There are multiple electrical issues I’ve had to trouble shoot over the past 4 months. As I’ve researched other people with the same issues online, I’ve bee seeing a lot about some recalls pertaing to electrical issues and fuel issues and so I am wondering if there are prior recalls that I might need to have taken care of which I feel could fix my vehicle issues

I was driving my 2001 Dodge Ram 20-30mph and experienced a total power loss, power steering, power brakes and clock reset. My husband was also in the pickup and can attest to issue. I am an older person so had a very hard time stopping the vehicle and attempting to steer it to the side of the road. Traffic backed up behind me before I could put on my warning blinkers.Eventually, I turned off and on the pickup and everything worked somewhat normally but the vehicle went into limp mode. I got home, had the vehicle towed to the dealership. I explained issue, requested a total diagnosis of everything that was wrong but most importantly, I wanted the total power loss issue diagnosed, pinpointed and resolved. because I don't feel safe driving until issue is truly diagnosed and fixed. I gave them my lifetimecarmaxplus warranty . The techs found a...

Driving my vehicle throughout December of 2024 and the vehicle would die and power back up, vehicle would run intermittently and fail to continue operating while driving to and from work. Vehicle intermittently stalling during driving would cause "Near Miss" accidents on the road. Potentially endangering myself as the operator and other operators on the road due to a "no start" issue and unsafe operating condition in the electrical system of the vehicle. I thought it was a bad battery so I replaced it with a brand new battery from the auto parts store While I struggled to have this matter resolved before leaving for Army Active Duty. I arranged to have the vehicle turned into a Chrysler, Dodge, Ram dealer to have a diagnostic done on the vehicle. on June 6th according to their technicians report, it shows my TIPM is bad. and needed to be replaced. The dealer...

my 2011 RAM 1500 5.7L has a Faulty TIPM. Fuel Pump cuts out, causing stalling and intermittent operation, starting vehicle becomes problematic while commuting. vehicle will sometimes not start at all and will remain stuck in an ignition loop. Continues to throw random check engine codes. I have had several near miss collisions while driving due to its unsafe condition I took the vehicle in to have a diagnostic done and a licensed Chrysler dealer deduced the vehicle has a faulty TIPM, which correlates to the mass recall on the 2011 RAM 1500 models However my VIN does not show its associated with the many models of 2011 RAM 1500 when I cross referenced this.

The gas tank fell onto the road while driving to pick up my daughter from the bus. I immediately pulled over due to the sound. I then saw the front of the gas tank on the ground , half a mile down the road I was traveling there are alot of pit holes and that could of ended in a fire or worse with my tank dragging the ground. I have taken it to the dealership that would help repair the recall but they have yet to repair or give me information about what the manufacturer has said on what to do. They told me it is to rusty underneath to repair and contacted manufacturer. I am without a vehicle its been almost 2 weeks and I have a 6 year old child and my own health issues that inquire dr appointments. I have no money for a rental and...

My truck first started having trouble starting .when driving engine it would shut-off at anytime making it dangerous to steer and breakdown in traffic. There was no fault codes or warning lights on dash . After doing testing I found that the fuel pump relay was shut-off. Tipm is faulty and all Chrysler that have this style of tipm should be added to recall . I purchased a external fuel pump relay harness to repair tipm.

THE DIGITAL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES DOES NOT WORK SOMETIMES AND THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT DOES NOT WORK AT ALL. WITHOUT THE GAUGES ITS HARD TO SAY HOW SLOW/FAST OR WHAT THE VEHICLE IS DOING. IT WAS JUST INSPECTED. NO PRIOR SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS OF THIS. I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FIRST THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT OVER SEVERAL YEARS OF DODGE RAM TRUCKS DO THIS.
#11601167 |
Failure to start. Engine cranks but will not start. Remote start fails. Door locks sometimes do not work, Radio failures, engine stalls unexpectedly, TPM failure, SERV 4WD warning light is displayed sporadically. This was a recall on 2011 and 2012 Chrysler vehicles except the RAM. The RAM also has the same issues as the other recalled vehicles. Why was the Ram excluded from the recall?
#11585924 |
Ignition switch. There is an old recall on this switch but my trucks vin # was not included. I complained awhile back and still it was not added. 11373017. My switch needs to be recalled. I’m having the same exact problems originally reported. On more than one occasion I have almost gotten in an accident because of the keys falling out and getting jammed underneath the gas pedal.

My truck stalled on I26 in Johnson City; I was able to get to the shoulder and was able to get it started again, and it seemed to work ok. After that I started having issues with it not starting, but if I turned the key off, and tried again it would start. I searched the internet and found that the TIPM module in this model truck is the culprit for this issue and that there is a "work around that is sold on EBAY and other sites where the fuel pump relay is bypassed by using a wire and providing power to the fuel pump from the battery voltage of the ACC side of the switch. Last week I turned the truck off, and all electrical functions stopped working it was as if my battery was gone. After another internet search, this issue leads back to the TIPM module...

