The contact owns a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, the vehicle suddenly began to decelerate and lose power. After turning the vehicle off, the fuel pump remained running and caused power to drain from the battery. The vehicle was diagnosed by the dealer but not repaired. The contact was informed that the defects were all due to a faulty tpm (totally power module) and the module would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered.

My right rear turn signal and my brake light stopped working. I took it to the dealer and it was found to have an issue with the tipm or a fancy fuse box. My complaint is that Chrysler is at fault for this defect which can cause an accident because lack of light signals. They need to identify an immediate and a robust fix to avoid accidents. I never had an issue like this in my other vehicles and the implementation of light signals has been around for over 50 years. Any investigation and follow up would be greatly appreciated.

Began when I purchased truck of integrated brake failure later turned into bad instrument cluster, visor short, new brake controller and lots of hours. When starting vehicle wipers come on, no interior lights, no turn signals (inside or outside) no heat, no radio no trailer brakes. Now vehicle has been at Dodge for 2 weeks. They replaced, instrument cluster, wiring harness, TPMS and problem remains. Very unsafe to drive as no indicators and wipers constantly on. Problem began around 1 month after purchase and plagues me today. I have extended warranty and I am charged $100 per visit. Customer care will not provide me with options I must dictate my choices. Terrible service.

After passing a slow moving vehicle on the highway, my truck shut down.the engine cut off, dash lights and park light started to flicker erratically and the headlights went off. I managed to pull the vehicle to the side of the road. In order to stop the lights from flickering I disconnected the battery (they flickered with the switch in the off position). As the lights flickered I could hear relays clicking under the hood and dash. After waiting a while I reconnected the battery and all systems came back on and I was able to start the truck and drive it home. The dealership will not be able to check it out until wed the 18. All systems seem to be normal. I have to go to work. I' M driving it 60 miles round trip everyday.

Right knee bumps the large key turning it, and shutting off the engine, making it hard to control. This has happened several times usually while cornering or slowing for a corner.

My Ram 1500 inexplicably caught fire and burned to the ground after sitting outside for approximately 12 hours. The vehicle was locked, as were the bed cover, the tailgate, and the Ram boxes. There was nothing in the bed or ramboxes. We were alerted to the fire at around 6 am by 1) an explosion and 2) neighbor alert. When we went outside the truck's bed was engulfed in fire, and the fire looked to be from underneath and coming up around the bed. The explosion was either the spare tire or the gas tank. Within 10 minutes the entire truck was engulfed, and completely burned/melted, etc., within 25 or so minutes when the fire dept. Finally arrived to put it out. The fire marshal declared that the cause could not be determined, as did the insurance company's lab after they examined the vehicle due to the extensive damage. We live in a gated, video monitored small community and review of the tapes showed no strange activity. There is no history of criminal activity in this area, and certainly no arson. The ground surrounding the truck was wet (it was parked on a concrete parking space) as the sprinklers had recently run (grass, shrubs). Really not sure if there is an issue with the Ram, but given that arson also seems very unlikely I thought we should document this in case there are other events.

There were no special events before problem showed up, other than the engine must attain normal operating temperature. The problem is when traveling, uphill-downhill- or on level, if you are above 45mph and you stop applying gas pedal to coast. The vehicle will coast until you reach approximately 40mph at which time the transmission will downshift into 3rd gear. This causes an abrupt slowing without alerting vehicle behind you. This could in effect cause a rear collision because the brake lights are not activated, and the gearing is low in rear axle which causes the vehicle to slow at a faster rate than normal. The problem seems to be there all the time, one time it did not appear when I applied brakes. This could have been a one time occurrence as it hasn't happened again. I have contacted local dealer, from whom I purchased the vehicle, 3 times. First time they hooked computer to vehicle and said everything was normal. Second time hooked computer to vehicle drove it and took more readings. Third time they were to take more readings and transmit to Chrysler, also at that time they were to work on transmission. Problem not fixed, when I returned home that evening I received a phone call from dealer stating that Chrysler was to give them a computer flash or program that may fix the problem, and it could take 3 to 6 months to obtain. During the second visit I was told that Chrysler had at least 3 other vehicles with same problem but they did not know what the cause is and therefore they did not know how to repair. I was not notified in writing by dealer or Chrysler Corp. No parts were replaced that I am aware of. I also drove another truck same equipment it did not exhibit the problem. I am not certain if this is a ploy to skirt the lemon law or not. At any rate the problem needs attention sooner than later, also this is causing higher fuel consumption because of having to feed gas when the vehicle should be coasting!
