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.

Fuel sending unit malfunctions causing the fuel gauge to go to empty and back to full

- Plainville, GA, USA

Error code P0463: Fuel level sensor circuit high input, this means my fuel gauge is experiencing failures and I can not accurately determine how much fuel is in the vehicle. Doing a quick google search, this appears to be a very common issue with the 2014 Ram 1500 5.7L. I'm at roughly 68500 mile on my truck so the issue is also out of warranty.

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.

2014 ecodiesel received an update / reprogramming of engine control unit (ECU) and now has serious drivability issues, especially when cold. Throttle response is delayed and, if trying to pull into traffic, is dangerous due to the delay in throttle response. In addition to drivability issues, the fuel mileage has decreased significantly, probably 20%.

Added antifreeze several times and then the engine started blowing white smoke, engine knocking like a loose crank or rocker arm truck lost complete power.

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 Ram 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

Driving on hwy 17 down a ramp, throttle sensor light came on and truck stalled out. Restarted truck to pull off hwy/ramp to safer location, noticed thick bl smoke billowing out from under hood. Pulled into parking lot, lifted hood to see flames coming off engine. Bystander called 911 while I got a bucket of water. Threw bucket of water onto engine while police and fire dept finished extinguishing. Fire dept stated they have seen a few eco fires. Towed to hendrick's, contacted Ram. Ram stated no need to contact ins co (they will handle it). Thought this was strange, contacted ins co anyways. Inspected by 2 fire specialists, ins co and Ram. Ins co stated manufact defect, Ram stated leaky injector (which were replaced by Ram 18K mi prior at dealership). I sustained smoke inhalation and 1st degree burns to face, neck, lt arm and had/have headaches. Truck was still under 100K warranty with only 40K. Ram denied opened claim and warranty. Ins co totaled truck out, they still have an open claim against Ram. Additionally Ram denying my emissions settlement of 3K only offering 900 (stating emissions work couldn't be done due to fire classifying me as a previous owner although I was current owner even at that time). I still haven't settled emissions. Recently Ram has recalled all 108K eco-diesels 2014-19 for fire hazard. My truck fits the description for what happens and always needed a little coolant with maint, insp, oil changes. I paid off my truck before, and now have a payment with what I consider a lesser truck. When I call fca and give my info they often hang up, act like they cant hear me, or state they are transferring me to manager (hanging up on me). Also stating someone will get back to me, but never any returned call (supposed to get a call tomorrow, will see).

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.

My stock driveshaft is rubbing into my stock gas tank. I believe to be the case on all 2014 regular cab 1500 with the 3.92 rear end. The key here is the 3.92 rear end on this truck. They used an oversize adapter plate the mount the drive shaft and there is not enough clearance when turning left and the bed rolls. I have gauge marks in my tank and fca is refusing to look at the evidence even though a Ram dealer pointed it out to me.
