ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY ON INITIAL START ATTEMPT AND DURING LOW SPEED GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS & ACCELERATING ON INTERSTATE ENTRANCE RAMPS. IMMEDIATE LOSS OF DRIVING CONTROL WITH LIMITED BRAKES AND MANUAL STEERING TO AVOID TRAFFIC. PLACING VEHICLE IN PARK AND IGNITION KEY TO OFF VEHICLE WOUD RESTART. RAM DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACING WIN MODULE AND I HAVE HAD NO REOCCURENCES SINCE, (45 DAYS). THEIR IS NO RECALL OUT FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL BUT IT HAS BEEN NOTED AS A PART FAILURE ON OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AS DRIVING IS DIFFICULT REQUIRING ABOVE NORMAL ARM STRENGTH TO GET VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYLER CUSTOMER CARE AND AWAITING THEIR RESPONSE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY 2012 DODGE RAM HAS ALL THE SYMPTOMS THAT MERITED ATTENTION AND RESOLUTION WITH CHRYSLER COMPANY'S TIPM'S RECALL. MY LIGHTS SOMETIMES COME OWN, IT WOULD NOT START AND THE FUEL PUMP WAS DETERMINED TO BE THE PROBLEM 12/18-23/2017. ONCE I PICKED UP THE TRUCK, IT SOME TIME WOULD START BUT AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS. THIS TIME THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED THE TIPM MODULE WAS THE PROBLEM, AND EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS THAT THIS WELL KNOWN DEFECT EXIST, NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND REPLACE THE PART AGAIN OUT OF MY TRUCK FROM 12/27/2017 TILL 01/06/2018!. WHAT CRITERIA WAS USED TO DETERMINE WHOSE VEHICLE WITH THE KNOWN DEFECT IS CORRECTED OR NOT, IS NOT CLEAR. I CONTACTED FCA AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST ALTHOUGH THE YEAR, MAKR AND MODEL HAD THOSE ISSUES. I THINK THIS IS SHAMEFUL. I TRUSTED THEIR NAME AND REPUTATION, BUT THEY SHOW NO INTEGRITY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN. NO POWER TO THE ENGINE, LIGHTS ETC. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND FOUND MENTION OF A WIRE IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT AFTER A FEW YEARS OF TILTING THE STEERING WHEEL UP AND DOWN THE WIRE WILL BREAK. I REMOVED THE ACCESS COVER TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND FOUND THE RED MAIN POWER WIRE HAD BROKEN OFF. I WAS LUCKY THIS HAPPENED AS I STOPPED MY VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS IF I OR SOMEONE ELSE IS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AND THIS WIRE BREAKS ALL POWER TO THE STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. IS LOST. I HAVE TEMPORARILY REPAIRED THE WIRE IN MY TRUCK BUT I WILL NO LONGER TILT THE STEERING WHEEL FOR FEAR OF THIS WIRE BREAKING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE AND I AM AMAZED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL.
