Just took my vehicle into the shop on 2/17/15 due to the battery being dead as a result of the fuel pump running all night. Aaa certified shop just informed me it would cost 1600.00 to replace the tipm and program it for my key etc. There is a faulty fuel pump relay inside the tipm and I have to replace the entire module. This issue is most likely related to the durango/jeep recall for the exact same issue, as well described in the class action lawsuit. It is not covered by any warranty.
2011 Dodge RAM 1500 fuel system complaints
Page 6 of 6: complaints 131 to 142 of 142, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Totally integrated power module malfunction. Fuel pump constantly stays on, even when no key in truck, drains the battery.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the fuel pump remained activated when the vehicle was powered off. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Truck will not start. Technician found an internal fault on the tipm module. Will need to be replaced. Currently, there is a fault of the tipm module, if the tipm module fails (loss of power to fuel pump), could lead to a crash/loss of life.
There is no power going to my fuel pump. The fuses are good . The only thing I can come up with is tipm not working.
Truck will not start, stalls out in traffic and fuel pump continues to run even after vehicle is turned off and key removed. Diagnosed as totally integrated power module. Dodge recalled the same part on the 2011 durango but not the ram pick up.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled multiple times. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the fuel pump module was repaired. A second repair was performed on the vapor canister, but the failure recurred. The dealer stated that the integrated power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 53,292.
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.
Purchased new, in nov 2010. When filling up the nozzle clicks and sprays fuel back on you and down the side of the truck appx loss of .5 gallons per fill up. Even if it misses you your hand will be covered in gas and causes cracks in your fingers now that its winter. I cannot image it is good for the paint either.
I ran into this issue last winter and when the weather warmed up it went away. Now, again in decemeber, when fueling the truck at the pump, after it reaches full capacity it spits fuel back out all over the truck and onto the ground. Does it at every pump. The dealer looked at it last year and couldn't find anything. This is a common and known issue with other dodge and jeep models.
I purchased this truck used a few months ago and gas splashes out of the filler tube if you try to fill up the tank, after the gas pump nozzle clicks off, a considerable amount of gas comes back out, I first thought it was a nozzle problem at the pump but realized it was an issue with the truck after trying several different gas stations.
