Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks currently, or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia. Exposure to environmental conditions such as water mixed with road salt may cause the front fuel tank strap frame "T-Slot" bracket to corrode, possibly causing the fuel tank to drop and make contact with the ground.
If the fuel tank were to drop and contact the ground, a fuel leak may result. Additionally, in the event of a crash, the fuel tank may not remain secured to the vehicle, possibly causing a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence in an ignition source, can increase the risk of a fire.
Chrysler will notify owners and dealers will bolt a bracket reinforcement to the frame, free of charge. The recall began May 2, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is U04.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of less than 10,000 lbs, 2011-2017 Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Cab Chassis vehicles, 2009-2017 Ram 1500 and 2010-2017 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, all equipped with a column shifter. Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.
Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will update the vehicle software, inspect the BTSI, and, as necessary, replace it, free of charge. The recall began February 26, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is T79.

Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Ram 1500 trucks manufactured from February 27, 2008, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through October 20, 2011; model year 2009-2011 Dodge Dakota trucks manufactured from February 27, 2007, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through September 30, 2011; model year 2009 Chrysler Aspen trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008; and model year 2009 Dodge Durango trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008. The rear axle pinion nut may loosen due to an undersized pinion spline that can allow relative motion between the nut and companion flange.
If the rear axle pinion nut loosens, the axle can lock up and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a vehicle crash with little warning.
On November 7, 2013 Chrysler notified owners that dealers would install a pinion nut retainer, free of charge. In July 2015, and under a consent order with NHTSA, the company agreed to offer owners three options for remedying their vehicles: perform the original remedy, offer to repurchase the vehicle at the fair market value plus 10%, or offer an additional incentive offer towards the purchase of a new Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, or Fiat vehicle. Chrysler will notify owners of the new recall options in a letter expected to be mailed on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N08.

Electrical system, Apr 13, 2020
MY 2011 RAM 1500 LARAMIE 4X4 WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. THIS BATTERY WAS FIVE YEARS OLD, SO I REPLACED THE BATTERY AND THE VERY NEXT MORNING THE NEW BATTERY WAS DEAD. I CHARGED THE BATTERY AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE ALTERNATOR TESTED, THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME THE ALTERNATOR WAS NOT CHARGING LIKE IT SHOULD, SO I REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. I DROVE THE VEHICLE AROUND FOR AN HOUR AND WENT BACK HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AGAIN. I CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE DURING THE DAY AND ALL WORKS WELL UNLESS IT IS PARKED FOR OVER 5 HOURS. THE BATTERY DRAINS DURING THAT TIME AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START UNLESS THE BATTERY IS CHARGED. I HAVE LISTENED FOR THE FUEL PUMP TO TURN OFF AND ON AND I BELIEVE IT DOES TURN OFF/ON ACCORDING TO WHAT I KNOW. HOWEVER, I DID NOTICE THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUING TO RUN AFTER IT PRESSURED UP, AFTER ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I HAVE PULLED THE FUEL PUMP RELAY FUSE AND IT APPEARS TO BE FINE. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT TWICE IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED.

I HAVE 2 ON GOING ISSUES WITH MY 2011 RAM 1500 OUTDOORSMAN 5.7 4X4 WITH RAM BOX. FIRST ISSUES: SHIFTIER DOESN'T LOCK AND SLIDE OUT OF GEAR OR PARK WITH OR WITHOUT KEY IN IGNITION. WHEN IN GEAR AND RUNNING AND READY TO PARK VEHICLE IT DOESN'T SEEM TO GO IN PARK MOST TIMES WHICH THEN CAN'T BE SHUTOFF OR KEY CAN NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION. THIS SEEMS LIKE AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR OTHER RAM TRUCKS ON FORUM SITES AND REVIEWS OF THESE TRUCKS. WHAT SHOULD I DO? WHY ISN'T THIS TRUCKS VIN HAVE A RECALL ON THIS? SECOND ISSUES: I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BUILT IN POWER TO THE INTEGRATED MODULE FUSE BOX THAT POWERS THE FUEL PUMP. THIS KEEPS EITHER KILLING MY BATTERY OR MAKING MY TRUCK STALL WHILE I'M DRIVING. THIS HAS CAUSED SOME SCARY SITUATIONS. WE TRACED THE DRAW OF POWER PACK TO THE FUSE BOX'S BUILT IN RELAY WHICH IS SOLDIER TO THE BOTTOM OF THE FUSE BOX AND THERE ISN'T ONE THAT CAN BE REPLACED. THE ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT FOR OVER $1,000+ NOT INCLUDING DEALER MECHANIC COSTS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED 2 TIMES AND MULTIPLE VISITS TO MECHANIC TO CHECK, CHARGE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR. AFTER MY MECHANIC AND MYSELF RESEARCHED THIS TO IS A MASS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND FORUMS AND EITHER A PURPOSEFUL DESIGN FLAW OR NEVERTHELESS A POOR AND UNSAFE ONE WITH THESE TRUCKS. THIS CAUSES 2 ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK AND KEPT ME FREEZING IN THE COLD ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES ON ROADS AND HIGHWAY STRAIGHTAWAYS AND WHILE TURNING AFFECTING POWER STEERING LOSS WHEN DRIVING? WHAT SHOULD I DO? WHY ISN'T THIS TRUCKS VIN HAVE A RECALL ON THIS? HOW COME BIG BUSINESS CAN NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR MASS PRODUCTION OF FAULTY DANGEROUS PARTS THAT HEY ARE DESIGNING AND USING IN THE TRUCKS THEY BUILD. WHERE THERE BE A RECALL OF THE ISSUES MENTIONED ABOVE? THANK YOU!

HIT A DEER WITH MY TRUCK. FUEL PUMP RUNS ALL THE TIME. HAD TRUCK TESTED. WAS PURL PUMP RELAY BYPASS KIT. OTHER MODELS ARE RECALLED FOR THIS SAME REASON. ALSO TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN 4TH GEAR. TESTED THAT TOO. IT'S THE LR SOLENOID IN THE COM. NONE OF THIS ISSUES WAS WRONG BEFORE HITTING THE DEER. I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED.

MY TRUCK STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE AFTER MY LAST RECALL WAS COMPLETED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON TOOK BACK TO DODGE, AND THE SAID IT WAS FIXED. SO AFTER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, GOT A SYSTEM CHECK SAID IT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH FUEL PUMP OR LINE. WHEN MENTIONING TO DOGE SAID IT WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH RECALL. NOW MY TRUCK WILL NOT START WITHOUT A JUMP OFF AND RECENTLY CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WENT DEAD IN THE MIDDLE OF ROAD. NO POWER AT ALL I HAD TO JUMP OUT QUICKLY AND JUMP MY TRUCK OFF JUST TO GET TO SAFETY. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT JUMPING OF DUE TO BATTERY DYING DUE FUEL PUMP NOT SHUTTING OFF. THE FUEL PUMP IS GOING OUT AND IT WAS MENTIONED THIS WAS A KNOW ISSUE FOR DODGE RAMS.
