2017 Ram 1500 Fuel System Problems

While walking to my car I notice my fuel tank hanging down and upon further inspection the front fuel tank strap broke, I took it to a mechanic who confirmed that the strap broke from the frame which has rusted. This is a MAJOR safety issue which can cause serious injury or death. I know this is a known issue for the 2009-2012 models but it looks like this is an ongoing issue.

I am reporting a critical safety failure involving my 2017 Ram 1500 with approximately 89,000 miles. The component that failed was the fuel‑tank support system, specifically the frame section that holds the fuel‑tank brackets and strap. The frame in that area had completely rusted through, causing the fuel tank to drop and hang dangerously close to the ground.

The bracket connecting the fuel tank strap to the frame has broken and left fuel tank unsupported. Extreme fire hazard is fuel tank becomes disconnected or leaking

The diesel EGR Cooling System prematurely failed on a vehicle with low mileage and repaired at owner's expense. This defect allows pre-heated, vaporized coolant into the EGR system while the engine is running.

A recall was received in June, 2022, regarding High Pressure Fuel Pump failing prematurely. “Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.”No remedy was available. Today I received another recall notice for the same issue which said to schedule my free repair.

The fuel tank's front support bracket completely rusted out. I was driving and started to hear a very loud grinding sound. The bracket gave way completely dropping the tank almost to the ground and pushing the fuel tank bracket into the drive shaft grinding into it.

While driving home from school with my wife and kids, my vehicle died in the highway at about 55 MPH. I almost got rear ended by the vehicle behind me. I was lucky to roll it out to the side of the road without getting in a accident.

Manufacturer has not acted in a timely manner to resolve this known defect, FCA recall #Z46, NHTSA Recall #22V-406, which may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning, putting my safety and that of the public near me into peril should I continue to use my vehicle, or depriving me of my livelihood if I do not use my vehicle.

My truck has the Z46 manufacturer recall and the NHTS 22v-406 recall for "High Pressure Fuel Pump failure". No parts are available for repair. the recall states " A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation.

Constant engine code for a very small evap leak. Vehicle was taken to C&C Automotive (4014 Washington Road, Augusta, Ga. 30907 || 762-685-5555) for a diagnostic.

Notice vb!/NHTSA 19v-757 received december 2019. Advised today by fca fix not available until april 2020 earliest. Failure of recalled part, diesel egr cooler, may result in engine fire.

During routine maintenance at the dealer, you were told your fuel system had cracks and rust damage caused by corrosion. Your vehicle matches a recall (NHTSA Campaign 18V160000) for fuel system issues, but your specific VIN and model year weren't included in the recall list, so the dealer didn't repair it. The problem was reported to the manufacturer at 57,969 miles.

In November 2025, while traveling at highway speeds, the High-Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP)—the very component installed to satisfy the Z46 recall—suffered a catastrophic failure. This resulted in an immediate loss of fuel pressure, smoke, and a total engine stall.

Truck stalled on interstate was able to continue off interstate once on secondary road truck stalled and shut off. I was able to get it restarted and drive to near by RAM dealership where it has been sitting since. Dealer says the have been unable to get it to restart.

I know this is the fuel pump. No prior indications or lights. Stopped on highway.

There is an extended warranty on the defective gas tank strap bracket, “X75”. When this part broke it caused damage to my driveshaft and to my fuel tank. The dealer says only the strap bracket is covered.

I was driving my truck and out of no where started to lose speed, pulled over immediately and lost all power. I didn’t drive my truck anymore because I noticed a knocking noise when I was able to get it back on. I contacted mopar and was advised to take in my truck for open recalls because of the High pressure fuel pump seemed to be exactly what happened to my ram.

The RAM 1500 fuel tank has a vent tube that breaks off and cannot be repaired. The only solution, per the dealer, is to replace the fuel tank and Chrysler does not have any available with no date for restocking them. The issue is the Check Fuel Cap light comes on and when the tank is full, it leaks gasoline (badly).

