I HAVE A 2011 RAM 1500 BIG HORN 4X4 WITH THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR. PRIOR TO DATE MENTIONED I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TROUBLE STARTING IT. ON THE DATE SPECIFIED I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN MOTOR DIED AND LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THE MOTORISTS AROUND ME. I ALSO NEARLY AVOIDED AN OVERPASS AND ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TO CHECK AND WAS TOLD WAS FUEL PUMP. I REFUSED SERVICE DUE TO EXCESSIVE COST TO REPLACE. I DID MY OWN TEST AND FOUND MY FUEL PUMP RELAY TO BE DEFECTIVE WITCH CANNOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS PART OF THE TIPM. CHRYSLER WILL NOT REPLACE

EVERY TIME I FILL THE TRUCK WITH GAS, ONCE THE TANK IS FULL THE NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AND A SECOND LATER GAS OVERFLOWS OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER ME THE TRUCK AND THE GROUND. I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND THEY HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. THIS IS A VERY MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE DEALER NOE CHRYSLER WILL REPAIR WITHOUT CHARGE. *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

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH PRIOR. DURING BOTH INSTANCES, I COASTED THROUGH THE TURN TO A STOP BUT HAD DIFFICULTLY STEERING AND BRAKING. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. I BELIEVE IN OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES THIS ISSUE MAY CAUSE A CRASH SITUATION. I HAVE RESEARCHED FOR RECALLS AND BULLETINS BUT FOUND NONE. I HAVE, HOWEVER, FOUND MANY ONLINE INTERNET COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR

TRUCK WILL NOT START. TECHNICIAN FOUND AN INTERNAL FAULT ON THE TIPM MODULE. WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. CURRENTLY, THERE IS A FAULT OF THE TIPM MODULE, IF THE TIPM MODULE FAILS (LOSS OF POWER TO FUEL PUMP), COULD LEAD TO A CRASH/LOSS OF LIFE. *TR

PURCHASED NEW, IN NOV 2010. WHEN FILLING UP THE NOZZLE CLICKS AND SPRAYS FUEL BACK ON YOU AND DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK APPX LOSS OF .5 GALLONS PER FILL UP. EVEN IF IT MISSES YOU YOUR HAND WILL BE COVERED IN GAS AND CAUSES CRACKS IN YOUR FINGERS NOW THAT ITS WINTER. I CANNOT IMAGE IT IS GOOD FOR THE PAINT EITHER. *TR

I RAN INTO THIS ISSUE LAST WINTER AND WHEN THE WEATHER WARMED UP IT WENT AWAY. NOW, AGAIN IN DECEMEBER, WHEN FUELING THE TRUCK AT THE PUMP, AFTER IT REACHES FULL CAPACITY IT SPITS FUEL BACK OUT ALL OVER THE TRUCK AND ONTO THE GROUND. DOES IT AT EVERY PUMP. THE DEALER LOOKED AT IT LAST YEAR AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THIS IS A COMMON AND KNOWN ISSUE WITH OTHER DODGE AND JEEP MODELS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND GAS SPLASHES OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE IF YOU TRY TO FILL UP THE TANK, AFTER THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES BACK OUT, I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS A NOZZLE PROBLEM AT THE PUMP BUT REALIZED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRUCK AFTER TRYING SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. *TR
