Owner Complaints (54)
Your diesel fuel system's high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) failed, causing your engine to stall without warning and leaving you stranded. Even after the dealer replaced it under a safety recall, the new pump failed again during testing, meaning the problem has returned. This is a serious safety issue because engine stall can happen without warning while you're driving, and the pump may need to be inspected and replaced again along with fuel system components.

Your truck may have trouble filling up with fuel at the gas pump. You might notice the pump nozzle clicking off repeatedly, preventing you from completing a full tank. This is a known issue affecting certain 2018–2020 Ram 1500s, often caused by a faulty rollover valve inside the fuel tank. The fix typically involves replacing the faulty rollover valve.

Your fuel filler neck has a stuck rollover valve that prevents you from refueling properly and causes fuel to splash onto the ground when you try to fill up. This appears to be a widespread issue affecting 5th generation Ram trucks. The fix will likely involve replacing or repairing the rollover valve in the fuel filler neck assembly.

When fueling, gas pump kicks off due to pressure build up inside of tank/filler neck. Gas has spilled out on vehicle from filler neck when this has happened. Have to constantly hold gas nozzle in a very slow trickle to be able to fuel truck. Sensor is not serviceable due to being inside gas tank. Has been an ongoing issue since first starting with no remedy from dealerships.
The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle veered off the road. The contact stated that the passenger's and driver's side curtains airbags and the front driver's seat and front passenger's seat side airbags deployed. The contact stated that no collision had occurred during the incident. There was no injury sustained. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The neighbors assisted the driver in cutting the airbags that were obstructing the road visibility. The driver then drove to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the front driver's side and passenger's side seat belts were replaced because the seat's side air bags deployment had rendered the seat belts inoperable. Additionally, the contact stated that while attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel could not enter the vehicle and splashed out. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
Entered vehicle and notice strong smell of gasoline, driving my young kids to daycare and preschool they complained of the smell and we had to lower windows. Upon dropping them off, went to mechanic who confirmed it was a fuel system issue, fixed a valve. Following few days the truck has issues starting and is stalling and jerking at lights. I return to the mechanic who advises it is the same issue and relates to the fuel pump system failing and they have ordered the part that is on a 45 day backlog. Problem persists and make my trucks unsafe to drive and I am unable to drive it. I have spoken with RAM who advised my truck model is not included in the recall AND is freshly out of warranty. This is extremely frustrating I have to spend thousands to replace this and am unable to drive my truck for approximately 2 months IF the part arrives on time.
Having problems when fueling up my 2020 Ram Limited. When trying to refuel truck at the gas pump it continuously shut off. Not sure if it's a filter problem or what
The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact previously received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V767000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine) and had the vehicle repaired for a high-pressure fuel pump failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the high-pressure fuel pump had failed again and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 104,000.
While refueling my 2020 Ram 1500 Laramie with the large (33 gal) fuel tank, the fuel pump "vacuum-assisted automatic shutoff" or "nozzle shutoff mechanism" is triggered dozens of times prior to the tank actually reaching a full level. I have been experiencing this issue consistently for the past year and it has occurred, to the same degree, at each of the fill-ups conducted at a variety of gas stations during this time. I've had an independent service center diagnose the issue and they recommended I take it to a dealer for service and also report the issue because this has been a common issue they have seen. Other Ram 1500 owners on internet forums also report having had this issue. The safety issue is that gas may become trapped in a fuel system component where it shouldn't be collecting which exposes vehicle occupants to an increased risk of fire in the event of an accident. Furthermore, this condition makes it nearly impossible to know when the fuel tank is full because the shutoff mechanism is triggered many times prior to full. This results in over-filling the tank and possibly having fuel remain in the filler neck, which also unnecessarily increases the risk to vehicle occupants to fire or explosion if involved in an accident. Vehicle owner manuals and gas station pump warning stickers typically warn operators of the dangers of over-filling or "topping off" fuel tanks specifically for this reason. With the system not operating correctly, the risk of overfilling is severe and unsafe.