Mount for gas tank strap rotted and front fuel tank strap came off leaving fuel tank hang down. Luckily did not fall out of truck. This issue has had recalls on other model years but not 2017 which was a carryover model year so don’t understand why not.

RE: FCA Recall #Z46; NHTSA #22V-406 Premature High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) failure recall. It's been approximately 14 months since FCA issued its notice for a voluntary safety recall on inspection/replacement of the HPFP for my vehicle and no action has been taken by the manufacturer as of this date. The dealership still indicates that no repair parts are available.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to refuel, the fuel nozzle would continuously shut off prematurely. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the fuel pump check valve had malfunctioned, and the fuel pump needed to be replaced.

At the gas station pump notch on the gas nozzle getting stuck in the truck filler neck (every time I fill up). Very unsafe. sometimes I spend hour stuck at the gas station trying to remove the gas nozzle from my truck.

On June 23rd, 2022, just arrived at a campground with a travel trailer. Noticed something hanging from under the truck. The 32-gallon fuel tank was just filled less than a mile prior to arrival.

Since owning my 2017 Dodge Ram I have had issues with the fuel nozzle becoming stuck in the tank this is every single gas station I have spent nearly 20 to 1 hr trying to get the nozzle out I have researched in-line and apparently this is an overwhelming issue as other people and in the dodge forum complained about this Several times the pump does not shut off because the nozzle is still engaged And when it was able to become dislodged via force gas has spilt everywhere I even had employees and a fuel truck driver try to get this off This is a huge safety and mechanical issue and I’m very frustrated my dodge dealer will not assist me because Ethel say it’s not under warranty It is getting stuck due to the angle of the filler tube between years 2015 and 2017 this last time Was just recent but other times every month Please help

The fuel sending unit failed on several occasions. The vehicle display would indicate low fuel and the gauge would go to full empty. On the third time it displayed I also got a check ending light.

MY TRUCKS FUEL GAUGE SENSOR IS READING EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE A FULL TANK. CODE P0463 . IT IS FROM A FAULTY PART/ FLOAT ON THE FUEL PUMP. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN MANY RAM 1500 MODELS AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. TRUCK STALLED AND THANKFULLY RESTARTED. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS THE ISSUES IN THE RAMS BUT WANTS ME TO PAY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. HAVE OTHERS REPORTED THIS ISSUE?

The ram dealership has refused to fix my vehicle for safety recall 19v-757

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving, the check engine warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. Additionally, the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate fuel level.

Fuel sensor failure: as soon as the fuel level in the tank goes below half tank while driving, the sensor fails and shows no fuel in the tank. Driver has no accurate idea of the correct fuel amount until you refill the tank to above the half tank level. There is a recall that exist for other models of 2017 dodge ram 1500 trucks.

Fuel pump and fuel tank gauge are one assembly. System failed at 50k miles. Dealer indicated this is a known problem and entire assembly must be changed at a cost of $1200.

The fuel quantity indicator is defective. One the tank is half full the gage goes to zero and the low fuel warning light illiminates, also the fuel system failure light comes on

Check engine light comes on and fuel gauge drops to empty. Light will go off when tank is full and comes on at 3/4. Code reads fuel sensor input level high voltage.

I filled up my vehicle with fuel on tuesday. I was driving down the highway thursday when all the sudden the fuel light came on along with a message. Then I noticed my fuel gauge read empty.

Fuel sensor failure on two different occasions. One was replaced (fuel rail pressure sensor) and the other has not been yet due to the very high price of the repair ($800 - $1000). Fuel gauge reads full and then suddenly drops to empty.

Just bought a used truck from vandehey brantmier in chilton wi three months ago and the fuel level sensor fail light comes on check engine light comes on. Took it to the dealership and they said it needs a fuel level sensor and pump. My 2017 ram 1500 needs this and it is not covered under warranty or anything and this is a known issue for a long time but nothing has been done.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 1500. While the contact was filling the fuel tank, the fuel nozzle became stuck on the fuel filler neck. The vehicle was taken to grown dodge chrysler jeep ram (located at 6300 king dr, ventura, ca 93003, (805) 918-4485) where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler neck needed to be replaced.

