2009 DODGE RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

Heating & ventilation, I have lost heat in my truck, issues with fuel pump/filte where truck won’t start, and had the water pump had to be replace. I believe the majority of the things listed had recalls. What is included in the recalls and can a recall be replaced more than 1x?

My trucks ignition switch just stops turing my truck on I've seen multiple complaints about the same issue leaves you stranded

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BLUEBONNET CHRYSLER DODGE (547 S SEGUIN AVE, NEW BRAUNFELS, TX 78130) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND AN UNKNOWN MODULE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SAME DEALER HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 198,000.

THE KEY FALLS OUT OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING ,ALSO THE SHIFTER CAN BE MOVED WITHOUT KEY IN IGNITION IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS 10V200000 RECALL BUT MY TRUCK ISN'T INCLUDED IN RECALL SEARCH BUT IT SHOULD, I KNOW DODGE RETOOLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 2009 YEAR AND THE PARTS ON MY TRUCK MATCH A 2010 YEAR MODEL FOR WHICH THE RECALL IS INTENDED.THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED BY SEEMINGLY A CLERICAL ERROR.

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK IT JUST SHUT OFF, DIED AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS! GOING 65 MILES AN HOUR, IN THE CENTER LANE TRYING TO GET OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD...SAFELY! I TRIED TO START THE TRUCK...EVERYTHING CAME ON AS NORMAL, BUT WOULD NOT CRANK. I HAD TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED $$. THE ALTERNATOR WAS REPLACED $$. TRUCK STILL WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD NOT CRANK, YOU COULD HEAR CLICKING UNDER THE HOOD AND YOU COULD HEAR THE FUEL PUMP COME ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WIN MODULE WHICH COST ME $870.00!! (WIN MODULE AND PROGRAMMING) EVIDENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH DODGE TRUCKS. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO HAVE A RECALL ON THIS PART?!! DOES IT TAKE A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CRASHES OR DEATHS? ALL IN ALL IT COST ME ABOUT $1500, BUT IT COULD HAVE COST ME...

THE VEHICLE DIES AND EVERYTHING BECOMES DISABLED INCLUDING ALL OUTSIDE LIGHTS INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS. ENGINE TURNS OFF AND THEN WILL NO RESTART. SOMETIMES THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT BUT LATER COMPLETELY FAILS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 2 YEARS THAT THIS TRUCK HAS DIED. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED ON A FOGGY NIGHT. TH ENGINE AND ALL LIGHTS TURNED OFF AT CRUISING SPEED LEAVING ONLY SOME INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS ON WHICH ENDS UP BEIN EVEN MORE OF A DISTRACTION FROM THE SUDDEN OUTSIDE DARKNESS. AFTER TRYING TO FIND THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN THE DARKNESS, THEN YOUR EMERGENCY FLASHERS DO NOT WORK LEAVING THE TRUCK JUST A DARK TARGET IN THE ROAD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. RECENTLY THIS SAME TRUCK DIED A SECOND TIME BUT THANKFULLY AFTER FILLING UP A A GAS STATION. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE, THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY MANY DODGE RAM OWNERS FROM...

