2014 Ram 1500 Fuel System Problems

Your fuel gauge may not work properly and always shows empty even when your tank has fuel, causing your check engine light to stay on. This makes it impossible to know how much gas you have, and you risk running out of fuel unexpectedly while driving. The fix will likely involve replacing the fuel level sensor or the gauge cluster.

While changing your oil, you or a mechanic noticed that the front fuel tank strap had come loose from the frame because the mounting location had rusted through. The T-shaped portion of the strap fell away from the frame as a result. This is a serious issue because a loose fuel tank could shift or drop, potentially causing fuel leaks or tank damage.

Took truck to dealership, 2014 Ram 1500. They found front fuel tank strap has rusted out of its “T” hock position. Similar to the issue with 2008-2012 Rams. Very dangerous. Cannot drive in this condition

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the fuel tank frame bracket had detached, and the fuel tank was hanging loose. The vehicle was taken to three independent mechanics, who determined that the frame rail bracket and fuel tank straps needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance because the vehicle was imported from Canada. The contact was advised to contact a customs broker for assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the fuel tank of the vehicle unexpectedly detached from the vehicle. The contact was able to attach the fuel back to the frame of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank bracket frame was severely corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 190,831.

Fuel tank strap rotted at the frame rail and pulled out, will now not pass inspection and was for some reason not included in other 2014 ram 1500 recall for same problem. We didnt notice it was broken we were told when we took it for inspection.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact was an independent dealer. The contact stated that upon receiving the vehicle back into inventory due to repossession, the contact was aware of an unrepaired open recall on the vehicle. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the dealer by the previous owner. The manufacturer was made aware of the unrepaired open recall on the VIN, however the manufacturer declined to approve the unrepaired open recall.

FRONT FUEL TANK STRAP RUSTED AND BROKE. LUCKILY TRUCK WAS AT HOME WHEN I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. FRONT OF TANK IS ONLY INCHES FROM THE GROUND AND COULD PRESENT A MAJOR HAZARD IF I CONTINUED TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE.

We were driving down the highway and heard a weird grinding type noise. We pulled right over to check what was wrong and noticed the fuel tank strap mount had broken apart at the frame from corrosion. Causing it to rest against the driveshaft and creating a deep groove in the driveshaft its self .

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start, and the ignition would continue to turn. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the fuel system was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the dealer notified the contact of a misdiagnosis and the crank case ventilation system and the body control module were damaged in the process of repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 142,399.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, the brake lights remained illuminated. The brake and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the fuel gauge failed to display the correct fuel level, and the cruise control was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who determined that the electrical system had failed, but the contact was unaware of what repairs were needed. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Getting a code for fuel system sensor. After filling the tank, it reads full until around 70 miles and it drops and stays on empty. Have to go strictly by mileage to empty and that is not fool proof.

My 2014 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi is constantly displaying the check engine light. Computer scans reveal it is the fuel level sensor. This appears to be a very common problem for this era of Ram trucks. So many comments in Ram forums and on YouTube. This should be a recall due to the stock ones constantly being worn out. Videos and comments online show that mileage does not play a part in failure, as this is happening on vehicles with as little as 60,000 miles and up. This should also be a recall as this should not be attempted by vehicle owners without repair knowledge. So many videos online about jacking up the bed and being supported by 2x4 boards or if removing the gas tank, the static electricity concern. Though this code has come up at least twice before, I am including the most recent issue. I simply refill my truck with the highest premium to help clear the problem. It has worked thus far, but many others complain about the problem also resulting in a failed fuel gauge that constantly shows empty.

Took the truck to Larry H Miller Ram in Surprise AZ for the high pressure fuel pump recall on 29 Nov. Picked up the truck on [XXX]. About 1.5-2 miles down the road the truck started spraying fuel everywhere, losing traction. Was on a main road so I had to go about a mile before I could pull off the road safely. Called the dealership to come get me and the truck. Service advisor let me know the low pressure line fitting had failed! When I picked the truck up again on 3 Dec, the advisor told me that they are being pushed by the manufacturer to re-use one time use fittings and that is what failed on my truck! UNACCEPTABLE. Fortunately I was on a 45mph road not the freeway doing 70! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel sensor fail. Common reported issue amongst this vehicle that has not been taken care of.

Gas tank strap bracket. Gas tank strap bracket rusted off the frame and tank was hanging off. Went to closest shop where he identified the problem and fixed it ($1431.00). This is a know problem and a letter stating that the warranty period for the “tank strap mounting” was extended. We sent the bill to FCA US LLC customer Center and they refused to cover the cost.

Fuel sensor does not report accurate amount of gasoline in Tanks

Gas tank strap fell off, tank was hanging, gouged my drive shaft. Frame where strap sit in is all rusted out. Strap will not stay up. Need to bring attention to this as it could if been a very hazardous condition, as a firefighter this should be under warranty.

Fuel sending unit high voltage code

Spoke to dealer, to date, my truck is or has been repaired after an extensive time at the dealership. I was informed that the reporting was done incorrectly and should be updated within the next few months.

I filled my ram with gas and a gas tank strap fell through the frame. The frame around the strap failed while the rest of the frame looks to be in good condition.

Fuel tank strap bracket has broken. Dealers and Ram customer service refuse to cover the repairs even though there is a technical service bulletin related to this issue. They state since my vehicle was originally from Canada the extended warranty is void.

With less than 50,000 miles on the vehicle, the fuel sensor went out and the check engine light came on. I replaced the fuel sensor and the fuel pump and it still did not correct the issue. After doing some research, I found this is known and common issue that is deserving of a recall.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 75 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that there was information that the vehicle was losing fuel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, a diagnostic report was not provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Front fuel tank bracket mount has failed at the frame. Front of fuel tank was hanging down below frame of truck. Rear bracket appears to be failing at same rate. Had they both failed at the same time the fuel tank would have fallen off into the roadway endangering others with a large object and 20+ gallons of diesel spilling. Along with the tank laying in the road the vehicle would have stopped running causing me to be immobile in the road leaving potential for a collision from the rear. No warning lamps or symptoms were present at the time. I can provide more detailed pictures when I remove tank to seek alternative repairs

Recall z46 states Dealers will replace the HPFP, and inspect and replace, if necessary, additional fuel system components, free of charge. After my dealer replaced fuel pump additional fuel system components failed, after dealer inspection I was told they only would change HPFP not honoring full recall for replacement of additional fuel system components. Putting me at risk of the original problem this recall was supposed to fix. My vehicle was fine with no engine check lights before I brought it for recall z46 after the first 10 miles since the recall i have 3 check engine light codes relating to fuel system.now it's sitting at the dealership lot with repairs to be completed.

