became hard to control in motion on a city street
Headlights are not normal brightness (compared to any other vehicle i have ever driven) and ineffective for night driving. Cruise control works and disconnects at will. Horn signals at will without notice and even when vehicle is off with keys removed. Causes greatand frightening reaction of this driver as well as those around me.
2011 dodgeram 1500 . Consumer states dealer refused repairs under warranty *tgwthe consumer stated the vehicle would not shift out of park, upon start up. Also, the vehicle rolled while the truck was in park and the vehicle accelerated up to 100 mph. The consumer had to put the gear in neutral in order to stop the vehicle.the consumer stated the vehicle was still running, even though he turned the ignition off.
After a couple repairs on same problem, i was driving to go shopping when etc bolt light and engine light came on again. I was letting off gas to slow down so i could try shutting truck off to reset computer so i could get it to dealer. When i let off gas the truck was accelerating on its own so i held brake down and let up on brake to inch forward to get all the way off road when it accelerated on its own like it was floored. I stopped and put it in park. In park the engine was racing at 3000 rpm. This is a dangerous faulty system.i had taken it to dealer and they reset it saying when they called factory they were told to reset it. If it happens again may be wire harness. I have taken time to file these complaints as i feel this is a deadly issue. These trucks have children riding in them and in other cars that may collide with them. Please research the wireless drive on the dodge ram 2011.
After having the gas pedal replaced a few months later, now4/11/2013 the etc bolt light and engine light came on again at city speeds as i slowed for traffic , when i let off the brake the truck speed up very fast without ever using cruise control or touching the gas. I almost ran a red light, had to smash the brake down holding steering wheel tight to stop the truck after turning key off. I then restarted it i put it in drive. When i let off brake the truck took off like heck, almost like it was floored on its own. The car dealer called the for advice on this ongoing problem. They thenreplaced the throttle body.i do not believe it is the dealers fault, i believe it is a defect in the wireless drive that needs to be addressed by builder and recalled.
We purchasedthis vehicle used last november. The factory windshield is nearly impossible to see through at night, and if we're driving in the rain at night, what little visibility there is. Is limited to less than 50 feet. The chrysler dealership in coos bay, oregon says that it's a factory-installed windshield and declines to take any further responsibility.the low-beam headlights are extremely dim. Safe driving at night requires our using the high beams (when safe for oncoming drivers -- not a good mix.) the chrysler dealer in coos bay, oregon investigated the headlights with a visual check, and said they're "okay."
My truck for about a year now has been having issues with the fuel system not working properly. Over time it has got a lot worse i went through and replaced the fuel pump with the original pump and still hasn't helped. Through research i was able to narrow it down to a tipm issue. Not only is it affecting my fuel system but also the windshield wipers will at random go up a few inches when unlocking the truck or opening the door. The fuel system issue is when i go to start it will just crank constantly and not start to now i might get it started after a few attempts but then it just stalls after a second of running. It has also at time while driving just randomly stalled in the middle of the road creating a hazard of a accident. I see this seems to be a common issue within these trucks but nothing has been recalled for the issue. I have had to recently pull the fuse every time i park for a period of time to prevent the fuel pump from constantly running and killing my battery which happened just the other day. Back in august i had to purchase a new battery due to the other one dying on me i believe due to the fuel pump tipm issue.
When you start the truck, the asb light comes on. The wipers, a/c, headlights, radio, and power locks will not work. If you let the truck run for about 5 mins, you hear a 'ding' and everything starts working again and the asb light goes out. Took it to a local mechanic and was told they were not able to diagnosis the problem. The truck was in park. I was able to drive the vehical but this is an issue if it's raining outside or at night.