TIPM FAILURE-TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE ABRUPTLY FAILED WITH NO WARNING SIGNS OR NOTHING.. I TOOK IT IN LIGHT TO LIGHT SYSTEMS NOT WORKING.. WINDOWS, HEADLIGHTS, THIS IS HAZARDOUS FOR DRIVERS.. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL NOR HAS THERE BEEN A PRIOR ISSUE.. THEY SAID MY VIN NUMBER [XXX] HAS NO RECALL THEY FIXED THE HVAC I WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY.. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HEATER FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE ROADWAY CLEARLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND HAD THE HEATER CORE AND THERMOSTAT REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED HE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V158000 (EQUIPMENT) HOWEVER THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TRUCK SOMETIMES SHOWS LIFE WHEN IN ACCESSORY BUT WHEN PUT TO ON TRUCK DIES COMPLETELY, OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO TURN OVER WITH NO SIGN OF LIFE. MINUTES LATER I CAN COME BACK AND START IT NO PROBLEM. HEADLIGHTS WILL CONSISTENTLY STUTTER OR EVEN TURN ON OR OFF WHILE PARKED OR MOVING. LASTLY WHILE DRIVING SOMETIMES ALL POWER AND ELECTRICAL SHUTS OFF AND TRUCK IS COMPLETELY DEAD WHILE GOING ANY SPEED. I HAVE NOT FOUND A CERTAIN SPEED IT DIES BECAUSE IT HAS SHUT OFF IN PARKING LOTS AND GOING DOWN HIGHWAY. POWER STEERING IS GONE AND ITS SCARY TO PULL OF SIDE OF ROAD WHEN SOME ROADS DON'T HAVE MUCH TO WORK WITH OR GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LOSING ALL POWER.

THERE IS A CLICKING IN THE DASHBOARD FOR A FEW MINUTES I TRIED COMMON PROBLEMS THAT WOULD MAKE THAT NOISE ARE THE BLOWER MOTOR OR BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR REPLACED THEM AND STILL THE CLICKING HAPPENS BUT A CAUSE OF THIS CLICKING THE AIR WON'T WORK OR IS GOOD VERY SLOWLY AND CAUSES MY FRONT WINDSHIELD TO FOG UP TO THE POINT AT WHICH I CAN'T SEE OUT THE FRONT WHEN MY TRUCK IS NOT MOVING SAME RESULT I. THE CITY OR FREEWAY TURNING OR ON THE STREET IT WILL JUST TURN ON AND OFF AT RANDOM POINTS AND THE CLICKING SOUND IS COMING FROM THE LITTLE BLACK BOX THAT I CAN'T FIND D ANY INFORMATION ON

THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE FAILED AND IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL CHRYSLER AND DODGE VEHICLES. THAT FAILS THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH, AC, BRAKE LIGHT, TURN SIGNAL, HORN, WIPERS, STOP WORKING AND TRANSMISSION STAYS IN 1ST GEAR. THE LIGHTS ON THE DAS STAY ON: BRAKES, ABS, SEATBELT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AIR BAG... THIS IS AN SPECIALLY WHEN THE MODULE FAILS WHILE DRIVING IN THE ROAD. DEALERS KNOW IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM BUT THEY RATHER HAVE CUSTOMER PAY FOR A NEW TIPM.

VEHICLE POWER FAILURE WHILE MOVING ON THREE OCCASIONS. VEHICLE LOSES ALL POWER INCLUDING STEERING. HAVE ALREADY REPLACED SEVERAL SENSORS AND THE PCM WITH NO SUCCESS. VERY HAZARDOUS TO ME AND ALL MOTORISTS AROUND ME.

STARTED VEHICLE AND THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE LIT AIRBAG, TRACTION CONTROL, ESP BAD, ANTILOCK BRAKE, AND THE WIPERS WOULDN'T WORK, ALSO THE POWER OUTLET THAT ONLY RUN WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED, I DROVE THE VEHICLE AND ALL FORE MENTIONED ITEMS WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE LENGTH OF TIME THEY ARE LIT/ NOT FUNCTIONING VARIES FROM A COUPLE OF.MINUTE TO A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

THE TIPM HAS GONE UP WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND ITS VERY COSTLY ALSO I HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR I HAVE DONE THIS LIKE 4 TIMES ITS A LOT OF MONEY AND A HASSLE WHY HAVENT THESE THINGS BEEN RECALLED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ALTERNATOR WAS ABOUT TO FAIL. THE CONTACT HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED WITH A REBUILT ONE; HOWEVER, THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR FAILED A WEEK LATER. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TESTED FOR A NEW BATTERY AND SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE ALTERNATOR FAILED AGAIN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AGAIN AND INFORMED THE CONTACT OF RECALLS FOR THE DODGE RAMS FROM 2007 THROUGH 2013. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,917. *TT*JB

