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

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 Ram.

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.

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 Jeep and Grand Caravan. 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.

When filling gas tank at the pump, the tank becomes full and the gas pump shuts off automatically as expected but then a big slug of gas surges out of the fill neck and splashes all over me and the truck. Happens ay every fill and every station. Common problem, Dodge is well aware. Definite fire hazard!

My truck was turned off and in my driveway. It's been going on for about a month now. It sounds like my fuel pump is still on when the truck is off and normally it turns off after a few minutes but lately it's been staying on and draining my battery. Also, my windows roll down randomly and the horn goes off randomly as well when the truck is on. I did some research on the tipm for my vehicle and it says the air bags can go off at any time as well. Hopefully, yall doing something about the tipm due to the safety issues of the airbags deploying without cause before someone gets hurt. (recall on tipm) research below: Typical symptoms of a tipm failure the fuel pump not turning off and burning out the airbags not deploying or deploying randomly the engine stalling while driving the starter cranks but won't start the horn goes off at random times power windows not working doors locking or unlocking themselves