Regarding [XXX] . I made an appointment to get the Important Safety Recall for the High Pressure Fuel Pump repaired. When I took the vehicle in for the repair on [XXX] I was informed that they did not have the part and they had been waiting a year for parts. Why I wasn't informed of this when I made the appointment is beyond me. If this Safety Recall is so important why is this dealership unable to obtain the parts? This is unacceptable and needs to be rectified for safety of the traveling public. The dealership in question is SHOTTENKIRK CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM, 4970 E. Highway 377, Granbury, TX 76049. Phone (817) 279-1500. Thank you for your attention to this matter. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Fuel Level Sensor A Circuit - P0463. Yes, available for inspection. The Fuel level sensor cuts out and stops reporting fuel levels. This can lead to running out of gas on the highway or other dangerous situations that put the driver and others at risk. Also, the computer monitors stop reporting, therefore other aspects of the vehicle are compromised when the fuel level sensor stops working. The dealer confirms this is a common problem on this vehicle. Yes the vehicle was inspected by the dealer. The warning lamp check engine light comes on when the system fails. there is no prior warning.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle drove over a bump and heard an abnormal scraping sound coming from the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspection of the vehicle, the contact discovered that the front fuel tank strap pulled through the frame and began to rub against the driveshaft. As a result of the failure, the fuel tank started to hang off the vehicle. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 171,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to pull to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle was able to be restarted. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed a failure with the fuel pump. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

I see there is a recall on some trucks of the same model for fuel tank strap. I looked at mine and notice one of the straps is broken. I can not find the recall for my truck but others have one.

Safety Recall Z46 has not been resolved, for 18 months, due to "parts not available"! If it's truly a SAFETY issue, how can this not be addressed in a timely fashion?

The fuel sensor keeps failing and I have to replace . This is the 3rd one and the dealer and or company knows that it is defective and will not recall. Everytime I get it repaired it costs me 1200.00 because you have to drop fuel tank to get to. The fuel pump and sensor causes the truck not to start and the fuel gauge will not work . Also the straps holding the fuel tank are suspect as well for coming loose and causing fire.

TWO YEARS AGO MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR WENT BAD AND STOPPED READING MY GAS LEVEL. I HAD TO ORDER A NEW SENSOR ,FROM THE DEALER. WHICH COMES WITH A FUEL PUMP AND HAVE MY GAS TANK DROPPED TO REPLACE. THE PART HAS A ONE YEAR WARRANTY AND THE TOTAL COST IS APPR $900 TO FIX. NOW SIX MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED. MY GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. A DIAGNOSTIC READER POINTS TO MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR. I CHECKED YOUTUBE AND RAM FORUMS TO SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT RAM REFUSES TO ADDRESS. CAN WE GET JUSTICE HERE?

Front fuel tank T strap has become corroded and detached from bracket causing fuel tank to hang down low in front and shakes while driving. Recall #18v-160 pertains to this specific issue for people like myself who live in salt belt BUT it only includes ram 1500’s up to year 2012 however 2013-2014 rams have this same exact T strap as the one recalled. This is a huge safety issue as it could cause a fire. I should not have to pay for this repair when Chrysler knows it’s a faulty part. I don’t understand why that recall wouldn’t cover 2014 ram 1500’s when it’s exactly the same as the 2012 covered ram 1500’s.

This is in regard to NHTSA recall 22V-406. This recall has been in effect for over a year, with the possibility of the vehicle shutting down while driving causing a crash. They have not issued a remedy in a timely manner. Can the NHTSA please follow up as this is a safety issue. Thanks.

The fuel gauge and fuel sensor is faulty in my 2014 Ram 1500 and there are thousands of owners for Ram 1500s with the exact same issue. This should be a National recall. My vehicle is currently on a full tank but reads this way.

the fuel tank straps disconnected, it appears there was a recall on the 2009-2012 ram 1500 trucks. The issue persists in the later years as well, 2 of the 3 straps disconnected.

Over a year ago I received a recall for my 2014 Eco Diesel 1500 truck for Z46 recall for a high pressure fuel pump, I called numerous time for repair but was told the part was not available. On 6/29/2023 while traveling on the highway, the truck loss power and I had to make an emergency stop on the side of the road, with trucks and cars zipping pass me, I got there safely and called a tow truck. Vehicle was towed to Leith Dodge Ram, in Wendell, NC for repair. They told me the fuel pump exploded and there was shards in the engine. The Service Manager Doug Welch said it would be fixed as they are responsible because of the recall. They don't answer any messages I left and refuse to let me know when I will get my truck back. Please help!!! They need to fix it or replace it. Thank you in advance for your help

Like the 2011,2012 rams, the front support strap for the gas tank failed. (The tank is being held on by a ratchet strap) Going to call a dealer for repair but heard the recall was extended to 2018:

This is an ongoing problem where if my fuel level gets down to about a quarter of a tank the truck will spurt and stall. I try to keep a minimum half tank at most times. This recall has been about a year now with no remedy in place. This is a true safety issue and needs to be resolved and all the service tech's say is there's no remedy at this time. I would like to trade/sell this vehicle but it should be sold with a safety recall like this. Why is nothing being done about this.

Fuel Level sensor fails, purchased truck in 2022 and it was fine, filled up one day and check engine light came out, noticed when I fill up again it goes off. This is a faulty part the "fuel level sensor" 1,000s of forums and youtube videos about it, can't believe Ram hasn't recalled this.

In reference to: NHTSA Recall #22V-406, FCA Recall #Z46. On June 9, 2022 FCA contacted me by mail to inform me that the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) on my 2014 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel is being recalled. I was informed that I would be contacted when parts are available. As of today (a year later, June 19, 2023), the parts remain unavailable. My dealership said they have no parts and I have to talk to the MOPAR Recall department. The MOPAR Recall department stated I have to resolve the issue at the dealership. Meanwhile, neither the dealership nor MOPAR claim to have parts and will not repair the vehicle. MOPAR and the dealership have me running circles and neither of them claim to have parts or a way to get the parts so the recall work can be completed on my vehicle. I think I'm getting the run-around.

My fuel pump disintegrated and contaminated the fuel delivery system. The dealer has had my car and the parts to fix it sinve April 11th, 2023 but the manufacturer will not approve the fix.

I have noticed the slight loss of power for the recall that is listed. It has been almost a year now and still no answer. I have contacted my dealer and they say it will be atleast till the end of the year. I have had some very close call instances, fortunately I have had no accidents. I have had to replace 2 fuel pumps. I really do not want to replace another one, but it seems as though they last about 6 months. I feel it would be appropriate to speed this proccess up or if i could get a rental until this recall is fixed. Thank you.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was shaking violently. There was an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who referred her to the dealer for assistance. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 187,000.

Front gas tank support failed dropping the front of the tank. Fuel tank made contact with driveshaft but no fuel was spilled. It appears the frame rusted and the actual strap didn't fail. I took new delivery of this 2014MY vehicle in Dec 2013. I will likely repair this myself but have not started repairs yet.

While driving I heard a sound under the truck. When I pulled over I looked under the truck and noted that one of the straps that holds the gas tank up had come loose. Further inspection noted that the strap had not broken, the part where it connected to the frame had rusted out and let the strap loose. When I looked into it I found out there was a safety recall for the same issue in prior model years. I had this repaired at Waldorf Dodge and they did not cover it under the previous recall. Please look into whether there have been other reports of the same issue for later model years than the recall covers.

Driving on down the roadway and went over a small pothole at approximately 35mph. Heard a loud bang underneath the vehicle. After parking the vehicle, I saw the front of the fuel tank was hanging close to the roadway. I found that the fuel tank strap had pulled out from the frame where it was seated. I researched the issue and saw a recall for 2009-2012 Dodge Ram pickups for the same reason (Safety Recall U04 / NHTSA 18V-160 Frame Bracket). It does not seem Ram/Dodge addressed this issue on the 2014 Dodge Ram. If I had not stopped my full 32 gallon fuel tank would have contacted the ground spilling fuel and possibly catching fire. This is very concerning consider this vehicle is a daily driver for me and my family (wife and four children). I believe this is an issue that also needs to be recalled considering it was done for the 2012 Rams already.

