FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TRUCK RANDOMLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF WHILE IN MOTION ON A BUSY CITY STREET. WOULD NOT RESTART. POPPED THE HOOD AND GOT STRONG SMELL OF DIESEL FUEL. DISCOVERED CYLINDER NUMBER FOUR HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE ( FROM RAIL TO FEEDER TUBE) LEAKING A LOT OF FUEL ONTO THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING AND THERE WERE NO SIGNS OR SYMPTOMS THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. TURNS OUT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINES AND HAVE BEEN KNOWN IN THE PAST TO CAUSE THESE TRUCK TO CATCH FIRE IN SOME INSTANCES. IT IS A $71 PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT DOES AFFECT OTHER CYLINDERS AS WELL. ALL 6 HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED AND SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THE DEFECT I WILL BE PUTTING THE MONEY OUT TO REPLACE ALL OF THEM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE INOPERATIVE. I HAVE A DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODULE THAT I INSTALLED IN 2007 WHICH STILL OPERATES BOTH LOW BEAMS AT A REDUCED POWER, SO THE BULBS ARE BOTH GOOD. BOTH HIGH BEAMS ARE OPERATIONAL. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I HAD THE LIGHT SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION ON 3/26/17 AFTER DARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE WITH THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH STILL ON, THAT THE LOW BEAMS WE'RE NOT ON, BUT THE OTHER LIGHTS WERE ON. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT MODULE ONLY POWERS THE LOW BEAMS WHEN THE IGNITION IS IN THE ON POSITION. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 MODEL SINCE IT HAS A TIPM WHICH CONTROLS THE LIGHT AND OTHER FUNCTIONS. THE TIPM DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEABLE RELAYS OR RESETTING CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR THE HEADLIGHTS WHICH ALLOW THE QUICK AND EASY REPAIR OR AUTOMATIC RESET OF THE HEADLIGHTS. SINCE ANY LITTLE GLITCH MAY CAUSE THE TIPM TO SHUT DOWN THE LIGHTS THERE IS SAFETY ISSUE SINCE BOTH LOW BEAMS MAY GO OFF AT ANYTIME FOR NO REAL REASON. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES TO REPLACE THE TIPM WITH A UNIT THAT HAS A STANDARD DESIGN LIKE IS FOUND ON OTHER DODGE RAM YEARS. PLEASE RESEARCH THE NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE TIPM INCLUDING LOW BEAMS, FUEL PUMPS TURNING OFF CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STOP UNEXPECTEDLY, ETC. IT'S TIME THAT DODGE IS MADE TO REPLACE THE TIPM WITH SOMETHING RELIABLE THAT DOES NOT POSE SAFETY ISSUES. A RECALL IS IN ORDER. IF I DID NOT HAVE THE DRL MODULE INSTALLED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT LOW BEAMS WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND SWITCHED ON THE HEADLIGHTS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK GAS SHOOTS OUT THE FILLER HOLE. ITS NOT LIKE NORMAL VEHICLE WHEN THE GAS HANDLE CLICKS AND STOPS. ON MY DODGE RAM, THE GAS NOZZLE STOPS BUT AS SOON AS IT DOES GAS COME POURING OUT MY FILLER HOLE. THIS IS GOT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET IM THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL DODGE HAS NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL REPAIR ON OUR DODGE RAM BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART & DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PART. WE ARE CONSTANTLY GETTING URGENT CALLS TELLING US TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL DODGE DEALER. OUR LOCAL DEALER TELLS US THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART & THEY TELL US THAT THEY WILL CALL US WHEN THEY HAVE THE PART. WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER IN AN EMAIL & THEY SAY THE SAME THING. MEANWHILE WE HAVE TO DRIVE WITH FEAR, KNOWING THAT THIS DEFECTIVE PART HAS KILLED PEOPLE, IT IS SCARY. WE ARE REACHING OUT BECAUSE THIS IS WRONG & NO ONE ELSE SHOULD LOSE THEIR LIFE OR SUFFER INJURY. OUR LOCAL DODGE & CHRYSLER HAVE NOT OFFERED ANY OTHER REMEDY, YET THEY CONSTANTLY CALL TELLING US HOW URGENT THIS RECALL IS & HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO GET IT REPAIRED. IT IS NONSENSE & IT IS NEGLIGENT ON THEIR PART. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP ALL OF US WHO ARE FACING THIS GIGANTIC PROBLEM.
