The engine and fuel lights turn on plus the fuel needle moved to empty, light comes on flashing fuel sensor fail. This started happening at around 45000 miles. I have been told I will have to drop the gas tank and replace the fuel pump. Happens while idling or driving the truck

I have received various recall notices on this vehicle which I would like someone to look into this to see if this car qualifies as a lemon. These items have been fixed by the different dealer ships, but have more than 5 recalls is a bit too much.

- Tarzana, CA, USA

After update to resolve the emissions recall issue (ecodiesel settlement), my truck has dangerously poor response to acceleration. It is a life safety issue. After the initial update, I had to bring the truck in a second time because the emissions updates ruined the emissions sensors. Leaving the dealership, I pulled out into traffic on a state highway with plenty of room (at least 200 feet) and after hitting the accelerator, the vehicle stalled for approximately 5 seconds before finally responding, nearly causing the vehicle behind me to run into the rear. If this issue is not resolved, people are going get killed on the highway.

After recieving fca's recently released recall for the aem emissions recall the trucks performance is dangerously erratic. There are times the truck will hardly move from a stop pulling into cross traffic and other times it will accelerate extremely hard. This unknown makes it dangerous to operate in a lot of circumstances.

Unexpected acceleration followed by inability to stop or steer or limit acceleration. Second accident, same vehicle, identical problem.

Why my VIN number is not in the NHTSA data base regarding the Ram 1500 pick up recall for 2014-2016 vehicles? involving majority of the drive train, exhaust, evc, and air intake.

I own a 2015 Ram 1500, which I purchased new in August of 2015. This vehicle has the ecodiesel engine as original equipment. This same engine was the topic of a class action law suit filed against Fiat/Chrysler. The agreements in the settlement of that suit requires Ram dealers to update the engine software so that it will meet the original emissions specs. The update is also not supposed to effect drivability. My truck was updated with the V08 recall for this purpose. Since this update, when the engine is cold, the truck has a very long delay (4~7 seconds) before it starts to accelerate from a stop. The engine then accelerates very slowly. It is a serious safety concern when trying to merge into traffic. Once the engine comes to full operating temperature, it comes close to original performance, but it never performs as it did before the recall was done. The service department at my local Ram dealer has verified that there is nothing wrong with any part on the engine, and the problem is a direct result of the V08 recall. This vehicle has been well maintained and exhibited no problems prior to this recall. The settlement required that the update did not effect drivability, but it did so in a dangerous manner.

I had the recall done ( V 08 ), now the throttle response is terrible and the fuel mileage has dropped by two mpg in town and two and a half mpg on the highway. You don't want to pull out into traffic unless you have a lot room because of severe throttle lag, it will lag and then take off like a rocket, but you never know when, also downshifts on hills that it never used to before. I wish I would never had the recall done !!!!!!!!!!!!

My truck was involved in the epa lawsuit against fca for the ecodiesel. The settlement involved me taking the truck to the dealership for a software change. Under the agreement it was not supposed to affect the drivability of the truck. After the software change my truck will not accelerate. I was at a stop sign and pulled into traffic and the truck would not accelerate I contacted fca and opened a case. I was told they know of the problem and do not have a fix. I now have a truck I can not pull out into traffic with. I just don't want anyone getting killed or injured because they did not test the update. I don't know if you can help me, but maybe you can point me in the right direction. Thanks

Had V08 recall done and lost approx 5mpg and when leaving a stop sign at times cannot get to move very sluggish and a lot of throttle lag dealer states nothing is wrong along with fca but the truck did not do this prior to V08 recall

- Horicon, WI, USA

After getting the most recent 'V08' recall on my 2015 Ram eco diesel I've since had extreme lag on the truck when taking off. This make it extremely difficult when pulling out into traffic. This was not an issue before the update.

- Shokan, NY, USA

My 2015 Ram has almost 32,000 miles. The check engine light came on yesterday after filling up my tank. It throws a code fuel sensor fail and fuel low. The fuel guage is on empty with 3\4 full tank. It happens while your driving or standing still iddling.

