2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Electrical System Problems

TIPM (FUEL PUMP RELAY) DOES NOT LET THE TRUCK START. ITS NOT ALL THE TIME MOSTLY IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE BEEN STUCK OUT WITH THE TRUCK NOT STARTING. DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. 1500 TO GET IT REPAIRED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE LED COURTESY MIRROR LIGHTS DON'T WORK ALL THE TIME. EVIDENCE OF MOISTURE ON LENSES.

DODGE TIPM RECALL MY VEHICLE FAILS TO START WHEN THE VEHICLE ARE COLD AFTER A FEW TRYS IT FINALLY CRANKS ITS CAUSES ENGINE STALLS AND THE DRAINING OF MY BATTERY BY FAILING TO CRANK IT STALLED IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT ITS DANGEROUS ITS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY LIKE EVERY DAY SINCE 1/20/2016.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IN COLD WEATHER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. IN ADDITION, THE RADIO VOLUME FLUCTUATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED. THE TIPM WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

I REPLACED A FUEL PUMP, THEN A BATTERY, BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 RAM 1500. COME TO FIND OUT IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIPM MODULE THAT IS NOW ON RECALL FOR SEVERAL OTHER MODELS OF DODGE VEHICLES. MY TIPM IS THE SAME ONES ON RECALL EXCEPT NOT ON THE RAM 1500. IT HAS COST ME $1,300.00. NOT THEY WANT $1,200.00 MORE. ADD ME TO ANY COMPLAINT AND RECALL REPAIRS YOU MAY HAVE.

TRUCK FAILS TO START AND/OR THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES PUMPING AFTER TRUCK IS SHUT OFF, DRAINING THE BATTERY. THERE IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPM.

2011 RAM 1500 TIPM ISSUE. RAM 1500'S ARE NOT PART OF THE KNOWN RECALL FOR DURANGO AND GRAND CHEROKEE'S HOWEVER A QUICK SEARCH REVEALS THE SAME ISSUE THAT PLAGUES MY 2011 RAM 1500. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE QUIT RUNNING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. VEHICLE HAD POWER BUT WOULD NOT CRANK. PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY TIPM.

WE HAVE BEEN HAVING INCREASING PROBLEMS WITH DODGE RAM WILL NOT START SOMETIMES CAN TAKE 4 HOURS TO RESTART. IT TURNS OVER BUT FUEL PUMP IS NOT EGAGEING WINDOWS WILL SOMETIMES GO DOWN N THEN SOMETIMES ONLY CREEP UP AND DOWN ITS LIKE TRUCK HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. HAD IT TO BE FIXED A NUMBER OF TIMES TO BE TOTD ITS FIX WHEN ITS NOT ONLY NOT FIXED BUT PROBLEM IS GETTING INCREASINGLY WORSE. MY TRUCK IS A 2011 WITH 39000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WOULD NOT START. WHEN IT WOULD START, THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY 20-40 MINUTES TO START. THE FAILURE HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE FAILURE WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN AS THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

PICKUP WILL NOT START DUE TO THE IGNITION. I HAVE TO JIGGLE (BACK AND FORTH OR IN/OUT) THE KEY TO GET IT TO TURN OVER BUT WILL ONLY START 1 OUT OF 3 TIMES SEEMS LIKE ENGINE IS NOT GETTING ANY FUEL BUT CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP CYCLE ALSO ALERTS WILL RANDOMLY DISPLAY WHEN VEHICLE IS ON. TIRE INFLATION ALERT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME BUT ALL TIRES ARE AIRED UP TO SPECS ALSO SEVERAL OTHER ALERTS DISPLAY PART OF THE TIME.

