2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Engine Problems

FIRST I NOTICED A TICK IN THE ENGINE WHEN STARTING IT COLD. TURNED OUT TO BE BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD STUDS AND CRACKED MANIFOLDS ON BOTH SIDES. PASSENGER SIDE WAS WORSE. WAS REPLACED WITH GRADE 8 BOLTS AND NEW MANIFOLDS AND GASKETS. NOW I HAVE A DIAGNOSED LIFTER FAILURE AT 58,000 MILES AND IT IS ONLY GETTING LOUDER. IT HONESTLY SOUNDS LIKE A SPUN CAM SEAL AND FLAT LIFTER IN MY EXPERIENCE. DODGE WILL NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM AS I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE OUT OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. MANY MORE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE WITH LIFTER FAILURE. IT IS KNOCKING HARD. THIS IS THE DESCRIBED "HEMI" TICK. THE CAMSHAFTS AND LIFTERS ARE LOW GRADE MATERIAL IN THIS MODEL. I HAVE REPORTS OF DIAGNOSIS IF NEEDED.

THE TRUCK TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. DUE TO THE IGNITION SWITCH. LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DURING NIGHT OR DAY. SMALL BUMPS IN THE ROAD CAUSE A SHORT. MY TRUCK ISN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT DOES IT I SPOKE TO OTHER DODGE OWNERS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM

ROCKING NOISE AT IDLE AND WHEN DRIVING DOESN'T GO AWAY WHEN WARMED UP

MY TRUCK WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START SOMETIMES AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE. I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN FROM THE HUMIDITY. IT WILL CRANK AND NOT START A COUPLE OF TIMES MORE OFTEN NOW. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY SOMETIMES, IT WILL SPUTTER FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS. I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN FROM HAVING A LITTLE WATER IN THE GASOLINE FROM THE ETHANOL. I'VE BEEN USING FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND SEAFOAM EVERY SO OFTEN SINCE 2014. THE TRUCK IS 6 YEARS OLD. I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT HOW OTHERS HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP RELAY GOING BAD ON THE SAME YEAR MODEL VEHICLE AND OTHER MAKE/MODELS BY DODGE.

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TODAY, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT BEEPED ONCE AND THE ENGINE DIED. LUCKILY WE COASTED TO THE SIDE, THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK, WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN. STARTED WOULD ENGAGE. SOUNDS LIKE TIPM TROUBLE. SPENTS $200 BEING TOWED HOME 75 MILES

THE MANIFOLD STUD BOLTS ARE BREAKING OFF IN THE HEAD MOST COMMONLY WITH 7 AND 8 CYLINDER...CAUSE A HORRUBLE EXHAUST LEAK AND CAUSING THE MANIFOLD TO WORP AND CRACK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE STALLED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. ALSO, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO FUNCTION AGAIN AND THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (ACADEMY CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 5080 ACADEMY LN, BESSEMER, AL 35022, (205) 545-8052) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000.

"TAKATA RECALL " FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2015. 2ND DAY I HAD IT ALMOST COUGHT ON FIRE 78000 MILES SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BATTERY. 2017 99000 MILES LIFTERS ARE TICKING AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO START IT FREAKS OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE IF YOU TRY AND START IT ALL THE LIGHTS FLASH THEN IT'S GOOD FOR A MONTH

MY ENGINE HAS 99, 800 MILES AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE DODGE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME THAT MY CAM SHAFT AND MY LIFTER WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACING. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY PRE-MATURE FAILURE.

AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER UNDER DASH WENT OUT AT ABOUT 85,000 MILES. AT 105,000 MILES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT SHOPS AND ALL 3 FOUND NUMBER 5 CYLINDER OF MY 5.7 CYLINDER ENGINE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. AFTER DEEPER INVESTIGATION IT TURNED OUT TO BE A WORN CAMSHAFT LOBE. ALL OIL CHANGES WERE DONE AT PROPER INTERVALS AND USED SYNTHETIC OILS. MECHANIC SAID IT WAS COMMON WITH THE 5.7 ENGINE.

