When moving vehicle after fueling, truck was stopped, put in park and driver opened the door to exit the vehicle. The truck unexpectedly began moving backward and the driver was knocked to the ground by the door. The door caught the door on the fuel pump guard post, bending the door back beyond 90 degrees and bending the hinge, and causing irreparable damage to the door and fender, and also caused damage to a car fueling at the pump when it struck it. The door does not open or close properly.

In 2020 my 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 began chucking and lurching when cornering. I parked the truck at home and had it towed to the shop. The mechanics pulled the rear axle apart and found shavings and large chunks out of the pinion gear and subsequently many of the other gears and components in the rear axle. The mechanic said I was lucky it did not lock up while driving. Being that I purchased it used Dodge did nothing to help me. My after market warranty was out, so I had to pay over $2,200 out of pocket to have it rebuilt because Dodge stopped manufacturing the axle assembly of the 3. 92 gear ratio. I got it back and drove it minimally for the past six months. Today 3/16/2021 I decided to drain and refill the rear axle with the specified Dodge lubricants. While draining the axle fluid I found a shard of metal approximately 1" x 1/8" x 1/16". Very disappointed. Now I am looking at another $2,200 rebuild and the loss if my vehicle again for several weeks. This is a safety issue and Dodge needs to issue a recall to all Dodge owners whom this affects, not just original owners. I have repair reciept ducumentation if needed.

I have tipm problems where I had to disconnect the plug connections and replug. Then I was told by a 20 year Dodge ram certified mechanic to actually beat on the outside of the box the tipm was in. I was stranded for 3 days not being able to start my truck. The beating part worked to get me on the road again. He said it needs replacing. I found several small companies that have started business exclusively to repair Dodge ram tipm units. They all have different levels of repair options and costs. If that alone doesn't disclose a need for a recall I'm not sure if anything else could. I'm disabled and alone and isolated in the desert for covid when this problem started last week on the last Tuesday in Feb 2021 and called the indio CA Dodge service on Saturday to schedule repair to the tipm when the mechanic advised me of the beating technique which has worked since that sat. My truck has experienced issues since I purchased it showing multiple different codes yet none really affecting the general performance. Other then lights on and not passing smog the truck was running decent with bad gas mileage. Now it's remained with varied check lights and codes have since changed since the beating. It appears that Dodge has this tipm problem with many of it's lines within the entire network of related vehicals. In my case I was out of food, ice, gas for heat in freezing temps and 70+ mph winds with no vehical to use. I'm 70 this year and it was not a fun few days. I bought the truck the end of summer 2020. I've purchased several parts and products at auto suppliers and also several used parts at pull your own part places. I think Dodge knows this is a huge issue that they should be recalling but since they aren't forced to and people pay for parts and repairs their actually profiting from their own faulty parts and laughing all the way to the bank while people suffer.

The vehicle dies and everything becomes disabled including all outside lights including the emergency flashers. Engine turns off and then will no restart. Sometimes this problem is intermittent but later completely fails. This is the second time in 2 years that this truck has died. The first time it happened on a foggy night. Th engine and all lights turned off at cruising speed leaving only some instrument cluster lights on which ends up bein even more of a distraction from the sudden outside darkness. After trying to find the side of the road in the darkness, then your emergency flashers do not work leaving the truck just a dark target in the road. This is extremely dangerous. Recently this same truck died a second time but thankfully after filling up a a gas station. After a quick search online, this has happened to many many Dodge ram owners from 2009 to 2016 maybe newer vehicles and also other models. The dealer refers to the problem being with a totally integrated power module (tipm). I just read that there have been many complaints filed already even with the NHTSA. Please continue to investigate, this is a major safety issue.

I own a 2009 Dodge ram , VIN #1d3hb13t29j525293, that is covered by recall 13v-038. Dodge/fca and it's agent stericycle refuse to comply with the terms of the recall. On March 18, 2019 ,after calling the recall number for 3 � weeks, jasmine washington with stericycle called to offer me $8,560 for my Dodge Ram 1500. That number is of course not the purchase price I paid but is the only offer jasmine would make. I reluctantly agreed and sent her the information she requested. Unfortunately on March 28th while I was driving to del rio, TX from my home in san angelo, TX the defect occurred and the drive train detached from my rear axle. My truck was stranded in sonora, TX. I immediately informed jasmine of the situation and asked for her guidance. She has refused to respond to my phone calls and emails until may 9th when she emailed me that I would be reimbursed for towing. She refuses to respond to my requests for the process to submit my towing expenses or provide any information on when the buyback will occur. I don't know how to make a company comply with a recall. I have had to borrow vehicles to get to work. I have had to rent vehicles for work. I have exhausted my resources. I find it hard to believe that I am the only consumer being harmed by Dodge/fca's refusal to comply.

The vehicle will intermittently stall when stopping or stopped at a traffic light or stop sign. It can be immediately restarted. It will also intermittently flash a check engine light with chime while driving down the road. This has been an ongoing problem since purchased in 2008. It happens with cold or warm engine. It may happen once a week, once a month, or several times in one day. Usually more frequently when the air temperature is below 65 degrees. There are no codes stored and no check engine light displayed (other than the intermittent light & chime). . The dealership says there are no TSB's covering my engine/transmission. There are hundred of similar complaints online with owners 4. 7 engines in other Dodge & Jeep products. Many people have spent well over $1,000 on this problem and not solved it. We recently moved from a rural area to a large city. Dealing with this problem in heavy traffic is very stressful. We recently started transporting a baby in this vehicle and the impatience of other cars waiting for us to restart ours leads to other vehicles to take aggressive actions which will eventually lead to an accident.

This truck had a p 77 recall done and suposedly was fixed in April 2016 and in sept 2018 I start hearing a noise in the rearend and found out these trucks have rearend issues so took it to findlay Dodge in wilsonville oregon . They claimed problem nothing to do with recall fix , so I took the truck to another place to have fixed , which they then found out, that the pinion set was way too tight causing the bearing failure and metal in case. I paid to have rearend rebuilt. I feel this problem should havebeen fixed by the dealership/manufacturer and happened because the orgina recall and the fix was done wrong (too tight) causing the bearing failure. I have proof of findlay Dodge paper work claims and of the place that actually fixed my truck with repair cost parts etc. Truck only has 57k miles.
