Fuel nozzle becomes lodged/stuck in fuel tank after pumping gas. Issue began when the truck was brand new and been ongoing. Manufacturer and dealership are aware and no action has been taken.
Most, but not all of the gas station filling nozzles stick in my gas filler when I try to remove them. They are very difficult to remove and requires a lot of pulling and twisting to get them out. This happens all the time, not one time as calendar shows.
Fuel nozzle repeatedly gets stuck in fuel filler housing. Unable to dislodge nozzle. Filler assembly broke and filler neck loose. Now unable to fill gas tank
Fuel filler gets stuck in nozzle when fueling vehicle. This has happened numerous times
Vehicle only has 12,800 miles. 4th trip to the local dealer. 3 times towed due to the disable. While driving vehicle shuts down and has no power. 1st time was informed during gen. Maintenance the computer housed no data as the vehicle stalled when putting it into gear. The next 3 times were all identical as it is clear it is starvation of fuel. Fuel pump changed after 1st tow. Sending unit changed after 2nd tow. Not sure after 3rd tow yet. It is incredibly unsafe as the loss of power to the motor creates loss of power steering. Not to mention being disabled in traffic and the safety concerns! In addition the passenger seat buckle has malfunctioned and has been on order for over 3 weeks. Now I can safely have a passenger in the car. Also minor but the front bumper is already rusting! And a couple other things.
After putting the fuel nozzle in gas tank filler pipe, it gets stuck when trying to remove it from the filler pipe. I understand this is very common on this model. Vehicle was parked at gas station and off when filling up. This happens often with this truck and I have less than 3500 miles on it.
Truck has less than a 1,000 miles on it. Made first attempt to fill tank-nozzle difficult to put in tank spilled gas all over, difficult to remove. Needed gas again, my son tried putting gas and had same issue, but more difficult to remove. 3 time I tried filling-extremely difficult to get nozzle in, would only puts small amounts of gas in at a time without shutting off-nozzle would not come out. Station attendants tried with no success, suggested I call a tow truck to remove it. Son lived close so he came and finally had to use a screw driver to remove nozzle. Took truck to dodge-yes they are aware of issue but have no fix and I will just have to deal with it. Looked at dodge chat posts and many people have the same issue. Suggestions from other dealers included replacing the tank at the owners cost ($2,000.00) I chatted withe dodge and they said the same- if it becomes a recall then they would re-imburse the owner. This is a design flaw by the manufacture should be covered by dodge. This is dangerous, spurting fuel and inability to remove the nozzle. I am 72 with a disabled husband and only vehicle available to me -I should not be afraid to put gas in the truck
I observed a owner trying to remove the gas station's filler hose after shut off without success. Once the vapor recovery hose nozel was inserted, the collar on the hose locked on the filler tube. It was extremely difficult to remove, so after jerking etc it finally came out. The problem is the angle of the tube and no clearance from the body of the pickup bed.the owner of the gas station said it was not the first time for this specific vehicle. He is at monroe and walnut at red bluff, ca, 96080. He is a very concerned owner.