Front has gas strap pulled away from rusted mount portion on frame leading to a lowering of the fuel tank leading to safety hazard of fuel tank no longer being sufficiently secured to the frame of the truck. Faulty mount of strap to frame caused this issue during normal driving conditions.. was informed of recall for issue on ram trucks up to 2012. My year (2014) does not appear to be included.

There has been an active recall on my vehicle for over 6 years and there still isn't a repair available. I am stuck driving a car that at any moment could be subject to a crash. I have two small children, and while I know recalls happen, not engineering a fix in over 6 years, is ridiculous. Please help

Fuel tank strap (rear) rusted and fell off causing the gas tank to hang down dangerously close to the road. The bracket that holds the "T" end of the strap rusted through and the strap fell out. *THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE FOR 08-12 MODELS* I previously owned a 2012 model and had this taken care of under the recall. The 2014 model looks no different to me, but there is no recall issued for it.

I was driving my truck, on a highway, with 4 kids in it when I heard a horrible grinding noise. I stopped and looked under the truck and found that the fuel tank was hanging by 1 strap. I would imagine that if I drove further or hit a bump, the truck would've exploded. The bracket that holds the strap was completely rusted so the strap let go. I did some research online and found that this is a common problem with these trucks. How can there not be a recall??? Luckily I had some racket straps and I crawled under the truck, on the highway, jacked up the tank and strapped it in. I was horrified. I keep my truck in almost pristine condition and with my research, I found out that there were no drain holes installed on the strap mounts which would cause them to prematurely rust. This must be fixed immediately to prevent fatalities.

Gas tank strap broke

Fuel sensor failure - fuel gauge no longer operational and check engine light on.

The contact's husband owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated that the fuel level warning light would intermittently illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic where the mechanic informed her that the fuel tank strap had rusted and needed to be replaced. While driving 25 MPH, the fuel gauge “sensor off” message was displayed on the instrument panel and the fuel gauge began fluctuating from Empty to Full. The independent mechanic informed her that there was an unstated recall on the vehicle and referred her to a dealer. The dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure and both informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 2 MPH and coming to a stop at a traffic sign, he heard a loud scraping noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact pulled over and observed that the fuel tank was sagging and a support strap was detached. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the supports where the fuel tank straps were attached had rusted completely and the fuel tank had become loosened. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.

The bracket for the gas tank was rusted and fell off while I was driving home last night. The front of the gas tank dropped down about 6”. I am still waiting to hear from the dealer to see if it is covered because I know there were safety issues with other years with Ram trucks. Then I will have to get it towed there and repaired.

Fuel Sensor Failure, sporadic. Causes check engine light to illuminate which causes vehicle to not perform optimally and runs in alternate mode - not eco. Also sporadic complete failure of fuel gauge displaying no fuel. Has become more frequent over time. Common problem with many Ram trucks

Fuel level sensor failure at 67,000 miles. Known issue with RAM and yet they will not cover under warranty or recall. Driving in stop and go traffic only to watch my fuel gauge unexpectedly go down to empty not knowing why. Had to get towed to shop because did not know what was going on. Shop said was fuel gauge sensor and cost me over $900 to replace plus anxiety being towed in rush hour traffic.

The front strap that holds the fuel tank broke free from the bracket that secures it. The gas tank dropped down and could have fallen off. After inspection the bracket was found to be rusted to the point that it could no longer hold the "T" end of the gas tank strap. Once one side of the strap broke free the hanging strap was grinding against the drive shaft. That was the only sign that there was a problem. This would certainly be an ignition source. There was a recall for this same problem, but it only included Ram pickups to 2011.

I believe the fuel sensor problem I am having is a design failure by RAM and should be resolved due to a recall as a potential safety hazard. My fuel sensor fails which in turn, drops my fuel gauge to empty. Thus, I cannot tell how much fuel is left in the tank. This also engages the check engine light which does not allow the engine to go into ECO mode. There are at least two issues in play here. The first, as previously mentioned, I have not idea how much gas I have left. Since I drive on the highway to work every week day, this is a huge safety issue as I could run out of gas on the middle of the highway. This is not only a danger to myself, but other motorists as well. The second issue being the disengaging of ECO mode. This leads to higher gas consumption, thus lower gas mileage which would refute the state gas mileage that RAM claims for the truck. This leads to burning more gas, which leads to an empty tank (see above for safety reasons of an empty gas tank). I have searched online and there are hundreds of other people experiencing the same problem. If you want to prevent the deaths of hundreds of people, you will issue a recall. Your decision on this directly affects the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of motorists and I look forward to hearing your decision on this.

Fuel will not go in tank and splashes back. Fuel pump continues to shut off and cannot safely fill gas tank.

I have a faulty fuel level sensor on my 2014 Ram 1500. I went to my nearest dealer and they informed me that it was a common issue with Ram trucks. It was enough of an issue that they were aware but not enough for Ram to recall. To repair this sensor would cost between $700-$900. Please recall this already. It stinks to gauge how much fuel I have left based on how many miles I drove.

Another fuel sending unit gone bad. Too many complaints and no recall yet? Happens to all ram trucks

Fuel sending unit bad at 55,000 miles. This is unacceptable for a unit to go bad at this short of time. Everyone on the internet is complaining about the cost to replace this item and how often that it fails on all the Ram trucks. There should be a recall on this item immediately, as the cost to replace unit is in the 600- 900 dollar range, depending who fixes it. Then they also recommend you replace the hangers at the same time as they are also rotting out. Please do something about this and help the consumer beat this back to the manufacture to do it right!!! Already contacted Ram about this issue and the high cost of repair.

The front fuel strap broke free from it's connection point to the frame, letting the front of the fuel tank sag towards the ground. It appears the connection slot on the frame has corroded and the strap pulled free from the connection slot on the frame. The issue could have been a lot worse if I had been traveling on the freeway buy luckily it broke on a residential street. The problem has been known to be found in 09-12 ram pickups. No current recalls for a 2014. A local dealership will be looking at it on Friday June 18th. The truck can be available to inspect but I currently have no other means of transportstion, so I plan on getting the strap fixed asap. There were no warning lights or any other indication of the strap failing prior to it coming free. I heard an odd humming/vibrating noise, initially thought it was an issue with the tires, but when I pulled over on the side of the road to inspect what was making the noise, I found the tank sagging and the front strap was no longer supporting it. I was able to get underneath the truck and verify that the strap was no longer attached to the frame, the fuel tank is temporarily being supported by a ratchet strap that I installed myself.

I HEARD A NOTIFICATION TONE AND LOOKED SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO E AND THEN WARNING FLASHED "FUEL SENSOR FAIL". I CAN NOT BE THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS REPORTED THIS CAUSE IF YOU JUST GOOGLE "FUEL SENSOR FAIL" NO BRAND VEHICLE MENTIONED IN THE SEARCHED EVERYTHING AND COUNTLESS STORIES COME UP ABOUT PEOPLE WITH 4TH GEN RAM WITH THIS PROBLEM. RAM IS TOTALLY ANNOYING THIS PART THEY PUT ON THEIR TRUCKS THAT ARE DOOMED TO FAIL. IM HOPING MAYBE YOU CAN HELP MAKE THEM PUT A RECALL OUT ON THIS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

UPON FUELING VEHICLE TO THE FULL POSITION AFTER RUNNING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IT'S BELIEVED THAT THE FLOAT WITHIN THE GAS TANK HAS A WEAR SPOT ON THE SYSTEM. AFTER FUEL LEVEL GETS TO THE THREE-QUARTER FULL POSITION ENGINE LIGHT GOES OUT.

