ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY TRUCK WAS TURNED OFF AND IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW. IT SOUNDS LIKE MY FUEL PUMP IS STILL ON WHEN THE TRUCK IS OFF AND NORMALLY IT TURNS OFF AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT LATELY IT'S BEEN STAYING ON AND DRAINING MY BATTERY. ALSO, MY WINDOWS ROLL DOWN RANDOMLY AND THE HORN GOES OFF RANDOMLY AS WELL WHEN THE TRUCK IS ON. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE TIPM FOR MY VEHICLE AND IT SAYS THE AIR BAGS CAN GO OFF AT ANY TIME AS WELL. HOPEFULLY, YALL DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THE TIPM DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING WITHOUT CAUSE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. (RECALL ON TIPM) RESEARCH BELOW: TYPICAL SYMPTOMS OF A TIPM FAILURE THE FUEL PUMP NOT TURNING OFF AND BURNING OUT THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING OR DEPLOYING RANDOMLY THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING THE STARTER CRANKS BUT WON'T START THE HORN GOES OFF AT RANDOM TIMES POWER WINDOWS NOT WORKING DOORS LOCKING OR UNLOCKING THEMSELVES

VEHICLE WOULD STALL/DIE WHILE DRIVING. AFTER BEING TOWED TO A SHOP, IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE A FAILED TIPM. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 61K MILES AND IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE. THE ENGINE JUST QUITS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER REFUELING AND A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IS NOTICED. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 2 OR 3 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WHILE APPROACHING INTERSTATE 35 IN WACO, TX, ON 11/30/2018. AN INQUIRY WAS MADE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT NO COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THEM. IN REVIEWING OTHER CONSUMER WEBSITES THAT IS NOT TRUE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS DEFINITELY A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS JUST INFORMED BY MY REPAIR SHOP THAT MY TRUCK REQUIRES A NEW TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE. THIS PART COSTS $1300. IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REGULATING POWER TO MANY ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE FUEL PUMP. ACCORDING TO MANY ONLINE SOURCES CHRYSLER VEHICLES FROM CERTAIN YEARS, ESPECIALLY 2011, ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FAULTY TIPMS AND THAT THE PROBLEM CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS RANGING FROM ANNOYANCES TO LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENTS. MY SPECIFIC PROBLEM OCCURS BOTH WHEN I AM ATTEMPTING TO START IT AND WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. I AM UNABLE TO PURCHASE THE NECESSARY REPAIR DUE TO THE EXTREME COST OF THE PART. THE UNPREDICTABLE NATURE OF THIS PART MAKES THIS PROBLEM EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