I NOTICED THAT WHEN BREAKING AT A RED LIGHT OR DURING HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS, MY TRUCK LOOSES COMPLETE POWER. I CANNOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO STEER AWAY FROM TRAFFIC. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I WILL CERTAINLY WILL LIKE TO GET SOME INFORMATION ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

TRUCK WOULD NOT START, ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEARBY AHOP. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAA A BAD TIPM (TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) AND UPON INVEATIGATION BY REPAIR SHOP WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL AND THIS MODULE WAS ON BACK ORDER DUE TO NUMBER OF VEHICLEA AFFECTED AND REDESIGN OF MODULE. WAS WITHOUT TRUCK FOR SIX MONTHS. ALL SYSTEMS WERE AFFECTED AND WOULD NOT WORK. IT HAD BURNED OUT STARTER AND AFFECTED ALL ELECTRICAL SYATEMS.

ON MY 2009 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI I HAVE BROKEN BOLTS ON MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD, SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY HVAC SYSTEM IN MY TRUCK ALSO. BOTH OF WHICH I SEE ARE VERY COMMON PROBLEMS WITH THESE TRUCKS.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON ALL THE TIME, ALL TROUBLE LIGHTS ON DASH ARE ON, SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER ARE DEAD, FRONT WINDOWS WONT OPERATE, BACK WINDOWS DO OPERATE. A/C WILL BLOW AIR BUT NOT COLD AIR. HORN WILL BEEP INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CAR NOT IN USE. NO TROUBLE CODES WHEN SCANNED. 2 DEALERS HAVE IDENTIFIED IT AS THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE PROBLEM. PART IS UNAVAILABLE FROM OEM AS IT IS IN "ENGINEERING REVIEW".

I HAVE HAD THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE REPLACED TWICE NOW DUE TO FAILURE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IN DODGES. IT HAS CAUSED MY WINDOW DEFROSTER, WIPERS, DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS RANDOMLY NOT TO WORK. PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING ELECTRICAL. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG GOES ON AND OFF, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY ABS BRAKE SYSTEM HAS BEEN MALFUNCTIONING AND LOCKING UP ON ME. THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THERE'S COLD WEATHER OR RAIN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DEFROSTER OR WIPERS ARENT WORKING OR MY TURN SIGNAL IS CUTTING OUT. THE TIPM ON OTHER JEEP AND CHRYSLER PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY DODGE HASNT ISSUED A RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED FARTHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE HEADLAMPS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMP SWITCH WAS SET TO AUTO-ON AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. ADDITIONALLY, THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING UNIT ACTIVATED AND WERE UNABLE TO BE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED FIVE TIMES PREVIOUSLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO BE REACHED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,178.

TIPM TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE IS DEFECTIVE RESULTING IN ESP, POWER DOORS WINDOWS, ABS, AND WIPERS NOT WORKING HAD MECHANIC ORDER PART AND DODGE CANCELLED ORDER ON FEBRUARY 8TH SAID WOULD NOT TAKE ORDERS TILL MARCH 15TH AND NOW IT IS PUSHED BACK TO JUNE 12TH

I HAVE A 2011 DODGE RAM. I HAD TO MARK 2009 BECAUSE MY YEAR WANT IN THE OPTIONS. I HAVE REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP TWICE TO FIND OUT I HAVE A BAD TIPM. MY FUEL PUMP WON'T SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN, TRUCK LOSSES POWER OUT OF NO WHERE, AND DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK SOMETIMES. I'VE SPENT A FEW THOUSAND TO TRY TO GET THIS FIXED JUST TO LEARN IT'S THE TIPM.YOUR OPTIONS WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHECK THE PROPER BOXES

