Started my truck up. Then shifted into reverse with my foot on the brake, the truck suddenly went into a sudden acceleration. Like I had my foot on the gas pedal. I had to steep on the brake pedal very hard and even with that the 5.7 hemi was a lot of power to stop. I avoided hitting a concrete wall and a side of a house. Luckily I shifted into park and turned it off. It could of ended very badly. I now am not going to use the truck until I find out what's going on. I have called dodge corporation and they said they never heard of that happening or not at liberty to say. I have contacted my local dodge dealership and made an appointment for a diagnostic test. They told me on the phone that this is the first time that they ever heard of such a thing happening. I advised them to take a look at google and type in dodge ram sudden acceleration. Upon my own research a number of dodge mechanics have said the following. 1. Floor mat was stuck under pedal 2. Tps sensor 3. Iac sensor 5. Throttle body one or all needs to be replaced. In conclusion I would hope that dodge looks and address this matter before it's to late.

After filling with gas engine stalls leaving no steering when stopping at red light stop sign or making a turn while braking.
Having problems with getting fuel to tank, transmission not shifting correct, constantly going through brakes and tires on from driver side.
Takata recall having many issues with 2007 ram 1500 4x4 quad cab. Transmission isn't acting right. Something wrong with driver front wheel assembly, can not pump more than a few cents of fuel at a time when fueling. And just recently I could not get it over 30 miles an hour. Engine did not rev seemed as if not getting fuel.
After the fuel tank is completely filled and the gas station refueling pump stops about a half a gallon of gasoline will violently spray out of the vehicle's refueling tube. This creates a puddle of fuel and often sprays on me. The spray comes out of the hole you insert the refueling nozzle into. I owed a 2006 dodge durango with the same engine that had the exact same issue. I'm sure this is a common issue with this manufacturer.
Every time I fill the tank with gas the gas blows out.of the filler. This problem has persisted since the truck was new.
Vehicle failed to restart while parked. Fuel system relay failure is being blamed. The relay is part of the totally integrated power module system which has also failed. Owner is thankful that become was parked at the time of fact and was not being driven before the sudden failure of tipm component. Vehicle remains inoperative at current.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 1500. While driving 20 MPH, the vehicle stalled and was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump, ignition, and ignition reader failed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the vehicle failed to start after the repairs were performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 116,000.
Driving and the vehicle quit. Not getting gas. Have a half tank of gas.
I purchased my vehicle 7 days ago. I have discovered a dangerous issue that only presents itself immediately after refueling. At low speeds in, turning, or while maneuvering through traffic the truck will chug and then die. Leaving my vehicle without power steering and little braking ability. It happened twice after fueling friday, and then again three times after fueling today. Two of the three times I was in heavy traffic and was almost in a collision by unsuspecting drivers behind me. The third time I was turning onto a sharp on ramp to merge into traffic. Thankfully it died at the bottom of the ramp and not at the top where I would have been in traffic. And thankfully my wife wasn't driving, because without power steering her and my two daughters would have likely straightened out the on ramp and found themselves at the bottom of a steep bank. If this would happen while crossing a busy intersection a collision would be highly likely with fatalities for sure. The problem lasts for about the fist ten to fifteen miles of driving, and dies at lower speeds 0-25 MPH. I have read about the federal safety agency investigations into other chrysler vehicles presenting the same issues, and where the warranties have been extended on the fuel tanks to resolve the issue. These warranties must be extended to the 2007 dodge ram 1500 as well in order to resolve this issue before someone is caught in traffic and killed.
Since the truck was new it would spew gas from the filler tube after the fuel pump shuts off. There is an extended warranty on the fuel tank inlet check valve. Even though my problem is exactly what is described, because my VIN number search doesnt show my truck as being invlolved in the problem, dodge will not fix the check valve.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the check engine and the check fuel cap warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel cap needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 63,000.