I had previously filed a complaint in regards to the effect of the aem (V08) ecodiesel class action settlement recall. The number of the previous complaint is: 11210536. In addition to what was previously reported as dangerous/safety related, the vehicle for several minutes after a cold start, although apparently running smoothly, when attempting to accelerate, will not. A turtle could out run the vehicle. It takes over 5 minutes of driving to get a more reasonable acceleration. Again, regardless of a cold start, the vehicle will not accelerate after normal driving, then slowing, and then trying to accelerate. It takes several seconds for the transmission to downshift and for the turbo lag to go away - very dangerous when turning in front of or merging with traffic.

"aem recall" following the aem recall on the Dodge Ram ecodiesel, vehicle experiences dead spots in it acceleration. Pressing the gas pedal, even to the floor, provides no input to the truck for 3-5 seconds. This issue has placed myself and my family in danger in multiple intersections and in merging traffic. Vehicle has also experienced deminished fuel mileage of over 3mpg. Fca specifically states the following: "the aem is not expected to change any of your key vehicle attributes, such as average fuel economy, reliability, durability, vehicle performance, drivability, engine noise or vibration, or other driving characteristics. Click here to read the court approved notice that includes important additional details about the effect of the aem on your vehicle." Almost all of the vehicle characteristics listed are affected in a negative way. In doing so, fca is placing all ecodiesel owners at risk.

The recent ecodiesel recall was performed. As I pulled out of the dealership the truck stalled in the middle of a four lane road like the transmission slipped. The next day the truck literally stalled in the middle of the road. The rpms goes up to over 5000 then the truck slowly gains power. I pulled back into the lot and pressed the pedal to the floor from a dead stop and the same thing. Went back to the dealership and was told the only complaint so far was a loss in mpg. On the ecodieselram. Com forum several other ecodiesel owners are experiencing the same issue. This issue is going to get someone killed!

While driving on the highway the engine and fuel lights turn on plus the fuel needle moved to empty knowing I just filled up one day earlier. After doing some research I found out it was the fuel sensor. Other Dodge owners also experienced the same problem after the vehicle mileage reached 60,000 or over. Mine turned on at 63K. Made an appointment to fix it Tuesday June 18, 2019 after I saw a review it could cause a fire while driving.

The check engine light is on in many Dodge Ram 1500 pickup trucks. Indicating there is a fuel sensor problem. If you use the remote start the engine it automatically shuts down within 15 seconds as if you have no fuel. Dealerships are charging $1,000 to fix a widespread manufacturing issue. Fuel gauge drops to empty when driving when tank is full and then returns to correct reading.

Making the 12 mile trip to work when at mile 10 my truck experienced a decrease in power followed by a shuddering noise when on the throttle. Limped the vehicle off to the shoulder where I noted smoke. Opened the hood to discover a small fire toward the rear of the engine compartment. Tried to extinguish the flames with no luck and with in 5 mins the flames had engulfed the front of the truck.

- Concord, CA, USA

Was driving in town not towing or loaded, truck stumbled like out of fuel. I pulled over and raised the hood and saw smoke coming from passengers side under the engine cover at the egr, egr cooler. With a fire extinguisher handy I pointed it under the engine cover putting the fire out on that side but the diesel fuel from the burnt plastic hose spread to the other side catching that side on fire. Fca after sending a rep. Could not determined what caused the fire but they would except no responsibility for the fire. They also said that they were sure that I would understand that fires happens. Well I don't!! with over 40 years as a auto service center owner I do understand that the eco diesel has a very serious fire problem on their 2014/2017 Ram 1500 ecodiesel. This fire problem is totally different from the environmental class action settlement suit.

- Reidsville, NC, USA

The engine light came on while driving, so I brought it to the Dodge dealer. The ran a test and it shows a fuel sensor error. The dealership informed me that this is happening a lot and if not fixed soon it could cause a fire.
