2012 Dodge RAM 1500 fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 126, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I am curious about recall u04. It has to do with the slot corroding that holds the from of the gas tank. Mine has corroded and dropped the gas tank, I called chrysler and they said my VIN was not included. The recall clearly states if the vehicle was registered in maryland at anytime that the recall applies. This is definitely the problem with my truck as the slot has corroded and the strap came down dropping my tank. I would somehow like to get my truck on the recall since it clearly fits the recall description. The chrysler recall reference is u04. When I put in my VIN this recall comes up but I was told by chrysler recall service my VIN is not listed. The number I called was 1‑800‑853‑1403. I was driving on the highway at 70mph when my gas tank dropped. I bought my vehicle at carmax in maryland
The fuel pump runs continuously while the vehicle is turned off with no key in the ignition. This causes the battery to die and usually leaves me stranded. There is also an issue with the traction control. This feature is designed to not let the vehicles rear wheels spin out of ratio, which basically stops the rear tires from spinning out. However, it sends false signals that they are it stalls the vehicle in the middle of intersections. I have almost been tboned several times to due the truck stalling and leaving me a sitting duck to incoming traffic. Lastly, the air bag warning light stays on, leaving me to believe it's also receiving false signals. Hopefully they do not deploy while I'm driving. If they do and I live, I'll be back to tell you about it. After doing a lot of research, all of these issues seem to be related to a bad tipm. This is obviously a major issue on thousands upon thousands of vehicles produced by chrysler and some models have already been recalled after a lawsuit. In my opinion these issues could result in bodily injury or death, and a safety recall should not be denied.
Will looking under the bottom of my truck I noticed the fuel tank sagging. Further inspection showed that the front bracket that holds the fuel tank up is hanging down. The t slot that holds the brave is rusted and will not hold the bracket in. After further investigation found u04 recall. Contacted dealer and was told that the truck does not meet the recall. Even though it is a 2012 dodge ram 1500 built at the saltillo plant in mexico on 9/10/2011 and was registered and driven in west virginia (salt belt state).*dt

Y'all manifolds are faulty. I just replaced my manifold and screw two years ago and agin the same issue this cost 800-900 dollars. This is faulty on manufacturer part.
While driving at 30 to 35 MPH, truck loses power and goes to idle for 5 to 15 seconds then resumes power. Very scary in traffic.
Existing case #11308350 hissing sound in gas tank while on road in motion, on a city street, and a highway and turning and stationary, even noticed it when truck is turned off and sound will not turn off, killed one battery already, truck does not smell like gas. Maybe electrical definitely should be recalled seems dangerous. May also add that driver seat is flat and ripped due to manufacture defect like most cars and trucks, common issue should be recalled thank you

Truck shuts off while driving. Relay problem. Had told get towed twice $165 each time. Was going 50mph when truck lost all power in metairie louisiana on the causeway bridge 1st time. This can kill someone! This could have killed my family! I will never buy another dodge truck! Chevy I will stick too! I know anything you buy can have a problem but when people complain about the same problems and nothing is done it's bad business! This is not some people are doing to dodge trucks this is something that is going on with the maker of this trucks! So is anybody gonna do something? Will our trucks get fixed? I paid money to buy a truck that I keep up and do not have any other problems but the relay lose of all power while driving, now why and how is that? Is a dodge truck suppose to do that? When buying my truck did anybody tell me this would happen? No! Should I be responsible, no! This truck could kill people! I wasted my money on buying this truck.

Fuel pump relay will not shut off causing battery to die
I started to have trouble with the truck as it would not start in the mornings when I was trying to go to work. I replaced the fuel pump and it did not solve the problem. Shortly after that, my battery would be dead most mornings. I replaced the battery, but still the problems continued. The truck started to lose power while I was driving so I took it to a mechanic. He told me that the tipm was faulty and needed to be replaced. I had to take it to the dealership I purchased it from to have it fixed. I have driven the truck less that 7000 miles since I purchased it. After speaking with fca, they say that they won't do anything to help out because the truck is out of warranty. I want to know why a recall was never put in place and enacted because I have seen thousands of complaints from people having the same problems. I would like to know why I'm having to pay $1794.03 out of pocket for the faults of the manufacturer pf the vehicle.

Fuel filler overflow when using automatic cutoff on gas station pumps. Significant amount of fuel spewing out. Appears to be a safety problem. Good video already on youtube. Happens almost every fill up. Widely reported on dodge ram forum affecting model years back to at least 2009.
Fuel pump relay faulty which could of caused accident.inferior design that was not included in a recall that some other vehicles by same manufacturer were.no easy permanent fix except taking to dealer for 90.00 bypass kit or a 1000.00 tipm unit.thankfully vehicle was parked when failed.
2012 ram 1500 VIN not included in recalled VIN had the front fuel strap pull out of frame and was not holding up the gas tank. I am unsure if this let loose when stationary or while driving. The front of the gas tank was close to the ground nearly making contact. I am reporting this because the dealership said it was not part of the recall group and there may be more VIN's that need recalled.

There has been a recall on the durango and jeep cherokee with same relay in the fuse box (tipm) my fuel pump continues to run after truck is shut off creating a fire hazard. There are websites dedicated and making money on fixing this known problem. Please look further into it. And feel free to contact me if need be.
2012 ram 1500 was repaired on 11/09/2018 due to 18v160000 frame bracket issue.. A few days after recall action occurred the engine check light came on signifying the gas cap was leaking and needed to be replaced. Dealer tech checked and said there was a small evaporation leak but the gas cap seemed to be sealing ok. Dealer tech reset the engine check light. Week later light came back on. I bought a new gas cap and replaced old one. Reset the engine check light. Message now back and I get no response from the dealer or chrysler customer support. If this is an evaporation leak in this fuel system I would believe this is an environment issue. How many others have had this recall performed and face the same issue?
Fuel pump failing intermittently. Mechanic diagnosed a bad fuel pump relay on the tipm. I have found this is a very common problem and other chrysler products with same issue have been recalled but the ram trucks with the identical part and problem have not been recalled. Failure of fuel pump while driving could cause vehicle to stall with possibility of crash causing injury or death. So far the fuel pump failure has only happened when starting but I have read on forums of failure during driving.
I'm one of the few owners of a ram 1500 with a common problem. The fuel pump relay. It has become a constant problem with ram owners like myself. First it seems as if your fuel pump had gone out and your truck will not start. After contacting mechanics and paying around $900to replace it the problem stills exist. Then after sonorous attempts to find out what the problem is it's the relay that ram dealers know all about. It cost around a$1000 or more to have it repaired. I've contacted them and made them aware of the problem that myself and others are experiencing and they say there's nothing they can do they will not recall the problem they know your going to have prior to purchasing the truck. Please help us to resolve this ongoing issue. Thankyou.
Tipm computer issues. Fuel pump not shutting off dur to relay sticking inside the tipm. Random engine shutdown in traffic. Abs system inactive due to electrical issues inside the tipm. Engine codes from options not installed in the truck from factory. Tipm not recognizing key in ignition (cannot start with key. Only by remote) brake failure due to ABS module not getting signal from tipm.