Driving down the interstate .. It started to rain big down pour i put the wipers on and went right to high speed and they just stopped .. I had to pull to the side of the interstate and it was a fuse that was blown got a new fuse and the next time that it started to rain it was on regular speed when the rain started going harder turned it up to high again and it blew the fuse again ..i had to take my truck in for a different recall so i explained to the what was going on with my wipers and they told me that it was an issue with the motor of the wipers and that it would cost me 515.00 .. I said wait a min why would this cost me seems to me this is a safety and internal issue of my vehicle and maybe other vehicles need to be looked at .. This could have been a deadly situation for all involved .. But they don't seem to concerned about the situation and its either i pay the 515.00 to get it fixed or it doesn't get fixed .and also it did not come up on my messages that anything was wrong with my wiper motor which is part of the electronics system of my truck .
Wiper blades freeze solid as soon as they get snow or water on them in cold weather. They instantly become useless and unsafe. There is a design flaw with these wipers as there is no way to stop them from doing this. They are so frozen they don't even touch the windshield. It makes it impossible to operate this vehicle safely in cold, wet weather.
My tipmfuse box . My fuel pump stay on when i turn off the pick up and when im driving on the highway it will just shut down now it will not start when cold.(dealership) sez it a bad fuel pump relay that is intergrated to the fuse box. My wipers will shut off while driving in the rain. (dealership) sez it's the fuse box and has to be replaced for $1,000 my truck only has 12,500 miles on it and is 5yrs old. Dealership tells me it is a problem with these vehicles.
While driving vehicle with only the rear windows down, iether one or both the vehicle will shake, vibrate and the noise level inside the vehicle will rise to a level making conversation impossible.at higher speed the vibration and shaking become more problematic.dodge dealer showed me page in owners manual saying if this is a problem, just put down more windows, even if you dont want the other windows down, put down more windows.design defect ?
The contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel shook. The contact stated that an abnormal noise was heard. The failure caused the vehicle to swerve into other lanes. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 61,000.
The driver of the vehicle owns a 2011 ram 1500. While driving approximately 40 mph, the front passenger side wheel disengaged from the vehicle. As a result, the contact's vehicle crashed into a parked vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The driver was injured and transported to the hospital. The vehicle was towed to a collision center where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side wheel had a faulty lower control arm and spindle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown. ....updated 09/19/16 updated 06/18/18
Received the safety recall and contacted the dealer to setup an appointment and have been told repeatedly the parts are not in.chrysler was supposed to send out a letter to the vehicle owner advising when the parts are available. The letter has not been received and the issue is still not fixed. This vehicle is a fire department emergency response vehicle.
While driving 70mph in a '11 dodge ram this morning on the highway, both back tires locked up resulting in fish tailing completely sideways three times. We finally directed it off the highway and into a ditch to avoid any accidents when all 4 tires locked up. Luckily at 0500 there was minimal traffic and my fiance was capable of keeping the truck from rolling over.
I have had 2 blow outs (instantaneous tire deflations) in the last 30 days. According to the dealer and confirmed on the internet, this is a well known defect on this vehicle caused by defective tire pressure sensors/valve stems (tpms) corroding causing a catastrophic failure where the valve stem is lost and the tire deflates. Both occurrences were when i was traveling at high speed on a freeway. Luckily there was little traffic and i was able to gain control and pull onto the road shoulder. On inspection of the tire the valve stem was missing with a hole into the tire.unfortunately despite the dealer being aware of the problem it is not covered by warranty and costs $140 to repair. As above, this is the 2nd exact failure on the same vehicle. It appears i am expected to pay over $500 to get them all changed. In the meantime i am not allowing my wife or family to travel in what i now consider a dangerous truck.
Feels like something is loose in the steering wheel area. Lots of play in the steering and a clunk when wheelis turned. I took it to the dealer to see what the issue was and if it was part of the recall. They said the stering gear and inner tie rods are bad and the front hubs are making noise and need to be replaced.this truck only has a little over 70,000 miles on it and i have never taken it off road or drove it hard. It is used for driving to and from work.just for the cost of those items they quoted me $2312.99. I have owned three different trucks and have never had a problem like this and with such a new vehicle.dealer stated it was not part of the recall. This truck feels unsafe to drive with the steering being so loose.
The tire pressure system in one tire continuously goes out. The original sensor has been reprogrammed twice then it was replaced and the replacement continues to go out. It will be getting replaced for a second time this week.