WHENEVER I GO TO FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS THE FUEL NOZZLE GETS STUCK ON THE FILLER NECK AND IS REALLY HARD TO GET OFF, I USUALLY HAVE TO HOLD THE VAPOR SYSTEM CAP THAT IS ON THE NOZZLE IN SO IT WILL DISPENSE FUEL AND NOT LOCK ON FILLER NECK, I HAVE READ THIS WAS AN ISSUE WITH 2015 MODEL BUT MINE IS A 2014 AND I CANT EVEN LET MY WIFE OR DAUGHTER FILL TRUCK WITH GAS BECAUSE THEY CANT REMOVE FROM FILLER NECK.

FUEL GAUGE FAILURE. UPON RESEARCH THIS SO A VERY COMMON ISSUE. WHEN FUEL GAUGE REACHES 1/2 TANK, IT WILL FLASH EMPTY AND FUEL LEVEL LOW. ALSO FORCES CHECK ENGINEER LIGHT ON.

INTERMITTENT FAILING FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FOR VEHICLE AT LOW MILEAGE

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY MY FUEL SENSOR FAILING AND SAYING THAT MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAD 3/4 OF A TANK. NOW, MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, BUT THE FUEL SENSOR WORKS AS LONG AS MY TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES POST-FILL UP, THE FUEL SENSOR STOPS WORKING AND READS ON EMPTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE UNLESS IT'S COMPLETELY FULL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS LINE OF RAM TRUCKS.

FUEL SENSOR FAIL - READS ONLY UP TO A HALF A TANK OR MORE, ONCE BELOW THE SENSOR READS TANK AS EMPTY.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON HIGHWAY WITH MY 12 AND 3 YR OLD DAUGHTERS. WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A FUEL SENSOR MODULE WARNING. THIS HAPPENED. BEFORE WHEN THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 27000 MILES AND IT WAS FIXED WHILE IN WARRANTY. HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR MODULE THE TRUCK NOW HAS 69971 MILES. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT IF THESE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING

THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE 54,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT'S ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. THE GAS HAND WON'T WORK EITHER.

CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR FAIL, I'VE HAD 4 FUEL PUMPS PUT ON THE TRUCK IN THE SIX YEARS I'VE HAD IT. AT ONE POINT THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK FOR A MONTH TRYING TO FIX. I JUST CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP LAST WEEK, PICKED IT UP FRIDAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON TODAY. IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH ISSUE IT'S COUNTLESS OTHERS, THAT'S HOW I FOUND MY WAY TO MAKE A COMPLAINT.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH DODGE RAM TRUCKS. DODGE RAM IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS A MONETARY BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER OF THIS TRUCK. ONCE IT COMES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF YOUR FUEL LEVEL. PROOF NEEDED JUST TYPE IN 2014 DODGE RAM FUEL SENSOR FAILURE IN YOUR SEARCH ENGINE ON YOUR COMPUTER!! ONLY OCCURS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. REPLACED AT 151,880 MILES AND NOW AT 162,000 IT'S GONE BAD AGAIN. PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED AT 40,000 MILES AND I BELIEVE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPLACED SENSOR ON ONE OF MY SERVICE VISITS AND DIDN'T TELL ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL 151,880 MILES. I WAS HAVING OTHER ISSUES AT TIME AND I THINK THEY THOUGHT THIS WOULD SHUT ME UP !!

THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO ZERO AND GAS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE GAS TANK GETS BELOW 3/4 TANK FULL, AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING, OR JUST SITTING IN DRIVEWAY. *TR

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE AT 45,000 MILES. SAME COMPLAINT AS SO MANY OTHERS. FULL TANK WILL DISPLAY AS FULL ON GAUGE. AFTER ONLY 20-30 MILES THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK UNTIL I'M STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MUST WATCH ODOMETER AND HOPE I MAKE IT TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT ANY MISTAKES. *TR

FUEL PUMP SENSOR IS NO LONGER WORKING. TRUCK HAS 95K MILES ON IT AND HASN'T BEEN WORKING FOR THE PAST 500 MILES OR SO. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND ALSO MY FUEL GAUGE COMES ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM GROCERY STORE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED AT LOCAL AUTO STORE AND SAID I HAD A FUEL PUMP THAT HAD GONE BAD.*DT*JB

ENGINE LIGHT ON DUE TO LOW FUEL SENSOR BAD. WHEN THE GAS TANK REACHES A CERTAIN LEVEL THE GAS GAUGE GOES TO E. *TR

LAST YEAR THEY DID AN EMISSIONS UPDATE ON MY TRUCK. SINCE THEN THERE IS TERRIBLE ACCELERATOR PEDAL LAG. I ALREADY HAD A DOZEN OR MORE CLOSE CALLS WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC. IT TAKES LITERALLY 2-3 SECONDS AFTER I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE TRUCK TO START MOVING. IT MAKES DRIVING THE TRUCK DANGEROUS IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL LEVEL, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND FUEL SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT STOPPED WORKING. READS EMPTY. APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE.

AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES THE FUEL GAGE BECAME ERRATIC AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. THE TROUBLE MESSAGE SYSTEM INDICATES A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF OTHER RAM OWNERS INDICATE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR REQUIRING THE BED TO BE REMOVED (COST TO REPAIR NEAR $1000). THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIALLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING UNLESS THE OWNER IS DILIGENT ABOUT TRACKING MILEAGE AND FILLING UP EACH TIME THE MILAGE REACHES 275 MILES.

2014 RAM PICKUP WITH 68K MILES. DRIVING WITH 3/4 TANK OF GAS ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO E AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL WARNING POPPED UP. CALLED DEALERSHIP, SAID IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACE A LOT OF THESE A MONTH, BALLPARKED COST TO BE AROUND $1,000. SPOKE TO SEVERAL LOCAL MECHANICS THAT SAID THE EXACT SAME THING, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR THAT REQUIRES THE TANK TO BE DROPPED TO FIX. WHEN TANK IS FULL, TRUCK FUNCTIONS FINE. ONCE TANK DROPS TO APPROX. 3/4 OF A TANK, EVERYTHING COMES BACK (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL). CHRYSLER CANNOT BE PUTTING INFERIOR PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND EXPECT CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THEIR GREED.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AFTER COMPLETION OF A TURN. AFTER RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. ON THE DATE OF 2/17/2020 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT AND PROBLEM WAS EXPLAINED, DEALER ADVISED A $600+ CHARGE TO REPAIR SAID DENSOR