ENGINE GOING DEAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE CAR IS MOVING THEREFORE STEERING IS LOCKED. HAS ,HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE @ 70 MPH, CITY STREET @ 30 - 40 MPH AND COUNTY ROAD @ APPX 10 MPH. LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NO RECALL NOTIFICATION NOR CAN THEY IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. WE CANNOT FIND RECALL NOTIFICATION ON THIS WEBSITE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STALLING AND DECELERATION WHILE BEING OPERATED AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT NOTICED FLUID ON THE ENGINE AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE CHECK ENGINE, COOLANT, AND SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED. AS A RESULT, THE ENGINE WIRING MELTED. THE ROOT CAUSE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,669.

THE TRUCK BURNS THROUGH OIL AT A HIGH RATE AND AFTER IT DOES THEIR IS NO LOW OIL LIGHT BEING TURNED ON BY THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK RAN HOT AND MADE THE CAM POSITION SENSOR FAIL. I AM AFRAID IT WILL BURN EVEN MORE AND CAUSE PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AND SENSOR FAILURE WHICH IS NOT COVER BY WARRANTIES. THE LAST TIME IN A MONTH IT BURNED THROUGH 4 QUARTS, THE DEALER SAID IF THEY DO NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG THEY WOULD CHARGE ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. I HAVE HAD MANY OLD DODGE TRUCKS AND EVEN A 2007 RAM WHICH ALWAYS HAD OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND THAT NEVER BURNED THROUGH SO MUCH OIL. THIS HAPPENS AS I DRIVE AND NEVER ONCE DOES IT SAY LOW OIL, THE ONLY REASON I FIGURED IT OUT IS I AM MECHANICALLY INCLINE AND OBSERVED THE OIL PRESSURE DROP DOWN TO 14PS ON THE TRUCKS...

MY TRUCK STARTED OUT WITH A DEAD BATTERY WHICH I REPLACED AND IT STARTED IN 9/16. AROUND 12/17/16 I WAS PARKED IN MY TRUCK TALKING TO MY NEIGHBOR WHEN I DECIDED TO TURNOFF TRUCK AND GET OUT OF TRUCK. I TURNED THE KEYFOB TO OFF POSITION ONLY TO HAVE IT STAY RUNNING, I THAN TURNED KEYFOB BACK TO ON POSITION THAN BACK OFF WHERE IT SHUT OFF. I PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY SAME DAY AND THAN THE KEYFOB STUCK IN OFF POSITION WITH TRUCK STILL RUNNING. MY HUSBAND GO IN IT AND STARTED TO FOOL AROUND WITH IT PUTTING IT INTO NEUTRAL THAN PARK THAN REVERSE AND IT FINALLY CAME OUT. 1/11/ 17 I STARTED TRUCK NOTICED TIPM LIGHT ON AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON. I PULLED OUT OF DRIVEWAY THE TIPM LIGHT WENT OUT BUT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STAYED ON THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME I WAS DRIVING IT. THEN...

SUFFERING FROM A VERY COMMON ISSUE OF EXHAUST MANIFOLD WARPAGE CAUSING LEAKS AND BROKEN BOLTS. THE LEAKS ARE ALLOWING EXHAUST TO ENTER THE PASSENGER CABIN WHICH IS CAUSING HEADACHES AND SLEEPINESS WHILE DRIVING. *TR

I HAVE A 5.7 HEMI. IT HAS A BAD TICKING SOUND ON BOTH SIDES AND IS MISFIRING ON #8 CYLINDER. I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT AND AFTER RESEARCHING ABOUT IT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 5.7 HEMI. I CAN'T FIND A RECALL ON IT AND I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. I THINK THE DODGE PLACE SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE SINCE IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH IT. THIS TICKING SOUND HAPPEN ANYTIME IT'S RUNNING.