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EVERYTHING ELECTRICALLY RELATED TO THE TRUCK. TRUCK STALLS N THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING, WON'T START UP AT ALL ON SOME OCCASIONS OTHERS ITS FINE. ONCE THE TRUCK STARTS, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. (CHECK ENGINE, ABS, LOW WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, VOLTAGE, LOW OIL PRESSURE, ETC) THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND NOW SITS IN THE DRIVE WAY! ACCORDING TO DODGES OWN WEBSITE: "WE'RE COMMITTED TO YOUR SAFETY FCA US LLC REGARDS THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND THEIR FAMILIES AS PARAMOUNT AND IS FULLY COMMITTED TO PRODUCING A VEHICLE WITH LONG-LASTING RELIABILITY. YOUR CONFIDENCE IN OUR PRODUCTS AND OUR SERVICE IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO US. AS A RESULT OF OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU, WE MAY PERIODICALLY RECALL A VEHICLE TO CORRECT A PROBLEM OR IMPROVE OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND INTEGRITY." WELL RIGHT NOW FOR MANY DODGE OWNERS YOUR CARS...

LIGHTING SOCKETS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL PARTS ARE MELTING AND SMOKING CAUSING EVERYTHING NOT WORK. CURRENTLY NOT WORKING AFTER BEING REPLACE IN WITHIN THE LAST 3 MONTHS: HEADLIGHTS, REVERSE LIGHTS, PARKING SENSORS (4), HEATED SEATS, RANDOMLY THE NAVIGATION/MUSIC SYSTEM, UNLOCKING/LOCKING WITH KEY FOB (RANDOMLY), ABS SENSORS, 4 WHEEL DRIVE BEING TURNED OFF AND ON, THE PARKING BRAKE RANDOMLY TURNING OFF AND ON. I WILL BE DRIVING AND THINGS WILL SLOWING START TO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS DON'T WORK WHEN I GO TO LEAVE IN THE EARLY MORNING AND I HAVE TO TAKE A DIFFERENT VEHICLE SINCE YOU CANNOT LEGALLY DRIVE WITHOUT WORKING LIGHTS IN THE DARK. MULTIPLE CAR REPAIR SHOPS HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS THINGS TO FIX IT. WE HAVE SPENT UNDER 4K IN REPAIRS ON A TRUCK WE HAVE OWNED LESS THAN A YEAR, AND WE ARE NOW BEING TOLD WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO SPEND 1K PLUS LABOR...

VEHICLE SITS OVER NIGHT AND BATTERY DRAINS. NUMEROUS FORMS ONLINE ADVISED THIS WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME BUT, ALSO HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF OTHERS. IT HAS BEEN TO THE CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER FOUR TIMES WITH NO RESULTS. I REPLACED THE TOTAL INTEGRATED CONTROL MODULE, WENT THROUGH 3 BRAND NEW MOPAR BATTERIES, HAD IT PUT ON THE DIAGNOSTICS TOOL AT THE DEALER AND AFTER 3-4 WEEKS OF GUESS AND CHECK THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. SOMETHING IS CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN OVERNIGHT. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ONE NIGHT, SOMETIMES 3-4 AND THE TEMP OUTSIDE DOES NOT PLAY ANY ROLE IN IT. THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT WITH MY 09 RAM 1500 QUADCAB AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME THE ISSUE. I'M BELIEVING MORE AND MORE THAT I HAVE GOTTEN A LEMON AND UNFORTUNATELY I CAN NOT TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY LEMON LAW DUE TO MY GEOGRAPHIC...

THE GEARS ON ACTUATOR FAILED CAUSING A LOSS OF HEAT IN MY 2009 RAM 1500. CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PERFORMED AND THAT THEY WILL NOT PERFORM THE RECALL AGAIN. WHEN THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW ANY SIGNS OF THE KNOWN ISSUES, SO THE PARTS WERE NEVER REPLACED. NOW THE PARTS MENTIONED IN THE RECALL IS FAILING. I DO NOT HAVE HEAT IN MY VEHICLE AND BECAUSE OF THE COLD WEATHER MY WINDOWS FOG UP MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART WHILE HOLDING THE KEY FOB BUT, WHEN RELEASED, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRELESS IGNITION SWITCH NEEDED REPALCEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE COST. THE CONTACT FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V2400000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) ONLINE FOR THE 2010 RAM QUAD CAB REGARDING THE SAME FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO CONTACT NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 99,900.

WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND THE TRUCK JUST DIED. I TRIED TO START IT BACK UP AND HEARD A CLICKING NOISE. THINKING THAT IT WAS JUST A BATTERY PROBLEM, I PUT A JUMP BOX ON IT AND IT STARTED. TOOK THE JUMP BOX OFF AND IT DIED. KNEW IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. THEY PUT A NEW ALTERNATOR ON IT AND STILL WAS NOT CHARGING. CHANGED THE BATTERY AND STILL WAS NOT CHARGING. CHECKED THE FUSE BOX AND FOUND A BLOWN FUSE FOR THE PCM AND CHANGED IT. IT STILL WAS NOT CHARGING. LIKE ANYONE ELSE AND PRODUCT OF ELIMINATION, VOLTAGE REGULATOR. GO TO CHANGE THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR AND FIND OUT THAT THEY CHANGED IT TO A MODULE THAT THEY PUT INSIDE THE COMPUTER. NOW, I HAVE TO HAVE THE WHOLE COMPUTER CHANGED OR DO WITHOUT MY...

TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO START UNLESS YOU WIGGLE THE KEY FOB, IT ALSO SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DUE TO THE KEY ISSUE. IF YOU ADJUST THE KEY, YOU CAN RESTART IT, CAN ALSO START IT BY PUTTING YOUR FINGER IN THE HOLE FOR THE KEY TO GO INTO WITH THE FOB NEXT TO IT. MOSTLY HAPPENS WHEN INITIALLY STARTING IT AND IF YOU HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE REMOVED ALL KEYS FROM THE FOB BUT IT CONTINUES TO CUT THE TRUCK OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS A COMMON RECALL ON THE DODGE TOWN AND COUNTRY. I TALKED TO DODGE THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID OUR TRUCK WAS NOT AFFECTED AND WE COULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE HVAC SYSTEM WOULD NOT DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

MY EXTREMELY LOW-MILEAGE RAM IS EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL AND SENSOR ISSUES OF A TRUCK TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES HIGHER. THE KEY FOB WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS BUT THE LIGHTS WILL FLASH. THE ESP/BAS LIGHT REMAINS ON ALONG WITH THE SLIPPING LIGHT PLUS THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THEY ALL REMAIN ON. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PANEL WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS. THE PANEL WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE THE 2 REAR WINDOWS, BUT, THE 2 FRONT WINDOWS WILL OPEN AND CLOSE. ALL LIGHTS REMAIN ON WHILE IN MOTION OR PARKED. I DID NOTICE THE COLUMN SHIFTER WAS EXTREMELY LOOSE AND WAS NOT AS TIGHT AS NORMAL. VEHICLE HAS JUST OVER 65,000 MILES ON IT. AND IS 8 YEARS OLD POSSIBLY RELATED ISSUES ARE THAT THE TRUCK WAS RECENTLY TAKEN IN FOR WHEEL SENSOR REPLACEMENTS AND LOW IDLE CAUSING STALLING.

THE DEALER SAYS ITS A BAD TIPM, AND THAT THEY GO BAD ON RAM TRUCKS OFTEN. ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES CRAZY, TRACTION CONTROL, AIR BAGS, ABS, BLOWER FOR HEAT AND AIR, WIPERS, DOOR LOCKS, WINDOWS AND OTHERS. IF THEY KNOW THIS IS FAULTY WHY NOT SHOULD THEY HAVE TO RECALL OR PAY US BACK

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH EVERYTHING ELECTRICALLY RELATED TO THE TRUCK. THE HEADLIGHTS STAY ON, I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY TO GET THEM TO GO OFF. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONSTANTLY REMAIN ON. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS, DOOR LOCKS, WINDOWS, SEATS, HEAT, A/C, RADIO, DASH LIGHTS, ETC DO NOT WORK. ONCE THE TRUCK STARTS, ALL OF THE DASH WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. (CHECK ENGINE, ABS, LOW WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID, VOLTAGE, LOW OIL PRESSURE, ETC) THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IS A HAZARD TO MY FAMILY.

