NHTSA Complaint #10864722 — 2009 DODGE RAM 1500

BATTERY STARTED GOING DEAD. BATTERY AND ALT BOTH TESTED GOOD. A LOT OF THINGS STOPPED WORKING INCLUDING; BACK WINDOWS, REAR SLIDING GLASS, POWER LOCKS, HEAT/AC FAN, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, PARK ASSIST, MIRRORS, WIPERS, AND A FEW OTHER THINGS I AM FORGETTING OR HAVEN'T FOUND. HAD A CHRYSLER MECHANIC FRIEND OF MINE HELP ME DIAGNOSE THE TIPM AS THE PROBLEM. TIPM IS DRAWING 4A WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF. I AM NOW HAVING TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY ANY TIME I PARK IT FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR AND PUT THE BATTERY ON THE CHARGER OVER NIGHT. TIPM IS ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, CHRYSLER IS INSTALLING 9 A DAY AND THAT JUST THE ONES FOR MY 09 TRUCK WHICH ONLY WORKS IN 09'S. VERY FRUSTRATING AND BEEN HELL TO DRIVE THIS IN THE SPRING IN MO, NO WIPERS OR AC DURING RAINY, HUMID HOT SEASON JUST SUCKS AND IS MY PERSONAL HELL.
