Cranks but don’t start at times. After doing lots of research I think the tipm is going out and will leave me stranded. Repair shop cannot find a problem
2011 Dodge RAM 1500 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Motor cranks but does not turn over. Try multiple times finally it will start. Jumped the fuel pump fuse in tipm to empty slot and it starts normal 50% of the time. Read many complaints of same type of problem and history of recall for other vehicles but not this model. Unacceptable. Slew of other electrical problems with this vehicle: radio changing stations and saving current station to multiple locations without touching screen, power window switches stop working unless unplugged then reconnected first, head/tail/back-up lights going out then back on

My truck has the same Fuse box assembly that several other dodge jeep vehicles have that the fuel pump relay shorts out while driving yet none of yalls recalls include my specific vehicle so that I can get my truck fixed under the multiple recalls yall have issued for this exact problem, dodge should be held liable for their mistakes not the consumers who are having to pay to fix the issue out of pocket simply because y'all didn't include our vehicles in the recall, my vehicle has shorted out many times almost causing us to nearly have multiple wrecks
1. Finding my truck with a dead battery, a lot. Found out that fuel pump is running constantly when truck is off. 2. Dead truck, no start. 3. Yes. 4. No. 5. None.
With no warning the TIPM malfunctioned leaving my truck in a crank with no start scenario and stranded. Then my starter died trying to resolve. Starter replaced and mechanic found the TIPM fuel relay corroded and malfunctioning. Chrysler dealers tell me no new TIPM is available as far as they can search across Canada and they have no ETA when they expect availability of the part. So now I can’t even repair the truck? Every other 2011 Chrysler / Jeep / Dodge had been recalled for the EXACT same part back in 2014-2015 investigation. Why was the 2011 Ram truck excluded from this recall??? A few searches online and it’s evident the majority of 2011 ram owners have run into this issue, and lots of reporting of it. So now I have a vehicle that has 0 parts available to fix (straight from multiple Chrysler dealers parts dept) and is pretty much only good to be used as a paper weight now and I have to look at buying another vehicle because this part isn’t even available? A Recall should be issued for the TIPM is 2011 ram and/or if this part is not available, fair market value buy back from Chrysler/FCA should be mandated, and they can buy back this paperweight of a truck I am now stuck with no solution to even get it repaired with new OEM parts.
The vehicle's fuel pump continues to run even when the vehicle is turned off causing the overheating of electrical wiring and draining the battery, it's a serious issue and a fire hazard that will set the fuel tank on fire, I filed a complaint back in June and no action has been taken.
Car would not start fuel pump was the root cause. The replacement of the fuel pump did not fix starting problem. The issue ended up being the fuse to the fuel pump was not getting power. The current fix is a wire jumper from the cigarette lighter fuse to fuel pump fuse.
Fule Pump continues running even when vehicle is turned off, leaking fuel, fire hazard, cruise control not functioning properly due to the issue,
There should be a recall on the problem I have had the same problem how can you guys cover the pump but not the electrical the most important part of the problem so stupid