I AM HAVING A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION WITH MY TRUCK. I REMOTELY STARTED IT ONE COLD MORNING, APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES. AFTER GOING OUTSIDE AND APPROACHING THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON. WHEN REMOTELY STARTING A VEHICLE ONLY THE PARKING/MARKER LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN I TRIED TO UNLOCK THE TRUCK WITH THE KEY FOB, NOTHING WORKED. I MANUALLY UNLOCKED THE DRIVERS DOOR AND OPENED IT TO FIND AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ISSUES. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT COME ON. THE WINDOWS WERE STILL COMPLETELY FROSTED UP. I NOTICED THAT THE DEFROST WASN'T WORKING, INCLUDING THE HEATED SEATS, HEATED STEERING WHEEL, AND HEATED MIRRORS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THERE WERE NO LIGHTS OR POWER TO THE ENTIRE RADIO CLUSTER, HEAT & A/C CONTROLS, PARKING ASSIST BUTTONS, HAZARD BUTTON, 4 WHEEL DRIVE CONTROLS, ETC. THE DOORS DIDN'T HAVE POWER FOR ANY DOOR LOCKS OR WINDOWS. ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, EVERY...

THE REAR POWER DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK WHATSOEVER IN MY TRUCK. TRYING TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE DOORS IN MY TRUCK WITH THE KEY FOB ONLY OPERATE THE FRONT DOORS. TRYING TO UNLOCK/LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE POWER DOOR LOCK CONTROLS ONLY OPERATE THE FRONT DOORS AS WELL. THE ONLY WAY THE BACK DOORS WILL LOCK/UNLOCK IS IF IT IS DONE MANUALLY. WHEN THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED, THE BACK DOORS DO NOT LOCK WHEN THE TRUCK REACHES THE SPEED THAT ENGAGES ALL DOOR LOCKS WHEN IN DRIVE. THE DOORS WILL NOT UNLOCK WHEN PUTTING THE TRUCK INTO PARK. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF ONE OR THE OTHER IS MALFUNCTIONING, BUT NOT BOTH. THIS DEFINITELY INDICATES AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. MY CHILDREN CAN GET TRAPPED IN IF THEY TRY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN ACCIDENT, THEY COULD GET KIDNAPPED/ASSAULTED IF THE BACK DOOR...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.

BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR AND BLEND DOOR GEAR BOX FAILED REPEATEDLY CHANGING HOT AIR FROM AC UNIT TO COLD AIR OR VISE VERSA.

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...

PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WILL LOCK / UNLOCK ONLY WITH KEY OR BY PULLING UP/PUSHING DOWN THE MANUAL LOCK CONTROLL IN THAT DOOR. IT CANNOT BE OPERATED WITH THE ELECTRIC CONTROLS IN EITHER THAT DOOR OR THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, AND IT WILL NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WITH THE OTHER THREE DOORS WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. IT BEGAN DOING THIS AFTER IT WAS ABOUT ONE YEAR OLD. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO LOCK THIS DOOR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE, FOR CHILDRENS SAFETY, OR TO KEEP SOMEBODY FROM ENTERING.

VEHICLE ODOMETER RESETS AT 66,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS THREE DIFFERENT TIMES CONSISTENTLY @ 66,000 MILES.