Fuel sensor fail, once fuel gets to just below half a tank, the fuel sensor fails amd gas guage drops to empty, check engine light comes on, also the eco sustem will fail for fuel savings. I fear the truck will shut off while driving because it will think it has no fuel. I have researched multiple complaints on this issue on line.

I can have a full tank of gas and it will say low gas and the gas light will come on sometimes the check engine light will come on and read fuel sensor error

Gas station fuel filler nozzle gets stuck in vehicle fuel filler neck. This happens repeatedly and at different stations. No visible vehicle faults.

The fuel level sensor for the past approximately 10,000 miles intermittently quits reading the fuel level. The fuel level gauge in the dash cluster drops to empty, regardless of the actual fuel level. The message 'fuel sensor failure' appears on the dash cluster.

I am having an issue with the fuel guage and the fuel system lights on the truck. I took it in for service and they are saying the parts are on backorder. The fuel guage is showing no fuel in the car and I am concerned the car could cut off and I could lose control of it.

My fuel tank support strap failed. Just rust I presume I have the larger fuel tank as well. Filled it then shortly after heard a scraping sound.

The fuel pump quit working, which immediately made the engine die. I was on a two lane road and there was no place to get off the road. There was no prior warning of the issue and there apparently have been no recalls, even though, Ram is very aware of the problem and and in some cases the engines have been damaged due to pieces of metal from the fuel pump getting into the engine.

Fuel sensor failure, I can fill the tank and a sound will chime, then the Guage will show that the truck has no gas, this also turns off ECO mode, so now I'm burning thru more gas and not getting the fuel efficiency that I'm supposed to. If I don't track the mileage then I leave myself open to running out of fuel. Very dangerous.

The minute the gas hand gets below Full the gas hand goes to Empty and then goes back to Full over and over while driving On the dash it flashes “Fuel Level Sensor Failure” and it will do this til I fill the tank full. It shows recall letters to be mail in August 2023 can I get a copy of the letter please

The Fuel Level Sensor assembly internal of the gas tank failed at 18k miles. A close inspection of the part revealed a manufacturer defect causing an open connection to develop on the carbon track measuring device. This type of situation caused the fuel gauge to go to E causing panic, and warning message appears in display while you are driving and audible alerts go off.

After filling up the gas tank one morning, I was driving along the highway when suddenly there was a ding on the dashboard message saying there was a fuel sensor fail the fuel gauge indicated that I had absolutely no fuel and the miles remaining said zero it did this several times resetting itself and doing it again and it's still doing it 3 months later

Fuel sensor fails

I live in ca and after fueling 2017 ram rebel the fuel nozzles has gotten stuck multiple times, I cant even stick the nozzle half ways to fuel because then it clicks and stops fueling. My girlfriend cant borrow the truck in fear that if she tries to pump gas it will get stuck on her too. It really shouldn't be this much of a hassle to pump gas.

With a full fuel tank everything is good. Between 3/4 and 1/2 tank the fuel gauge goes to empty, out of gas light blinks and fuel sensor fail light comes on. 5 minutes later gauge is back to 3/4 tank and fuel sensor fail engine warning still on.

After filling up the gas tank to full, engine light comes out, eco stops working and fuel gauge goes crazy by going down to empty and back to full

Fuel nozzle gets stuck when filling up at gas stations. I've had this truck a year and a half now and it's so frustrating. Cannot go to costco as it gets stuck and constantly clicks off, 10 gallons after thirty minutes!

My 2017 ram 1500 quad cab has a fuel sensor fail. I looked it up and apparently many people have this issue with ram trucks.

The gas pump nozzles no longer work when filling up the tank. It seems that they do not like the angle of the fill neck on the truck. They shut off after only about 1/2 gallon is used into the tank.

Cold start engine exhaust temperature too low
