2011 RAM 2500 Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Some electrical components became inoperative in the quick minute. Fuel pump was running continuedly till the battery was drained. Mechanic, I had used before told me that the TIPM Module was defective and needed replaced. Truck just before the battery died was that not all Eletronic's were working. Interior lights, horn, cruise control, FOBs not responding to the vehicle. Mechanic stated that the TPIM did need to be replaced. Contacted dealership were purchased and they told me that there have been recalls out on this particular part. I know that from 2009 to 2017 there have been several models that were impacted by this part being defective. I do have the invoice from the mechanic that took care of replacing the TIPM module.

THERE ARE TWO ISSUES AT HAND HERE. ONE IS THE FUEL PUMP FUSE/RELAY. IT WENT OUT BUT CANT BE FIXED WITHOUT REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUSE BOX AS IT IS INTERNALLY WITHIN FUSE BOX. I DID A BYPASS AND REPLACED FUEL PUMP, BUT I STILL HAVE CODES RELATED TO FUEL SYSTEM HAVING A LEAK. WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED, MY WIFE WAS LEFT STRANDED AS THE TRUCK WOULDN'T TURN ON. ALSO, ON A DIFFERENT NOTE, I NOTICED MY TRAILER BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON SAYING IT IS DISABLE AND FLASHES ON AND OFF AS I AM DRIVING. NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE ELECTRICAL ASPECT OF IT. THE OTHER WAS ON ENGINE. I HAVE A 2011 RAM 2500 5.7 4X4. IT STARTED WITH HAVING A CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE. I REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND COILS. STILL HAD ISSUE AND AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT THE VALVE STEM/SPRING IN ENGINE HEAD BREAK AND CAUSE THE LIFTERS AND CAMSHAFT TO RUB AND RELEASE METAL SHAVINGS THROUGH OUT ENGINE. WHILE THIS WAS MESSED UP, I WOULD NOTICE THE TRUCK WOULD SHAKE VERY HARD AS I APPROACHED A CERTAIN SPEED LIMIT. I TOOK TRUCK TO DODGE DEALERSHIP TO VERIFY RESEARCH AND IT WAS CONFIRMED. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. SO I REPLACED ENGINE. TOTAL BILL WAS OVER 7500 FOR PARTS AND LABOR.

THE EMISSIONS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS A OVERLAY WIRING HARNESS THAT WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE UPGRADED. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 67000 MILES ON IT AND THIS ITEM HELPS CONTROL THE DIESELS EMISIONES. IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE FACTORY FOR THE 100,000 MILES AS STATED. UPON CONTACTING FCA THEY REFUSED TO HELP IN ANY WAY TO COVER COST OF REPAIRS. THIS REPAIR IS HAPPENING ON MULTIPLE DIESEL RAMS . I ONLY ASK THAT FCA BE HELD RESPONSIBILITY FOR VEHICLES THAT PRODUCE AND SELL

WHEN I STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT/STOP SIGN DIESEL FUMES COME THROUGH THE VENTS AND INTO THE CAB. FUMES ARE VERY STRONG. THIS ALL STARTED THE FIRST YEAR I OWNED THE TRUCK BACK IN 2011 (BOUGHT NEW). ONCE YOU TAKE OFF DOWN THE ROAD WITH WINDOWS OPEN FUMES CLEAR OUT BUT COME BACK WHEN YOU STOP.

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 .

RECALL P65 - DEALER WILL NOT GIVE ME THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORK TO BE COMPLETED AND NEITHER WILL CHRYLSER. DEALER CANNOT DO THE WORK BECAUSE HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO DRIVE AND I WORK. DEALER DID A RECALL BEFORE AND DID NOT SOLDIER LIKE HE SAID, BUT SPLICED WIRES, MADE A MESS, AND IS PROBABLY WHAT HE WANTS TO DO NOW. I CANNOT TRUST A DEALER TO FIX THE REPAIR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT AND NOT SHORT CUT ME ON THE REPAIR. IF IT IS SO CRITICAL.

MY SAFETY COMPLAINT ON OUR 2011 DODGE RAM 3500 TRUCK SHOULD ALREADY BE IN FILE! WE HAVE HAD SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK EVER SINCE PURCHASING IT AS A USED VEHICLE FROM RAMEY'S IN BECKLEY, WV. THERE ARE AT PRESENT THREE (3) RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, OF WHICH N49 APPEARS TO BE THE MOST LIFE-THREATENING, WHICH WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT, NOR WERE WE EVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE BUYBACK ON THIS TRUCK. WE ACCIDENTALLY FOUND OUT. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANYTHING CONCERNING THESE PROBLEMS, PROBABLY BECAUSE WE PURCHASED IT USED. THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIE ROD, WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND A POSSIBLE CRASH IS NOT THE ONLY LIFE-THREATENING RECALL. THE RECALL WITH THE FUEL HEATER COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE. WE HAVE, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, NOTICED SMOKE COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE REFUELING THE TRUCK, AS WELL AS A NOTICEABLE SHAKING AND VIBRATING IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WHILE IN OPERATION. FCA US, LLC IS ATTEMPTING TO CIRCUMVENT THE "CONSENT ORDER" AGREED TO BY THEM WITH NHTSA. THEY HAVE AGREED TO REPURCHASE THESE DEFECTIVE VEHICLES FOR THE PURCHASE PRICE PAID BY THE "ORIGINAL" PURCHASER, MINUS A REASONABLE AMOUNT FOR DEPRECIATION, PLUS 10%! IT APPEARS THAT FCA IS MAKING THEIR OWN RULES TO REPURCHASE BY "LOW-BALLING" THE REPURCHASE PRICE! WHAT THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO DO IS CALLED FRAUD! IT WOULD APPEAR THAT NHTSA IS ALLOWING IT! SHOULD A CRASH OR FIRE HAPPEN WHILE FCA DRAGS ITS FEET ON THE REPURCHASE OF THIS TRUCK, SOMEONE WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY LAW!
