Diesel exhaust smell in cab sometimes very strong causes headaches dizziness when stopped at stoplights, signs, idling or moving slow. Opening windows does not really help unless you are moving, cannot sit an idle and stay in cab very long. Cool or cold weather seems to make it worse. Have had it into the dealer twice for the issue but they can never find it.
2015 Ram 2500 fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My truck has raw burning diesel exhaust coming in the air vents on the dash that poisoned my family for an entire year before we were aware of the problem. You can smell the solvent/spray paint type smell 100 foot diameter on a calm day. Parked 99% since may 5th because 1 dealership says its unsafe to drive and the other refuses to document the problem. It is now being towed to a third dealership. My son and I had elevated carbon monoxide levels in our blood the day the ram mechanic advised us it was diesel exhaust.the skin on my face, arms,knees was blistering and falling off for several months. I first asked doctors in october 2015 and remained in the defective truck until may 2016. My vision was blurry when driving and my eyes were burning. We thought it was glue smell or new car smell. My 11 year old son was dizzy, had headaches, and would fall asleep quickly everyday. He complained to his school after we sat in traffic every morning. We had breathing problems and toxicologist at uc davis medical center confirmed aggravated skin damage from diesel exhaust. When we parked the truck all headaches, dizziness, sleepiness, skin blisters, burning eyes, coughing attacks, and confusion went away. Skin is now permanently damaged and no new skin spots or blistering have appeared since parking the truck, but it still falls off every day. My eyes are permanently damaged. The future effects of diesel chemicals are unknown. My truck is unsafe to drive my son to school 2 miles because we sit in traffic and the cab fills with fumes. The fumes also come in at every stop sign or stop light. The carb said the solvent type smell is raw diesel burning in the exhaust pipe and this should not be happening,my exhaust should have no smell at all.carb said this type of problem may not be recognizable on the diagnostics being plugged in to the truck computer. Please help!

Fuel is venting from the vapor canistar,this fuel vapor canistar is located right next to the fuel fill hose and is tye-wrap to it.during fueling of diesel product the fuel tank is pressurized and vapor fumes come from this vapor canistar.the diesel vapor is not allowed to vent into the atmosphere so is suppose to be contain here at this canistar.also during fueling of diesel product the tank becomes pressurized as fuel is occupling space forces the vapor up the canistar what is happening I noticed is that fuel also comes out of the vapor canistar and runs down the outside of the diesel fill hose and on to the inside of the lower bed body.no fuel of any kind must come out of any truck,SUV,car during fueling.if you look on the internet you can find other ram 2500 owners in the 2014 ram model year experiencing this as well.I have notify ram customer service and ask that a ram engineer contact me or someone from ram that understands this truck,to date no one has called me and that was 2 weeks ago.
