2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

HIT A DEER WITH MY TRUCK. FUEL PUMP RUNS ALL THE TIME. HAD TRUCK TESTED. WAS PURL PUMP RELAY BYPASS KIT. OTHER MODELS ARE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME REASON. ALSO TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR. TESTED THAT TOO. IT'S THE LR SOLENOID IN THE COM. NONE OF THIS ISSUES WAS WRONG BEFORE HITTING THE DEER. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED.

WHILE THE ENGINE IS SHUT OFF THE FUEL PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AND WILL CAUSE THE BATTERY TO DIE. THIS IS THE RESULT OF A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY. THIS PART HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME TIPM BUT NOT FOR DODGE RAM TRUCKS.

MY TRUCK STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE AFTER MY LAST RECALL WAS COMPLETED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON TOOK BACK TO DODGE, AND THE SAID IT WAS FIXED. SO AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, GOT A SYSTEM CHECK SAID IT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH FUEL PUMP OR LINE. WHEN MENTIONING TO DOGE SAID IT WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH RECALL. NOW MY TRUCK WILL NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP OFF AND RECENTLY CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WENT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. NO POWER AT ALL I HAD TO JUMP OUT QUICKLY AND JUMP MY TRUCK OFF JUST TO GET TO SAFETY. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT JUMPING OF DUE TO BATTERY DYING DUE FUEL PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF. THE FUEL PUMP IS GOING OUT AND IT WAS MENTIONED THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE FOR...

2011 DODGE RAM 1500 STALLED AT BUSY INTERSECTION HAD IT TOWED HOME, STALLED IN BUSY FREEWAY 198 AND HAD TO BE TOWED HOME, THE CODE SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, HAD IT REPLACED, THE VEHICLE STILL STALLED. TOOK IT TO HANFORD DODGE THEY DIAGNOSTIC SAYS IT WAS THE TIPM, THEY SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS RECALLED FOR THE DURANGO. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH DODGE...THEY NEED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS THEY HAVE BEEN PUTTING IN FAULTY TIPM KNOWINGLY

I BOUGHT A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE PCU, NOW THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE TIPM, WIRING HARNESS'S, ETC. AT A COST OF $2500.00. DODGE ACCORDING THE RECALLS I HAVE SEEN WERE PUTTING FAULTY TIPM IN ALL DODGE MODELS BETWEEN 2004 AND 2012, I AM DISABLED VETERAN I CANNOT AFFORD $2500.00

2011 DODGE RAM 1500 STALLED AT INTERSECTION, AND STALLED ON BUSY FREEWAY 198 IN THE FOG, I HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED, NOW WE FIND OUT THAT IT IS ELECTRICAL AND THE CAUSE IS A FAULTY TIPM THE COST OF REPLACE 1500 DOLLARS.

DRIVERS SIDE HEAD LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WILL RANDOMLY COME BACK ON. AFTER REPLACING BULBS & ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT ISSUE CONTINUES. FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) SEEMS TO BE TO BLAME.

FUEL PUMP KEEPS RUNNING AFTER VEHICLE IS OFF AND KEY OUT OF IGNITION, DRAINING BATTERY. HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY, OR PULL FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE TO STOP FUEL PUMP FROM BURNING OUT. WAS TOLD IT WAS TIPM UNIT, THE SAME UNIT UNIT THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER FCA/CHRYSLER VEHICLES, BUT NOT ON RAMS.

I HAVE A 2011 RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. THE TIPM STARTED FAULTING AND NOT LETTING THE FUEL PUMP RUN AND START THE CAR. THEN IT STOPPED THE TRAILER/TOW LIGHTS CONNECTION IN THE REAR NOT WORKING WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWING A TRAILER. THE ANTI-SLIP WAS ACTIVATED ALL THE TIME AND IT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLES RADIO AND BACK UP CAMERA.