AT FIRST MY TRUCK STARTED TAKING LONGER AND LONGER TO ACTUALLY START. IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT ONLY RUN AT 200 RPM AND DIE OUT. THIS PROBLEM WAS SPORADIC AND SEEMED TO BE WORSE AFTER THE TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN STARTED FOR 12 HOURS. EVENTUALLY THE PROBLEM WENT FROM OCCASIONAL TO WEEKLY AND DAILY. THERE WAS NO DASH LIGHTS INDICATION AN ISSUE. MY TRUCK STALLED TWICE ON ME WHILE DRIVING TO WORK . EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STALLED I WOULD SIT IN THE STREET, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME AND THAT I WAS NOT IN A TURN. WHEN THE VEHICLE DIED I WOULD LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO A MECHANIC. HE CHECKED IT AND SAW NO MAJOR ISSUES, STATING THAT ALL OF THE READINGS WERE NORMAL WHEN CHECKED. WE DECIDED TO CHANGE MY SPARK PLUGS AND FLUSH THE FUEL SYSTEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE THE...

FOR TWO WEEKS THE TRUCK TAKE 4 TO 7 TRIES TO START THE ENGINE. IT HAS SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. NOW THE FUEL PUMP IS STUCK ON WHILE THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE TRUCK KILLING THE BATTERY. HAD TO REMOVE THE FUEL PUMP FUSE TO TURN OFF THE FUEL PUMP WHILE THE KEY IS REMOVED FROM THE TRUCK.

IN A NUTSHELL,, MY TRUCK HAD ABOUT,,,14K MIKES ON IT. PURCHASED NEW. IT TOOK OFF IN EXESS OF 100MPH. COULDN'T STOP IT!!!!!!! ALMOST KILLED MY SON AND I!! HAVE BEEN FIGHTING, EVER SINCE TO GET CHRYSLER TO REPLACE THE MOTOR,, AS IT SOUNDS EVERY BEARING IN THE MOTOR,, WHEN I FINALLY PUT TRANSMISSION IN NEAUTRAL TO STOP THE TRUCK. TO DATE, THE TRUCK HAS A REARMAIN LEAK, BECAUSE OF INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE MOTOR. CHRYSLER, TRIED TO TAKE THE CHEAPER WAY OUT AND ONLY REPLACE A PART AT A TIME. IN DOING SO THIS,COST THEM WAY MORE $. MOTOR NO LONGER HAS A BEARING NOISE. BUT IT DOES HAVE A REARMAIN LEAK. THAT THEY HAVE TRIED TO REPAIR 3XS SO FAR!! NOW,,,,, I'M STILL WAITING TO SEE IF THEY WILL REPLACE THE MOTOR, OR TRY AGAIN??? LAST I KNEW THE GOSLDEN RULE WAS 3 XS AND URE OUT!!!! MY PATIENCE,...

IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY APARTMENT COMPLEX MY TRUCK WOULD TRY TO START, BUT DO NOTHING BUT CRANK. I THOUGHT MY FUEL PUMP WAS OUT SO I REPLACED IT. THE TRUCK WAS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING. I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES I WOULD HEAR THE FUEL PUMP COME ON AND SOMETIMES NOT SO $260 DOLLARS LATER I STILL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER DOING SOME ADDITIONAL RESEARCH AND ACTUAL TESTS I FOUND OUT THAT A RELAY ON THE TIPM IS MALFUNCTIONING. IT IS AA $5 DOLLAR RELAY ON A $1200 DOLLAR PART THAT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRENTY AND CANNOT BE EASILY REPLACED. DODGE IS CURRENTLY UNDER SUIT FOR THE FAULTY TIPM'S.

FAILS TO START, FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING TRUCK TO STALL MULTIPLE TIMES ON CITY STREETS TO AND FROM WORK AND ON THE HIGHWAY 2X DRIVING TO VISIT RELATIVES, TIPM NOT SENDING SIGNAL TO THE FUEL RELAY, HAD 4 MECHANICS INCLUDING 2 CHRYSLER SERVICE SHOPS TO FINALLY DIAGNOSE THE TIPM FAILURE, WILL HAVE FURTHER DOCUMENTATION UPON REPLACEMENT OF TIPM FROM CHRYSLER DEALER.

THE VEHICLE HAS A BAD TIPM, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY DOES NOT WORK AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AT ALL NOW. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURED AS I MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE STUTTERED AND STALLED. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START THE VEHICLE. NOW IT WILL NOT START AT ALL.

