Three problems related to starter have been reported for the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Truck would not start, engine would not turn over. Vehicle was towed to nearby ahop. Was told that it waa a bad tipm (total integrated power module) and upon inveatigation by repair shop was told it was a recall and this module was on back order due to number of vehiclea affected and redesign of module. Was without truck for six months. All systems were affected and would not work. It had burned out starter and affected all electrical syatems.
In spring 2013 my Dodge ram truck failed to start. It was towed to the dealer where I was told there was a faulty sensor and charged over $600 for the repair. In September 2013 the exact problem occurred. I was travelling and when I returned to my truck it would not start again. After several tries I was able to get my truck to start. While driving it directly to the dealership every light on the dash was flashing and acting very erratic. The dealer once again told to me I had a faulty starter. When the truck was "repaired" the dealer left just about every notice on my dash flashing stating there was nothing they could do about it (unless I wanted to pay them more money). While in the waiting room I chatted with at least one other customer who had the same problem. The Dodge ram trucks are simply not starting because of a sensor and the dealers are making a fortune off the customers. This sensor is "faulty" and Dodge needs to be required to pay for the replacement for its customers. Not to mention the fact that owners of the Dodge ram are left stranded in parking lots. . . .