Truck began stalling with engine shutting off at random: while driving, at stop lights, etc. Truck would not restart for various lengths of time. Diagnosed as a bad fuel pump. Fuel pump replaced with no improvement in behavior. Diagnosed as intermittent random no electrical power to fuel pump module caused by malfunctioning tipm. Replacement is $900-$1100. Told this is a common occurrence with chrysler/dodge tipms, with no guarantee of non-recurrence. Total loss of engine power due to a shut down of the fuel pump module while driving did not result in an accident, but the potential for an accident was huge. Dodge dealer does not acknowledge a problem with tipms, but their mechanic has communicated that there are so many issues with tipms, that they have the part on back-order. Please look into the tipm problem and dodge's complete control over the replacement/programming of these modules, holding owners hostage.
Cannot add fuel to vehicle tank. Stops after a few seconds. Service department knocked the plastic ball into the tank (thinking this would work, it didn't) that stops gas siphoning. Still cannot fill tank. Truck has 91,000 miles and have always put the same gas (93 octane) .
Engine light and gas cap light keep coming on. Replaced gas cap. Light still coming on. Independent garage says there is an air leak in line. Appears to be a reoccurring issue with fuel lines on this model that leak because they rub on housing and not install proper by manufacturer. Local dealer says it will be 1,100 to 1,400 to fix fuel lines.
When filling gas tank, gas shoots out the top when full. Happens at every gas station. Recently took vehicle to dealership for this issue and a gascap warning light and service engine light. Service advisor at dealership said the fuel inlet valve was leaking at a weld seam. Cost of repair is $1240.00. When this occurs about a half gallon of gasoline spews onto the cement which at times in phoenix reaches 120 degrees.plus. Not to mention this could get on me, in my eyes or someone else in the vicinity. This is a huge safety issue and needs to be addressed immediately. After researching this issue I have found that similar vehicles in similar years with the similar engine have had the same issue; such as the 2007 dodge durango with the 4.7l v-8 engine.
When gas tank is filled to the top, fuel leaks out of the top of the tank. Truck always smells like gas but only leaks when filled past 25 gallons (30 gallon tank) I just purchased the truck used but have saw other complaints about this.
The fuel emissions vent broke off of fuel tank. I can not fill my tank cause gas will spill all over the ground. Engine light comes on and gascap on mileage display. Dodge told me $800 for a new tank. Said that it should not have broke off and it looked as if it has been that way for a while.
I filled up my gas tank with fuel and as I was merging onto the highway, the car stalled. It continued to stall for about 50 miles. Now every time I fill up my tank it will stall on me until I drive about 30-50 miles and the tank is no longer full. It is very dangerous and I cant let my wife or family drive it for fear of stalling and having an accident.
While waiting in traffic for light to change at corner of jackson bluff road and hwy 544, conway, sc, on 4 august 2012, truck suddenly accelerated even when brake was applied. Was able to whip truck onto sidewalk at jackson bluff rd & 544 to avoid an accident. It appeared that truck engine accelerated to as much as 2000 RPM even with brake on as firm as possible.
When I fill up my gas tank fuel always spits out after the pump shuts off. It does it at every filling station I have used. It is like the tank is burping.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 1500. While the vehicle was parked, the contact detected the fuel tank exhibited a small pinhole. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection. The technician informed that the fuel tank would need to be replaced at the estimated cost of $4,000. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was 49,509.
2007 ram 1500 4.7 automatic. 16000 miles. Using auto shut off at gas station, always back splashes. Even back splashes when I manually put the gas in slow when I know it's getting close to full. No way to stop the back splash, and it's not just a small amount that comes out either. This is a continual problem since bought new.
On my 2007 dodge ram 1500 quad cab everytime I fill it with gas it overflows after automatic shutoff on the pump. This results in gas spraying everywhere. This happens each time I fill the tank to the point I no longer feel safe to fill the tank completely.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge ram 1500. The contact received a recall notice two weeks ago for a fuel leak. The fuel shield needed to be replaced. He called the dealer three times, but could not get a response. The dealer finally stated that it may take three to four months before the vehicle could be serviced. The recall notice stated that the repair would only take thirty minutes to an hour to complete. The dealer stated that they do not take appointments and would have to keep his vehicle for 3-4 days. The recall notice number was unknown. The current and failure mileages were 580.