FOR THE PAST MONTH NOW MY 2009 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI HAS STALLED OUT ON ME 4 TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, AND JUST SITTING IN DRIVE IN A PARKING GARAGE LOT. TRUCK HAS 142000 MILES ON IT BUT THIS STALLING ISSUE HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AROUND 30K. I CAN PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND START IT BACK UP BUT THERE'S A KNOCK EVERY TIME NOW. IT IS STARTING TO WORRY ME THAT THE TRUCK MAY STALL OUT ON THE FREEWAY. I DO NOTICE THAT IT OCCURS WHENEVER THE RPM GET LOW AROUND 500-700 RPM. THE TRUCK THEN BOGS DOWN AND STALLS WHENEVER I SHIFT FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE ON THE FEW OCCASIONS THAT IT HAPPENED. WHEN I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN...

KEY FOBS, REMOTE DOOR LOCK/UNLOCK FAILING. KEY FOBS KEEP FAILING, BUY NEW FOBS AND AFTER ABOUT A YEAR THEY FAIL. OWNERS RESORT TO UNHOOKING THE HORNS AS THE HORNS SOUND WHEN MANUALLY UNLOCKING THE DOORS WITH THE KEY. THIS IS A STATIONARY FAILURE OF THE FOB. HOWEVER IF OWNERS ARE DISCONNECTING THE HORNS, THAT WOULD BE A SAFETY PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE NEED TO ALERT OTHER VEHICLES ARISES. VEHICLE OWNERS ARE NOT PURCHASING NEW FOBS DUE TO COST BUT RATHER DISCONNECTING THEIR HORNS SO THAT THE ALARM DOES NOT SOUND WHEN UNLOCKING THE DRIVERS DOOR TO GAIN ENTRY. MANY OWNERS ARE NOT REPORTING THIS DEFECT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS A VAST # OF COMPLAINTS ON WEBSITE FORUMS. SOURCE-I AM AN ASE MASTER TECH. I HAVE AN 09 1500 THAT THIS IS HAPPENING...

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I ACCELERATED, THE TRUCK POWER FELT AS IF THE TRUCK WAS PULLING A HEAVY LOAD. I NOTICE THE SHIFTER INDICATOR ON THE (-/+ ) INSTEAD ON (D). I TRY TO SHIFT TO (D) BUT INSTEAD IT WENT TO REVERSE.THE TIRES SQUEALED AND THE TRUCK DIED. IT STARTED BACK UP BY THE RADIO WAS NOT OPERABLE. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT ON AND THE RADIO WORK. THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH THE RADIO HAS OCCURRED A TOTAL OF 2 TIMES. SINCE THE FIRST OCCURRENCE I HAVE AN ENGINE LIGHT ON. NOW WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN (-/+) MODE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT INDICATE MY TRUCK IS 4TH GEAR. THERE IS ANOTHER (-/+) AS WELL ON THE SHIFTER WERE YOU CAN INCREASE OR DECREASE THE GEAR YOU ARE IN. I HAVE TRIED TO CHANGE THAT GEAR....

WAS COMMUNICATING WITH FCA FOR BUYBACK UNDER N08 RECALL. WAS REFERED TO DEALER, AND DEALER REQUESTED PERSONAL LOAN INFORMATION BEFORE THEY WOULD TAKE ACTION. THIS ALERTED ME THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO FIND OUT THE DEBT SO THEY COULD LOW BALL THEIR OFFER. THEY WERE PRESSURING ME TO TRADE AT BLACKBOOK VALUE. AM DEALING WITH SPOUSE WITH CANCER AND WAS NOT INFORMED OF A EXPIRATION FOR BUYBACK. TRUCK IS NOW SITTING IN DRIVE WITH AXLE LOCK CONDITION. I FEEL I HAVE THE WORST CASE SCENARIO WITH THIS AND REQUEST EXPEDIENT ASSISTANCE FROM YOUR OFFICE. HAVE NOW LOST $15K VALUE IN THIS. WILL CONSULT LEGAL REPRESENTATION. A PERSONAL RESPONSE FROM YOUR OFFICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. FCA CLAIMS BUYBACK ENDED 1/4/2016 EVEN THOUGH I HAD A BALL PARK OFFER FROM THEM AND APPARENTLY THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE OFFER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, BOTH HIGH AND LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT INDEPENDENTLY REPLACED THE BULBS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) NEEDED TO BE RESET. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

