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 Ram, 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.

- Freeport, NY, USA

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.

- Hubert, NC, USA

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.

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 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.

- Palmer, AK, USA

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 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.

In May 2018 fuel sensor fail I had to come out of my pocket to replace. I brought the truck landmark Dodge in morrow ga. I only had it for a year, along with the fake warranty that turn out to be no good. I felt like they stole money from me they did not work for. Now today I had to come out of my pocket again to pay for a bad tipm with a bad fuel pump relay. I thought that if I get the truck from the dealer, it would be a few years before start having problem with it. I email Dodge support about the problem. I have not receive a email from other than they receive my complaint. Very poor customer service.

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.

- Simpsonville, SC, USA

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Dpf/def systems causing engine failure. Leveling sensor inside of the D.E.F tank isn't reponding and causing truck to run bad and causing truck to go into limp mode. And there should be a recall on the dpf system

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.
