My truck will not crank sometimea. I put a new starter and new battery on it and it works for a while and then stops. One time the fuel pump ran with the truck turned off my service man says it's the computer box and this morning it would not crank at all. This part is very expensive and hard to find, from what I've read this is a common problem with this model.
Vehicle stopped running while driving endangering pregnant girlfriend as there was no power steering nor was there power brakes. After many tests it was determined to be a faulty totally integrated power module, also known as a tipm. This extremely dangerous failure has been subject to a recall on Jeep and Chrysler vehicles due to the same component failing. She was driving down a two lane city highway, let off the gas, and lost all power.
My truck for about a year now has been having issues with the fuel system not working properly. Over time it has got a lot worse I went through and replaced the fuel pump with the original pump and still hasn't helped. Through research I was able to narrow it down to a tipm issue. Not only is it affecting my fuel system but also the windshield wipers will at random go up a few inches when unlocking the truck or opening the door. The fuel system issue is when I go to start it will just crank constantly and not start to now I might get it started after a few attempts but then it just stalls after a second of running. It has also at time while driving just randomly stalled in the middle of the road creating a hazard of a accident. I see this seems to be a common issue within these trucks but nothing has been recalled for the issue. I have had to recently pull the fuse every time I park for a period of time to prevent the fuel pump from constantly running and killing my battery which happened just the other day. Back in August I had to purchase a new battery due to the other one dying on me I believe due to the fuel pump tipm issue.
The truck turning off while driving down the road. Due to the ignition switch. Lights and everything shut off while driving down the road during night or day. Small bumps in the road cause a short. My truck isn't the only one that does it I spoke to other Dodge owners that have the same problem
My vehicle is stalling out while driving on a highway, my brakes and steering wheel lock up and I just had to try to get it stopped and turned off. Also, my fuel pump remains running after I have turned my pickup off. I have gone through two brand new fuse boxes, and two fuel pumps to try to resolve the issue. The fuel pump relay is what continues to fry, which in turn fries my entire fuse box due to it being built into the actual module within the fuse box. I am $1600 in with the same exact problems each time- I have done a lot of research on the issue, and I came across multiple recall notices for a 5.7 L hemi, which is what I have in my pickup.
Crank no start. After several tries it will start. Sometimes it will just die while driving. They used the recall kit for the Cherokee to fix my truck. I have the same tipm computer as a Cherokee so why isn't my vehicle included on same recall?
Engine shuts off while driving, fuel pump remains on after key removal, will not start easily. Fuel pump relay failure in tipm. Engine stopping has occurred while turning onto interstate highway, while driving down a state highway and in a parking lot. It happens at random times.
I was having issues starting my truck, so I took it in to the dealership for a diagnostic. I learned the issue was a faulty tipm sending bad signals to the fuel pump. Because the system is integrated and dependant on one another the repair is very expensive and extensive.
After turning my vehicle off I can still hear a noise coming from the rear center portion of my vehicle like where the fuel pump is. It is like the fuel pump still running it drains my battery dead
My truck would crank but not start sometimes after being parked for a while. I thought it may have been from the humidity. It will crank and not start a couple of times more often now. When driving on the highway sometimes, it will sputter for a couple of seconds. I thought it might have been from having a little water in the gasoline from the ethanol. I've been using fuel injector cleaner and seafoam every so often since 2014. The truck is 6 years old. I've been reading about how others have been having a problem with the fuel pump relay going bad on the same year model vehicle and other make/models by Dodge.
My truck is a 2011 with only 63 thousand miles on it. The truck would crank but not start right away when cold. At first it would run fine once warm but eventually it started stalling when warm. I thought it was either the fuel pump or the tpim which I found out about online as many people are having the same issue. I asked the dealership and they stated it's definitely the fuel pump. I went to a local shop to have them test it and surprise, surprises it was the tpim. Well it's a thousand dollar part and another $500 to program the new one. The issue is with a rely the Chrysler put in the unit the is part of the mother board. So instead of replacing one relay that entire unit has to be replaced. Yes a $1500 job for a 5 cent relay that Dodge decided to not make stperate from the tpim mother board. One other thing, I asked the dealership if th toim could be the issue and they said we have had problems with them but never for you year vehicle. That is why they were so sure it was the fuel pump. Online they have an after market kit that you can buy if you have some electrical skills so you can bypass the relay in the tpim. It's such a problem that a company is making money by producing an after market item to fix the issue. Knowing this I can't understand why there has not been a recall. Especially being it's so expensive to fix properly.
Truck makes loud rumbling sounds on bottom. There is a major electrical issue with the truck that drains battery resulting in the truck not starting. Stranded many places because of this issue
Tipm replacement with only 53,700 miles on the truck. The tipm can prevent airbags from deploying and makes the vehicle completely unsafe. The vehicle will not start without replacing the module. This is a known issue with multiple complaints for many Dodge vehicles, including durango, town and country etc.
