THERE IS NO POWER GOING TO MY FUEL PUMP. THE FUSES ARE GOOD . THE ONLY THING I CAN COME UP WITH IS TIPM NOT WORKING. *TR

TOOK TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. ADVISED THAT BOTH TIE ROD ENDS NEEDED REPLACEMENT QUICKLY. RESEARCHED INFO AND FOUND AUTOTRADER.COM STATING RECALL COMING SOON FOR 240K TRUCKS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD VEHICLE IS NOT RECALLED AT THIS TIME. AS A MECHANIC WITH 30 PLUS YRS EXPERIENCE I WILL NOT HESITATE TO REPLACE THESE PARTS AND HOPE THAT THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER ACT AS QUICKLY IN RECALLING THESE VEHICLES. *TR

OPERATING NORMALLY, A GRINDING NOISE BEGAN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND DIAGNOSED AS A REAR DIFFERENTIAL BEARING FAILURE, LIKELY DUE TO THE PREVIOUS RECALL #NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10V656000 WHICH WAS DONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER NOTIFICATION. SIGNIFICANT COSTS WERE INCURRED TO REPAIR THE DIFFERENTIAL, AXLE AND BEARINGS. NO HEAVY PAYLOADS OR TOWING WAS DONE. MAINTENANCE IS ALWAYS DONE ON TIME AND RECORDS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. ITS SEEMS INCONCEIVABLE THAT SUCH A NEW TRUCK COULD HAVE A VERY SIGNIFICANT FAILURE. *TR

TRUCK WILL NOT START, STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC AND FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO RUN EVEN AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED. DIAGNOSED AS TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. DODGE RECALLED THE SAME PART ON THE 2011 DURANGO BUT NOT THE RAM PICK UP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN 30 BELOW 0 FAHRENHEIT WEATHER THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION AT 55 MPH. THERE WAS NO POWER AND ONCE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND NOW THE TRUCK IS REFUSING TO START OR EVEN POWER ON. THE KEY FOB WILL NOT START (MANUALLY OR BY THE BUTTON), UNLOCK, LOCK OR ACTIVATE THE PANIC SYSTEM. *TR
