1996 Dodge RAM 2500 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 23 of 23, newest first, as owners wrote them.
A fuel hose approximately 20" long with a diameter of 5/16" has split and is leaking diesel fuel in excessive amounts. Hose installed in vehicle was not compatible with handling diesel fuel and it corroded. Dealership has not examined vehicle. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
Talked w/ several other ram owners with same problem. Dealer also confirmed that there has been several complaints about the malfunction with the diesel . I feel that because there is no way to know the amount of fuel in the vehicle when fueling this is a safety as well as an envirmental hazard.
The throttle cable frayed causing it to stick on occasions, the cable has not stuck at full throttle.
A non-metallic hose rubbing against engine causes fuel leakage. This could lead to a possible fire under hose. Dealer / manufacturer were not notified at this time. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
The injection pump failed and the vehicle started to idle wide open, consumer was unable to turn motor off with the key and had to stall the motor out. Nlm
Fuel pump failure.
I was parked next to a curb in a lot at work care was behind me. Had to go over curb at 1-2mph heard bang tire blew out. Drove across street, pulled into lot, got out, gas tank dragging ground and sloshed gas all over road. Driveshaft had been turning against metal plate on side of tank-straps broke-had no warning of anything wrong-had to have truck towed-sloshed gas all over trailer-drivers' parting words "pray for me". I called dodge told them I wasn't paying for a safety defect, and that I wasn't happy. They called dealer dealer took care of it no charge. Very upsetting having gas tank fall off of what is supposed to be a heavy duty truck. Appears only one strap holding tank up -no secondary supports. Anybody else have this type of thing happened to them? I can't imagine being in a wreck if it is that fragile.
The under part of the cargo area of the truck caught on fire due to the muffler catching fire, and there was also a hole in the gas tank. Dealer replaced muffler and fuel tank.
Continuous stalling while driving, smell of diesel fuel, and no start or crank over for a week.
While filling the gas tank, just before it (gasoline) clicks on pump, would have an overflow or spillage. The vehicle has a single tank. The neck on the pipe filler does not work properly. Taking vehicle to dealer to have mechanic look at it.
Excessive wear of front brake calipers/pads and rotors. In addition, wheel cylinders /tie rod end/fuel injection pump/radio malfunctioned.
The front brakes when applied are causing the truck to pull to either side. *ak left front bearing seatl leaked, dealer has installed new hub and rotor assembly on left front, replaced pads and disc brakes, replaced caliper assembly. Vehicle idles too fast, fuel injector pump replaced due to engine smoking. Steering wheel was off center.
