2011 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

WHILE ACCELERATING TO A NORMAL PACE ON A HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP. I TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND THEN TRIED RESTARTING THE ENGINE, WHICH WAS SUCCESSFUL. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY. CLEARLY THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AND INJURY IN LESS LUCKY CIRCUMSTANCES. AN ISSUE I BELIEVE IS RELATED PERTAINS TO THE HEADLIGHTS. THE RIGHT SIDE HEADLIGHTS (HIGH AND LOW BEAMS) HAVE AT TIMES CUT OUT RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING. RECENTLY THEY DIED ALTOGETHER. MY DEALER DETERMINED THE BULBS WERE FINE, AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE, WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE .. IT STARTED TO RAIN BIG DOWN POUR I PUT THE WIPERS ON AND WENT RIGHT TO HIGH SPEED AND THEY JUST STOPPED .. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND IT WAS A FUSE THAT WAS BLOWN GOT A NEW FUSE AND THE NEXT TIME THAT IT STARTED TO RAIN IT WAS ON REGULAR SPEED WHEN THE RAIN STARTED GOING HARDER TURNED IT UP TO HIGH AGAIN AND IT BLEW THE FUSE AGAIN .. I HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR A DIFFERENT RECALL SO I EXPLAINED TO THE WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH MY WIPERS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE MOTOR OF THE WIPERS AND THAT IT WOULD COST ME 515.00 .. I SAID WAIT A MIN WHY WOULD THIS COST ME SEEMS TO ME THIS IS A SAFETY AND INTERNAL ISSUE OF MY VEHICLE AND MAYBE OTHER VEHICLES NEED TO BE LOOKED AT .. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DEADLY SITUATION FOR ALL INVOLVED .. BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SITUATION AND ITS EITHER I PAY THE 515.00 TO GET IT FIXED OR IT DOESN'T GET FIXED .AND ALSO IT DID NOT COME UP ON MY MESSAGES THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY WIPER MOTOR WHICH IS PART OF THE ELECTRONICS SYSTEM OF MY TRUCK . *TR
