2 Battery Dead problem of the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 03/08/2016

Dropped truck off for detailing. Truck was off. When employee tried to start truck battery was dead. After jumping battery, it started but once driven 50 feet to park, the truck key could be turned off, key removed, but truck still running. Could not get it to turn off. Electric windows closed themselves, air conditioning would not operate. Dash board lights came on. Manual brake was set and could be released, but light never went out. Truck was about 90 degrees in hawaii heat, so couldn't drive it to Dodge dealer with no air and windows inoperable. Scary. Had it hauled to dealer on truck while it was running. Dealer said battery drained and tipm needs replacement, and then further investigation. Est. $3,000 already for repairs. In month leading up to this, vehicle had vibration. Dealers replaced fuel injector, rear end differential, brake pads and rotors and calipers, all which had passed an inspection just a couple months earlier. Cost estimate on these combined $3,000 also. Saw recall 05v461000 online for 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 transfer case. Could this be related? I had similar thing happen with my Dodge nitro which was on recall.

3 Battery Dead problem of the 2011 Dodge Ram 1500

Failure Date: 02/17/2015

Just took my vehicle into the shop on 2/17/15 due to the battery being dead as a result of the fuel pump running all night. Aaa certified shop just informed me it would cost 1600. 00 to replace the tipm and program it for my key etc. There is a faulty fuel pump relay inside the tipm and I have to replace the enitire module. This issue is most likely related to the durango/Jeep recall for the exact same issue, as well described in the class action lawsuit. It is not covered by any warranty.
