CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD DEPLOY UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO THE TIPM DEFECT REPORTED ON MANY CHRYSLER VEHICLES INCLUDING MY DODGE RAM 1500. IT HAS ALREADY CAUSED MY FUEL PUMP TO FAIL AND ALSO LIGHTS COME ON AND GO OFF RANDOMLY. AS EVERY ELECTRICAL FUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE MUST FIRST GO THROUGH THE TIPM, INCLUDING ALL SAFETY SYSTEMS, THIS IS EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING1

If I am driving and a lifter gives out and the vehicle shuts down then ANYTHING can happen at any speed. SO wtf are ya'll talking about this is not a safety concern? So if u want to get into how many people are in harms way if this fails we are talking about Thousands to Millions. AS THESE CARS GET OLDER WE WILL ONLY SEE THIS HAPPEN MORE OFTEN. Build a terrible product u need to get called out for the terrible design because u wee trying to screw people out of repair money by the terrible design. These companies should be sued out of existence. They dont care about the longevity of their product and should not be allowed to sell to AMERICANS.

Engine is giving a code that a lifter is bad. With only 170000 miles this should never be a problem unless there is a defect with the parts used to make the engine.

The lifters are knocking and there's a tick in the engine. I've done some research and there's a whole forum regarding complaints for the Hemi's 5.7L engines in this specific year of my vehicle and other FCA vehicles, stating the notorious "Hemi tick" and the lifters going bad. Yes my vehicle is available for inspection because I can't afford the amount shops are trying to charge. If multiple vehicle's, made by FCA with the Hemi engine for models 2011, are having the same issue I would think it had to do with a manufacturing defect. The vehicle has caused a major vibration and jerking when I try to drive which could in turn cause me to wreck! My vehicle has been inspected at a shop. My check engine light is on and came on after hearing the tick in the engine for awhile previous to the light coming on. The lifters knocking started about a month ago.

Fuel Pump Relay inside the TPIM failed as did in the same unit that has been previously recalled in other vehicles.Chrysler Recall P54. Without warning the relay failed while hiking in the desert. I returned to a dead battery and a 17 mile hike back out to cell signal to get help. If this failure happened while driving down the road the results could have been a very deadly crash. Why is this part under recall on other vehicles and not this one? It is the same part!

Fuel pump relay malfunction while driving the fuel pump stops and the vehicle shuts off putting myself and others at risk of traffic accident with no warning other models have a recall but not this one