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT NORMAL BRIGHTNESS (COMPARED TO ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN) AND INEFFECTIVE FOR NIGHT DRIVING. CRUISE CONTROL WORKS AND DISCONNECTS AT WILL. HORN SIGNALS AT WILL WITHOUT NOTICE AND EVEN WHEN VEHICLE IS OFF WITH KEYS REMOVED. CAUSES GREAT AND FRIGHTENING REACTION OF THIS DRIVER AS WELL AS THOSE AROUND ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE TIPM WAS NOT SENDING A SIGNAL TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000. .....UPDATED 02/10/16 *BF UPDATED 04/23/18*JB *CN

THE FUEL PUMP RELAY IS BAD. THE FUEL PUMP KEEPS RUNNING WHEN TRUCK IS SHUT OFF WHICH RUNS DOWN THE BATTERY. THE TIPM NEEDS REPLACED BUT THERE IS A BACKORDER ON THE PART.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STALLED AND IGNITION SYSTEMS WENT DEAD. HAD SEVERAL ISSUES DAYS PRIOR TO INCIDENT WHERE BATTERY WAS DEAD, STARTING VEHICLE PROBLEMS AND STALLING REPEATEDLY. DEALER HAD TO RELPACE TIPM $1280.74. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NO CURRENT RECALLS ON THIS PART, CONTRARY TO ONLINE INFORMATION.

TIPM FAILED !!!!! WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT DOWN. WONT START.

THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS IT WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY WHERE IT WAS TROUBLESHOT FOR 8 HOURS. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A FAULT IN THE TIPM MODULE CAUSING INTERMITTANT POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP, HOWEVER, BEFORE A NEW TIPM COULD BE INSTALLED, THE FAULT SEEMED TO SELF-RESOLVE AND THE TRUCK ONCE AGAIN BEGAN TO WORK. NOW UNSURE IF/WHEN THE TIPM WILL ONCE AGAIN MISFIRE.

DIVING THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS ON A VERY DARK NIGHT AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING. THANK GOD MY TAIL LIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS STILL WORKED OR I MAY HAVE HAD SOMEONE RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. I WAS ALSO FORTUNATE TO HAVE A CAR STOP AND HELP. I FOLLOWED THIS GENTLEMAN THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS USING HIS HEAD LIGHTS AND SIMPLY FOCUSED ON HIS TAIL LIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING, I STARTED MY CAR AND BOTH LIGHTS WERE WORKING AGAIN WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING DONE. NOW I HAVE THE LEFT LIGHT THAT IS NOT WORKING AND SUSPECT THAT IT WILL ALSO COME BACK ON WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT MAY CAUSE SOME TO RUN OFF OF THE ROAD DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. PLEASE ASSIST.

THE TRUCK RANDOMLY WOULD NOT START SOMETIME REQUIRING A JUMP START. REPLACED BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ONLY AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH FIGURED OUT IT WAS THE TIPM.

THE VEHICLE'S TIPM SYSTEM STOPPED WORKED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. IT WAS REPAIRED AND THIS ISSUE HAS PLAGUED OTHER CHYSLER PRODUCTS. CHRYSLER REFUSED TO OFFER ASSISTANCE IN THE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING MY PICKUP TRUCK AT A SPEED OF 30-35 MPH, THE POWER TURNED OFF AND THE SPEED DECREASED AT A FAST RATE. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A BUSINESS TO TURN MY IGNITION TO "OFF" AND TURN MY VEHICLE BACK ON. I DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT IN MY VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS.

I HAVE A 2011 RAM 1500 BIG HORN 4X4 WITH THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR. PRIOR TO DATE MENTIONED I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TROUBLE STARTING IT. ON THE DATE SPECIFIED I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN MOTOR DIED AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THE MOTORISTS AROUND ME. I ALSO NEARLY AVOIDED AN OVERPASS AND ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK AND WAS TOLD WAS FUEL PUMP. I REFUSED SERVICE DUE TO EXCESSIVE COST TO REPLACE. I DID MY OWN TEST AND FOUND MY FUEL PUMP RELAY TO BE DEFECTIVE WITCH CANNOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE TIPM. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE

VEHICLE LOST POWER IN TRAFFIC, UNABLE TO USE HAZARD LIGHTS. TOWED TO MECHANIC INFORMED THE TIPM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS TIES IN WITH AN EARLIER REPAIR INVOLVING THE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING.

