TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION IN COLD WEATHER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. IN ADDITION, THE RADIO VOLUME FLUCTUATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM) FAILED. THE TIPM WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

RAM BUYBACK CASE HANDED DOWN IN JULY OF 2015. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED IN THIS BUYBACK PROGRAM. FRONT SUSPENSION, STEERING, AND REAR AXLE ARE AFFECTED.

I REPLACED A FUEL PUMP, THEN A BATTERY, BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 RAM 1500. COME TO FIND OUT IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIPM MODULE THAT IS NOW ON RECALL FOR SEVERAL OTHER MODELS OF DODGE VEHICLES. MY TIPM IS THE SAME ONES ON RECALL EXCEPT NOT ON THE RAM 1500. IT HAS COST ME $1,300.00. NOT THEY WANT $1,200.00 MORE. ADD ME TO ANY COMPLAINT AND RECALL REPAIRS YOU MAY HAVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH ON AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND THE WATER PUMP AND SERPENTINE BELT DETACHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE POWER STEERING PUMP, WATER PUMP, AND RADIATOR WERE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE SERPENTINE BELT AND OTHER ATTACHING COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, ONE OF THE REAR PASSENGER TIRES COMPLETELY DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL.

TRUCK FAILS TO START AND/OR THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES PUMPING AFTER TRUCK IS SHUT OFF, DRAINING THE BATTERY. THERE IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY IN THE TIPM.

MY TRUCK HAD 34,754 MILES WHEN I WAS TOLD BOTH OUTTER TIE ROD ENDS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AS WELL AS THE LEFT STRUT. I FIND THESE PARTS FAILING THIS EARLY TO BE UNACCEPTABLE. CHRYSLER/RAM REFUSED TO RESPOND TO MY OFFICIAL WRITTEN COMPLAINT LETTER. I REQUESTED A REVIEW AS I FEEL MY TRUCK WAS BUILD WITH DEFECTIVE STEERING PARTS. AS CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE I WOULD LIKE THE NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS SITUATION.
