Ecm needs updated
Started smelling fuel in the cab followed by fuel leaking while driving. Vehicle is smoking from the amount of fuel that is leaking. The entire under carriage is covered in fuel. This is due to a faulty injector line and # 6 injector tube. This could potentially cause a fire and death.
The vehicle has serious issues with it's emissions system. First the egr was replaced at a dealership for $2,000 and they must not have reprogrammed the computer because after the installation the entire exhaust system failed and it went into limp mode at 10 MPH and now it is another $7,000 repair. Dodge should be recalling this truck for emissions system problems since it's apparently a known issue.
Gas vac light comes on it is not the gas cap and stays on
Vehicle has an accelerator lag when pushing down fast on the throttle. In circumstances where you need the vehicle to respond quickly in order to avoid another vehicle the accelerator lags for 1 to 3 seconds before responding. This occurred while in very slow motion crossing a city street. Was turning across tracfic where vehicles were coming over a hill.
The truck is a cng model and the cng regulator has failed. The truck will not run on cng without replacing the $1800 part. The regulator emits the natural gas into open air that can be smelled in the cab.
Drove for about 17 miles and parked at a store. Within 5 minutes of parking the truck, white smoke could be seen coming from the hood on the passenger side. As I approached the truck flames came out from under the hood in the same area. Grabbed a fire extinguisher and returned within one minute to find entire engine compartment in flames. Unable to open the hood so the fire extinguisher was not much good. Fire department arrived within 5 minutes but it was too late. Insurance company took possession of the truck and totaled it. Unknown if it was ever determined what caused the fire. *bf updated 7/26/18
Water in fuel light comes on for no reason, known defect with wiring/sensor. Could leave you disabled on roadway. Engine warranty requires you to stop and have it checked or could void warranty. They have service bulletins. Needs to be a full recall for the defective parts
This truck has a very capable motor. However, the electronics governing the motor have made it unsafe. When you floor the gas pedal (and really need the truck to move for safety, to clear an intersection or merge) there is no response. Knowing trucks like I do, this vehicle should have more than enough power to move swiftly but instead it just crawls due to electronic regulation on the motor. This is a huge safety concern.