2014 DODGE RAM. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR. *LD *JS

FUEL SENSOR HAS AN ERROR AND READS EMPTY WHEN FUEL LEVEL IS LESS THAN 3/4 OF A TANK. THE READING IS CORRECT BETWEEN 3/4 AND FULL BUT ONCE THE LEVEL DROPS BELOW 3/4 IT SAYS FUEL SENSOR FAIL AND THEN READS EMPTY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL TANK SHOWED EMPTY, EVEN WHILE THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE. THE FUEL SENSOR FAILED WHICH RECORDED THE FUEL LEVEL AS EMPTY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,500.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH WEST VIRGINIA, PULLING MY SAILBOAT, I GOT A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT; AS I WAS COMING UP TO THE BECKLEY SERVICE AREA, I DECIDED TO STOP, FIND AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND GET THE CODE READ. JUST AS I WAS ENTERING THE SERVICE AREA, I LOST POWER, SIMULTANEOUSLY HAVING THE DASHBOARD FLASH A "TPS SENSOR" WARNING, AS I DESCENDED INTO THE REST AREA, I REALIZED THAT I HAD ALSO LOST MY BRAKES (BUT NOT THE TRAILER BRAKES) AND THEN, WHILE COASTING INTO THE PARKING LOT, A WV TURNPIKE PU PULLED ALONGSIDE WITH THE DRIVER GESTICULATING AT ME, YELLING THAT I NEEDED TO GET OUT OF MY TRUCK, IT WAS ON FIRE. IMMEDIATELY UPON STOPPING, THE FRONT END BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES, ULTIMATELY BURNING COMPLETELY UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FUEL SENDER UNIT FAILED TO INDICATE THE FUEL LEVEL IN THE VEHICLE AS THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (CLOVIS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM395 WEST HERNDON AVE, CLOVIS, CA 93612 (888) 696-0723) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

MY VEHICLE LOST SIGNAL FROM THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK. THE SENSOR NOW ONLY WORKS WHEN THE TANK IS BETWEEN FULL AND 3/4 FULL. IT IS NOW UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAR YOU CAN TRAVEL BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. PEOPLE COULD BECOME STRANDED IN A DESOLATE AREA OR UNDER ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND NOT BE ABLE TO GET HELP.

AT ABOUT 49,000 MILES THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL DAYS THE LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF ON ITS OWN WHILE THE ENGINE WAS OFF. I THOUGHT THAT IT MAY BEEN THE GAS CAP, SO I REPLACED IT. THEN, WHILE DRIVING, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN, INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. I HAD IT CHECKED BY O' REILLYS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM, PO463=2 6391451. WHEN I TURNED ON THE ENGINE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS I NOTICED THAT WHEN MY GAS WAS LESS THAN 3/4 FULL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING. MY GAS GAUGE AND MILE RANGE DROPPED TO ZERO. WHEN I FILLED THE GAS TANK THE GAUGE WENT BACK TO FULL WITH THE NUMBER OF MILE RANGE. AGAIN, WHEN THE GAS WAS ABOUT 3/4, THE GAUGE DROPPED OFF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOW REMAINED ON CONSTANTLY.

FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, AN AUDIBLE CHIME WAS HEARD AND THE FUEL LEVEL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. COUNTRY TRUCK & AUTO (13042 COUNTY RD 20, FORT LUPTON, CO 80621, (303) 857-1281) WAS CONTACTED AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

WHILE DRIVING, FUEL SENSOR FAIL NOTICE DISPLAYED ON DASH AND FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY.33,000 MILES ON 2014 RAM 1500. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FAULTY FUEL SENDING UNIT RESISTANCE UNIT. DEALER WANTS $800 TO FIX.

THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE IT STARTS WITH THE 2009 MODEL YEAR TO THE 2018 MODEL YEAR. RAM FORUMS HAVE SHOWN THAT OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE BEGIN FROM 20K MILES AND UP FROM THERE. THE ISSUE IS THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING AND READ EMPTY. CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON WHICH CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NO LONGER OPERATE IN ECO ( DESCRIBE 4 CYLINDERS FOR BETTER FUEL ECONOMY) MODE UNTILL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. SOME OWNERS AS WELL AS MY SELF HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE STALL OUT, FORCING ME TO NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. USUALLY STARTS RIGHT UP AND THE CHECK ENGINE WILL REMAIN ON. WITH MY VEHICLE IF THE TANK IS FULL THE GUEST WORKS AND I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM UNTILL 40-60 MILES INTO DRIVING WHERE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME BACK ON AND AT TIMES CAUSING THE STALL. OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THE GUAGE DOES NOT WORK 100% OF THE TIME. THERE IS A BIG NUMBER OF OWNERS WHO HAVE JUST GOTTEN IT FIXED BUT MOST JUST LIVE WITH THE ISSUE SINCE IT'S NOT CAUSING A STALL. I CANNOT STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF A RECALL ON THESE RAMS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT ARE DEALING WITH THE ISSUE . AND THE NUMBER OF UN REPORTED CLAIMS TO YOUR AGENCY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FOR THE MANY OWNERS WHO HAVE FAILED TO REPORT TO YOU THIS ONGOING PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AND FIAT IS WELL AWARE OF. THEY HAVE EVEN ADVISED PEOPLE THAT THE NHTSA ISSUES RECALLS NOT THE COMPANY. JUST SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE WAITING FOR YOUR AGENCY TO ISSUE ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND FOR THE ORGANIZATION YOU WORK FOR.

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CONSTANTLY GOES IN AND OUT ON THIS VEHICLE LEAVING THE GAS GAUGE INOPERABLE LEAVING DRIVERS GUESSING HOW MUCH FUEL IS ACTUALLY IN THE TANK. WHEN TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL THE GAUGE WORKS FINE AS SOON AS THE NEEDLE STARTS TO MOVE FROM FULL THE VEHICLE CHIMES AND THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THE GAS GAUGE INSTANTLY DROPS TO EMPTY AND THE DASH READS FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL THIS IS KNOW TO BE A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WITH FCA AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROPLEM

THE VEHICLE HAD A BAD EGR COOLER THAT CAUSED THE COOLANT TO ENTER THE COMBUSTION SYSTEM CAUSING EXCESS OVERHEATING OF THE EXHAUST MELTING SEVERAL EXHAUST COMPONENTS. IT WAS HIT ENOUGH TO POTENTIAL CAUSE A FIRE.

FUEL GAGE DROPS TO EMPTY AND CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. IT HAPPENS UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE OR WHEN DRIVING.

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY DASH GAUGES GOES OUT AND THROWING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE RESULTED IN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A CIRCUIT HIGH . THE FUEL SENSORS IS DEFECTIVE AT 61000 MILES AND CAUSING MY DASH GAUSES NOT TO WORK.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE. GAS GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AS WELL AS "FUEL SENSOR FAILURE" LIGHT. THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THESE RAM TRUCKS. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME TO ME WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS A WARNING BELL, THEN THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT, AND THEN GAS GAUGE DROPPED TO DEAD EMPTY. HAS REMAINED THERE SINCE

HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LEAK CAUSING FUEL AT A HIGH PRESSURE TO BE SPRAYED ALL OVER ENGINE COMPARTMENT, EXHAUST SYSTEM, BRAKES AND COAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE WITH FUEL. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (70 MPH) A MIST OF VAPOR APPEARED BEHIND THE TRUCK CAUSING OTHER VECHICLES TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID THE FUEL BEING SPRAYED. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND MASSIVE FUEL SPILL COVERED THE CONCRETE AND DRIPPED FROM EVERY UNDERCARRIAGE LOWPOINT. SMOKE AND SIZZLING WAS OBSERVED AND WE FLED A SAFE DISTANCE FROM VEHICLE. THIS IS A REPEAT FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE. THIS IS THE FIFTH FAILURE AND IT HAS SEVERAL MORE ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE THE LEAK PRIOR TO CLOSING THE WORK ORDERS. FAILURE APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES OF BEING IN SERVICE. NO ROOT CAUSE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED FOR THIS FAILURE. VEHICLE IS IN THE POSSESSION OF FCA AND NO CLEAR PATH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME ON HOW THIS IS GOING TO BE RESOLVED AND I AM WITHOUT MY TRUCK. NO PATH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO REPAIR COMPONENTS THAT HAVE BEEN SEVERELY CONTAMINATED BY DIESEL (BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, VERSUS RUBBER COMPONENTS, ETC) THE ATTACHED PHOTO SHOWS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT POURED OUT IN THE DEALER SERVICE BAY. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVALABLE ON REQUEST. THE DATE IS FOR THE LATEST FAILURE. TODAY I AM AT 25 DAYS WITH NO CLEAR PATH TO CLOSE THIS CONCERN.