THE ENGINE STALLS WHEN MAKE A TURN, ALL THE POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES QUIT. I HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE WAY OF OTHER VEHICLES. THIS GOING GET SOMEONE KILLED.

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT LOW SPEED, ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. DURING UP HILL CITY DRIVING, ENGINE WILL NOT MAINTAIN CONSTANT RPM OR SMOOTH ACCELERATION. IT TAKE APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES TO START THE VEHICLE. *TR

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND MY ENGINE DIED. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE AND MY TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE CRANKED, BUT WOULD NOT START. SOMEONE HELPED ME PUSH MY TRUCK OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANES (VERY RISKY FOR THEM AND FOR ME AS TRAFFIC WAS STILL MOVING, SWERVING AND CAUSING A BACK UP.) AFTER ABOUT TEN-FIFTEEN MINUTES, THE TRUCK STARTED AND I DROVE IT HOME. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND ON AND IT SEEMED OK. NEXT MORNING TRUCK WOULD NOT START, I SPRAYED STARTING FLUID IN AIR INTAKE AND IT TRIES TO START, SO I AM GUESSING FUEL PROBLEMS. TRUCK STARTED AFTER MUCH CRANKING, BUT DON'T TRUST IT, NOT SAFE TO GO ON FREEWAY AND CAUSE ANOTHER SCARY SITUATION. RESEARCH TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DID NOT SUFFER ANY LOSSES, BUT MAY HAVE CAUSED OTHER ACCIDENTS DUE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 93,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STALLING AND FAILURES WITH STARTING. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. UPDATE INSTALLED AND HAS NOT CORRECTED PROBLEM. MOST LIKELY HAS FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,000.. ..UPDATED 11/01/16 *BF THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE FUEL PUMP RELAY WAS FAULTY. THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM BY SUPPLYING POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP, USING AN ALTERNATIVE SOURCE. UPDATED 11/03/16.*JB

THE TIPM OUR DODGE TRUCK IS FAULTY. IT HAS ISSUES STARTING, THE LIGHTS WILL STOP WORKING, THE LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE OIL JUST DISAPPEARING, THE FUEL PUMP RELAY. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE AND SAW THAT SEVERAL VEHICLES UNDER CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE WITH FAULTY TIPM AND THERE WAS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT,BUT THE NHTSA FELT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH OF AN ISSUE WITH THE DODGE RAMS TO PUSH FOR A RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE PUSHED FOR A RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING IN A LOT OF RAMS AND THEY ARE PASSED THE WARRANTY AND WHEN YOU PURCHASE A NEW WARRANTY THIS ISSUE IS NOT COVERED. ALL EXPENSES ARE PAID OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER AND DODGE HAVE BEEN AWARE OF FOR YEARS. OUR DODGE RAM HAS BEEN AT THE SHOP...

TRUCK HAS INTERMITTENTLY STARTED OFF AN ON THE ENTIRE TIME I'VE OWNED IT (10 MONTHS). TRUCK DIED WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO COAST TO A STOP TRUCK NOW WONT START AT ALL I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY'VE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, WIRING HARNESS. SAME SYMPTOMS APPEAR AFTER BOTH "REPAIRS".

I HAVE A DODGE RAM 1500. A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC DOING ABOUT 60 MPH WHEN THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND THE TRUCK DIED! I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO COAST ACROSS 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND ONTO THE SHOULDER. AFTER DOING A QUICK SEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME ENGINE IN THE SAME YEAR BUT ONLY IF ITS IN A CHARGER, CHALLENGER OR A 300(THE RECALL IS CALLED CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION P01, SEE ATTACHED) . THE FAILURE I EXPERIENCED IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS WHAT HAPPENS IN THE CARS. I WAS DOING HIGHWAY SPEED IN FUEL SAVING MODE AND WHEN THE ENGINE AUTOMATICALLY KICKS INTO 8 CYLINDER MODE THE TIMING CHAIN BRAKES. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THE ENGINE IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BECAUSE ITS IN A...

