general problems of the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500

There are multiple electrical issues I’ve had to trouble shoot over the past 4 months. As I’ve researched other people with the same issues online, I’ve bee seeing a lot about some recalls pertaing to electrical issues and fuel issues and so I am wondering if there are prior recalls that I might need to have taken care of which I feel could fix my vehicle issues.

Driving my vehicle throughout December of 2024 and the vehicle would die and power back up, vehicle would run intermittently and fail to continue operating while driving to and from work. Vehicle intermittently stalling during driving would cause "near miss" accidents on the road. Potentially endangering myself as the operator and other operators on the road due to a "no start" issue and unsafe operating condition in the electrical system of the vehicle. I thought it was a bad battery so I replaced it with a brand new battery from the auto parts store while I struggled to have this matter resolved before leaving for army active duty. I arranged to have the vehicle turned into a Chrysler, Dodge, ram dealer to have a diagnostic done on the vehicle. On June 6th according to their technicians report, it shows my tipm is bad. And needed to be replaced. The dealer failed to acknowledge this was a recall issue and would not cover the repair cost since the vehicle was out of warranty due to mileage and age. When their our hundreds of models being turned in for the same issue nationwide.

My 2011 Ram 1500 5. 7l has a faulty tipm. Fuel pump cuts out, causing stalling and intermittent operation, starting vehicle becomes problematic while commuting. Vehicle will sometimes not start at all and will remain stuck in an ignition loop. Continues to throw random check engine codes. I have had several near miss collisions while driving due to its unsafe condition I took the vehicle in to have a diagnostic done and a licensed Chrysler dealer deduced the vehicle has a faulty tipm, which correlates to the mass recall on the 2011 Ram 1500 models however my VIN does not show its associated with the many models of 2011 Ram 1500 when I cross referenced this.

My truck first started having trouble starting . When driving engine it would shut-off at anytime making it dangerous to steer and breakdown in traffic. There was no fault codes or warning lights on dash . After doing testing I found that the fuel pump relay was shut-off. Tipm is faulty and all Chrysler that have this style of tipm should be added to recall . I purchased a external fuel pump relay harness to repair tipm.

Failure to start. Engine cranks but will not start. Remote start fails. Door locks sometimes do not work, radio failures, engine stalls unexpectedly, tpm failure, serv 4wd warning light is displayed sporadically. This was a recall on 2011 and 2012 Chrysler vehicles except the ram. The ram also has the same issues as the other recalled vehicles. Why was the ram excluded from the recall?.

While slowing down to make a turn, the engine stalled out. This has happened once before approximately 1 month prior. During both instances, I coasted through the turn to a stop but had difficultly steering and braking. Both times the vehicle restarted. I believe in other circumstances this issue may cause a crash situation. I have researched for recalls and bulletins but found none. I have, however, found many online internet complaints about this same or similar problem.

Truck stalls when coming to a stop. Truck stalls whenever shifting from park into reverse drive. Rattling sound coming from under truck. Dealership diagnosed it to a defective torque converter and is replacing it and the transmission fluid pump.

I ran into this issue last winter and when the weather warmed up it went away. Now, again in decemeber, when fueling the truck at the pump, after it reaches full capacity it spits fuel back out all over the truck and onto the ground. Does it at every pump. The dealer looked at it last year and couldn't find anything. This is a common and known issue with other Dodge and Jeep models.
