1) FUEL PUMP STAYS ON AFTER TRUCK HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. 2) TRUCK IS HARD TO START AFTER SITTING FOR THREE OR MORE HOURS

CAM SHAFT OIL CONTROL VALVE FRAGMENTED RESULTING IN ENGINE FAILURE. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND STARTED THE ENGINE. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY. DROVE DIRECTLY THE DEALER, ABOUT 2 MILES, TO HAVE CHECKED. THE ENGINE RAN POORLY WITH VERY LITTLE ACCELERATION. CAM CODE APPEARED. ONLY REPAIR WAS A $10,000.00 LONG BLOCK ENGINE REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE REPAIR PARTS WERE ON 3 TO 6 MONTH BACK ORDER THROUGH THE DEALER. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW FROM THIS DEALER AND HAVE HAD ALL SERVICE, RECALL AND REPAIRS DONE AT THIS DEALER. I WAS NEVER INFORMED THAT THIS TYPE OF CATISTROPHIC FAILURE COULD OCCUR AT ANY TIME DURING MY OWNERSHIP, EITHER BY THE DEALER OR CHRYSLER CORP. THIS WAS A DEFECTIVE INTERNAL PART THAT COULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, BEFORE THE PART FAILED FOR $700.00. CHRYSLER DID ASSIGN A CASE NUMBER AND A WORKER THAT WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A "ONE TIME GOOD WILL" AMOUNT OF $3000.00 TOWARD THE REPAIRS. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REMAINING $6797.00. THIS WAS A PREVENTABLE REPAIR AND I SHOULD NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS PART HAS MANY REFERENCES ON HE INTERNET.

PULLING OFF A ROADWAY MAKING A RIGHT TURN, TRUCK STALLED, CANT TURN STEERING WHEEL WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!!! RESTARTED IT, VERY HARD TO START LIKE IT WAS OUT OF TIME.AFTER RESTART, DROVE ABOUT TWO MILES , AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DINGED THE WARNING CHIME. CONTINUED TO FLASH ENGINE LIGHT. HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT CODE READ AND THE PROBLEM IS # 5 CYLINDER MISFIRE. WORN LIFTER OR CAMSHAFT.THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A TRUCK WITH PERFECT MAINTENANCE! AT 125,000 MILES.

EXHAUST MANIFOLDS WARPED AND BROKE THE MANIFOLD BOLTS

REAR WINDOW WATER LEAK

THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM IN ONE TIRE CONTINUOUSLY GOES OUT. THE ORIGINAL SENSOR HAS BEEN REPROGRAMMED TWICE THEN IT WAS REPLACED AND THE REPLACEMENT CONTINUES TO GO OUT. IT WILL BE GETTING REPLACED FOR A SECOND TIME THIS WEEK.

ENGINE LIGHT CAM ON WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, MECHANIC RECOMMENDED REPLACE PLUGS AND COIL, STILL SHOWING PROBLEM. MECHANIC RECOMMENDED REPLACE FUEL INJECTORS, STILL SHOWING PROBLEM, NOW HE SAYS IT IS THE CAM SHAFT AND LIFTER - HE TELLS ME THIS IS GOING TO COST AN ADDITIONAL $4000., AND THERE IS A BIG BACK ORDER OF THESE PARTS FROM DODGE AND IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 3 MONTHS. NOW DOING RESEARCH I DISCOVER THIS IS HAPPENING TO SCORES OF PEOPLE - WHERE IS THE RECALL???

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF POWER. UPON DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, THE MECHANIC SAID I HAVE A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER #2. TESTED ALL PLUGS AND COIL PACKS. THEY CHECK GOOD. MECHANIC STATED IT'S A CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS THAT FAILED. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I FOUND 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ON THIS ENGINE.

OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING - ENGINE CODE FLASHED ON DASHPANEL - DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT ONE OF THE HYDRAULIC LIFTERS ON CYLINDER #8 SEIZED, WHICH THEN CAUSED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE LOBE ON THE CAM. CHRYSLER ENGINEERS AND TECHNICIANS AT THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR. EVERY TESTING SPECIFICATION FOR THE MOTOR COMES BACK AS WITHIN ENGINEERING SPECS... THE ONLY SUGGESTION THAT CHRYSLER HAS AT THIS POINT (WHICH IS AFTER $4800 IN REPAIRS, AND AN ADDITIONAL 57 HOURS OF DIAGNOSTICS) IS TO REPLACE THE MOTOR...?? WHY? THE ENGINE TESTS ARE ALL WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS...

AT 158256 MILES 5.7 HEMI DEVELOPED A MISS FIRE WHILE GOING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. PROBLEM WAS FOUND TO BE CAUSED BY A FAILED LIFTER WHICH REQUIRED MAJOR REPAIR AND COST, CYLINDER HEAD LIFTERS,CAMSHAFT AND ASSOCIATED PARTS NEEDED REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF $6000.00. AFTER SEEING MULTIPLE REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS FOR THE SAME ISSUE I BELIEVE THIS SHOWS POOR QUALITY IN THIS 5.7 HEMI. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO COMPENSATE AFFECTED OWNERS WHO HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO FIX THIS COSTLY ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO STILL EXISTING LOAN RESPONSIBILITIES. THIS ISSUE INSTANTLY PUTS AN OWNER IN A UPSIDE DOWN POSITION OWNING THE VEHICLE.

AT 171599 MILES REAR AXLE PINION SEAL FAILED. HIGH PITCH HOWLING SOUND WAS EXPERIENCED WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED. SEAL FAILURE RESULTED IN LOSS OF REAL AXLE OIL WHICH LEAD TO PINION BEARING FAILURE. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT ALL REAR AXLE COMPONENTS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO POSSIBLE METAL CONTAMINATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE TURNED OFF THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED.

DRIVERS SIDE HEAD LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WILL RANDOMLY COME BACK ON. AFTER REPLACING BULBS & ENTIRE HEADLIGHT UNIT ISSUE CONTINUES. FAULTY TIPM (TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE) SEEMS TO BE TO BLAME.

2011 RAM 1500 WITH 5.7 HEMI MOTOR HAS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR CAMSHAFT FAILURE. WHY ISN'T RAM TAKING OWNERSHIP IN THEIR DEFECTIVE PART RATHER THAN MAKING OWNERS SHELL OUT 4000 TO 5000 FOR REPAIRS

CANNOT GET A REPLY FROM DEALERSHIPS

EXHAUST MANIFOLD MAKES THIS HORRIBLE TICKING OR KNOCKING SOUND. GAS MILEAGE IS AFFECTED BY THIS. THERE ARE REPORTS ABOUT THIS EVERYWHERE WHY HASN'T DODGE RECALLED THIS PROBLEM?

FUEL PUMP KEEPS RUNNING AFTER VEHICLE IS OFF AND KEY OUT OF IGNITION, DRAINING BATTERY. HAVE TO DISCONNECT BATTERY, OR PULL FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE TO STOP FUEL PUMP FROM BURNING OUT. WAS TOLD IT WAS TIPM UNIT, THE SAME UNIT UNIT THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER FCA/CHRYSLER VEHICLES, BUT NOT ON RAMS.

I HAVE A 2011 RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. THE TIPM STARTED FAULTING AND NOT LETTING THE FUEL PUMP RUN AND START THE CAR. THEN IT STOPPED THE TRAILER/TOW LIGHTS CONNECTION IN THE REAR NOT WORKING WHILE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TOWING A TRAILER. THE ANTI-SLIP WAS ACTIVATED ALL THE TIME AND IT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLES RADIO AND BACK UP CAMERA.

FUEL PUMP RELAY IS FAULTY IN THE TIPM

AT 140000 MILES TRUCK KICK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD IT CHECKED BY MECHANIC CODE P0301 SHOWED CYLINDER 1 MISFIRE. DID TROUBLE SHOOTING, CHANGING PLUGS, COIL PACK, INJECTOR CLEANER, AND AIR INTAKE SENSOR. NOTHING WORKED. DID COMPRESSION CHECK AND FOUND CYLINDER 1 HAS LOST COMPRESSION. MAYBE BROKEN VALVE SPRING, WHEN TRIED TO REPLACE FOUND VALVE WAS BARELY MOVING. PLUS HAD A LIFTER TAPPING NOISE. COST FOR REPAIRS WILL BE OVER $4000. FOUND OUT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE FOR THIS YEAR TRUCK WITH THE 5 7 HEMI.

