Fuel pump relay failure. For a while truck would just lose power and jerk at high speed. Once it died completely while driving at a moderate speed. Eventually it just wouldn't start at all. Purchased the external relay kit and it fixed the problem. Since this is a widely known problem with this particular tipm in many different vehicles, I'm annoyed that this wasn't part of a recall. Especially considering the danger of a vehicle turning off in the middle of operation.

My truck started out with a dead battery which I replaced and it started in 9/16. Around 12/17/16 I was parked in my truck talking to my neighbor when I decided to turnoff truck and get out of truck. I turned the keyfob to off position only to have it stay running, I than turned keyfob back to on position than back off where it shut off. I pulled into driveway same day and than the keyfob stuck in off position with truck still running. My husband go in it and started to fool around with it putting it into neutral than park than reverse and it finally came out. 1/11/ 17 I started truck noticed tipm light on and traction control light on. I pulled out of driveway the tipm light went out but the traction control light stayed on the whole entire time I was driving it. Then I got home and the key literal fell out while driving it and I lost all power. When my husband came to my rescue the truck started just fine and he drove it home only to have turned the keyfob to off position and pull out the keyfob and have the truck still running. He had to pull the 5amp #27 fuse and disconnect the battery in order to turn it off. Brought to dealer only to be told no recall issues, that they think it has something to due with my after market stereo that was put in over 5 years ago. The advisor called me after having to truck for 3 day to tell me tech needs another 4 hours with it and it was going to be $600 ontop of the $150 I already owed. I asked to speak to manager who could not tell me that they ruled anything else out would not even give me a printout of what was done. I asked about the tipm and he looked at me like I was crazy. I will be taking vehicle out with no repairs and told them if I crash and kill someone or myself their heads are going to roll, this is definitely a dangerous situation.

My information and a short story follows: If it were not for the quick thinking and fast reflexes of my wife, when the truck stopped running at 60 miles per hour on a major freeway, we would have been in a catastrophic accident. As it turned out she was able to steer the truck to the emergency lane which was no simple feat considering there was no power steering and no power brakes. I took my truck into my dealer when we got home and it took them 6 days to diagnose the problem. After the diagnoses it took another 2 days to get the part and to install it. All I want is to be reimbursed for the cost of the tipm module and the installation fee. The receipt and itemized work list are attached to this email.

Truck wont start, or shuts down completely while driving, mechanic says fuel pressure problem.

- Marysville, CA, USA

I was having problems starting my truck, so I jumped it with a booster pack and it started right up. I put a new battery in and worked for a couple of days and then it began having problems starting again. I took it to a Dodge dealer and they found a flash for wcm that states fixes intermittent start issue and reprogrammed wcm. It worked for a couple of days and then again began having issues starting again. I read online that if I shift into neutral and then try starting it will work. This seems to work but it is annoying and I am worried it will leave me stranded or worse cause an accident.

The engine seems to crank but not start. The vehicle sounds a lot like this and fully fully and charged. In the next days we will test the fuel relay but it seems to not be delivering fuel correctly to the engine system. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=xlfjfb4hsn0

9-16-16: Vehicle lost all power and had to be "jumped". 9-17-16: New battery installed but later in the day, starting problems went on. 9-19-16: Vehicle taken to dealer; initial problem identified as needing new fuel pump and plugs. Later, this was then identified as having a faulty "tipm" and that cost would be over $2000 (that included a new fuel pump. Internet research shows that the manufacturer has apparently been aware of this problem but will not take action to issue a recall. In reality, did we buy a vehicle which the manufacturer knew to contain defective parts" parts, which in reality, cause safety issues? shame on them! I thought that I had a quality vehicle. I paid over $45,000 for this truck and it was build with this defective part" help me out here and help out thousands of others who are just waiting for the same thing to happen.

The tipm our Dodge truck is faulty. It has issues starting, the lights will stop working, the lights on dash come on, there is an issue with the oil just disappearing, the fuel pump relay. I have done extensive research online and saw that several vehicles under Chrysler and Dodge have had this issue with faulty tipm and there was even a class action lawsuit, but the NHTSA felt there wasn't enough of an issue with the Dodge Ram to push for a recall. I believe that this needs to be pushed for a recall. This issue is occurring in a lot of Ram and they are passed the warranty and when you purchase a new warranty this issue is not covered. All expenses are paid out of pocket. This is an issue that Chrysler and Dodge have been aware of for years. Our Dodge Ram has been at the shop several times with issues and they did not tell us once about the tipm issues. We had to figure it out ourselves with internet research. A customer should not be paying close to or over $2,000 out of pocket to fix an issue that the manufacturing company new was a defect or faulty. Several million Dodge Ram owners have had this issue over the years and have reported it according to the publication of the NHTSA. I don't understand why customers are being punished to protect the manufacturer's mistakes. Our Dodge has spent more time in the shop in the past year then with us. We have only owned the vehicle for two years.