MOPAR FUEL SENSOR /PUMP GIVING INCORRECT READS TO THE GAUGE. CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ALSO NOT ABLE TO GET AN ACCURRATE READING OF FUEL LEVEL

I HAVE A 2014 RAM ECODIESEL AND RECENTLY GOT THE AEM UPDATE. NOW WHEN THE VEHICLE HASN'T STARTED FOR 24 HOURS, THERE IS NO ACCELERATION UPON START-UP. BY THAT I MEAN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS FOR UP TO 3 SECONDS. THEN IT IS VERY SLUGGISH. SO IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. THIS LAST FOR UP TO 5 MINUTES AFTER START-UP. THIS HAPPENS ON EVERY START-UP WHEN COLD.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS. DURING THIS TIME THE LIGHT HAS GONE OFF AND ON NUMEROUS TIMES. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO A FUEL SENSOR FAILURE DISPLAYED ON THE DASH. THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND THE REMAINING MILES UNTIL EMPTY SHOWS AS LOW MILES. THE FUEL SENSOR FAILURE GOES OFF AND ON DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE TANK BUT THE CHECK ENGINE STAYS ON NOW. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS REVIEWS ON THE RAM 1500 FROM 2012 THROUGH 2016 HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. MOST OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITH FAIRLY LOW MILES ON THEIR VEHICLES.

FUEL SENSORS SHOWS LOW FUEL SHORTLY ANFTER FILLING UP. SYSTEM FAILURE STARTED AROUND 60,000 MILES.

THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CONTINUES TO LEAK. I BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BRACKET BOLTS THAT BREAK. RAM CONTINUES TO REPAIR WITH THE SAME POOR QUALITY PARTS.

THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2014 RAM TRUCKS. THE FUEL SENDING UNIT WILL GO OUT SEND AN EML CODE AND THE FUEL GAUGE WILL DROP DOWN TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A FULL TANK. DODGE WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1000 TO REPLACE THIS, SINCE I AM OUTSIDE OF THE OEM WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS TO ME. IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING MY TRUCK AND HAD TO STOP AND TOP OFF THE GAS TANK OTHERWISE THE TRUCK COULD HAVE SHUT DOWN. IT HAD 3/4 TANK OF GAS IN IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BECOME A RECALL.

FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS RESULTED IN THE ACTIVATION OF THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP AND LOW FUEL MESSAGE. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT FCA IS WELL AWARE OF WITH THOUSANDS OF REPORTED CASES ONLINE.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2014 RAM 1500 AND THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT ON IT WITH ONLY 18000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY IT WAS PAST THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY COVERAGE SO IT'S NOT COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP. UPON RESEARCH, I HAVE LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE REPORTED BY MANY RAM OWNERS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND I FEEL IT IS A A SAFETY THREAT SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN YOUR VEHICLE. THIS COULD LEAD THE DRIVER TO BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND UNSAFE. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT THIS GETS TURNED INTO A RECALL. I REFUSE TO PAY OVER $1000 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED JUST SO CHRYSLER CAN MAKE MORE MONEY ON NON-RELIABLE EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLE CAN EITHER BE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION WHEN THE FUEL SENSOR HAS FAILED.

FUEL SENSOR IS WRECKED AT UNDER 50K MILES. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL SUDDENLY GO TO 0 WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON IMMEDIATELY AFTER LAST GAS FILL. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FOR RAMS, FAULTY PRODUCT BY FAULTY MANUFACTURING.

TRUCK MADE A LOUD PINGING NOISE, WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, TRUCK APPEARED TO CATCH FIRE, CAB FILLED UP WITH BLACK SMOKE WITH SOOT WITH A BURNING SMELL WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO SHUT DOWN. THREW A CODE OF LOW PRESSURE FUEL AND ENGINE LIGHT ON. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP, WHICH COULD NOT PULL UP CODES THROWN. CHANGED FUEL FILTER. COUPLE MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING ON A COUNTY ROAD, TRUCK THREW CODE ELECTRONIC IGNITION THROTTLE CONTROL, COULD NOT GET ANY PRESSURE, SMOKING UNDER HOOD AND FROM BEHIND. APPEARED TO HAVE CAUGHT FIRE AGAIN BUT TRUCK DID NOT SHUT DOWN AS IN 1ST SITUATION. HAD TOWED TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP. HAS BEEN THERE NOW FOR 14 DAYS. HAVING TO REPLACE EGR COOLER AND INTAKE MANIFOLD ALONG WITH A LOT OF SEALS AS I LEARNED THEY ARE PLASTIC AND MELTED DUE TO FIRE TWICE. WHY WOULD DODGE MAKE ANY INTAKE ESPECIALLY ON AN ECO DIESEL PLASTIC? SOUNDS LIKE ASKING FOR A FIRE ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. ALSO TOO...THESE PARTS BEING REPLACED AND BEING COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY ARE ALSO PART OF THE "ECO DIESEL SETTLEMENT" SETTLED ON MAY 3RD, 3019 WHICH MY TRUCK WAS TOWED ON MAY 2, WHICH IN THIS SETTLEMENT THEY AWARDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE EXACT PARTS BEING REPLACED. I CURRENTLY HAVE NO PICS OR DOCUMENTS AS TRUCK IS STILL CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP BEING WORKED ON AS I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED TASK TO REPAIR.

THE FUEL SENSOR FAILS AND CAUSES THE DRIVER TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE IN TRAFFIC. THE GAS GAUGE ONLY WORKS WHEN THE TANKS IS EXTREMELY FULL ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR FIVE MILES IT GOES THE GAUGE READS EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. AS A RESULT THERE IS NO WAY TO DETERMINE HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK.

FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP. THIS CAN CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES IF THE VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF GAS AND LEAVES THE DRIVER STRANDED AS THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE TANK. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH RAM TRUCKS AND A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS COUNTLESS PEOPLE THAT HAVE OR ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. OUT OF ALL OF MY YEARS DRIVING, I'VE NEVER KNOWN OF A SINGLE VEHICLE WITH THIS MANY FAILURES OF THIS TYPE.

WHILE DRIVING, FUEL GAUGE GOES TO EMPTY, DISPLAYS 0 MILES TO EMPTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AND SCREEN DISPLAYS "FUEL SENSOR FAIL". AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE THE GAUGE WILL GO BACK TO THE CORRECT LEVEL AS WILL THE MILES TO EMPTY, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON. THIS HAPPENS ANY TIME THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A COMPLETELY FULL GAS TANK, BUT IS ALSO SPORADIC AND DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME.