LIFTER FAILURE AND CYLINDER MISFIRE. LOUD ENGINE TICK WHICH IS CAUSED FROM FAILING LIFTER AND SPRING TO CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE CAM. COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEMI 5.7L. TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 47000 MILES AND JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. REPAIRS ARE COSTING $3800.00. TRUCK IS UNDRIVABLE FOR FEAR OF ENGINE PISTON BREAKING CYLINDER WALL.

TRUCK STARTED MAKING A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE A BEARING IN A PULLEY BROUGHT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP THERE DIAGNOSE WAS A VALVE SEAT GOING BAD AND IT IS COMMON IN 5.7 HEM I ENGINE WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE. HOW IS CHRYSLER HELPING TRUCK OWNERS REPAIR THIS FINANCIALLY SINCE IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM THAT WAS NOT TOLD TO RAM OWNERS WHEN THEY BUY THESE VEHICLES. ONLY HAS 129,000 MILES WITH A REPAIR COST 4,500.00 -5000.00 DOLLARS . THIS IS THE FIRST RAM I'VE EVER OWNED AND I REALLY DO EXPECT DODGE/ CHRYSLER TO HELP ME OUT WITH THIS ISSUE FINANCIALLY.THIS STARTED LAST WEEK WHEN I FIRST STARTED THE TRUCK IN THE MORNING AND IN 1 WEEK THE TICK TACK SOUND WENT FROM EVERY 2-6 SECONDS TO EVERY 2-3 SECONDS AND INCREASES WHEN IT WARMS UP.

WHILE DRIVING ON A 2 LANE ROAD AT 50 MPH APPROX SPEED, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF, BUT I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE TRUCK TO SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING, I PUT IT IN PARK, THE KEY WAS STILL IN ON POSITION; TURNED KEY AND ENGINE STARTED. I HAVE OWNED THIS TRUCK FOR 45 DAYS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AT TOTALLY RANDOM TIMES. I AM VERY FORTUNATE I WAS ON A ROAD WITHOUT MUCH TRAFFIC. HAD I BEEN IN A STEERING, PASSING OR OTHER SITUATION, I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT I LEARNED FROM INTERNET THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT COMPLAINT OF RAM OWNERS AND OTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT VEHICLE OWNERS, AND THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR CERTAIN CHRYSLER VEHICLES ALREADY. THE FAULTY PART WAS THE TIPM MODULE. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IN PROCESS INVOLVING OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING WARMED UP, AN ABNORMAL NOISE COULD BE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE WAS PERSISTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

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,...

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE RAM TRUCK IT WOULD SUDDENLY DIE, I WOULD NEED TO TURN THE IGNITION ALL THE WAY OFF AND IT WOULD RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. I WORKED FOR THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY FOUND NO STORED CODES IN THE ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. THIS OCCURRED ABOUT FIVE TIMES AND EACH TIME NOTHING WAS FOUND. IT STOPPED AND HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED IN ALMOST 20,000 MILES. IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER OF THIS YEAR THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY WENT INTO A HIGH ENGINE REV FOR NO APPARENT REASON (LIKE I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL BUT I WAS NOT). EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ACCELLERATE AND I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT NORMALLY. IT FUNCTIONED NORMALLY AFTER RESTART. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER IN JEFFERSON WISCONSIN WHO CHECKED FOR CODES AND FOUND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE PARKING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT FUMES OF SMOKE WERE COMING FROM THE HOOD. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THAT AN UNKNOWN HOSE WAS SPRAYING LIQUID ONTO THE SERPENTINE BELT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V475000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V530000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,885. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

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.