This issue has been experienced more than 5 times and only occurs while turning. While making both left and right hand turns, the steering wheel locks mid turn and the engine completely shuts off resulting in the inability to turn in any direction. The first time this happened, I almost went into a ditch and today as I turned to cross an intersection, I lost all steering control and the truck shut down mid turn in the middle of the intersection. This left the truck immobilized in the intersection and facing into oncoming traffic. Following each incident, I put the truck in park and restart it as if there was no issue. There are no warning lights that appear prior to any of the incidents that would indicate an issue and the instrument panel goes dark each time the issue occurs. This is going to get me and/or my family...

TIPM... Integrated Fuel Pump Relay, intermittent condition causes the truck to stall this is a common complaint and a significant cost to repair. Vehicle hard starts and stalls several times during inclement weather / cold starts and is an active concern while driving the vehicle. Fuel pump relay bypass is the only affordable fix as the relay is connected directly to the TIPM. No warning lights indicate any failure. Vehicle has been to dealer but due to the intermittent condition it was not repeatable at that time. This condition was investigated in 2014 but continues to be a problem. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango both had recalls on this TIPM but due to the reporting statistics within NHTSA this vehicle was not included in the recall.
#11557290 |
Cranks but don’t start at times. After doing lots of research I think the tipm is going out and will leave me stranded. Repair shop cannot find a problem
#11552154 | Fire
Engine compartment caught fire while driving. Could not put out fire vehicle was total loss.
#11551457 |
MOTOR CRANKS BUT DOES NOT TURN OVER. TRY MULTIPLE TIMES FINALLY IT WILL START. JUMPED THE FUEL PUMP FUSE IN TIPM TO EMPTY SLOT AND IT STARTS NORMAL 50% OF THE TIME. READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM AND HISTORY OF RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT THIS MODEL. UNACCEPTABLE. SLEW OF OTHER ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE: RADIO CHANGING STATIONS AND SAVING CURRENT STATION TO MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WITHOUT TOUCHING SCREEN, POWER WINDOW SWITCHES STOP WORKING UNLESS UNPLUGGED THEN RECONNECTED FIRST, HEAD/TAIL/BACK-UP LIGHTS GOING OUT THEN BACK ON

My truck has the same Fuse box assembly that several other dodge jeep vehicles have that the fuel pump relay shorts out while driving yet none of yalls recalls include my specific vehicle so that I can get my truck fixed under the multiple recalls yall have issued for this exact problem, dodge should be held liable for their mistakes not the consumers who are having to pay to fix the issue out of pocket simply because y'all didn't include our vehicles in the recall, my vehicle has shorted out many times almost causing us to nearly have multiple wrecks
#11528801 |
The exhaust manifold cracked, the electrical system, supplying gas to the engine, is built into the fuse box, which is unfixable without replacing the entire fuse box. Valve on engine became extremely noisy and I’ve had to be replaced

RAM 1500 shuts off randomly. Many people on-line are showing this problem on multiple model years. The WIN module (ignition switch) contacts fail and causes the vehicle to shut down in the midst of driving. I've had it shut down on me 3 times at highway speeds. I've nearly been hit twice because the vehicle just shuts off as if I had turned the key off. It is a well documented issue.
#11504154 |
With no warning the TIPM malfunctioned leaving my truck in a crank with no start scenario and stranded. Then my starter died trying to resolve. Starter replaced and mechanic found the TIPM fuel relay corroded and malfunctioning. Chrysler dealers tell me no new TIPM is available as far as they can search across Canada and they have no ETA when they expect availability of the part. So now I can’t even repair the truck? Every other 2011 Chrysler / Jeep / Dodge had been recalled for the EXACT same part back in 2014-2015 investigation. Why was the 2011 Ram truck excluded from this recall??? A few searches online and it’s evident the majority of 2011 ram owners have run into this issue, and lots of reporting of it. So now I have a vehicle that has 0 parts available to fix (straight from multiple Chrysler dealers parts dept) and is...

The vehicle's fuel pump continues to run even when the vehicle is turned off causing the overheating of electrical wiring and draining the battery, it's a serious issue and a fire hazard that will set the fuel tank on fire, I filed a complaint back in June and no action has been taken.
#11489166 |
Car would not start fuel pump was the root cause. The replacement of the fuel pump did not fix starting problem. The issue ended up being the fuse to the fuel pump was not getting power. The current fix is a wire jumper from the cigarette lighter fuse to fuel pump fuse.

The contact owns a 2011 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start up after multiple attempts without warning. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to a dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) was defective. The contact stated that a relay switch bypass was performed to correct the failure. The contact then notified the manufacturer of the failure and the manufacturer acknowledged that the failure was common; however, there were no recalls on his vehicle. The manufacturer then referred him to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 76,108.

In march/ 2020 my truck shut off 3xs going down the hwy with me and my kids in it . all without any warning. Upon the third event it caused my truck to began losing power to my headlights and tail lights and no hazards as well ? Which i thought was a very concerning matter especially at night... Very dangerous and it could have had one of us hurt or even killed . i payed 150 for a wrecker and hauled it to a mechanic that night . over the course of the next few days they checked it and no signs of the same thing recurring while at the shop . payed another 75 dollars amd drove truck for another couple months and then the same thing happening again . yet this time i was lucky enough to be just pulling out of my driveway . took to...

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.

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!

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
#11395915 |
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.

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...