THE SENSOR ON THE DEF TANK IN THE RAM 1500 ECODISELS IS FAILING. INSTEAD OF BEING ABLE TO BUY A SENSOR TO REPLACE IT RAM IS MAKING YOU BUY A WHOLE TANK TO REPLACE THE SENSOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW OF AND RAM STILL REFUSES TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT.

2014 DODGE RAM TRUCK. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL SENSOR PROBLEMS. *LD *TR

VEHICLE FUEL GAGE GOES FROM FULL TO EMPTY ONCE THE GAGE REACHES HALF A TANK WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY WITH 69,000 MILES AND DISPLAY READS FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE ENGINE THE SERVICE LIGHT IS ON AND VECHICLE ECO MODE WILL NOT OPERATE. I PROCEEDS TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMBILES ON FEBRUARY 18 2019 CASE # 58020421 AND WAS DIRECTED BY THEM TO TAKE IT TO AN FCA CERTIFIED DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND CALL FCA BACK WITH THE RESULTS. THE DIAGNOTICS SHOULD AN ACTIVE FAULT IN THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND FCAS RESPONCE BACK WAS SINCE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ALL THE REPAIRS. MY MAIN COMPLAINT IS THIS IS A REACCURING PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL SENDING UNITS WITH MANY RAM OWNERS AND ALL FCA WILL TELL YOU IS TAKE IT TO YOUR DEALERSHIP. $476.00 LATER THEY REPLACED THE OLD SENDING UNIT WITH THE SAME OEM PART NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE IS A FAULTY PART AND THEY WILL ONLY WARRANTY THIS PART GOT 2 YEARS. FCA NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND IF THE COMPANY FEELS THAT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF RELACEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE EXPRESSED TO THE CUSTOMER WHEN FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THEM.

FUEL SENSOR FAILED AT 61K MILES. ECO MODE NOT AVAILABLE, UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK CREATES A DRIVING HAZARD REGARDING RUNNING OUT OF FUEL.

UNABLE TO FILL GAS TANK WHEN PUMPING GAS PAID THE DEALERSHIP TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO HAVE THEM SAY THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER TILL DEC AND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE . IT IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE WHEN TRYING TO GET GAS FOR THE VEHICLE CAUSE IT TAKES SO LONG TO FILL TANK AND NEED TO PUMP IT SO SLOW OR IT KICKS THE PUMP OFF.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR 50 MILES UNTIL EMPTY, IT WASN'T EMPTY I JUST FUELED UP THE DAY BEFORE, THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY GAS GAUGE WENT TO EMPTY....THEN IT READ FUEL SENSOR SO I TOPPED IT OFF, IT TOOK 8 GALLONS...THE FUEL SENSOR LIGHT WENT OFF BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON......NOW THE GAUGES DON'T WORK AT ALL.....

I HAVE 2 ISSUES TO REPORT ON THIS VEHICLE 1) THE TRUCK HAS LEFT US STRANDED TWICE AND REQUIRED A RIDE ON A ROLL BACK (WHO KNEW A LITTLE 1/2 TON PICKUP IS TOO BIG FOR MOST TOW TRUCKS). IN BOTH CASES WE HAD STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE OR DECLINE. THEN WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED WE MADE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN INTO A DECLINE OR INCLINE AND STALLED OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I THOUGHT IT WAS A CLOGGED FUEL FILTER, BUT DIDN'T THINK TO TRY PRIMING THE FUEL SYSTEM AND RESTARTING BEFORE REPLACING THE FILTER. THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES LATER I POURED 5 GALLONS OF DIESEL IN, PRIMED THE FUEL SYSTEM AND IT RESTARTED. I THEN FILLED THE TANK AND REALIZED THAT THERE WAS ABOUT 5 GALLONS LEFT WHEN IT STALLED. THIS CAUSED ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE FUEL WAS SLOSHING AROUND THE PUMP IN SCENARIOS AS DESCRIBED. WE LATER REALIZED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT DROP BELOW A 1/4 TANK AND NO LOW FUEL LIGHTS APPEAR. THE TRUCK WAS LATER DIAGNOSED AS HAVING A FAULTING FUEL SENDING UNIT. 2) THE SECOND ISSUE IS AT 51K MILES WE HAD A MAJOR DEF EMISSION SYSTEM FAILURE. THE FIRST EVENT PROVIDED 500 MILES OF WARNING BEFORE THE TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART. IT COST $2855 TO REPLACE A FAULT DEF TANK/SENSOR. THE SECOND TIME ONLY 1000 MILES LATER WE ONLY HAD 200 MILES WARNING AND COST $716 TO REPLACE A NOX SENSOR AND MODULE. IN BOTH CASES WE DROVE THE TRK TO A DEALER, BUT BOTH DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO COVER IT UNDER THE 96MONTH/80,000 MILE "MAJOR EMISSION COMP WARRANTY." I'VE HAVE REPORTED BOTH ISSUE TO FCA VIA THEIR WEBSITE. NHTAS/ODI HAS MY PERMISSION TO RELEASE MY NAME AND CONTACT INFORMATION TO FCA TO DISCUSS SPECIFICS OF THIS ISSUE.

MAJOR FUEL SYSTEM LEAK DUE TO FUEL LINE FAILURE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME SUCH A FAILURE HAS OCCURRED AND IS A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AS THE LEAK RESULTED IN FUEL RUNNING DOWN BACK OF ENGINE NEAR TURBO AND CATALYST.

FUEL SENSOR FAILURE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES AND GOES WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL GAUGE TO STOP WORKING. NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT A KNOW PROBLEM. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED WHEN IT IS A OBVIOUS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD REGISTER EMPTY, EVEN WITH A FULL TANK OF FUEL. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE AND FUEL SENSOR FAILURE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER IN CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA WHERE IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE FUEL PUMP BE REMOVED FOR INSPECTION. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 37,000. *LN *TT

AT 38000 MILES THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND REPORTED A "FUEL SENSOR FAILURE". GAS GUAGE READS EMPTY.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND MESSAGE STATED PROBLEM WITH FUEL SYSTEM SENSOR. GAS GAUGE WOULD READ EMPTY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS FUEL IN THE TANK. BROUGHT TO DEALER - TECHNICIAN VERIFIED CODE P0463 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH; TESTED SYSTEM AND FOUND FAULTY FUEL PUMP MODULE. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 32,224 MILES BUT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S OVER 3 YEARS. COST FOR NEW FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS $456 PLUS $347 LABOR ($803 TOTAL). WHEN REVIEWING COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR TRUCK/MODEL OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS PART SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND IN MY CASE, SINCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDATION. CLEARLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FAULTY FUEL PUMP MODULES IN 2014 RAM 1500 TRUCKS.