ELECTRICAL ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS MY TRUCK COMPLETLY SHUT OFF, I LOST POWER TO EVERYTHING, INCLUDING POWER STEERING. I HAD PREVIOUS HAD MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR PROBLEMS WITH MY FUEL PUMP STAYING ON AND LEARNED IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) WHICH CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND HAS RECALLS FOR SOME VEHICLES IN CERTIN STATES. THE SYMTOMS MY TRUCK IS HAVING IS THE SAME LISTED IN MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, IE. VEHICLES RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF, FUEL PUMP STAYING ON AND DRAINING THE BATTERIES, AIR BAGS RANDOMLY DEPLOYING. AFTER RESEARCHING MULTIPLE FOURMS AND WEBSITE I FOUND ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED DUE TO FAULTY PARTS AND EQUIPMENT.

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. IT USUALLY COMES BACK ON WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. NOW IT IS COMPLETELY OUT. A NEW BULB WAS ATTEMPTED BUT FAILED TO FIX THE ISSUE. ALSO THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM ACTIVATES AT RANDOM TIMES CAUSING THE HORN TO ACTIVATE AND VEHICLES LIGHTS TO ALL FLASH. ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THE ISSUES ARE GETTING WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT AFTER RESETTING THE KEY, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND THE WIN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO START THE VEHICLE AND THEN IT STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTEGRATED POWER CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

JUST TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP ON 2/17/15 DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DEAD AS A RESULT OF THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING ALL NIGHT. AAA CERTIFIED SHOP JUST INFORMED ME IT WOULD COST 1600.00 TO REPLACE THE TIPM AND PROGRAM IT FOR MY KEY ETC. THERE IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TIPM AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MODULE. THIS ISSUE IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO THE DURANGO/JEEP RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, AS WELL DESCRIBED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. *TR

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH PRIOR. DURING BOTH INSTANCES, I COASTED THROUGH THE TURN TO A STOP BUT HAD DIFFICULTLY STEERING AND BRAKING. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. I BELIEVE IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE A CRASH SITUATION. I HAVE RESEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND BULLETINS BUT FOUND NONE. I HAVE, HOWEVER, FOUND MANY ONLINE INTERNET COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR

TRUCK STALLS ABRUPTLY, HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OFF AND INSTRUMENTS ON DASHBOARD FLASH ON/OFF FOR UP TO 2 MINUTES. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF WAITING AND ATTEMPTS TO RESTART TRUCK, TRUCK FINALLY RESTARTS . *TR

TRUCK WILL NOT START. TECHNICIAN FOUND AN INTERNAL FAULT ON THE TIPM MODULE. WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A FAULT OF THE TIPM MODULE, IF THE TIPM MODULE FAILS (LOSS OF POWER TO FUEL PUMP), COULD LEAD TO A CRASH/LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

TRUCK WILL NOT START, STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC AND FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED. DIAGNOSED AS TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. DODGE RECALLED THE SAME PART ON THE 2011 DURANGO BUT NOT THE RAM PICK UP. *TR

WHILE ACCELERATING TO A NORMAL PACE ON A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE, WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. CLEARLY THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY IN LESS LUCKY CIRCUMSTANCES. AN ISSUE I BELIEVE IS RELATED PERTAINS TO THE HEADLIGHTS. THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHTS (HIGH AND LOW BEAMS) HAVE AT TIMES CUT OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. RECENTLY THEY DIED ALTOGETHER. MY DEALER DETERMINED THE BULBS WERE FINE, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

