I recently figured out a problem with my truck that is an extreme danger. When you fill up the fuel tank at any gas station, it seems that the fuel enters the vapor canister and makes the engine stall for about a mile before it starts running properly. After several close encounters after filling the tank, I looked upon other threads of Dodge Ram owners and found this to be a common problem that was never addressed by Chrysler and never acted upon by the federal safety agency. Please look into this and advise a course of action to have Chrysler repair this problem.. It is a matter of time before either I or another with the same problem are seriously injured or killed due to this defect. Many Thanks In Advance!!

We were driving on the highway 55 MPH and heard a noise while exiting and we thought we hit a large hole. Before we reached the end of the off ramp traveling at approximately 50 MPH but giving the truck some gas to accelerate we heard a very loud pop and it felt like something hit the bottom of the truck.we pulled off to side and checked under the truck to see the slip yolk and u joint of the driveline were broken and the flange nut on rear end was backed off and the rear end was shattered. Also the fuel vapor recovery lines were broke from the slip yolk and u joint breaking. Is this issue related to recall number 14v79600

When filling my gas tank at any station at any time of year, while filling my gas tank will continuously puke gas back up the filler tube all over the ground, this is a huge issue among many dodge vehicles. It's unsafe and to fix it you have to replace the entire gas tank. This happens no matter what, truck on, truck off.

Engine stalls at all speeds on an interstate while going 75 MPH with no control of steering due to lost of power steering or brakes.
