ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL NOT START NOT GETTING FUEL, REMOTE START WON'T WORK.THE PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP RELAY AND THE NO-START OFTEN OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AND PROGRESSIVELY GET WORSE. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO A RECALL FOR FAULTY FUEL RELAYS THAT ARE VERY COMMON IN 2011-2013 VEHICLES, LIKE THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND DODGE DURANGOS BUT THEY WERE THE ONLY VEHICLES RECALLED. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT SOMETIMES DAYS APART OR MULTIPLE TIMES THE SAME DAY. I AN DATING THIS TODAY BUT HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE DECEMBER 2018 IF NOT LONGER.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2011 RAM 3500 DUALLY CUMMINS TRUCK. IF I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT WILL START A VERY VIOLENT SHAKE THAT CAUSED ME TO VEER INTO THE NEXT LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES TOWING MY RV OR NOT TOWING. THIS TRUCK HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS THE TIE ROD RECALL DONE, THE STEERING GEAR BOX REPLACED, SEVERAL ALIGNMENTS AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THIS TRUCK IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT HIGHWAY SPEED ( 65 MPH ). IT PASSED ALIGNMENT AT BRANDON DODGE AND BIG O TIRE COMPANY. I AM NOW AFRAID TO PULL MY RV AND EVEN DRIVE THIS TRUCK ON ANY HIGHWAY. I HAVE DONE MUCH RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER CLAIMS THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FIXED. THESE TRUCKS ARE BUILT AND CLAIM TO BE ABLE TO TOW VERY HEAVY LOADS. THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE SHAKING TO STOP IS TO SLOW TO 25 TO 30 MILES PER HOUR WHILE BEING ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. THIS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT FIAT CHRYSLER HAS CLAIMED TO BE FIXED, BUT ITS NOT FIXED THROUGH THE CURRENT RECALL. PLEASE HELP MY SELF AS WELL AS MANY HEAVY DUTY CHRYSLER OWNERS TO GET THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED. THANKYOU!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ABS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON THE DASH ARE ON AND THE VECHICLE BRAKING SYSTEM IS CAUSING A SITUATION WHERE THE BRAKES ARE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY INPUT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN DRIVING, THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF AT A RAPID PACE, AND EACH TIME THE VEHICLES REAR BRAKES ARE SLOWING DOWN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE SYSTEM CHECKED BY 2 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR COMPANIES AND EACH SAID THE COMPUTER CODES INDICATED AN ABS CONTROL MODULE FAILURE AND NEEDS REPLACED. IN THE NORTHERN WINTER CLIMATE WHERE I LIVE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT LOSS OF CONTROL ON ICY ROADS. I AM VERY CAREFUL TO HAVE BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL BUT IT STILL CAUSES A 'JERKY ' FEEL WHEN DRIVING.

THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF RAM 1500 OWNERS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE LIFTERS IN THE MOTOR HAVE A DEFECT IN THE NEEDLE BEARINGS, BECAUSE OF THE DEMAND FOR THESE LIFTERS I WILL BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AND I GUARANTEE YOU ALL THE OTHER OWNERS DO ALSO.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER EACH FILL UP THE TRUCK WILL DIE WHILE COMING TO A STOP. IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL IS LOWERED. MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THAT IT IS EITHER THE FUEL TANK OR FUEL PUMP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. NOT THIS TIME..
