I have tried on many times too arrigo dodge in west palm beach ,florida too complete the safety recall .they have refused too address the issues with this truck . I have complained to the dodge motor division more times than a few ,they turn a blind-eye to the dealership . This truck was a lemon from the show-room floor ,I have replaced the computer , emissions system ,fuel injection system , wiring harness , and many more repairs .the brake system is very dangerous ,someone is going too get a serious injury from this issue. The truck also suffers from sudden acceleration , at any given time . I have called the chrysler rep countless times , and they have a care less attitude ,I voiced my opinion on the chat line ,and...they were quite amused at the possibility of a crash or injury . I want a complete investigation of the dealership ,the factory , and bring in the department of justice on these criminal activities ! Please do something soon , this is a matter of life and death !
2006 Dodge RAM 1500 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Fuel tank is cracked and leaks fuel. I took the vehicle to my mechanic for repairs. My mechanic ordered a new fuel tank from the local dodge dealer. The dodge dealer reports the tank is on back order due to 59 fuel tanks on order for the same problem, that is cracked fuel tanks on dodge pickups.
When you fill up the gas tank gas shoots out the filler hole. Its not like normal vehicle when the gas handle clicks and stops. On my dodge ram, the gas nozzle stops but as soon as it does gas come pouring out my filler hole. This is got to be a safety issue. If you search the internet im the only one with this problem.
After filling gas tank in truck in the process of turning out of the parking lot on to a busy road the truck stalled out and would not start. Since then I have learned that in order to prevent this from happening anytime after filling the truck in the first few miles after driving if o plan to cove to a stop I must change gears in to neutral and rev the engine above 1500 RPM to keep it from dying. I feel that this is a serious safety issue with the risk of being run in to if the truck stalls turning on top a road.
When filling gas tank after the gas pump handle clicks shut to stop flow from the hose the gas from the tank comes back through the fill line and pours out over the side of the truck, approximately 1 pint so it is quite a spill. This happens at every gas station, I use gasoline with 10% ethanol gas, and if I stop the gas flow from the hose manually it also happens.
Every time I fill fuel tank the engine starts stalling for up to and hour after. It now if it has more than a half of a tank, it not only stalls, but pushes raw gasoline out of the evap canaster. The truck is not safe to drive. The problem appears to be the same problem that chrysler has had with chrysler 300. It is malfunctioning shut off float that is allowing fuel to enter purge line. The float is part of the fuel tank and can only be fixed by replacing the $750.00 fuel tank.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000. The VIN was not available. Updated 01/09/15
Truck shuts of without warning, during low idle situation, either coming to a stop, or upon entering a turn at low speed, or even at a stop light. Idle falls to 500rpms, engine shudders and then shuts off. Usually only happens after fuel tank is filled full with gasoline. No check engine codes are present, no malfunctions seemingly present. Condition is sporadic, and unpredictable, and can cause loss of control of vehicle, as power steering shuts off. I have taken the truck to a dealership, and have had diagnostics ran on fuel systems, but no apparent reasons exist that could be tested. Service dealership recommended replacement of fuel tank, due to check valve malfunction, requiring full fuel tank replacement, but no guarantee of repair of problem. This is a dangerous malfunction, as the issue is sporadic, and happens during operation, usually whenever a turn or a stop is involved. Loss of power without notice creates a condition where the driver has to figure out what's going on before reacting, and can cause overruns, or dangers to other vehicles and motorists.
While refueling truck, gas nozzle at gas station kept triggering off and causing fuel to spray out. This happened at a number of different gas stations. I brought the truck to dodge dealer and was advised today that the gas tank has to be replaced because of bad check valves. Truck is not under warranty nor there is any recalls on it for this. I heard of this problem with other dodge cars and trucks. I believe and want an investigation and a recall for this because of the fuel spraying out and possibly causing serious injury, fire and maybe even death because of their faulty fuel tanks. The truck is only 5 years old and has only approx 43k miles on it.
1) the windshield wiper module assembly and fluid froze. That in turn shorted out the totally integrated power module (main computer) was told fcm internal fault needs tipm. Do not have windshield wiper fluid. 2) 1-27-10 heater/defroster quit working. Had to replace the blower motor assembly. When replacing found a broken door in the motor assembly. Have not replaced the door. 3) very bad front end vibration. Was just told that both bearings need to be replaced. 4) check engine light with code need exhaust gas recirculation system valve.
Accelerator sticks to the floor if stepped on too quickly. Multiple attempts to repair and diagnose the cause have failed. Attempts to reproduce the problem at many dealerships has not helped because the sticking of the pedal is very difficult to reproduce when you want it to. Nonetheless,it has occurred at least six times and has made it so my wife is scared to death of the vehicle.
Roll over valve is cracked in 2006 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck gas tank. The check engine light came on at about 75,000 miles (8/09) but the cracked roll over valve was not identified until 4 visits later, about 79,000miles (10/09). Computer codes do not readily identify the cracked roll over valve. The gas tank has to be replaced because the roll over valve is built in. Dodge will not cover a new gas tank under warranty. It is not a usual procedure to replace gas tanks and I wanted to report this defect in the roll over valve. A quick search of the internet found recalls on 2006 model 2500 and 3500 series gas tanks for pickup trucks but none for the 1500 series trucks. Have other complaints for cracked roll over valves been file? I am in the process of scheduling gas tank replacement with in the next week. Do you want the old tank for inspection or have a representative look at it when it is removed from the truck?
I have taken my 2006 dodge pickup 4 times to the dealer I bought it new from with the check engine light coming on and saying on the LED readout to check gas cap. I can smell gas very strongly when I exit the vehicle. I have earnestly tried to get the dealer to fix this problem but to no avail. I have talked with the general manager at the dealer about this too. His response was I'll talked to the service manager on tuesday after labor day weekend. And call when they decide what to do...a week later and still no call to me. I feel they are not upholding my warranty and ignoring a very serious problem that can be combustible just by someone walking by smoking . The fumes from the gas is very strong ...but don't see any leaks. An innocent life or lives could be lost due to this.
