I HAVE A 2011 DODGE RAM. I HAD TO MARK 2009 BECAUSE MY YEAR WANT IN THE OPTIONS. I HAVE REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP TWICE TO FIND OUT I HAVE A BAD TIPM. MY FUEL PUMP WON'T SHUT OFF EVEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF CAUSING A DEAD BATTERY. WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN, TRUCK LOSSES POWER OUT OF NO WHERE, AND DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK SOMETIMES. I'VE SPENT A FEW THOUSAND TO TRY TO GET THIS FIXED JUST TO LEARN IT'S THE TIPM.YOUR OPTIONS WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHECK THE PROPER BOXES

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SEATS
TAMARA RECALL- SO ON JUNE OF 2017 I WAS DRIVING FROM TEXAS TO COLORADO. I WAS AT THE PASSING BY TRINIDAD, CO WHEN THE TRUCK JUST GAVE OUT GOING UP THE HILL. IT LITERALLY LEFT ME STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HILL WHILE CARS WER DRIVING BY 70 MILES AN HOUR. M AND M TOWING TOWED IT TO TRINIDAD AND THEY INFORMED ME THE TRANSFER CASE WAS BAD AND SO WAS THE RIGHT FRONT DRIVE SHAFT. I PAID 2500 DOLLARS TO HAVE THAT REPAIRED. WELL NOW SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2012 THE TRUCK KEEPS GIVING ME PROBLEMS. IT TURNS OFF LITERALLY WHILE I'M DRIVING MAKING ME LOOSE ANY STEERING OR BREAK POWER. THE HEATING SEATS HAVE STOPPED WORKING, THE TRACTION LIGHT KEEPS TURNING OFF AND ON. THE LIGHT TRAILER DISCONNECTED MESSAGE IS PERMANENTLY ON. THE SHIFTER WON'T MOVE OUTTA PARK ALMOST EVERYDAY WHEN I FIRST START THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK TURNS ON AND IMMEDIATELY SHUTTS OFF. THE REMOTE START ONLY WORKS HALF OF THE TIME. I WAS JUST INFORMED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED AND THAT THE RFRONT DIFFERENTIAL IS BAD TOO. AT THIS POINT THE TRUCK ISN'T EVEN DRIBBLE UNLESS I SPEND LIKE 5000 IN FIXING IT. BIT HOW IF I'M MAKING 700 PAYMENT MONTHLY. THE TRUCK IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE FALLING APART AND I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. WHAT WORRIES ME THE MOST THAT IT TURNS COMPLETELY OFF WITHOUT NOTICE OR WARNING WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND WAS FILLING MY VEH. WITH GAS AND IT BEGAN TO VIGOROUSLY SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHERE THE GAS CAP FITS AND THE STATION'S FILLER NOZZLE, ALL OVER MY SKIN, CLOTHS, THE SIDE OF THE VEH. AND THE GROUND. THIS WAS A GUSHER OF GAS SPRAYING OUT WITH FORCE AND WOULD NOT LET ME FILL THE VEH.! THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OF THE DODGE RAM TRUCKS AND IS COVERED ON ALL MODELS EXCEPT MINE. THE DEALER TELLS ME IT IS RECALL# X49 ON OTHER TRUCKS ALL AROUND MY VIN # AND AGE BUT NOT MINE. THIS A BIG FIRE ISSUE AND IF OTHER TRUCKS DO IT AND GET FIXED WHY IS MINE LESS LIKELY TO CATCH FIRE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE HAD TO FILL IT FROM A CAN WITH A FUNNEL TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE. THIS NEGATES ANY EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROLS I HAVE. PLEASE HELP ME!

POWER TRAIN, STEERING
SAFETY RECALL 12V-474 FOR 2010 RAM 1500 COULD NOT BE PERFORMED DUE TO PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. CURRENTLY, SAFETY RECALL 17V-821, WHICH COULD CASE A PARKED VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY ROLL AWAY, DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. BOTH OF THESE RECALLS ARE EITHER UNABLE OR WERE UNABLE TO BE PERFORMED DUE TO LACK OF PARTS. 12V-474 IS THE EXACT SAME RECALL AS 12V474000, CHRYSLER NUMBER M34, "THE NUT SECURING THE REAR AXLE PINION MY LOOSEN BECAUSE AN ADHESIVE PATCH WAS NOT INSTALLED DURING VEHICLE ASSEMBLY. IF THE NUT LOOSENS, THE AXLE CAN LOCK UP WITH LITTLE WARNING, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND/OR A CRASH". I WAS TOLD BY CHRYSLER RECALL GROUP THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE BUYBACK PROGRAM, EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS THE SAME MODEL YEAR WITH THE SAME RECALLED ISSUE (12V-474) LOOSE PINION NUT AS THOSE ELIGIBLE. IN ADDITION, THERE IS NOW ANOTHER DRIVE TRAIN RECALL FOR WHICH I CANNOT RECEIVE REPAIR DUE TO LACK OF PARTS.

I NOTICED THAT THE POWER HAD REDUCED, FUEL ECONOMY DROPPED, AND THE ENGINE WAS SHAKING, THE ENTIRE TRUCK WAS SHAKING LIKE A TIRE WAS ABOUT TO BLOW OUT. AFTER EXITING AND FINDING THE NEAR O'REILY, I WAS TOLD TO CHANGE THE SPARK PLUGS,AND IGNITION COIL #5 AS WELL AS THE FUEL INJECTOR.
