2017 Ram 1500 fuel system complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 130 of 130, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Having issues when pumping gas, the gas pump stops when fueling the entire time due to the fueling filler neck. If placing the fuel handle properly it locks onto the fuel neck filler and doesnt let fumes exit and chokes up. Beyond difficult to take off and to pump fuel.
The ram dealership has refused to fix my vehicle for safety recall 19v‑757
I have a 2017 ram 1500 eco diesel. I have received a recall on it for the diesel egr cooler. I brought the vehicle in once and after a computer check with the service department, they said that it did not need to be replaced. Chrysler sent me more recall notices that said I needed to get it repaired. I spoke with chrysler and told them that I had it checked and they informed me that I did need to have the recall fixed. I scheduled another appointment for oct 16 to get it fixed. After my truck was at the dealership all day, I decided to call and get the status on the repair only to be informed that the service department was not going to repair it because there was no check engine light or leak. I found this odd for a safety recall, so I checked with chrysler again and read the recall instructions. The instructions clearly state that the recall is to be fixed and the only reason to check for a light or a leak is to see if the manifold is bad also. Im not sure why any safety recall would not be fixed asap, especially when the recall says to get it fixed immediately..
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving, the check engine warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. Additionally, the fuel gauge displayed an inaccurate fuel level. The contact stated that with a full fuel tank, the fuel gauge indicated an empty fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump sensor was defective. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer foss motors located at 133 portsmouth ave, exeter, nh 03833, and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 44,000.
Fuel sensor failure: as soon as the fuel level in the tank goes below half tank while driving, the sensor fails and shows no fuel in the tank. Driver has no accurate idea of the correct fuel amount until you refill the tank to above the half tank level. There is a recall that exist for other models of 2017 dodge ram 1500 trucks. (recall # 17v434000). My vehicle did not have the recall listed under its criteria. An attempt was made to get this recall applied to my vehicle at a local dealership. However, the service manager would not, or could not, fix this problem on my vehicle without an applied recall. This vehicle was purchased nov 26th, 2017. The 1st occurrence of this malfunction was in june 2018.
I live in ca and after fueling 2017 ram rebel the fuel nozzles has gotten stuck multiple times, I cant even stick the nozzle half ways to fuel because then it clicks and stops fueling. My girlfriend cant borrow the truck in fear that if she tries to pump gas it will get stuck on her too. It really shouldn't be this much of a hassle to pump gas. This always happens when I am trying to pump gas.
Fuel pump and fuel tank gauge are one assembly. System failed at 50k miles. Dealer indicated this is a known problem and entire assembly must be changed at a cost of $1200. Ram will not cover under warranty. I contacted chrysler/ram support and they said they would not be able to assist.
With a full fuel tank everything is good. Between 3/4 and 1/2 tank the fuel gauge goes to empty, out of gas light blinks and fuel sensor fail light comes on. 5 minutes later gauge is back to 3/4 tank and fuel sensor fail engine warning still on. Made a few stops and engine fail light goes off. Then it all starts over and over.fuel sensor fail and gauge goes to empty.only 429201 miles. Dangerous defect. Common complaint
Notice vb!/the federal safety agency 19v‑757 received december 2019. Advised today by fca fix not available until april 2020 earliest. Failure of recalled part, diesel egr cooler, may result in engine fire. Unacceptable that replacement part is not immediately available! I have reduced driving this vehicle due to uncertainty.
The fuel quantity indicator is defective. One the tank is half full the gage goes to zero and the low fuel warning light illiminates, also the fuel system failure light comes on
Check engine light comes on and fuel gauge drops to empty. Light will go off when tank is full and comes on at 3/4. Code reads fuel sensor input level high voltage.
Fuel sensor failure on two different occasions. One was replaced (fuel rail pressure sensor) and the other has not been yet due to the very high price of the repair ($800 - $1000). Fuel gauge reads full and then suddenly drops to empty. I have been advised that this is a common problem.
I filled up my vehicle with fuel on tuesday. I was driving down the highway thursday when all the sudden the fuel light came on along with a message. Then I noticed my fuel gauge read empty. I know it wasn't empty because I filled up 2 days earlier. I went through the notification tabs and went to messages and when I opened the message it read, "fuel sensor fail" about 5 minutes later the check engine light came on and both lights stayed on. Fuel gauge still reads empty. The truck only has 40350 miles on it and seams to be too soon for anything like this to happen.
