I can hear the fuel pump constantly running hours after the ignition has been turned off. I have had to replace my battery twice now and is truck is sometimes hard to crank. I can feel the truck losing power when driving down the roads and though it has not yet lost power completely I feel very unsafe while driving.
Fuel pump relay will not engage at times. Turning the ignition key several times solves issue. Fuel pump relay will no long shut off the fuel pump after turning ignition off causing a major safety hazard as the fuel pump continues to pump until battery is drained. Possible safety concerns include over heating of fuel pump causing a short short in the fuel pump which may lead to the gas tank exploding. Voltage test were completed to verify relay is the issue. Not understanding why the same issues were present in the 2011 grand caravans and grand cherokees, which where recalled, running the same total integrated power module as mine and several others was address but not the other models.

Started first on the highway when I lost power. I was going 70 MPH on the truck and then on it's on it lost power and went down to 60 MPH. Since then I have gotten an electronic throttle light malfunction that's blinking on my dash board, also the electronic stability control light and also the engine light is coming on. I have also recently replaced my fuel tank, because I would hear the fuel tank still working when my engine was off. I've read online that my fuel injectors and/or my fuse box may be going bad because of this.
The weldment on the frame that the fuel tank strap attaches to failed. The strap was intact. It did contact the drive shaft making sparks. The fuel tank almost fell out of the truck. If it had been full the additional weight could have permitted it to contact the highway allowing fuel to leak out. With the sparks from the strap, this would not have had a good outcome. I have contacted the local dealer without a resolution. I would like to purchase a new weldment. I have the ability to remove and weld the new one on. The fuel tank is being held by ratchet straps. I remember fuel tank problems with pinto's and chevy trucks. In this case without warning the tank can fall out of the vehicle and start a fire, without impact with another vehicle. However once the bracket degrades, an impact would also present the same results. I am not looking to get blown up in this vehicle when it is preventable. I was traveling on a highway another motorist alerted me to the sparks. I do not feel the straps are a good long term repair. I have also found other mention of this failure on the internet. Please help!
The truck started to have issues starting, when I would turn the key off and on numerous times, it then would kick the fuel pump in and then start. The problem got worse and worse. Once the truck started then it ran fine. It then started to have the fuel pump with the key off and not running.
I was driving on route 80 on my way to work.the front fuel tank strap holder welded to the frame rusted through and the tank dropped almost to the ground,I heard a grinding noise and pulled over on the shoulder to check out the noise. The tank was hanging by the fuel lines. Luckily for me I stopped. I strapped the tank back in with ratchet straps and got to work okay. Then I jacked it up to make sure it was secured. Called chrysler and dealership about a recall and was told not yet
Check engine light came on,followed by " throttle control sensor " truck almost stalled , then seemed sluggish . Dealership replaced accelerator related sensor. 2 weeks later, same thing happened, same location, only this time, after almost stalling, truck had little power. Taking a right turn at the next street I had my foot on the brake, when l took my foot off the brake, the truck accelerated on its own, without my foot on the pedal, creating a dangerous situation. Truck was towed to dealership, where they are examining the wire harness for a short. I don't know if I will feel safe operating this vehicle again.
My truck fails to start randomly, it just cranks. The horn will randomly go off by itself, and it has stalled on me twice while driving. After much research, it appears the tipm is bad. Other 2011 chrysler vehicles have the same issues, and have had a recall.
Fuel spits-back on side of vehicle and ground while filling tank. Happens both on automatic fill, both slow and fast fill, and also when manually filling tank. Happens just as the back pressure sensor on the service station gas pump trips off when tank is nearing full. Vehicle was purchased used in december 2016 with approximately 55,000 miles. The spit back did not start until recently, approximately november 2017. Happens every time tank is filled now. If manually stop nozzle before tank is full it does not happen.
Vehicle will stall while driving without warning (steering wheel will lock up and brake pedal become hard), the fuel pump relay located with in the (tipm) fails causes vehicle not to start or run, electrical issues such as; some lights working every now and then, cigarette lighter blowing fuse,
Vehicle stopped running while driving endangering pregnant girlfriend as there was no power steering nor was there power brakes. After many tests it was determined to be a faulty totally integrated power module, also known as a tipm. This extremely dangerous failure has been subject to a recall on jeep and chrysler vehicles due to the same component failing. She was driving down a two lane city highway, let off the gas, and lost all power.
My truck for about a year now has been having issues with the fuel system not working properly. Over time it has got a lot worse I went through and replaced the fuel pump with the original pump and still hasn't helped. Through research I was able to narrow it down to a tipm issue. Not only is it affecting my fuel system but also the windshield wipers will at random go up a few inches when unlocking the truck or opening the door. The fuel system issue is when I go to start it will just crank constantly and not start to now I might get it started after a few attempts but then it just stalls after a second of running. It has also at time while driving just randomly stalled in the middle of the road creating a hazard of a accident. I see this seems to be a common issue within these trucks but nothing has been recalled for the issue. I have had to recently pull the fuse every time I park for a period of time to prevent the fuel pump from constantly running and killing my battery which happened just the other day. Back in august I had to purchase a new battery due to the other one dying on me I believe due to the fuel pump tipm issue.
Truck would not start. Had it towed to dealership and found out the tipm module which controls the fuel pump relay was bad. Looked it up online and there are several others dealing with the issue on the 4.7 ram 1500. The dealer wants to charge the owners $1,250 to fix the problem they know about. Purchased truck on january 13, 2017. It had 75,000 miles on it.
My vehicle is stalling out while driving on a highway, my brakes and steering wheel lock up and I just had to try to get it stopped and turned off. Also, my fuel pump remains running after I have turned my pickup off. I have gone through two brand new fuse boxes, and two fuel pumps to try to resolve the issue. The fuel pump relay is what continues to fry, which in turn fries my entire fuse box due to it being built into the actual module within the fuse box. I am $1600 in with the same exact problems each time- I have done a lot of research on the issue, and I came across multiple recall notices for a 5.7 l hemi, which is what I have in my pickup.

Tipm fuel pump relay failure. Engine cranks, but will not start. This is a well know issue with many chrysler and dodge models. Dealer tells me this is "rare". Type tipm fuel pump relay failure in google and see that this is not the case. Lucky that mine failed at home in my driveway. Dealer wanted $1200 to fix. Ordered parts online ($250) and fixed myself after watching youtube videos. Easy fix. Don't let dealer or mechanic tell you otherwise. Took me about 30 minutes. Basically unplug to old tipm and plug in the replacement. Chrysler/dodge used a cheap fuel pump relay that is failing which requires the entire tipm to be replaced or the fuel relay to be repaired (which most people can't do themselves). Failing tipm can cause the vehicle to not start, battery drain (fuel pump continues to run after vehicle is shut off you can hear it running in the rear of the vehicle) and wipers, lights and door locks can activate automatically even after the vehicle is shut off. Chrysler/dodge is aware of this issue and needs to issue a recall on all their vehicles that have this defective tipm!!
Engine shuts off while driving, fuel pump remains on after key removal, will not start easily. Fuel pump relay failure in tipm. Engine stopping has occurred while turning onto interstate highway, while driving down a state highway and in a parking lot. It happens at random times.
After turning my vehicle off I can still hear a noise coming from the rear center portion of my vehicle like where the fuel pump is. It is like the fuel pump still running it drains my battery dead
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.