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.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AT POSTED HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN MY ENGINE SUDDENLY FAILED AND LOST ALL POWER. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO DRIFT TO THE SIDE OF INTERSTATE WITHOUT INCIDENT WHERE I CALLED A TOWING COMPANY TO BE PICKED UP. MY TRUCK HAS 130,000 MILES ON IT BUT HAS NEVER SHOWN ANY SIGN OF A PROBLEM. THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED REGULARLY AT 5000 MILE INTERVALS. MAJORITY OF MILEAGE WERE HIGHWAY MILES BETWEEN 70 - 75 MPH. NORMALLY, I WOULD CHALK THIS UP TO HIGH MILEAGE. HOWEVER, DURING THE SEARCH FOR ANY PROBLEMS WITH A 5.7 L HEMI ENGINE, I NOTICED THE FOLLOWING RECALL AND WAS CURIOS AS TO WHY MY RAM 1500 WAS NOT INCLUDED: THIS RECALL COVERS A SPECIFIC BUILD PERIOD. THE VEHICLES INVOLVED ARE 20092012 DODGE CHALLENGERS (LC), DODGE CHARGERS (LD) AND CHRYSLER 300S (LX) EQUIPPED WITH A 5.7L HEMI ENGINE (SALES CODE EZD OR EZH, WHICH ARE...

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.

VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE EXITING THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE. TIMING CHAIN BROKE DUE TO A FAILURE OF A PLASTIC CHAIN GUIDE CAUSING BENT VALVES AND CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. SIMILAR FAILURES TOOK PLACE IN THE CHALLENGER AND CHARGER MODELS CAUSING DODGE TO ISSUE A 50,000 UNIT RECALL ( HTTP://WWW.HOTROD.COM/NEWS/CHRYSLER-HEMI-TIMING-CHAIN-DEFECT/ ). *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.

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

WHILE PARKING, THE TRK ACCELERATED AND ALMOST HIT 3 CARS BEFORE STOPPING W BRAKES SLAMMED TO THE FLOOR. WE ARE ON VACATION ARE 7 HRS FROM HOME! *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN 30 BELOW 0 FAHRENHEIT WEATHER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AT 55 MPH. THERE WAS NO POWER AND ONCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW THE TRUCK IS REFUSING TO START OR EVEN POWER ON. THE KEY FOB WILL NOT START (MANUALLY OR BY THE BUTTON), UNLOCK, LOCK OR ACTIVATE THE PANIC SYSTEM. *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

TRUCK STALLS WHEN COMING TO A STOP. TRUCK STALLS WHENEVER SHIFTING FROM PARK INTO REVERSE DRIVE. RATTLING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER TRUCK. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED IT TO A DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER AND IS REPLACING IT AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING. LOST ALL POWER TO STEERING AND WAS LUCKY TO GET STOPPED WITH OUT GETTING HURT. IT STARTED RIGHT UP LIKE NORMAL. FEW DAYS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. JUST PLAIN SCARY. *TR

I WAS CHANGING MY SPARK PLUGS(UPPER BANK).1 OF THE BOOTS (THAT IS BETWEEN THE COIL & PLUG) PULLED LOOSE & STAYED ON THE SPARK PLUG.HAD TO DIG IT OUT IN PIECES.(THE BOOT WAS FLUSHED TO THE SPARK PLUG)NO AUTO PARTS STORES WITHIN 20 MILES EVEN STOCKED THE BOOT.WENT TO & CALLED SEVERAL DODGE DEALERS.THEY ONLY SELL THE BOOT WITH THE COIL(NOT JUST THE BOOT) $65.00.THIS IS TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR & UNACCEPTABLE. I STAYED AWAY FROM DODGES FOR YEARS BECAUSE OF THEIR BAD PRODUCTS.SEEMS NOTHING HAS CHANGED.VERY DISAPPOINTED. DODGE DROPS THE BALL AGAIN.NOT SATISFIED AT ALL.IF THESE PEOPLE MISS THINGS THIS SIMPLE WOW I DON'T EVEN WHAT TO GO THERE. *TR

I HAVE HAD PREVIOUS PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS WITH ENGINE AND ETC BOLT LIGHT ON DASH, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO GO IN LIMP MODE. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT THE TRUCK HAD TO BE RESET. ON SEPT 21/2012 THE ETC BOLT LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN CITY DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN I SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC USING THE BRAKE I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND BEFORE I COULD DO ANYTHING THE TRUCK RACED OFF ON ITS OWN ALMOST CAUSING A ACCIDENT WITHOUT EVER TOUCHING THE GAS, THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. I TURNED OFF KEY AND DANGEROUSLY COASTED TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND RE STARTED THE TRUCK. AT THIS POINT I HAD ONLY ENGINE LIGHT SO I TOOK IT TO DEALER. THEY REPLACED GAS PEDAL AND RESET IT. THE TRUCK ALWAYS SCARED ME AFTER THIS. I FEEL THAT...