After filling up the gas tank to full, engine light comes out, eco stops working and fuel gauge goes crazy by going down to empty and back to full
Fuel sensor has failed at 42000 miles while in motion. Lifters have made bad noise since new, dealership has replace lifters but noise is still there intermittently while sitting still on start up
Fuel nozzle gets stuck when filling up at gas stations. I've had this truck a year and a half now and it's so frustrating. Cannot go to costco as it gets stuck and constantly clicks off, 10 gallons after thirty minutes! On another instance the attendant had to come out with a screwdriver and pry up the nozzle and yank it out! On a new truck? Seriously! It's a documented issue all over the internet, fca made the fuel angle too steep and not enough room to adjust once it's in the neck. I now have to barely insert the nozzle so it doesn't click in or seal against the filler neck, bypassing the epa controls and hold it so it won't get stuck or click off! So in essence to fuel up I have to pollute more, stupid! If in doubt check the internet for ram owners forums, it's all over the place.
Just bought a used truck from vandehey brantmier in chilton wi three months ago and the fuel level sensor fail light comes on check engine light comes on. Took it to the dealership and they said it needs a fuel level sensor and pump. My 2017 ram 1500 needs this and it is not covered under warranty or anything and this is a known issue for a long time but nothing has been done. This needs to change
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 1500. While the contact was filling the fuel tank, the fuel nozzle became stuck on the fuel filler neck. The vehicle was taken to grown dodge chrysler jeep ram (located at 6300 king dr, ventura, ca 93003, (805) 918-4485) where it was diagnosed that the fuel filler neck needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the fuel filler neck was previously replaced for the same failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but did not assist. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.
Fuel sensor fail, once fuel gets to just below half a tank, the fuel sensor fails amd gas guage drops to empty, check engine light comes on, also the eco sustem will fail for fuel savings. I fear the truck will shut off while driving because it will think it has no fuel. I have researched multiple complaints on this issue on line. Issue has been ongoing since 4/15/19. Milage on truck is 46000. Mileage is same as prevoius complaints for same issue.
2017 ram 1500. Consumer writes in regards to fuel tank strap mounting bracket safety recall. *ld the consumer disapproved of the warranty extension being the solution to the fuel tank strap mounting bracket failure.
I can have a full tank of gas and it will say low gas and the gas light will come on sometimes the check engine light will come on and read fuel sensor error
Gas station fuel filler nozzle gets stuck in vehicle fuel filler neck. This happens repeatedly and at different stations. No visible vehicle faults. Attempts to remove filler nozzle has caused cuts to hands and spilled fuel.it sometimes takes several minutes to free fuel filler without damaging vehicle. Must defeat vapor recovery by collapsing rubber boot in order to fuel vehicle. Dealer not interested .vehicle was stationary parked at gas pumps for refueling.
My 2017 ram 1500 quad cab has a fuel sensor fail. I looked it up and apparently many people have this issue with ram trucks.
The gas pump nozzles no longer work when filling up the tank. It seems that they do not like the angle of the fill neck on the truck. They shut off after only about 1/2 gallon is used into the tank.
The fuel level sensor for the past approximately 10,000 miles intermittently quits reading the fuel level. The fuel level gauge in the dash cluster drops to empty, regardless of the actual fuel level. The message 'fuel sensor failure' appears on the dash cluster. Sometimes it stay for a few seconds, and other times it stays for a few minutes. Then it returns to working order and gives an accurate reading of the fuel level. Other times the check engine light comes on, and I have to clear the check engine light with a code reader. Code reader states code p0463 fuel level sensor. This code appears without the fuel gauge changing.
My ram 1500 just rolled over the 36k factory warranty and my transmission light cam and my fuel lever indicator failed. I am afraid that the truck will shut off when the fuel lever drops to e but I know there is fuel in the truck. Also when my transmission light comes on the eco fuel system does not work any more. No messages appear on my message panel. When the fuel sensor failure happens I am driving on the highway and I just made a left turn. I have also have issues with my radio turning its self off or adjusting the volume by its self.. I have also experienced my digital odometer reading to just disappear at random times. My transmission light comes on randomly. It is sad that I bought a new truck with 12 miles on it and now I have all these problems. I just don't trust the truck and don't feel like it is safe to drive. The radio issue happened the next day after I purchased the truck...I am so sick of this
The truck has a lack of acceleration. When you press down the throttle it takes 5 seconds or more for it to respond causing a major safety concern. So much that you cannot cross traffic and or accelerate up the hill where it declines in speed. I live in the northwest in colder climates was snow and I lose acceleration and traction when going up hills. I have been in numerous close calls. It has been to the dealership 3 * and chrysler says it operates on design because it is not throwing any codes for them to read. I want to know where a 5 second delay in acceleration is safe? I purchased the vehicle october 31st 2017 1st complaint and time to the dealership was in december and that continues to get worse the truck only has 6500 miles on it.
Cold start engine exhaust temperature too low
I am having an issue with the fuel guage and the fuel system lights on the truck. I took it in for service and they are saying the parts are on backorder. The fuel guage is showing no fuel in the car and I am concerned the car could cut off and I could lose control of it. They do not know when the parts will become available. I am concerned for myself, my family and others. I called chrysler and they were unable to help me get into the dealer sooner for repairs. They want me to wait 17 days to address the problem
