NHTSA Complaint #10967519 — 2011 DODGE RAM 1500

TAKATA RECALL THE 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!!