AFTER HAVING THE GAS PEDAL REPLACED A FEW MONTHS LATER, NOW 4/11/2013 THE ETC BOLT LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AT CITY SPEEDS AS I SLOWED FOR TRAFFIC , WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE THE TRUCK SPEED UP VERY FAST WITHOUT EVER USING CRUISE CONTROL OR TOUCHING THE GAS. I ALMOST RAN A RED LIGHT, HAD TO SMASH THE BRAKE DOWN HOLDING STEERING WHEEL TIGHT TO STOP THE TRUCK AFTER TURNING KEY OFF. I THEN RESTARTED IT I PUT IT IN DRIVE. WHEN I LET OFF BRAKE THE TRUCK TOOK OFF LIKE HECK, ALMOST LIKE IT WAS FLOORED ON ITS OWN. THE CAR DEALER CALLED THE FOR ADVICE ON THIS ONGOING PROBLEM. THEY THEN REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS THE DEALERS FAULT, I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT IN THE WIRELESS DRIVE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY BUILDER AND RECALLED. *TR

AFTER A COUPLE REPAIRS ON SAME PROBLEM, I WAS DRIVING TO GO SHOPPING WHEN ETC BOLT LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS LETTING OFF GAS TO SLOW DOWN SO I COULD TRY SHUTTING TRUCK OFF TO RESET COMPUTER SO I COULD GET IT TO DEALER. WHEN I LET OFF GAS THE TRUCK WAS ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN SO I HELD BRAKE DOWN AND LET UP ON BRAKE TO INCH FORWARD TO GET ALL THE WAY OFF ROAD WHEN IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN LIKE IT WAS FLOORED. I STOPPED AND PUT IT IN PARK. IN PARK THE ENGINE WAS RACING AT 3000 RPM. THIS IS A DANGEROUS FAULTY SYSTEM.I HAD TAKEN IT TO DEALER AND THEY RESET IT SAYING WHEN THEY CALLED FACTORY THEY WERE TOLD TO RESET IT. IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN MAY BE WIRE HARNESS. I HAVE TAKEN TIME TO FILE THESE COMPLAINTS AS I...

AFTER PASSING A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TRUCK SHUT DOWN.THE ENGINE CUT OFF ,DASH LIGHTS AND PARK LIGHT STARTED TO FLICKER ERRATICALLY AND THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF. I MANAGED TO PULL THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IN ORDER TO STOP THE LIGHTS FROM FLICKERING I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY (THEY FLICKERED WITH THE SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION). AS THE LIGHTS FLICKERED I COULD HEAR RELAYS CLICKING UNDER THE HOOD AND DASH. AFTER WAITING A WHILE I RECONNECTED THE BATTERY AND ALL SYSTEMS CAME BACK ON AND I WAS ABLE TO START THE TRUCK AND DRIVE IT HOME. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHECK IT OUT UNTIL WED THE 18. ALL SYSTEMS SEEM TO BE NORMAL. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK . I' M DRIVING IT 60 MILES ROUND TRIP EVERYDAY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK STALLED OUT WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I GOT IT RESTARTED AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BUT THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO STALL UPON PUTTING IT IN GEAR. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND RENT A CAR FROM HERTZ. THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD THE TRUCK NOW FOR 4 DAYS AND STILL CAN NOT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS TRUCK HAS A 5.7-LITER V8 HEMI ENGINE. *TR
