2011 Dodge RAM 1500 electrical complaints
Page 6 of 8: complaints 131 to 160 of 214, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My information and a short story follows: if it were not for the quick thinking and fast reflexes of my wife, when the truck stopped running at 60 miles per hour on a major freeway, we would have been in a catastrophic accident. As it turned out she was able to steer the truck to the emergency lane which was no simple feat considering there was no power steering and no power brakes. I took my truck into my dealer when we got home and it took them 6 days to diagnose the problem. After the diagnoses it took another 2 days to get the part and to install it. All I want is to be reimbursed for the cost of the tipm module and the installation fee. The receipt and itemized work list are attached to this email.
Truck wont start,or shuts down completely while driving, mechanic says fuel pressure problem.
I was having problems starting my truck, so I jumped it with a booster pack and it started right up. I put a new battery in and worked for a couple of days and then it began having problems starting again. I took it to a dodge dealer and they found a flash for wcm that states fixes intermittent start issue and reprogrammed wcm. It worked for a couple of days and then again began having issues starting again. I read online that if I shift into neutral and then try starting it will work. This seems to work but it is annoying and I am worried it will leave me stranded or worse cause an accident.

Tipm module, fuel pump relay and other malfuntions
The engine seems to crank but not start. The vehicle sounds a lot like this and fully fully and charged. In the next days we will test the fuel relay but it seems to not be delivering fuel correctly to the engine system. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlfjfb4hsn0

9-16-16: vehicle lost all power and had to be "jumped". 9-17-16: new battery installed but later in the day, starting problems went on. 9-19-16: vehicle taken to dealer; initial problem identified as needing new fuel pump and plugs. Later, this was then identified as having a faulty "tipm" and that cost would be over $2000.00 (that included a new fuel pump. Internet research shows that the manufacturer has apparently been aware of this problem but will not take action to issue a recall. In reality, did we buy a vehicle which the manufacturer knew to contain defective parts? Parts, which in reality, cause safety issues? Shame on them! I thought that I had a quality vehicle. I paid over $45,000 for this truck and it was build with this defective part? Help me out here and help out thousands of others who are just waiting for the same thing to happen.

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 federal safety agency 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 several times with issues and they did not tell us once about the tipm issues. We had to figure it out ourselves with internet research. A customer should not be paying close to or over $2,000 out of pocket to fix an issue that the manufacturing company new was a defect or faulty. Several million dodge ram owners have had this issue over the years and have reported it according to the publication of the federal safety agency. I don't understand why customers are being punished to protect the manufacturer's mistakes. Our dodge has spent more time in the shop in the past year then with us. We have only owned the vehicle for two years.
Vehicle cranks but doe not start, especially in the mornings. Dealer installed an external fuel pump relay, hopefully it will solve the issue.
2011 ram 1500 sport with tipm-7. Vehicle started having problem starting, I took it to a repair shop and it was diagnosed as a loss in fuel pressure. Replaced fuel pump. Did not fix problem. After research found out this truck has tipm-7. Repair shop verified this. The injectors were checked and were fine. Engine runs perfectly after start. Diagnosis faulty fuel pump relay. The same fuel pump relay that chrysler recalled 230,000 vehicles in 2014 and an additional 467,000 vehicles in 2015. Why won't chrysler fix their screw ups?
Tipm truck wont start because of this.. Power windows had been acting up.. Now find out air bags may not deploy if get in accident.. Really? This isnt a recall?
At first the vehicle was not starting immediately when turning the key, then I heard a buzzing sound coming from the fuel tank my husband had to disconnect the battery for it to stop. We took it in to the service dept at a dodge dealer and at the time they could not verify problem. I was told to continue to drive it and note when it happens again. I drove it a few more times and while driving the vehicle would die more frequently with the on hills, from a stop sign, and on straight aways, once the steering froze. There were few days of the vehicle not starting at all. A vehicle owner should not be afraid to drive their truck, which I am. A month later I took it back to the service dept and they heard the buzzing sound and then was able to verify that it was the tipm . I have noticed other owners have been experiencing the same problem. Here I have a vehicle, mind you which I just purchased less than 3 months ago and I am having these major issues. But the worst part is it will cost $1600.00 to repair and my extended warranty will not cover it. I think this problem should be addressed and a recall should be issued for this problem. No one should pay out of pocket for this especially if it could result in bodily harm or death. Someone seriously needs to look into this problem.

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.
