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.

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.

Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 29, 2018
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.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY HAS NO FUEL. MOSTLY CRANK NO START, BUT ONCE STALLED WHILE DRIVING CREATING DANGEROUS CONDITION WHILE DRIVING. TESTED FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND FOUND FUEL PUMP INTERMITTENTLY NOT GETTING ELECTRICAL POWER. FAILED RELAY ON TIPM.
Electrical system, Oct 3, 2018
TRUCK WILL NOT START, IT ACTS AS IF THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FUEL. A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS THE FUEL PUMP RELAY.
Electrical system, Seats, Oct 2, 2018
THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FAN SYSTEM, BUT IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT RAINS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ECO SYSTEM SHUTS OFF. AFTER A DAY OR 2 FROM RAIN, THE SYSTEM WORKS PROPERLY AGAIN. IT CAN SO SOMETIMES BYPASS THE ISSUE BY PULLING THE BATTERY AND RE-INSTALLING IT. THE SEATS ALSO WEAR DOWN TO THE POINT THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER JUST 20K MILES
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 7, 2018
I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP CONSTANTLY RUNNING HOURS AFTER THE IGNITION HAS BEEN TURNED OFF. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY TWICE NOW AND IS TRUCK IS SOMETIMES HARD TO CRANK. I CAN FEEL THE TRUCK LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROADS AND THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET LOST POWER COMPLETELY I FEEL VERY UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING.
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 27, 2018
FUEL PUMP RELAY WILL NOT ENGAGE AT TIMES. TURNING THE IGNITION KEY SEVERAL TIMES SOLVES ISSUE. FUEL PUMP RELAY WILL NO LONG SHUT OFF THE FUEL PUMP AFTER TURNING IGNITION OFF CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS THE FUEL PUMP CONTINUES TO PUMP UNTIL BATTERY IS DRAINED. POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERNS INCLUDE OVER HEATING OF FUEL PUMP CAUSING A SHORT SHORT IN THE FUEL PUMP WHICH MAY LEAD TO THE GAS TANK EXPLODING. VOLTAGE TEST WERE COMPLETED TO VERIFY RELAY IS THE ISSUE. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THE SAME ISSUES WERE PRESENT IN THE 2011 GRAND CARAVANS AND GRAND CHEROKEES, WHICH WHERE RECALLED, RUNNING THE SAME TOTAL INTEGRATED POWER MODULE AS MINE AND SEVERAL OTHERS WAS ADDRESS BUT NOT THE OTHER MODELS.
Electrical system, Aug 24, 2018
TRUCK HAS A DEAD SHORT IN THE TIPM. I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY POST EVERYTIME I STOP. ENGINE WILL CRANK AND TURN OVER BUT OFTEN WILL NOT START. WHEN IT DOES START IT SOMETMES DIES OUT AND/OR HESITATES WHILE DRIVING CREATING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM DOES IT TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM AS A RECALL? THE SAME PART ALREADY HAS A RECALL FOR JEEP AND CHRYSLER. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FIRST? 119,000 MILES ON A VERY WELL MAINTAINED TRUCK
Electrical system, Aug 10, 2018

AC OUTLET HAS NEVER WORKED, KEY PULLED OUT OF IGNITION WITH TRUCK STAYING RUNNING, KEY STUCK IN IGNITION WON'T RELEASE, BIG THING IS TRUCK SHUTTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING, NOW WERE AFRAID OF DRIVING IT. DEALER LOOKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES TO BLAME OUR STEREO IN IT. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING IT HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS GOING TO TAKE FOR A RECALL, SOMEONE GETTING KILLED? CHRYSLER HAS RECALLED IT IN THE DODGE DURANGO, JEEP CHEROKEE AND OTHER VEHICLES BUT NOT RAM 1500, COST 1000- 3000 FROM DEALER WHO IS THE ONLY ONE TO FIX ? IT THE TIPM MOTHER BOARD THAT CONTROLS EVERYTHING AND I'M NOT EVEN A MECHANIC PLEASE HELP THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE 2011 WHEN I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW
Electrical system, Jul 7, 2018

THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (TIPM-7) FAILED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND DIFFICULTY WITH RESTARTING. THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR A FEW WEEKS.
Electrical system, Electronic stability control (ESC), Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 16, 2018
STARTED FIRST ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I LOST POWER. I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON THE TRUCK AND THEN ON IT'S ON IT LOST POWER AND WENT DOWN TO 60 MPH. SINCE THEN I HAVE GOTTEN AN ELECTRONIC THROTTLE LIGHT MALFUNCTION THAT'S BLINKING ON MY DASH BOARD, ALSO THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT AND ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT IS COMING ON. I HAVE ALSO RECENTLY REPLACED MY FUEL TANK, BECAUSE I WOULD HEAR THE FUEL TANK STILL WORKING WHEN MY ENGINE WAS OFF. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT MY FUEL INJECTORS AND/OR MY FUSE BOX MAY BE GOING BAD BECAUSE OF THIS.
Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 9, 2018
THE TRUCK STARTED TO HAVE ISSUES STARTING, WHEN I WOULD TURN THE KEY OFF AND ON NUMEROUS TIMES, IT THEN WOULD KICK THE FUEL PUMP IN AND THEN START. THE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND WORSE. ONCE THE TRUCK STARTED THEN IT RAN FINE. IT THEN STARTED TO HAVE THE FUEL PUMP WITH THE KEY OFF AND NOT RUNNING.
Electrical system, Apr 9, 2018
THE WIN MODULE FAILED. AKA WIRELESS IGNITION NOD. FROM MY RESEARCH IT A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT IT IS CAUSE BY FAULTY SOLDERING INSIDE OF THE MODULE. I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY RISK DUE TO THE FIRE HAZARD. THE TRUCK WON'T START UNDER COLD CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE WIN MODULE DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION TO START. I HAVE A REMOTE STARTER INSTALLED AND CAN BYPASS THE ISSUE BY USING THE REMOTE START TO START THE TRUCK AND THEN HAVE THE CAR IN THE IGNITION TO KEEP THE TRUCK RUNNING. ONCE THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WARMS UP AND THE MODULE IS WARMED UP IT WORKS LIKE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. WILL ALSO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF IF THE HEAT ISN'T ON IT THE TRUCK WHEN IT'S COLD OUT
