2k12 RT went in to service dept on the advice of DodgeCares due to many frequent engine stalls on start up. I wanted to have truck looked over even if R09 parts were not yet available. Amazingly enough I get a voicemail from the parts dept notifying me that recall parts had come in and to make an appointment for repair. Mind you the truck was already sitting there at 7am. In any event the fuel pump relay was now repaired with an external relay. The problem now was when they took truck off the lift from doing an alignment, the truck stalled on start up a couple of times. I was told it gave another code reading. Sorry I don't have paperwork handy for exact code, but maybe I can explain. I was told it had to do with the key being reprogrammed because the computer was not recognizing it by vin, therefore the security feature was kicking in to shut the engine down as if it were being stolen. Service advisor told me to monitor start ups and if it continues it could be an ignition/starter issue. The next day my wife said the truck stalled 5xs in a row on start up using her key, not the spare that was reprogrammed. While on vac this wk we used the spare and truck did not have a single stall. Guess in so many words if you get R09 bulletin repaired, it may not be the cure all. I got my fingers crossed. Now I gotta get a new fuel cap..another post.FYI dealer who repaired mine was in Suresky Dodge Goshen NY so the replacement parts should be out there.

 

Thanks for sharing, PortAuthorityCop. Is your vehicle back at the dealership now?

 

No. Truck was repaired that day.

 

Fuel cap was replaced and check fuel cap message disappeared after 2 days. Have not had any stalling issues upon start ups since truck went into shop. So far so good.

 

Great, I'm happy to hear that!

 

Suresky??? They still around? First vehicle I ever purchased came from them over 35 years ago. They were in a very old building then that I think they were in since prohibition was the law of the land.

We've had family members work there as mechanics before I was born...

 

Hahaha...Suresky was really one of the 1st dealerships in Orange County. They are still there going strong.

 

I was having intermittent stating problems on our 2012 Citadel 3.6. Took it in to the dealer, where they did the R09 recall, ran a series of tests, said couldn't find any problems. The recall seems to have fixed the starting issues, and we will see as we leave in the morning for a 2,000 mile trip. Since it was a recall, I was surprised to have a bill for the diagnostics on the starting.

Recall R09 is specific for the TIPM causing fuel pump relay failure. Ain't no way on earth you should have been charged for an intermittent start failure. I'd raise hell...

 

Yeah you should not have been issued a bill. All diagnostics and key re program were covered free of charge. I have heard people saying software updates were required under their own vehicles circumstances that they were being charged for but that's it. Enjoy and have a safe trip.