THIS VEHICLE IS LISTED IN THE BUYBACK PROGRAM DUE TO REAR AXLE PINION NUT DEFECT. WAS OFFERED BLACKBOOK VALUE TO TRADE AND LOW BLUE BOOK TRADE VALUE FOR BUYBACK. VEHICLE EXCEEDS ALL CONDITION REQUIREMENTS. CHRYSLER HAS DEMANDED TO KNOW MY DEBT VALUE BEFORE APPRAISAL. FCA IS STALLING AND TRYING TO CAPITALIZE A PROFIT MARGIN ON MY TRUCK. DEALER USED PRESSURE TACTICS FOR PROCESS, STATED PROCESS WOULD TAKE EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND I SHOULD TRADE IT IN OR LET THEM REPAIR. HAVE RECEIVED 2 TRADE OFFERS FOR WHOLESALE VALUE, FROM 2 DIFFERENT FCA DEALERS. THE REAR AXLE HAS NOW LOCKED UP ONCE WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT MY WORKPLACE, 1800 NORTH FRUITRIDGE AVE, TERRE HAUTE, IND. I WAS ABLE TO GET UNSEIZED AND HOME. UNABLE TO DRIVE DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE. FCA STATED THEY REQUIRED 3RD PARTY APPRAISAL BUT WILL NOT PROCEED UNTIL I RELEASE MY DEBT...

OUR TRUCK BEGAN STALLING THE ENGINE AT LOW SPEEDS IN DEC. 2015, I CHANGED ALL 16 SPARK PLUGS THINKING THIS WOULD FIX THE ISSUE, IT DIDN'T. ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THIS STARTED, I WAS TRYING TO UNLOCK THE TRUCK WITH THE KEY FOB FOR A SHORT TRIP INTO TOWN. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD FLASH, BUT THE DOORS WOULD NEITHER LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH THE FOB. I OPENED THE DOOR WITH THE KEY AND STARTED THE ENGINE. THE IDIOT LIGHTS FOR THE AIR BAGS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WERE BOTH ILLUMINATED. WE HAD NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH ANY OF THIS PREVIOUSLY. NEXT, I TRIED TO LOCK THE DOORS FOR THE TRIP, USING THE PDL SWITCH AND FOUND IT TO BE INOPERABLE. ALSO NOT WORKING WERE THE PW, HVAC SYSTEM, HORN, AND WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM. THIS WAS SO VERY STRANGE THAT I GOOGLED THESE SYMPTOMS AND DISCOVERED THE TIPM, TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER...

PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT INTERMITTANTLY FAILS, BUT BULB IS OK. WINDOWS INTERMITTANTLY ROLL THEMSELVES DOWN. KEY(FOB) GETS STUCK IN RECEPTICALE. PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD SPRAYER DOES NOT SPRAY WATER.

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) HAS BEEN DANGEROUS. ALL FOUR WINDOWS WENT DOWN WHILE TRUCK WAS UNATTENDED AND LOCKED SEVERAL TIMES. WE REPLACED THE EXPENSIVE TIPM AND CAR STOPPED DOING THAT. A FEW MONTHS LATER, WE FOUND OUT THAT JUST ONE ELECTRICAL ITEM CAN CAUSE THE ENTIRE TIPM BURN OUT THAT AFFECTS ALMOST EVERYTHING IN THE CAR. FOR US IT WAS THE BACKUP CAMERA THAT HAD A SHORT. IT CAUSED AIR BAGS, SEAT BELT SAFETY, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, DEFROST/FAN, BACKUP CAMERA, LOCKS NOT TO WORK. DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE TIPM AGAIN. WE ALSO BELIEVE THE TIPM MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH OUR TRANSMISSION LOCKING INTO GEAR.
