Filed Apr 12, 2020 · Electrical, Engine · TX

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.

Check engine light came on with code for cylinder misfire. Did research online what problem might be and seen thousands of complaints with exact same issue. Took it to mechanic and he said lifter failure. Rollers seized up and took lobe off cam. This is the exact same thing I seen on thousands of other complaints online.

2009 dodge ram 1500, 5.7 hemi, 74000 miles. Developed ticking in the engine at idle and acceleration. Within a couple days engine light came on with shuddering under small load (up hill highway). Took to the local dealership that day. They discovered that the roller lifter failed (seized) and ground the cam lobe flat causing the misfire in one of the cylinders. $4300 repair bill! This is very common in the 5.7 hemi and not just the ram, so common in fact that the dealership called and said the repair is on hold because the lifters are on backorder! Google "failed 5.7 hemi lifters"... Some vehicles don't make it 25000 miles before this happens. Chrysler has since changed the part number of the lifter because they know there was a defect or design flaw. But when you ask for assistance with the repairs they don't acknowledge there is a problem. This issue needs to be investigated, there are too many of them out there.
