2019 Ram 1500 fuel system problems

Filed Oct 26, 2026 · Fuel system · MO

The failed component is the high-pressure fuel pump, which the dealer confirmed failed and contaminated the fuel system. I do not know whether the failed pump will be available for inspection, since the dealer is replacing it. The engine stalled while I was driving on [road type, e.g., a highway] with my family [in the vehicle / traveling with me] and would not restart, which put us at risk of losing power in traffic. The dealer confirmed the failure and opened the recall repair. To my knowledge, the manufacturer has not inspected the truck. The red throttle warning light came on and the truck stored a P016F fuel pressure code at the time of the failure. A MAP sensor code had appeared earlier and cleared, but I'm not aware of other warning signs before the failure.

On XXX, approx. 1615 hours, I was traveling EB on I70 in [XXX]. The cruise control was set at approximately 72MPH. I was in the left lane of travel and both my wife and I heard a revving noise and as I looked at the dashboard, I noticed the RPM gauge was high, I hit the brakes and started to go to the right lane and the entire vehicle shut down. All within a matter of 5-10 seconds. The dash indicated to put the truck in park to start it. I was able to make it to the shoulder and get the vehicle stopped and in park. I popped the hood and looked around the engine compartment. I saw no fluids leaking and no steam or smoke coming from the engine. I then attempted to restart the vehicle and it did absolutely nothing. Vehicle was towed to a RAM dealership, [XXX] CRJD in [XXX]. The did a cursory inspection ad determined that the engine was seized up but gave no indication as to the cause. Recommendation was to replace engine at a cost of nearly 18K dollars. Upon conducting further investigation on my own, I discovered that the Z46 recall of the HPFP, described with total accuracy what I experienced on the highway that day. The recall was performed on my vehicle on XXX. It is fully my belief that the fuel pump that was replace through the recall has now failed in the same manner as described in the recall and was the cause of the complete engine failure. I have notified the dealership of my findings and opinions, and they are unwilling to investigate further without direction from the manufacturer. Notified Service Manager, [XXX]. (XXX) 1302 hours On XXX (1310 hours) I notified the RAM Recall Team, [XXX], of the situation. He advised that it was to be escalated to case/claim and that I would be contacted by a case file agent.

Whenever I refuel my truck the pressure in the fuel tank causes fuel to spit out of the fill neck. It is a common, known, issue among RAM trucks involving the fuel line. It takes me 20 to fill the tank up because of this issue, and I’m constantly having the fuel spitting out at me and the ground. This is a safety/fire hazard that needs to be addressed by RAM. Apparently the only fix is to replace the entire tank which is costly and frustrating. RAM acknowledges this yet they won’t fix the issue, and requires the owners to pay out of pocket to fix this. Being a safety hazard they should be on the hook for the cost. Thought it was a minor issue for a while that would only happen on occasion , but now it’s happening every time I try to fill. That’s when I did the research and found this is a normal issue. The dealer wants to charge me just for them to diagnose the issue before they will repair it.

On March, while I was leaving to take my children to school, I discovered a loud, heavy metallic knocking sound coming from the engine of my 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. As I depressed the gas pedal, the knocking frequency increased immediately with the engine RPMs. Prior to this total failure, I had noticed the truck feeling hesitant and "stuttering" when I was trying to accelerate from red lights in the days leading up to the incident. ​Because I was concerned the engine would stall or fail completely while my children were in the vehicle, I immediately stopped driving it. A subsequent inspection at Don White’s CDJR confirmed DTC P051B-00 (Crankcase Pressure Sensor Performance). This fault is a recognized indicator of excessive crankcase pressure, which the federal safety agency has identified as a precursor to sudden engine stalling and fire risks in 3.0L EcoDiesel engines (Ref: Recall 19V‑757).

Went to do the 10000 mile maintenance, after the oil change and changing all the filters. The truck wouldn’t start, had a mechanic look at it and he said it’s a faulty fuel pump. Called the dealership as there is a recall for that part and it was serviced less than two years ago. So it’s covered under that and the recall warranty. The dealership is refusing to fix the truck, Chrysler customer care in Canada says it’s the U.S. office’s problem and they have to do it. U.S. office says I have to find a broker to switch the marketplace to the U.S.. Have called 40 places and no one including the dealerships knows what they are talking about with the broker. So now I have a truck I’ve owned for less than six months that needs possibly a 3000 dollar repair. That they should be doing free of charge.

When fueling up the truck the gas pump keeps clicking like if the truck is full of fuel but it isn’t. The truck has a cap less system so there’s a valve on top of the gas tank that is supposed to let the fuel into the fuel tank once gas starts pouring in. The valve gets stuck and it takes a long time to refuel. There’s no way to replace that valve because it’s molded into the gas tank so it can’t be replaced without replacing the whole gas tank itself.

1The roller valve on the gas tank 2Roller valve is stuck in the closed position, causing a hazard when trying to refill gas tank. 3Dealer wrote up a repair sheet, cost of $1600.00+ . I was told they had other trucks in with the same problem and only way to fix is replacing the whole gas tank. 4No it has not been inspected, all my info is from employees that write up the work order.. 5Have been having this problem since August 2025. 6 I feel this is a safety item that should be covered by the manufacturer just like an air bag or any other vehicle safety device. It is a very poor design in its self that makes it a hazard.

I bought this truck 11/13/2025 and it has been in the shop since I bought it. It’s been “fixed” 4 times, including replacing the fuel pump. The vehicle is still stalling out and the same check engine code po62A keeps popping up. The engine light has popped up right after I’ve picked it up from the mechanic every time. It’s been to 3 different mechanics and no one can seem to fix the issue. It has become unsafe for me to drive. The dealership is no longer returner my calls or helping with these issues. I’m stuck paying off a vehicle that isn’t properly running.

Cannot put gas in tank without the gas pump continuously shutting off the flow. Was told by Dodge technicians that it was a faulty roll-over valve ( believe this is a safety item ) in the gas tank. Was told the only way to fix it is to replace the gas tank. They have had other dodge trucks in for the same problem. Being this is a safety item ( keeps gas from spilling out during a roll-over accident) I would think there should be a recall to repair. If possible could you also give me information on how to contact Dodge headquarters to register a complaint. This is a 1600.00 fix that I feel I should not be held responsible for. There are no warning lights accompanying this. Techs at JOHNSONS AND SONS dodge dealer in Wis. Rapids, WI. have recommended replacement to fix the problem. Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter it is appreciated.

Problem Description: Beginning in early 2025, the vehicle started experiencing intermittent electrical malfunctions that cause it to lose power unexpectedly while driving. The issue occurs without warning, creating a significant safety hazard for both the driver and other motorists. The vehicle has been taken to an authorized Ram service center on four separate occasions (February 2025, July 2025, September 2025, and October 2025), but the problem has not been resolved. Each time, the service center has been unable to identify or repair the root cause. The vehicle is still under an active Mopar Vehicle Protection Plan (Account#[XXX]), and all service has been performed at Commonwealth Dodge in Louisville, Kentucky. Despite these multiple repair attempts, the truck continues to lose power intermittently, making it unreliable and unsafe to operate.
