The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. While refueling the vehicle, fuel overflowed out of the tank. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer (my Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat, 4650 E pickard rd, mt pleasant, mi 48858, (989) 773-6343) was notified. The dealer informed the contact that they never experienced a failure of this nature and advised the contact to schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

Ram 1500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1 miles
When refueling the vehicle, the automatic shut-off on the pump works correctly but the tank will bubble up fuel causing a spill. I never top-off the tank! the dealer has worked on this twice and is scheduling a third appointment. I am concerned that they have no idea why this is happening.
