TIPM FAILED TO WORK CORRECTLY RESULTING IN NO FUEL PRESSURE PERIODICALLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE WOULD FAIL TO RUN. SOMETIMES IT WOULD BE OK AND THEN SOMETIMES THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RUN. RAM SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO LOCATE A NEW TIPM. THEY DIDNT HAVE ONE BECAUSE OF ALOT OF THESE HAD FAILED, SO THEYRE IN HIGH DEMAND. WHY ARENT THESE BEING RECALLED THEN??

WHEN PLUGGING SOMETHING INTO DRIVER SIDE OUTLET, THE TRUCK STALLED. IF I WERE IN A SITUATION WITH MOVING TRAFFIC, THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, LITTLE BY LITTLE THE LOCKS AND WINDOW BUTTONS HAVE STARTED TO FAIL. IF I WERE IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEEDED TO QUICKLY EXIT THE VEHICLE OR REMOVE MY CHILDREN FROM THE VEHICLE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY THREAT. ALSO, I PERSONALLY FEEL UNSAFE KNOWING THAT I COULD NOT QUICKLY LOCK MY DOORS OR SHUT MY WINDOWS IF I WERE BEING ATTACKED.

TOOK MY TRUCK TO GET INSPECTION AND IT DIDN'T PASS BECAUSE OF CODE P0456 : EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK DETECTED WHY?

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A COUNTY ROAD, ANOTHER VEHICLE RAN A STOP SIGN IN FRONT OF ME I SWERVED AND THE VEHICLE WENT AIRBORNE OFF THE ROAD AND IMPACTED HEAD ON TO OTHER SIDE OF THE DRAINAGE DITCH OFF THE ROAD. MY AIRBAG WAS NOT DEPLOYED AND MY HEAD IMPACTED THE STEERING WHEEL.

TOOK TRUCK THROUGH CAR WASH. NOTICED WATER ALL OVER BACK SEAT AND THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR CORNER OF THE HEADLINER. TOOK TO DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS THE THIRD BREAK LIGHT THAT WAS LEAKING. IT'S GOING TO COST ME $70 FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE SEAL.

THE ABS &TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS GOING ON AND OFF AND CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING WHEN LIGHTS ARE ON. WHEN LIGHTS APPEAR TRUCK ACTS LIKE THE ENGINE HAS A MISS.

"TAKATA RECALL" TRUCK STALLS WHILE DRIVING. WAS SERVICED AT AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO STALL, CLAIMED IT WAS PCM MODULE, REPLACED, VERY COSTLY. STALLING BEGAN AGAIN, RETURNED TO DEALER, WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND TOLD NOTHING WRONG. TRUCK CONTINUES TO HAVE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES IN STALLING. ONE EVENT WITH CHILDREN GOING DOWN A HILL AND LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE, COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS. RESEARCH ONLINE FINDING OUT COMMON ISSUE IN IGNITION SWITCH/MODULE. CONCERNED WHY DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO OVERLOOK THIS? I AM ALSO SEEKING REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE UNNECESSARY SERVICES AND CHARGES TO THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LOST POWER, AND THE CONTACT HEARD A BEEPING SOUND. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,000. UPDATED 01/17/2017*CT *TR

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT BROKEN CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS. VERIFIED BY DEALER AFTER DOING A FULL INSPECTION AFTER ANOTHER RECALL ITEM WAS FIXED. DEALER SAID THAT IT IS COMMON FOR THE 5.7 HEMI. POSSIBLE EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING DRIVER CAB. THIS IS ALSO KNOWN AS THE HEMI TICK, HAVE BEEN HEARING TICK FOR ABOUT 1,000 MILES, CURRENT MILES IS 32,004. CAN HEAR EXHAUST LEAK CONSISTENTLY

STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ONGOING PROBLEMS. REPLACED FUEL PUMP. DENIED IN RECALL YET EXTREMELY UNSAFE. FAULTY TIPM.

HAD RECALL 15V-459 COMPLETED AT JACK POWELL DODGE DEALERSHIP 06/09/2016. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COMPLETED RECALL REPAIR. AIRBAG LIGHT AND CHIME STILL CONTINUOUSLY AND INTERMITTENTLY WENT OFF WHILE ENGINE RUNNING. TRUCK SUFFERED FRONT END DAMAGE IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENT 07/29/2016 REQUIRING NEW BUMPER, GRILL AND HOOD. THIS ACCIDENT WAS SUBSTANTIAL ENOUGH THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. AIRBAGS DID NOT GO OFF. STILL TODAY, AIRBAG CHIME AND SENSOR LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY / INTERMITTENTLY GOES OFF. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK OR DRIVE; SEATS OCCUPIED OR EMPTY. I DONT BELIEVE THE ORIGINAL RECALL REPAIR WAS MADE AT DEALERSHIP.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE IGNITION THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE DIE AFTER STARTING IT AFTER TRYING TO START IT REPEATEDLY IT FINALLY STAYS STARTED AND ALLOWS YOU TO DRIVE. HOWEVER THE IGNITION TURNS OFF ALSO WHILE DRIVING. YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN OR LIGHT AND THE KEY DISENGAGES TURNING THE TRUCK OFF. IT HAPPENS WHILE TURNING A CORNER OR DRIVING STRAIGHT. I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL WHILE COASTING AND TURN THE IGNITION AGAIN SOMETIMES REPEATEDLY. I DO HAVE A KEYLESS KEYFOB AND A REGULAR KEY, EVEN WHEN TRYING THE REGULAR KEY THE IGNITION WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE 3 TIMES DIRECTLY ABOUT THE ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED IT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO TURN ON MY FLASHERS PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED STARTING IT THREE TIMES WITH NO BREAKS AND NO STEERING. AFTER NOT GETTING IT TO START I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND CONTINUE TO TRY UNTIL IT STARTED. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AT THE TIME AND THERE IS NOTHING THE CAN DO ABOUT IT WITHOUT A RECALL. I HAVE BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE FURTHER AND THIS IS PRETTY COMMON FOR THE TRUCKS 2009-2012. HERE IS A VIDEO I FOUND ON YOUTUBE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/_V4SNG432HQ PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO SO YOU CAN SEE FIRST HAND THE PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A HUGE LIABILITY FOR DODGE IF THESE VEHICLES JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING! THAT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND MAY HAVE ALREADY CAUSED MANY. I AM NOT SURE IF YOU ARE AWARE BUT WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AND LOSES POWER THE STEERING BECOMES STIFF AND BRAKES BECOME STIFF AS WELL. THE VEHICLE BECOMES ALMOST INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO ISSUES AT ALL WITH THIS TRUCK UNTIL THIS PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT 3 MOTHS AGO. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH THE SAME MAKE MODEL AND YEAR VEHICLE AND THEIRS HAS THE SAME PROBLEM.; DATE BELOW IS A GUESSTIMATED DATE SPEED RANGES