FUEL PUMP RELAY IS FAULTY IN THE TIPM

VEHICLE WILL NOT START NOT GETTING FUEL, REMOTE START WON'T WORK.THE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE NO-START OFTEN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AND PROGRESSIVELY GET WORSE. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO A RECALL FOR FAULTY FUEL RELAYS THAT ARE VERY COMMON IN 2011-2013 VEHICLES, LIKE THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGOS BUT THEY WERE THE ONLY VEHICLES RECALLED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SOMETIMES DAYS APART OR MULTIPLE TIMES THE SAME DAY. I AN DATING THIS TODAY BUT HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE DECEMBER 2018 IF NOT LONGER.

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS SAME YEAR BUT NOT ONE ISSUED FOR THE RAM YET. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM WHICH WAS RECALLED ON THE JEEPS AND GRAND CARAVANS. THE TRUCK TRIES TO START BUT ISNT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL SO THERE IS A DELAY AND SEVERAL DRY STARTS ALSO THE TRUCK DIED THE OTHER DAY ON ME IN TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE THE TRUCK PARKED AT HOME RIGHT NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT. CALLED DODGE DIRECTLY AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING AND THEY CANT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEVE JONES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (2612 TN-46, DICKSON, TN 37055, (615) 326-1234) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, WHICH CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

VEHICLE MOTOR STOPS RUNNING DURING DRIVING ALL POWER IS LOST, HAD HAPPENED MORE THAN 3 TIMES OVER TIME AND STARTING TO DO IT MORE OFTEN VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING IT.

THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESNT WORK FOR THE KEY FOB AND THE TRUCK WONT START UNLESS THE ALARM GOES OFF THEN A BUNCH OF SENSORS GO OFF AND BEEPS AND WHEN PLUGGED IN SAYS A SENSOR ISSUE BUT THEN THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT ACCORDING TO DODGE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS.

TIPM MODULE FAILED, CAUSES ENGINE TO STALL DUE TO FUEL PUMP CONTINUOUSLY DRAWING POWER. ENGINE CAN STALL WHILE IN MOTION, SHUTTING VEHICLE OFF. VERY UNSAFE. SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH OTHER SIMILAR YEAR DODGE/CHRYSLER MODELS. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS WON RELATING TO SIMILAR ISSUES ON THOSE OTHER MODELS. TIPM LAWSUIT: HTTPS://WWW.CLASSLAWGROUP.COM/CHRYSLER-TOTALLY-INTEGRATED-POWER-MODULE-TIPM-LAWSUIT/ THE RAM 1500 WAS PETITIONED TO BE INCLUDED IN THIS LAWSUIT, BUT THE PETITION WAS DENIED.

MY TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE MY FUEL PUMP IS STILL ON WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF AND NORMALLY IT TURNS OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT LATELY IT'S BEEN STAYING ON AND DRAINING MY BATTERY. ALSO, MY WINDOWS ROLL DOWN RANDOMLY AND THE HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY AS WELL WHEN THE TRUCK IS ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE TIPM FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT SAYS THE AIR BAGS CAN GO OFF AT ANY TIME AS WELL. HOPEFULLY, YALL DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE TIPM DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WITHOUT CAUSE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. (RECALL ON TIPM) RESEARCH BELOW: TYPICAL SYMPTOMS OF A TIPM FAILURE THE FUEL PUMP NOT TURNING OFF AND BURNING OUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING OR DEPLOYING RANDOMLY THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING THE STARTER...

TRUCK WONT START .. ALL OTHER CHRYSLER AND JEEP AND DODGES IN 2011 MODELS HAD A RELAY REPAIR RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THE 2011 RAM 1500 DIS NOT YET THEY ALL USE THE SAME TIPM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ELKINS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1434 BEVERLY PIKE, ELKINS, WV 26241, (304) 636-2243) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE BURNED AND CAUSED THE FUEL PUMP TO MALFUNCTION. THE DEALER STATED THAT A NEW FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