The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the message "Service High Pressure Fuel Pump" was displayed. The check engine warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The contact was able to pull over to the right side of the roadway. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, and the vehicle operated as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V767000 (Fuel System, Gasoline, Engine); however, the repair failed to fix the vehicle. The failure reoccurred after the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,000.
The contact owns a 2020 Ram 1500. The contact stated that whenever the weather was below 50-degrees, after refueling the vehicle, the gasoline started spilling out of the fuel filler neck. The contact stated that refueling the fuel tank slowly prevented the gasoline from spilling out of the fuel filler neck. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the fuel pump and gas tank were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000.
While trying to fuel vehicle, it will not take fuel , fueling sprays gasoline out of the fueling tube ,
I purchased a new Dodge Ram 1550 Big Horn in July of 2020. To date I have only 21,000 miles on this vehicle. In January of 2023, at the 12,555 mile mark, they had to install a new fuel delivery line and fuel tank because I was unable to fill the tank. This was due to the rollover valve molded into the top of the tank malfunctioning and sticking. 25 months and 9,000 more miles later, I am once again battling this same issue. Dodge states there is no recall on this item, yet there are thousands of online posts with people screaming "why is there no recall". This is costing us as consumers thousands of dollars in unrealistic repairs. I'm unsure if this is the correct venue to vent this, but can anyone help?
Every winter, since 2020 when I fill my gas tank with gas, the nozzle stops every time I squeeze the gas pump at the gas station. My tank will only take a couple gallons before the nozzle stops. I spend upwards of an hour at the gas station to just fill up my tank half way. Stellantis makes faulty gas tanks and has been for years. This faulty gas tanks forces customers to take their car into the shop and "forces" customers to purchase new gas tanks and fuel pumps. The gas tanks are faulty, they can cause harm due to faulty vent release. Multiple lawsuits have been filed in the past due to this issue, but Stellantis refused to recall and/or reimburse customers for this.
This vehicle will not take gas at the pump. It shuts off after less than 1/2 galllon, even near empty. It will also backsplash at the pump.
While refueling the gas pump kept shutting off. The dealership replaced the filler neck and the fuel tank almost a year ago and now the issue came back and they are stating it is now the Evaporator Canister.
Refueling vehicle has become a hazard due to repeated overflow out of fueling stem of vehicle. When inserting gasoline fuel nozzle from gas station pump and squeezing gas fuel nozzle handle the gasoline does not enter tank but rather spurts out around the fuel nozzle spilling down the side of the vehicle and onto the ground and onto the shoes and clothing of the person fueling the vehicle. Refueling the vehicle puts the refueler and occupants and others in the area at risk of contamination by the flammable fuel and environmental contamination. Repeated attempts to "feather" the flow from the nozzle have failed to alleviate this problem. Repeated attempts to use different fuel pumps and other gas station pumps have failed as well. There is no indication of a problem on the dashboard indicator lamps nor messages. No inspection by dealer has occurred by dealer as of yet.
My truck has less than 40k miles on it. I bought it with 18k miles. For the 3rd time I am unable to put fuel in the tank without it shutting off the pump or spilling all over. I have looked on the forums and found this is a common issue with this truck. It is very frustrating because the first time the dealership would not look at it for over a month and when I had to take it to another service center they refused to reimburse me. Now this is the third time.

The gas tank on the 2020 Ram 1500 Classic for some reason causes false fuel pump stoppages as if the tank was full. This causes fueling times to sometimes last 10 to 15 minutes and also causes a considerable amount of spillage due to the blowback of fuel. This creates a safety issue due to the possibility of fuel spraying back onto the driver. This is a known and recurring issue as I've seen it appear on several forums and pages numerous times from other Ram truck owners. Mopar should make this gas tank issue a recall as soon as possible.
Customer description: truck won’t take fuel, pump clicks off. (From Ram Dealer) Diagnostic- the vapor canister from the rollover from old fuel tank design, requesting and recommending new designed tank. This apparently is a known issue with the tank design.

