2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT LOW SPEED, ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. DURING UP HILL CITY DRIVING, ENGINE WILL NOT MAINTAIN CONSTANT RPM OR SMOOTH ACCELERATION. IT TAKE APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES TO START THE VEHICLE. *TR

TRUCK WONT START,OR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING, MECHANIC SAYS FUEL PRESSURE PROBLEM. *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND NOW THE BATTERY IS DRAINING EASILY AND IT WILL NOT START UNLESS YOU SWITCH IT ON AND TAKE IT OUT OF PARK INTO DRIVE FOR ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES. WHEN YOU PUT IT BACK IN PARK IT WILL START. I HAVE REVIEWED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE FROM OTHER OWNERS. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DEALER THAT IT MAY BE THE EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP RELAY BUT OTHERS WERE TOLD THAT TOO AND THEY STILL HAD THE SAME STARTING ISSUE AFTER PAYING A HUGE EXPENSE FOR THIS TYPE OF REPAIR.

I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING MY TRUCK, SO I JUMPED IT WITH A BOOSTER PACK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I PUT A NEW BATTERY IN AND WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN IT BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY FOUND A FLASH FOR WCM THAT STATES FIXES INTERMITTENT START ISSUE AND REPROGRAMMED WCM. IT WORKED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN AGAIN BEGAN HAVING ISSUES STARTING AGAIN. I READ ONLINE THAT IF I SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN TRY STARTING IT WILL WORK. THIS SEEMS TO WORK BUT IT IS ANNOYING AND I AM WORRIED IT WILL LEAVE ME STRANDED OR WORSE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND MY ENGINE DIED. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE AND MY TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE CRANKED, BUT WOULD NOT START. SOMEONE HELPED ME PUSH MY TRUCK OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANES (VERY RISKY FOR THEM AND FOR ME AS TRAFFIC WAS STILL MOVING, SWERVING AND CAUSING A BACK UP.) AFTER ABOUT TEN-FIFTEEN MINUTES, THE TRUCK STARTED AND I DROVE IT HOME. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND ON AND IT SEEMED OK. NEXT MORNING TRUCK WOULD NOT START, I SPRAYED STARTING FLUID IN AIR INTAKE AND IT TRIES TO START, SO I AM GUESSING FUEL PROBLEMS. TRUCK STARTED AFTER MUCH CRANKING, BUT DON'T TRUST IT, NOT SAFE TO GO ON FREEWAY AND CAUSE ANOTHER SCARY SITUATION. RESEARCH TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DID NOT SUFFER ANY LOSSES, BUT MAY HAVE CAUSED OTHER ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE TRAFFIC BACK UP I CAUSED. *TR