I HAVE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH RODENTS CHEWING THROUGH THE FUEL LINE ON MY 2014 RAM 1500. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SINCE DECEMBER, 2016 AND IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF. THE FUEL LINE, ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE TECHS AND REPRESENTATIVES WHO HAVE WORKED ON MY TRUCK, HAS CONNECTIONS MADE OF A "SOY-BASED" PRODUCT WHICH IS ATTRACTIVE TO RODENTS. WHEN THE LINES GET CHEWED THROUGH, THE FUEL BEGINS TO LEAK VERY QUICKLY WHILE I HAVE BEEN IN MOTION ON PUBLIC STREETS. ONE OF THE THREE TIMES, MY REAR TIRES ACTUALLY LOST TRACTION COMPLETELY CAUSING ME TO BRIEFLY LOSE CONTROL OF MY TRUCK. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT LEAKS IS SIGNIFICANT, USUALLY EMPTYING MY TANK FROM NEARLY FULL TO EMPTY IN SECONDS. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPOND BEFORE THE TRUCK COULD BE TOWED DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT FIRE HAZARD THIS POSSES. IF THERE WERE TO BE AN IGNITION SOURCE OF ANY KIND, THE TRUCK WOULD CATCH FIRE AND POSSIBLY CAUSE SIGNIFICANT HARM TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO CHRYSLER/RAM'S ATTENTION AND THEY HAVE MADE NO EFFORT TO HAVE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED, ALTHOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE DANGER INVOLVED WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE REPS I HAVE DEALT WITH EXPLAINED THAT THIS FUEL LINE IS MADE WITH SOY TO MAKE THE PART "ECO-FRIENDLY". THE REPAIR IS COSTLY AND, ACCORDING TO THE REPAIRING DEALERSHIP, CAN ONLY BE MADE USING THE SAME FLAWED "SOY-BASED" FUEL LINES. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES SHOWING THE CHEWED CONNECTIONS AS WELL AS INVOICES FOR THE THREE REPAIRS I HAVE HAD MADE. OTHER CAR COMPANIES HAVE CLASS ACTION SUITS FOR SOY-BASED WIRING HARNESSES AND FUEL LINES, SO I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED WITH THE RAM TRUCKS. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE RESOLVED AS THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THIS DESIGN FLAW. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH FUEL SYSTEM ERROR WARNING. HAD TO REPLACE FULE PUMP ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 RAM 1500. IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHIFTING THE VEHICLE INTO DRIVE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND A "FUEL PUMP SENSOR FAILURE" MESSAGE APPEARED AS THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT SINCE THE CONTACT DID NOT HAVE AN ESTABLISHED RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER, THEY COULD NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,800.

STARTED THE TRUCK, RECEIVED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND FUEL SENSOR FAILURE FLASHED ACROSS SCREEN. WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP THERE WOULD BE A NOTIFICATION NOISE THEN GAS GAUGE WOULD DROP TO EMPTY CAUSING VEHICLE TO ACT AS IF IT HAD NO FUEL. DEALERSHIP FOUND P0463 (FUEL LEVER SENSOR CIRCUIT) AND RECOMMENDED FUEL PUMP SENDER BE REPLACED.

MY 2014 RAM 1500 HAD TO HAVE ITS DEF (DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID) TANK REPLACED. I WAS TOLD SINCE IT IS AN EMISSIONS COMPONENT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. IT COST OVER $2000 TO REPLACE THIS TANK ONLY BECAUSE THE SENDING UNIT WAS INOPERABLE. THE SENDING UNIT IS INTEGRAL TO THE TANK SO YOU COULD NOT REPLACE THE SENDING UNIT. THE SENDING UNIT WOULD NOT REGISTER A FULL TANK. WHEN THE UNIT INDICATED THE TANK WAS EMPTY (WHEN IT WAS NOT) THE VEHICLE IS REQUIRED TO GO INTO LIMP MODE(3-5MPH). THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING LONG DISTANCES IN REMOTE AREAS.

THERE IS A DISTURBING TREND AMONG AUTOMAKERS TO ELIMINATE DIPSTICKS FROM THEIR TRANSMISSIONS. THIS CAN BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. I PURCHASED MY 2014 RAM 1500 NEW LATE LAST YEAR. RETURNING ON A ROAD TRIP TO NEW JERSEY LAST MONTH THE TRANSMISSION JERKED HORRIBLY. ONCE BACK HOME I PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE SHIFT POINTS AND IT WORKED SMOOTHLY FOR A FEW WEEKS. THEN IT STARTED SLIPPING AT 10 MPH. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL FROM THE FILL PORT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN AND DISCOVERED IT WAS A QUART LOW FROM THE FACTORY. THIS IS A TERRIBLE DESIGN AND FORCES OWNERS INTO THREE OPTIONS ; 1. IGNORE THEIR TRANSMISSION.2. HAVE TO TAKE IT TO AN EXPENSIVE MECHANIC OR THE DEALER. 3.THIS IS WHERE IT CAN GET DANGEROUS, GET UNDERNEATH THEIR VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING TO GET THE FLUID TO THE NECESSARY TEMPERATURE TO ACCURATELY CHECK IT. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SHADE TREE MECHANICS WILL ENDANGER THEIR LIVES TO CHECK THEIR FLUID LEVELS. FORD HAS A SIMILARLY FLAWED DESIGN ON ITS PICK UP TRUCKS AS WELL. HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THIS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK I WOULD HAVE GONE FOR THE CHEVROLET WITH THE CONVENTIONAL DIP STICK SET UP. THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT THE RAM WAS FOR ITS HIGHWAY CRUISING RANGE. I COVERED 750 MILES ON A SINGLE TANK ( 32 GALLONS ). HOWEVER THERE IS MORE TO THE OWNERSHIP EXPERIENCE THAN THAT. BEING ABLE TO CHECK SIMPLE THINGS LIKE FLUID LEVELS BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER A CROSS COUNTRY ROAD TRIP AND JUST AROUND TOWN IS VERY IMPORTANT. WITH ALL THE VOLUMES OF MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS ON THE BOOKS I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS DESIGN WAS ALLOWED TO GO INTO PRODUCTION. ALSO, THE ROTARY SHIFT KNOB ON THESE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS SEEMS LIKE A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN. ALSO, THE TRANSMISSION PAN IS CONSTRUCTED OF PLASTIC WITH THE FILTER BUILT IN TO THE PAN.

BOUGHT 2014 RAM 1500 NEW AT TOMBALL DODGE INC. IN TOMBALL TEXAS ON MARCH 28, 2014. ON APRIL 14, 2014 AT START UP, A HUGE CLOUD OF WHITE/LIGHT BLUE SMOKE CAME OUT OF TAILPIPES. MILEAGE WAS 702.

ON OR ABOUT MARCH 6 2014 WHEN THE TRUCK SITS OVER NIGHT OR AFTER ABOUT 5 HOURS WHEN THE MOTOR AND TRANS ARE COLD , I NOTICE A HESITATION GOING FROM REVERSE TO FORWARD, THIS IS A HESITATION THAT IS ABOUT 2-5 SECONDS, IT SEEMS THAT THE MOTOR IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH AIR IT SEEMS LIKE IT WANTS TO IDLE DOWN. WHEN THIS IDLE DOWN IT GOES FROM THE HESITATION THEN LIKE A IDLE AIR ISSUE. WITH THE HESITATION FROM A LOW IDLE TO IDLE THAT MAKES IT GO THEN I HAVE TO GIVE THIS GAS OR TRY TO SINCE ITS A LOT OF ELECTRICAL KNOW. I AM NOT SURE. I LIVE ON A BUSY ROAD AND THIS IS A ISSUE THAT CAN AFFECT MY SAFETY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY IF IT WILL GO INTO DRIVE. AT THIS TIME THIS IS A ISSUE, I WANT TO KNOW WHEN I PUT THIS INTO DRIVE, IT GOES LIKE IT SHOULD THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK. *TR