TRUCK WOULD NOT START, WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. NO WARNING LIGHTS (CHECK ENGINE) ETC. HAD TO TAKE IT TO LOCAL DEALER, DEALER CONTACTED ME NEXT DAY INFORMING ME IT WAS THE PINION WHATEVER THAT IS. COST OF REPAIRS IS OVER 1200 DOLLARS. FOUND OUT THAT THE PINION IS THE HI TECH NAME FOR THE FUSE BOX THAT'S UNDER THE HOOD. I ASKED TO SEE THE OLD PART AND THE PERSON AT THE PARTS COUNTER STATED THAT THEY CHANGED (3) THREE OF THEM TODAY,.. THAT'S VERY SAD TO HEAR FOR US DODGE OWNERS. *TR

3 YEAR OLD TIPM (FUSE BOX) JUST DECIDED TO STOP WORKING ON MY 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. TRUCK WOULD NOT START. STRANDED MY FAMILY OUT OF STATE. DEALERSHIP HAD TO ORDER A PART WHICH TOOK 3 BUSINESS DAYS TO SHIP TO DEALERSHIP FROM DENVER. COST US $1200 AND A CAR RENTAL. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT DODGE/CHRYSLER ARE IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ITEM, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. *TR

THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS GONE OUT IN MY VEHICLE AND I WAS ADVISED AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY IGNITION SWITCHES OUT FOR DELIVERY AND THERE WAS A 3 WEEK DELAY FOR GETTING IN THE PART. THIS TELLS ME THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PART. I AM NOW WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND HAVING TO GET A RENTAL CAR. *TR

INSERTING THE KEY FOB TURNS ON ALL ELECTRICAL WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY. AFTER THE ENGIN IS RUNNING, YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF WITH THE KEY. IT CONTINUES TO RUN WITH THE KEY REMOVED. *TR

MY TURN SIGNAL SWITCH DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE WHEN TURNING LEFT. I TURN IT DOWN TO SELECT THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND DOES NOT WORK AT ALL ANYMORE. *TR

THE WIRELESS IGNITION MODULE HAS BECOME DEFECTIVE. IT WILL NO LONGER HOLD THE KEY FOB IN PLACE ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THE KEY SIMPLY FALLS OUT BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO TURN OFF WHILE STILL IN GEAR NOW. ADDITIONALLY, SOMETIMES THE MODULE WILL NOT TURN, OR WILL NOT TURN COMPLETELY, WHEN THE KEY IS INSERTED AND YOU ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES IT WON'T TURN COMPLETELY TO THE OFF POSITION ONCE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. CHRYSLER SAFETY RECALL K08 ISSUED IN AUGUST 2010 ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES IN THE 2010 RAM TRUCKS BUT FOR SOME REASON IT DOES NOT COVER THE 2011 MODELS. DODGE HAS TOLD ME IT IS MY PROBLEM TO FIX AND NOT THEIR DEFECT. *TR

WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP IF YOU MOMENTARILY HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATE. WHEN YOU RELEASE THE BRAKE THE CAR BEGINS FORWARD THEN ALL WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND CAR SHUTS DOWN FROM 1 TO 10 SECONDS. IF YOU ARE PULLING INTO A BUSY ROAD WHERE YOU MIGHT MOMENTARILY SPIN THE ENGINE UP IN ORDER TO HAVE BETTER RESPONSE YOU ARE LEFT STUCK OUT IN THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. ALSO HAPPENS IF YOU ARE TOWING ON AN INCLINE AND YOU SPIN UP ENGINE BEFORE RELEASING FOOT BRAKE. YOU WOULD DO THIS IN ORDER TO NOT ROLL BACK. THEY SAID THE CODE SAYS YOU SHOULD NOT DRIVE WITH 2 FEAT. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD HAPPEN THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL. VERY DANGEROUS. HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THIS HAS OCCURRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO DECELERATE AND LOSE POWER. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE FUEL PUMP REMAINED RUNNING AND CAUSED POWER TO DRAIN FROM THE BATTERY. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER BUT NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DEFECTS WERE ALL DUE TO A FAULTY TPM (TOTALLY POWER MODULE) AND THE MODULE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.