AT 104,000 MILES, ENGINE CODE FOR CYLINDER #3 MISFIRE. 16 NEW PLUGS AND #3 COIL PACK DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. FURTHER TESTING REVEALED REVEALED A BAD LIFTER. ENGINE OVERHAUL PRODUCED A SEIZED ROLLER ON THE LIFTER THAT EVENTUALLY COMPLETELY WORE A LOBE OF THE CAMSHAFT. WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF LIFTERS, CAMSHAFT, VALVE SPRINGS, THE MECHANIC SHOP ALSO REPLACED 5 BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS (ANOTHER KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 5.7L HEMI ENGINE). $4000 LATER I HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ENGINE OVERHAUL ON AN ENGINE WITH JUST 104,000 MILES THAT WAS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. 5W20 MOBILE 1 SYNTHETIC OIL USED AT ALL OIL CHANGES AT FACTORY RECOMMENDED INTERVAL, SINCE TRUCK WAS NEW.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF THEN RESTARTS ITSELF, ALSO WHEN CHECK 4X4 ICON APPEARS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, THERE IS A CLICKING SOUND, THEN THE VEHICLE WILL START. IN ALL INSTANCES THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, EITHER IN A PARKING LOT OR A GAS STATION GETTING GAS, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES.

The contact owns a 2012 Ram 1500. The contact stated that upon opening the rear driver's side sliding door, the rear driver's side window shattered. The vehicle was taken to a glass repair facility where the 3-piece rear driver's side window glass was replaced.

THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OF A RECALL THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS IN TO REPLACE THE PARTS DEFECTIVE. SHE MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT TO RETURN AND HAVE IT DONE IN ABOUT A WEEK. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HER STATING THAT THE PARTS HAD NOT CAME IN. SHE HAD LAUGHED ABOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO GET PARTS SHE HAD BEEN ORDERING. TOLD ME SHE WOULD CALL ME WHEN SHE GOT THEM IN. NEVER TELLING ME THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE RECALL. THAT IT WAS FATALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION FOR THE RECALL AND CALLED TO SEE WHAT WOULD BE DONE TO REMEDY IT. WAS GUARANTEED TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT SINCE THEY COULD ONLY PUT ME IN ANOTHER VEHICLE IF THEY WERE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO KEEP IT OVERNIGHT. I HAD A WRECK THE FOLLOWING WEEK. LOST CONTROL COMING HOME EASTER. I AM 100% DISABLED AND HANDICAPPED FROM A DEBILITATING SPINAL DISEASE. I THOUGHT THE POWER STEERING WAS GOING OUT FROM A WRECK I HAD THE END OF DECEMBER. I HAD MY REPAIR WORK DONE AT THE SAME BODY SHOP. THEY ASSURED ME THE HOSES AND PUMP WERE REPLACED BUT IT DRIVES LIKE IT HAS NO POWER STEERING. KEEP IN MIND I'M A WIDOW TO AN ACTIVE DUTY HUSBAND I LOST. MOTHER OF 2. THE DEALERSHIP ASSURED ME SO I PUT MY TRUST INTO THEM. I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE THAT'S HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE IT WILL NEVER BE RIGHT. I'M COMPLETELY DEVASTATED.

CURRENTLY, WHEN GETTING INTO VEHICLE WE HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES STARTING THE TRUCK. IT HAS EVEN STALLED OUT ON US WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. TOOD TO DEALERSHIP AND DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOT BEING ON THEY INFORMED US THEY WERE UNABLE TO DO THE DIONOGSTIC TEST.

THIS PRODUCT SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY .DEALERSHIP REPLACES IT FOR APP. 1400.00 AND IT STILL NEVER FIXED PROBLEM. THEY SAY IT IS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTICS . HOW MUCH IS THIS GOING TO END UP COSTING.

I HAVE BOUGHT 5 NEW DODGE TRUCKS OVER THE YEARS AND HAD PLANNED TO BUY MORE TILL NOW. I HOPE I CAN GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK. TRADE IT IN REAL SOON.
