My vehicle started acting up a few times when i would go to start the vehicle, the engine would turn over and then stall out. I thought it was strange, but continued to drive it. While driving down an ice and snow packed road in the middle of traffic my vehicle stalled out; lost all power steering, brakes locked up, lights shut off, and i almost ended up rear-ending the car in front of me going 45 mph. I pulled the…

Tipm failed to work correctly resulting in no fuel pressure periodically and without warning. Engine would fail to run. Sometimes it would be ok and then sometimes the engine would not run. Ram said they would have to locate a new tipm. They didnt have one because of alot of these had failed, so theyre in high demand. Why arent these being recalled then??

The tipm and fuel relay keep going out in my truck. It causes it to not start or the fuel pump keeps running and drains my battery overnight. I've contacted dodge since they have recalls on other vehicles with the same problem, but they refuse to do anything about it

Using the brake pedal to regulate speed and no usage of accelerator pedal (as automatic transmisson vehicles will generally motivate when gear selection is initiated) "sudden acceleration" occurred causing damage to tailgate…

Engine idle spiked and dropped in rush hour stop and go traffic until the truck eventually stalled. I placed the truck in park and tried restarting. The "electronic throttle control" light illuminated in the dash. I turned the truck off and tried restarting. The starter turned over but the truck acted as if an element needed for combustion was missing. I turned my hazards on--as traffic was clearing around me. I…

My 2012 ram 1500 has been in the shop seven times in the past year for electrical problems. The original problems were related to the pcm which would short out and cause my vehicle to operate in only one gear. This problem was fixed finally by replacing the pcm and various other parts. My truck recently had the engine temperature sensor, right headlight, and fuel pump control go out all around the same time which…