UNKNOWN - Auto shut off on fuel dispenser happens almost immediately when filling tank as normal process. Have to slow to a trickle so it does not kick out & it takes 20x amount of time to fill tank than normal. Research is finding many owners of this vehicle with same issue. OEM needs to take action to correct as there is an obvious defect.

After I got the vehicle, during the first winter in January of 2021, I was filling up the vehicle at a gas station in Kansas. The fuel pump clicked off long before the tank was full and continued to click off every 3 seconds or so when attempting to continue. I stopped filling the tank at about half full after about 20 minutes in the freezing outside temperatures thinking it might have been something wrong with the pump. The gas gauge only read 1/2 full. I went to the next exit and tried again. Same situation. It took forever and finally after repeating this for about another 20 minutes, it finally did go to full but then leaked gasoline everywhere like it didn't stop because it was clogged or something. Seems to do it frequently when temps are below freezing. What ever repairs were supposedly made, did not work. I am very concerned this is a fire hazard potential if not corrected. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle and they claimed they replaced the fuel nozzle. But it continues to do this every time it gets below freezing. I am wondering if moisture / vapor is becoming frozen in the line, or that the fuel nozzle system is of poor design where the tank cannot keep up with the venting. Perhaps it was the manufacturer trying to comply with environmental regulations, but failed. In any case I worry about the fuel leaking out and catching on fire from driving or static. It is a serious problem!

Fuel tank malfunctions. It will not relieve pressure to fill up. Have to continually pump gas for a long time for it to fill the tank up. This has happened on multiple replacement tanks. Yes, it is available for inspection. My safety and others is put at risk because it allows gas to overflow while filling up with the automatic pump. Also due to having trouble putting fuel in it causing me to run out of fuel in the middle of traffic. This is the 3rd gas tank I've had on my dodge ram's that has had the same problem. This has happened on multiple Dodge Ram 1500's that I have owned. The component has only been inspected by the dealership when sent in for repair/replacement on each occasion. It has consistently shown to have this problem when the vehicle gets to about 40,000-70,000 miles on the vehicle. There are no warning signs or symptoms that show before it happens.

The last 3 times I tried to fill my fuel tank the fuel would trickle in to the tank and the pump would shut off. The last time when the tank was finally full, after 10 plus minutes of fueling, the pump did not shut off and gas splashed back at me. It is not the pump because the fill ups were at different gas stations. There has been a Service Tech Bulletin but when I contact RAM they gave me the impression that I would be responsible for the cost of the repairs. This problem is well documented online, numerous complaints, and I feel it is a tremendous safety issue. I have an open case with FCA and we will see how that goes.
I was made aware of this recall in October via mail, and since then have tried to make contact with the dealership. I purchased from Carmax and bought the MaxCare warranty, but seeing as this is a recall I took the vehicle to RAM after receiving the recall notice. I told them how this is a serious recall and the fact that there is no remedy was unsafe for me to continue driving. They assured me that RAM was working on it. They offered me the option of purchasing my truck for less than I owed on it and to roll over the remaining balance into a new loan. I declined. On February 3, 2023 I was driving and my vehicle jolted and shut off. Upon starting it up again my check engine light came on. I drove half a mile to a Big O Tires shop to run the code. On a Solis Ultra reader it ran 088 - High Pressure in Fuel Rail. So i took the vehicle straight to the RAM dealership where they offered me the same resolution as last time. I declined and went to Carmax and stated that I am paying for a vehicle that I now cannot drive due to safety and since I have MaxCare that I should be entitled to another vehicle of equitable value since there is currently no remedy. I was told to go back to RAM and talk to manufacturer. I spoke with RAM care and opened a claim and was advised that a remedy is expected in quarter 2 of 2023. After several calls to many different case managers, I was advised that I would have to get a rental out of my own pocket and would hopefully get reimbursed, and that I would have to wait after the weekend to hear anything else. The service rep told me that since there is no remedy currently, the best they can do is look at it and if there are no issues to put the fuel pump back in. This is an unsafe vehicle, and I refuse to continue paying for something that does not work due to the manufacturers fault, nor am I willing to rollover another vehicle loan payment since they are not open to equitable trades.
While filling up with gas the gas pump will cut off after pumping a small amount. I reposition the pump into the neck of the gas tank and try to pump more gas. The same problem occurs. You can only pump 25 to 50 cents of gas at a time. I called the dealer today after researching on line to see if there was a recall. They told me to bring it in, they would get to it in a few weeks. I researched to find there is not a recall on my truck for this problem but other 1500. My truck is having the same issue. I will update this case once its diagnosed by the dealer.

