Just bought a used truck from vandehey brantmier in chilton wi three months ago and the fuel level sensor fail light comes on check engine light comes on. Took it to the dealership and they said it needs a fuel level sensor and pump. My 2017 Ram 1500 needs this and it is not covered under warranty or anything and this is a known issue for a long time but nothing has been done. This needs to change

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 1500. While the contact was filling the fuel tank, the fuel nozzle became stuck on the fuel filler neck. The vehicle was taken to grown Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram (located at 6300 king dr, ventura, ca 93003, (805) 918-4485) where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler neck needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the fuel filler neck was previously replaced for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.

Fuel sensor fail, once fuel gets to just below half a tank, the fuel sensor fails amd gas guage drops to empty, check engine light comes on, also the eco sustem will fail for fuel savings. I fear the truck will shut off while driving because it will think it has no fuel. I have researched multiple complaints on this issue on line. Issue has been ongoing since 4/15/19. Milage on truck is 46000. Mileage is same as prevoius complaints for same issue.

Gas station fuel filler nozzle gets stuck in vehicle fuel filler neck. This happens repeatedly and at different stations. No visible vehicle faults. Attempts to remove filler nozzle has caused cuts to hands and spilled fuel.it sometimes takes several minutes to free fuel filler without damaging vehicle. Must defeat vapor recovery by collapsing rubber boot in order to fuel vehicle. Dealer not interested.vehicle was stationary parked at gas pumps for refueling.

The gas pump nozzles no longer work when filling up the tank. It seems that they do not like the angle of the fill neck on the truck. They shut off after only about 1/2 gallon is used into the tank.

The fuel level sensor for the past approximately 10,000 miles intermittently quits reading the fuel level. The fuel level gauge in the dash cluster drops to empty, regardless of the actual fuel level. The message 'fuel sensor failure' appears on the dash cluster. Sometimes it stay for a few seconds, and other times it stays for a few minutes. Then it returns to working order and gives an accurate reading of the fuel level. Other times the check engine light comes on, and I have to clear the check engine light with a code reader. Code reader states code P0463 fuel level sensor. This code appears without the fuel gauge changing.

My Ram 1500 just rolled over the 36K factory warranty and my transmission light cam and my fuel lever indicator failed. I am afraid that the truck will shut off when the fuel lever drops to E but I know there is fuel in the truck. Also when my transmission light comes on the eco fuel system does not work any more. No messages appear on my message panel. When the fuel sensor failure happens I am driving on the highway and I just made a left turn. I have also have issues with my radio turning its self off or adjusting the volume by its self.. I have also experienced my digital odometer reading to just disappear at random times. My transmission light comes on randomly. It is sad that I bought a new truck with 12 miles on it and now I have all these problems. I just don't trust the truck and don't feel like it is safe to drive. The radio issue happened the next day after I purchased the truck...I am so sick of this

The truck has a lack of acceleration. When you press down the throttle it takes 5 seconds or more for it to respond causing a major safety concern. So much that you cannot cross traffic and or accelerate up the hill where it declines in speed. I live in the northwest in colder climates was snow and I lose acceleration and traction when going up hills. I have been in numerous close calls. It has been to the dealership 3 * and Chrysler says it operates on design because it is not throwing any codes for them to read. I want to know where a 5 second delay in acceleration is safe? I purchased the vehicle October 31st 2017 1st complaint and time to the dealership was in December and that continues to get worse the truck only has 6500 miles on it.

I am having an issue with the fuel guage and the fuel system lights on the truck. I took it in for service and they are saying the parts are on backorder. The fuel guage is showing no fuel in the car and I am concerned the car could cut off and I could lose control of it. They do not know when the parts will become available. I am concerned for myself, my family and others. I called Chrysler and they were unable to help me get into the dealer sooner for repairs. They want me to wait 17 days to address the problem
