2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

HAD SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR A RECALL NOTICE WITH ALL AMERICAN DODGE IN SAN ANGELO, TEXAS. ARRIVED FOR APPOINTMENT AND SERVICE MANAGER SAID THEY COULD NOT LOOK AT IT DUE TO NO TECHS AVAILABLE CALLED TO RESCHEDULE APPOINTMENT ON 3/9/15 AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT THREE MONTHS FOR AN APPOINTMENT. AM I SUPPOSED TO DRIVE AROUND IN A POTENTIALLY UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR THREE MONTHS? I THINK THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THAT HOPING NO ONE CALLS BACK TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT MY SCHEDULE WILL BE IN THREE MONTHS? *TR

JUST TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP ON 2/17/15 DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING DEAD AS A RESULT OF THE FUEL PUMP RUNNING ALL NIGHT. AAA CERTIFIED SHOP JUST INFORMED ME IT WOULD COST 1600.00 TO REPLACE THE TIPM AND PROGRAM IT FOR MY KEY ETC. THERE IS A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY INSIDE THE TIPM AND I HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE MODULE. THIS ISSUE IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO THE DURANGO/JEEP RECALL FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, AS WELL DESCRIBED IN THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. IT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. *TR

TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE MALFUNCTION. FUEL PUMP CONSTANTLY STAYS ON, EVEN WHEN NO KEY IN TRUCK, DRAINS THE BATTERY. *TR