I PURCHASED A 2011 DODGE RAM 1500. THERE HAS BEEN 4 RECALLS ON IT. 2 RECALLS ARE OPEN AS OF NOW. THE TRUCK MALFUNCTION AND WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL I STOP AT STOP SIGN MADE A RIGHT TURN THE TRUCK WENT IN HIGH SPEED ON ITS OWN DOWN HILL ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING UP IN MY LANE I BRAKE HARD AS I COULD TRYING TO AVOID HEAD ON COLLISION. THE CAR HITS ME PUSHES THE TRUCK INTO A LIGHT POLE TO MY RIGHT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT EVEN DEPLOY. I COULD HAVE BEEN SRIOUS HURT ARE A PASSENGER. THESE TRUCKS ARE VERY DANGEROUS. IN MOTION

FRONT IN BALL JOINT DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING AND AXEL SNAPPED. AS A RESULT MY FRONT IN OF THE CAR HIT THE GROUND CAUSING A TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING. I CRASHED INTO A WALL DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AND ALMOST LOST MY LIFE.

VEHICLE WILL NOT START NOT GETTING FUEL, REMOTE START WON'T WORK.THE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE NO-START OFTEN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AND PROGRESSIVELY GET WORSE. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO A RECALL FOR FAULTY FUEL RELAYS THAT ARE VERY COMMON IN 2011-2013 VEHICLES, LIKE THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGOS BUT THEY WERE THE ONLY VEHICLES RECALLED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SOMETIMES DAYS APART OR MULTIPLE TIMES THE SAME DAY. I AN DATING THIS TODAY BUT HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE DECEMBER 2018 IF NOT LONGER.

AFTER STOPING AT A STOP SIGN. MADE A RIGHT TURN AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT TO HIGH SPEED GEAR CAUSING RAPID SPEED THE THE INGINE SHUT OFF CAUSED HARD STEERING. AT THAT TIME A VEHICLE APPROACH ME HEAD ON BECAUSE THERE CARS PARK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. THE CAR CRASH INTO ME FORCING ME TO THE RIGHT OF MY LANE INTO A CITY LIGHT POLE. THE VEHICLE HAS HAS 4 RECALLS ON IT AND 2 SAFETY RECALLS OPEN AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS A BUY BACK RECALL. AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE REFUNDED PLEASE. THIS HAPPEN IN A CTY STREET. IN MOTION *DSY

TAKATA RECALL MY TRUCK SWITCH INTO HIGH SPEED GEAR SPEEDED UP MAY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH STERRING BECAME HARD TO CONTROL IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET

THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR OTHER MODELS SAME YEAR BUT NOT ONE ISSUED FOR THE RAM YET. I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TIPM WHICH WAS RECALLED ON THE JEEPS AND GRAND CARAVANS. THE TRUCK TRIES TO START BUT ISNT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL SO THERE IS A DELAY AND SEVERAL DRY STARTS ALSO THE TRUCK DIED THE OTHER DAY ON ME IN TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO ALMOST GET HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE THE TRUCK PARKED AT HOME RIGHT NOW SCARED TO DRIVE IT. CALLED DODGE DIRECTLY AFTER SOME INVESTIGATING AND THEY CANT ANSWER MY QUESTIONS.

ENGINE STARTED MISFIRING IN THE NO.1 CYLINDER AND VIOLENTLY SHAKING, VEHICLE THEN LOST POWER TO THE ENGINE NEARLY CAUSING ME TO BE REAR ENDED. TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND DEFECTIVE LIFTERS AND CAMSHAFT WERE FOUND, WITH ONLY 85K MILES THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. DID RESEARCH AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE FOR THE 5.7 ENGINES, DEFINITELY NEEDS INVESTIGATED.
