NHTSA Complaint #10750198 — 2008 DODGE RAM 2500

TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) FAILED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. VEHICLE LOST ENGINE POWER, POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES. -TON TRUCKS ARE VERY HEAVY AND ARE NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AND CONTROL WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND DO NOT STOP WITHOUT POWER BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE TO THE BODY. I WAS LUCKY TO NOT CAUSE A BIGGER ACCIDENT AND LUCKY NOT TO INJURE MYSELF OR ANYBODY ELSE. THIS TIPM FAILURE IS VERY COMMON WITH DODGE VEHICLES AND I AM DISGUSTED HOW CHRYSLER-DODGE HAS CONDUCTED THEMSELVES IN REGARD TO RECALLS AND WARRANTY. HAD I BEEN TOWING A TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY I WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I FEAR THIS TIPM FAILURE WILL RESULT IN LOSS OF LIFE IF IT HASN'T SO ALREADY.