In march/ 2020 my truck shut off 3xs going down the hwy with me and my kids in it . all without any warning. Upon the third event it caused my truck to began losing power to my headlights and tail lights and no hazards as well ? Which i thought was a very concerning matter especially at night... Very dangerous and it could have had one of us hurt or even killed . i payed 150 for a wrecker and hauled it to a mechanic that night . over the course of the next few days they checked it and no signs of the same thing recurring while at the shop . payed another 75 dollars amd drove truck for another couple months and then the same thing happening again . yet this time i was lucky enough to be just pulling out of my driveway . took to mechanic again paying a friend 75 to carry by tow dolly . only to be told nothing was wrong . its like my truck is possessed . later on the truck ended up shorting my fuel pump and my tipm costing me alot of money 1400 to replace the tipm. And 535 to replace the fuel pump . then 1 yr later again the security light on dash came on and bam it burnt my fuel pump up again , thus causing me to fork out another 535 plus a by pass relay harmess for 135. Luckily i have had no more issues out of the fuel pump . knock on wood ... But the truck still shoots the security light on and causes all my lights to stop working and puts me in harms way whenever the truck feels like acting up . this is ridiculous and dangerous bc might i add me and my family were in the vehicle in almost every instance that occured. And thats not safe . i thought highly of dodge but now im starting to wonder if its even safe to have me and my family. In this truck again . luckily the last two time the incident occured i was leaving my house so i was able to have help getting it back in my drive way when it unlocked from its lock down mode. But there has 5o be some type of issue that can be resolved after the amount of money payed for the repairs and the cost of truck as well
The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Ram. The contact stated that the vehicle fuel tank separated from the vehicle when the contact drove at 20mph and attempted to make a left turn. The contact inspected the vehicle and found the fuel tank front strap separated from the frame due to corrosion. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 18V160000 (Fuel Systems, Gasoline). However, the manufacturer advised that there was an extended warranty for the fuel tank straps. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 79,000.
If I am driving and a lifter gives out and the vehicle shuts down then ANYTHING can happen at any speed. SO wtf are ya'll talking about this is not a safety concern? So if u want to get into how many people are in harms way if this fails we are talking about Thousands to Millions. AS THESE CARS GET OLDER WE WILL ONLY SEE THIS HAPPEN MORE OFTEN. Build a terrible product u need to get called out for the terrible design because u wee trying to screw people out of repair money by the terrible design. These companies should be sued out of existence. They dont care about the longevity of their product and should not be allowed to sell to AMERICANS.
Fuel Pump Relay inside the TPIM failed as did in the same unit that has been previously recalled in other vehicles.Chrysler Recall P54. Without warning the relay failed while hiking in the desert. I returned to a dead battery and a 17 mile hike back out to cell signal to get help. If this failure happened while driving down the road the results could have been a very deadly crash. Why is this part under recall on other vehicles and not this one? It is the same part!
Fuel pump relay malfunction while driving the fuel pump stops and the vehicle shuts off putting myself and others at risk of traffic accident with no warning other models have a recall but not this one
For the past few weeks I have had an electrical drain and a humming sound just found out it is my fuel pump running nonstop with the key removed from my truck I was told it was do to the tipm ( total integrated power module) has gone bad and is a common issue for my year and model
Engine would not start. Once started while driving motor would surge like not getting gas and almost stall. Mechanics replaced fuel pump but while driving and parking for dinner engine once again wouldnt start. Mechanics still havent resolved issue
The fuel pump has failed. This is a common issue with this year and I am not sure why it hasn't been address. Truck has trouble starting and will crank but not turn over as if out of fuel. Battery, alternator and starter were checked and are perfect. I was having trouble the past few weeks starting the truck, now I went to start it and it will not start no matter what. Not a battery issue as the lights all turn on. It must be a tipm issue and I have noticed that other electrical components in the car act oddly at times.
Fuel pump relay switch inside the tipm commonly failed on a variety of chrysler vehicles. Vehicle shuts off while driving down the road which could cause an accident.
The federal safety agency action number: dp14004 my ram 1500 2011 has a fuel pump internal relay in the tipm. The battery runs down every night while sitting in my driveway and it has a brand new interstate battery. My alternator has tested out to be in perfect working condition. Previous to my battery dying the truck wouldn't start for several minutes without cycling the key -- now all I have is a dead battery every morning.
For several months my 2011 ram 1500 ran rough and at times would not start. I researched and found that the tpim on several dodge products had the fuel pump relay fail of which several models were recalled because of this. My ram VIN did not show a recall so I called dodge corp and they said that they did not have enough problems to recall this unit. The failures that occured that were recalled had the same tpim box. Why is mine not considered. I would like a recall added for this model and the fix that was made to fix mine be refunded. Please advise as to what should be done...

When I turned my vehicle off and took the key out the fuel pump continued to run for hours because the fuel pump relay is bad. This truck doesn't have an external fuel pump relay like most vehicles do. By having a bad internal relay it can cause gas to continue to pump in an accident and if there is a fire the fuel will continue to pump and not shut off. Also by this fuel relay not shutting off the fuel pump it drains my battery and it will burn out the fuel pump.. The biggest concern by not having an external fuel relay where a person can change it is that when it don't shut off as your driving and get I an accident where fire or heat is involved this could cause an explosion injury or even death, because people don't know this relay is bad and can't change it without changing the whole fuse box or getting the fuse box replaced. The first time it happened I parked the car and removed key and left it for 8 hours while I was at work. I came out to a dead battery, after hooking up jumper cables I could hear a humming sound, which turned out to be the fuel pump continuing to pump gas even though key was out and truck was turned off... I know dodge recalled other types of vehicles with this same problem.
Tipm needs to be replaced.
My truck stalled on my way home from work. The engine cranks but wouldn't start. After self diagnostics, I found out that the fuel pump isn't working, checked fuel bypass relay, tipm, to see if a bypass relay would solve the problem but all directions points to fuel pump. My truck had been towed from where is stalled to my apartment's parking lot and it remains there as I don't have the money to get a new fuel pump installed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ram 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was at a stand still at his residence, when he notice the fuel pump was running. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he had to replace the battery. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired as of yet. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 100,000.
The engine is starting but wouldn't run. I am assuming that it might be the fuel pump.
Anytime vehicle is fueled, upon reaching full, fuel sprays out of filler neck under extreme pressure. Sometimes before, but usually after the nozzle has shutoff delivery. Fuel shoots/ sprays up to 2 feet away from vehicle creating a serious fire / environmental hazard. It is hard to judge the amount sprayed, but I suspect anywhere from a pint to 1/2 gallon depending on circumstances and factors. Speed of delivery and the amount tank is empty. The lower the level the worse/ farther the spray. Delivery appears to pressurize the tank and cause spray condition no matter what precautions are taken to avoid. I purchased vehicle used around 1 year ago at a dealer and this has happened at different filling stations, even the night purchased every since.
2011 dodge ram fuel pump bypass relay has gone out. Truck will not start. Put jumper wire on it to get home. The weather is in the 30's and truck won't start even with jumper. Dealer says need new tipm, don't have 1350.00. Is there a recall for this problem?