I WAS JUST INFORMED BY MY REPAIR SHOP THAT MY TRUCK REQUIRES A NEW TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THIS PART COSTS $1300. IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REGULATING POWER TO MANY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE FUEL PUMP. ACCORDING TO MANY ONLINE SOURCES CHRYSLER VEHICLES FROM CERTAIN YEARS, ESPECIALLY 2011, ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FAULTY TIPMS AND THAT THE PROBLEM CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS RANGING FROM ANNOYANCES TO LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENTS. MY SPECIFIC PROBLEM OCCURS BOTH WHEN I AM ATTEMPTING TO START IT AND WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. I AM UNABLE TO PURCHASE THE NECESSARY REPAIR DUE TO THE EXTREME COST OF THE PART. THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THIS PART MAKES THIS PROBLEM EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WOULD NOT START ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. AN UNKNOWN DODGE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE (TIPM -7) FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AS THE SOURCE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 112,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN YOU START THE TRUCK, THE ASB LIGHT COMES ON. THE WIPERS, A/C, HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, AND POWER LOCKS WILL NOT WORK. IF YOU LET THE TRUCK RUN FOR ABOUT 5 MINS, YOU HEAR A 'DING' AND EVERYTHING STARTS WORKING AGAIN AND THE ASB LIGHT GOES OUT. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICAL BUT THIS IS AN ISSUE IF IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE OR AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WINDOWS FAILED TO STAY UP AND ALL THE DOORS FAILED TO REMAIN LOCKED, WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY. ALSO, WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. ONCE RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND A RED THUNDERBOLT WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BENCHMARK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 1313 GRANTS MILL WAY, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35210, (205) 957-1313) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AND FUEL PUMP RELAY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HAS NO FUEL. MOSTLY CRANK NO START, BUT ONCE STALLED WHILE DRIVING CREATING DANGEROUS CONDITION WHILE DRIVING. TESTED FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND FOUND FUEL PUMP INTERMITTENTLY NOT GETTING ELECTRICAL POWER. FAILED RELAY ON TIPM.

TRUCK WILL NOT START, IT ACTS AS IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FUEL. A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.

THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FAN SYSTEM, BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ECO SYSTEM SHUTS OFF. AFTER A DAY OR 2 FROM RAIN, THE SYSTEM WORKS PROPERLY AGAIN. IT CAN SO SOMETIMES BYPASS THE ISSUE BY PULLING THE BATTERY AND RE-INSTALLING IT. THE SEATS ALSO WEAR DOWN TO THE POINT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER JUST 20K MILES

I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP CONSTANTLY RUNNING HOURS AFTER THE IGNITION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY TWICE NOW AND IS TRUCK IS SOMETIMES HARD TO CRANK. I CAN FEEL THE TRUCK LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROADS AND THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET LOST POWER COMPLETELY I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING.

FUEL PUMP RELAY WILL NOT ENGAGE AT TIMES. TURNING THE IGNITION KEY SEVERAL TIMES SOLVES ISSUE. FUEL PUMP RELAY WILL NO LONG SHUT OFF THE FUEL PUMP AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO PUMP UNTIL BATTERY IS DRAINED. POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERNS INCLUDE OVER HEATING OF FUEL PUMP CAUSING A SHORT SHORT IN THE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY LEAD TO THE GAS TANK EXPLODING. VOLTAGE TEST WERE COMPLETED TO VERIFY RELAY IS THE ISSUE. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THE SAME ISSUES WERE PRESENT IN THE 2011 GRAND CARAVANS AND GRAND CHEROKEES, WHICH WHERE RECALLED, RUNNING THE SAME TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AS MINE AND SEVERAL OTHERS WAS ADDRESS BUT NOT THE OTHER MODELS.

TRUCK HAS A DEAD SHORT IN THE TIPM. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY POST EVERYTIME I STOP. ENGINE WILL CRANK AND TURN OVER BUT OFTEN WILL NOT START. WHEN IT DOES START IT SOMETMES DIES OUT AND/OR HESITATES WHILE DRIVING CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL? THE SAME PART ALREADY HAS A RECALL FOR JEEP AND CHRYSLER. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? 119,000 MILES ON A VERY WELL MAINTAINED TRUCK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY START AFTER THE IGNITION WAS SWITCHED TO THE ON POSITION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUSQUEHANNA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (950 HELLAM ST, WRIGHTSVILLE, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TRUCK WON'T START AFTER SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME 5-6 HOURS, THEN IT STARTS.POWER WINDOW & LOCKS, VISOR LIGHTS, TRACTION CONTROL, REAR BRAKE LIGHT, TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING LIGHT, ALL WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. AC OUTLET HAS NEVER WORKED, KEY PULLED OUT OF IGNITION WITH TRUCK STAYING RUNNING, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION WON'T RELEASE, BIG THING IS TRUCK SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING, NOW WERE AFRAID OF DRIVING IT. DEALER LOOKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES TO BLAME OUR STEREO IN IT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING IT HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS GOING TO TAKE FOR A RECALL, SOMEONE GETTING KILLED? CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED IT IN THE DODGE DURANGO, JEEP CHEROKEE AND OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT RAM 1500, COST 1000- 3000 FROM DEALER WHO IS THE ONLY ONE TO FIX ? IT THE TIPM MOTHER BOARD THAT CONTROLS EVERYTHING AND I'M NOT EVEN A MECHANIC PLEASE HELP THIS HAS BEEN ON...