Unable to put fuel into tank. The nozzle repeatedly kicks off when attempting to fuel truck. Fuel is spit back out the filler hole no matter how the nozzle inserted. I have attempted three time at three different gas station, all with the same result. I have had the dealership look at it. I got the impression it is a somewhat common problem. There advice was to replace the fuel tank and charcoal canister, at a cost of $1600.00. A search of your web site has four of the five complaints , in the Fuel/Propulsion systems are the same as mine.
At a gas pump, the vehicle would not fill up. Constantly kicking the pump off. Took to the dealership, replaced the tank december 2021. Ram has several technical service bulletins on various years of the 1500 having fueling issues. This started around 27000 miles. March 7, 2022 started having the same issue. Contacted fca about issue. They said see dealer and they would pass the information along to their people. Again, truck will be going back for this issue.
THE FUEL FILLER LINE ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF CONTINUOUSLY WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. IT ONLY FILLS A COUPLE OF SECONDS THEN SHUTS OFF. IT CAN TAKE 15 - 20 MINUTES TO FILL A TANK OF GAS.
USUALLY, THE GAS NOZZLE AUTOMATICALLY TURNS OFF THE GAS WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. WHILE WAITING FOR THIS TO HAPPEN, HAND ON NOZZLE HOLDING IT OPEN, THE GAS OVERFILLED, GUSHED OUT OF THE FILL TUBE, AND OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. A BIG PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND. I THOUGHT THE NOZZLE SHUTOFF MALFUNCTIONED. I WENT TO FILL MY TRUCK AGAIN ON 5/5. I PUT THE NOZZLE INTO THE FILL TUBE AND SQUEEZED THE HANDLE. GAS GUSHED OUT OF THE FILL TUBE RIGHT AWAY, OUT FROM UNDER THE TRUCK AND CREATING ANOTHER LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE CONCRETE. I HAD A SIMILAR, NO CAP, FILLING TUBE ON MY 2013 F-150 AND NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM IN 7 YEARS. SO I CALLED MY DEALER TO REPORT THIS AND SEE IF OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A SECOND VALVE IN THE FILL TUBE AND I NEED TO INSERT THE NOZZLE ALL THE WAY INTO THE SPRING. I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO SEE IF THIS CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, MANY TIMES WHEN I HAVE TRIED TO FILL VARIOUS VEHICLES THAT I HAVE OWNED, SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PULL THE NOZZLE SLIGHTLY OUT TO KEEP THE AUTOMATIC TURN OFF FROM COMING ON SO I CAN FILL THE TANK. I NEVER TOP OFF, ADD MORE GAS AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SWITCH TURNS THE PUMP OFF. I THINK THIS IS A POOR DESIGN OR SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY FILL TUBE. I'M SURE OTHERS WILL BE DOING THE SAME THING I DID AND RAW GAS ALL OVER THE GROUND AND VEHICLE ISN'T VERY SAFE. BOTH TIMES VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND ENGINE OFF AT THE FILLING STATION. I WILL TAKE PICTURES IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. *TR
