The win module makes the car shut off, without warning to the driver. This has happened many times going doe the free way at 81 mphs. It also happens in the city. You never know when it it going to happen. The truck literally shuts off because whenever. It also has issues starting back up.
2011 Dodge RAM 2500 electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 24 of 24, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ram 2500. While the vehicle was parked and the hood was lifted, the contact observed smoke coming from the engine area. The fire department was not contacted. The contact stated that the wires to the alternator were burned. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called an unknown dealer and was informed that the repair cost was $400. The VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 17v435000 (electrical system). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated that there were no recalls associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 250,200.
Check engine light has come on several times with codes p241a and p2196. I have replaced the o2 sensor 3 times within one year. I have been told that this is a common issue and have been told that it is the wring harness.
I became aware that the tipm module is defective. I notified dodge on this problem and even requested assistance on repair. On 11/03/17, was told dodge denied claim. In my opinion this may be a safety concern, since the tipm module controls fuel system, air bag deployment, wiper operations and a few other systems. I've noticed on the internet from dosge forums that alot of dodge and chrysler owners also had issuses with the tipm module. I was quoted for repairs around $1200.00 .
Truck shut off while driving. Couldn't steer, couldn't turn, could barely stop. I was in the middle of a rotary with my 7 month old daughter in the car. Most likely the tipm was the cause because it started right up afterwards. No signs or warnings occurred before issue happened.
I had my truck towed into the dealership for a "no start". Problem did continue with the dealer a few times with no codes. The problem is that the truck would start and then when you try to restart vehicle, it would not start. Dealership concluded that it was a software issue, that needed to be updated with the some module in the truck. Unfortunately, I had ti pay for this updated, in which this problem should have been considered a factory issuse. Which in my opinion that the dodge corp. Should have covered this expense. I seen on the internet with other people having the same problem.
Upon activating the high beam head lights, engine will begin missing and eventually stall. Headlights will blink off and on. All dash lights and electrical systems will also fluctuate power (radio, wipers, tail lights, hazards, front parking lights and turn signals). All gauges on the dash will go dead. While driving on 7/22/2016 at approximately 9:15 pm the high beam head lights were activated. The engine began to miss and all electrical systems began to turn off, and then back on. The engine stalled at approx 65 MPH leaving no power steering. Truck was able to be restarted once it was brought to rest on the shoulder. High beams could not be used or the problem would repeat. Make: ram (dodge) model: 2500 year: 2011 engine/powertrain: 6.7l cummins turbo diesel w/ 6 speed automatic.
Truck would not start due to faulty timp module. Luckily it was parked at home, but needed towed.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 ram 2500. While driving 60 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the tipm module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
Power steering failed while driving. It will go in and out intermittently and then work periodically. Our tie rod already snapped and was replaced under recall, but now the truck has power steering issues. A VIN check says all repairs have been completed on our truck but we are still having steering issues. Was driving and making a turn when the steering went out initially and we could not turn the vehicle. Also, brake control system is malfunctioning, causing locking trailer brakes, roof suddenly began leaking and flooded interior cab, tire pressure sensors are malfunctioning, heater flap in dash is bad and been in for repair 2 times and its not fixed. Air conditioner is not blowing cold and the backup camera does not work. The truck has 60,000 miles now and is still under warranty, but dodge says it can't fix some of the problems due to no warranty or not being able to locate the problem.
Today I received the second recall notice p65/the federal safety agency 14v‑635. The previous one I called the dealer and he said all parts to repair on backorder, will call when have part. That has been months ago. What do they expect me to do with another notice?
Service bullitin 25-003-13 o2 sensor wire harness ending with (AC) o2 sensor and o2 computer module failure.
The air conditioning system only works while driving down the road. When the ambient temperature is above 90 degrees and the vehicle is started and while the air conditioning is on the interior cab will not cool down. It is not until you start to drive the vehicle that the air conditioning starts to cool and will keep cool unless you stay stationary for a while. I have had the dealer inspect the A/C unit multiple occasions and they find no problem. When a basic internet search is performed I find multiple sources indicating a defective fan clutch and once replaced this problem goes away. Normally I wouldn't care but since having a 9 month old while living in oklahoma its become more of a necessity during these extreme summer temperatures.
Truck was idling, just got home and the master window switch started smoking and as that happened both back windows rolled down and fire came out from window switch.