THE KEY IS VERY LOOSE IN IGNITION SHUTS OFF OUT OF NO WHERE I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND STATES THAT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANT OR RECALL THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN

THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM-7) FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND DIFFICULTY WITH RESTARTING. THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR A FEW WEEKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF, THE DOORS TO UNLOCK, THE POWER WINDOWS TO ROLL DOWN, AND THE FUEL PUMP TO CONTINUE RUNNING WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TRISTAR MOTORS SOMERSET (1260 N CENTER AVE, SOMERSET, PA 15501), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,000.

STARTED FIRST ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I LOST POWER. I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON THE TRUCK AND THEN ON IT'S ON IT LOST POWER AND WENT DOWN TO 60 MPH. SINCE THEN I HAVE GOTTEN AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT MALFUNCTION THAT'S BLINKING ON MY DASH BOARD, ALSO THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY REPLACED MY FUEL TANK, BECAUSE I WOULD HEAR THE FUEL TANK STILL WORKING WHEN MY ENGINE WAS OFF. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT MY FUEL INJECTORS AND/OR MY FUSE BOX MAY BE GOING BAD BECAUSE OF THIS.

THE WIN MODULE FAILED. AKA WIRELESS IGNITION NOD. FROM MY RESEARCH IT A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS CAUSE BY FAULTY SOLDERING INSIDE OF THE MODULE. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY RISK DUE TO THE FIRE HAZARD. THE TRUCK WON'T START UNDER COLD CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WIN MODULE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION TO START. I HAVE A REMOTE STARTER INSTALLED AND CAN BYPASS THE ISSUE BY USING THE REMOTE START TO START THE TRUCK AND THEN HAVE THE CAR IN THE IGNITION TO KEEP THE TRUCK RUNNING. ONCE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WARMS UP AND THE MODULE IS WARMED UP IT WORKS LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WILL ALSO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF IF THE HEAT ISN'T ON IT THE TRUCK WHEN IT'S COLD OUT

THE TRUCK STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES STARTING, WHEN I WOULD TURN THE KEY OFF AND ON NUMEROUS TIMES, IT THEN WOULD KICK THE FUEL PUMP IN AND THEN START. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND WORSE. ONCE THE TRUCK STARTED THEN IT RAN FINE. IT THEN STARTED TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP WITH THE KEY OFF AND NOT RUNNING.

THE TIPM IS MALFUNCTIONING. THE TRUCK STARTS BY ITSELF WHILE PARKED, LIGHTS MALFUNCTION, WINDOWS GO DOWN BY ITSELF, NEW HEADLAMPS GO OUT. WE ARE AFRAID TO PARK IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE IT COULD START AND RUN WHILE WE SLEEP. EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD.

MY TRUCK FAILS TO START RANDOMLY, IT JUST CRANKS. THE HORN WILL RANDOMLY GO OFF BY ITSELF, AND IT HAS STALLED ON ME TWICE WHILE DRIVING. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THE TIPM IS BAD. OTHER 2011 CHRYSLER VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME ISSUES, AND HAVE HAD A RECALL.

2 YEARS AGO HAD TO REPLACE THE TIPM ON MY TRUCK AND NOE ITS STARTING TO MESS UP AGAIN. TRUCKS JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING NO WARNING. IT JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. IT COST ME 1500.00 TO REPAIR
