Filed Jun 26, 2023 · Electrical, Engine · TX

The exhaust manifold cracked, the electrical system, supplying gas to the engine, is built into the fuse box, which is unfixable without replacing the entire fuse box. Valve on engine became extremely noisy and I’ve had to be replaced

The electrical wiring has shorted out the headlights on the driver side and melts all wiring in the area. This is a huge issue with ram in the 2011 years. The other issue is the transmissions start shifting super hard into gear and jerks the whole truck really bad.

Drivers side head light intermittently turns off while driving and will randomly come back on. After replacing bulbs & entire headlight unit issue continues. Faulty tipm (totally integrated power module) seems to be to blame.

When you start the truck, the asb light comes on. The wipers, A/C, headlights, radio, and power locks will not work. If you let the truck run for about 5 mins, you hear a 'ding' and everything starts working again and the asb light goes out. Took it to a local mechanic and was told they were not able to diagnosis the problem. The truck was in park. I was able to drive the vehical but this is an issue if it's raining outside or at night.

The truck turning off while driving down the road. Due to the ignition switch. Lights and everything shut off while driving down the road during night or day. Small bumps in the road cause a short. My truck isn't the only one that does it I spoke to other dodge owners that have the same problem

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.

Tipm causes both hi and low beams on passenger side to go out. Bulbs are fine. When truck is started or even remote lock/unlock only drivers lights flash at first lights would come back on after a few minutes on the road, now they stay off and haven't came back for several weeks

We purchased this vehicle used last november. The factory windshield is nearly impossible to see through at night, and if we're driving in the rain at night, what little visibility there is. Is limited to less than 50 feet. The chrysler dealership in coos bay, oregon says that it's a factory-installed windshield and declines to take any further responsibility. The low-beam headlights are extremely dim. Safe driving at night requires our using the high beams (when safe for oncoming drivers -- not a good mix.) the chrysler dealer in coos bay, oregon investigated the headlights with a visual check, and said they're "okay."
