2010 Ram 1500 Fuel System Problems

You took your vehicle to the dealer for a fuel system issue, but they refused to repair it, claiming your older vehicle isn't their responsibility. They gave you a completed repair form without actually doing any work. Your vehicle is now failing brake and light inspections and you can't register it. The dealer said the system update would take 2-3 weeks, but it's been nearly 2 months with no progress.

When I go to get fuel, the tank takes the fuel slower than it should. And if does start to accept the fuel at the pace in which the pumps deliver it, it then overflows.

DRIVER'S SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND BROKEN STUDS/BOLTS AT HEAD. PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED AND BROKEN STUDS/BOLTS. BOTH GASKETS LEAKING ALLOWING GAS AND EXHAUST FUMES INTO QUAD CAB. I AM SURE THIS IS NOT HEALTHY. THIS IS 5.7 L HEMI ENGINE V8

WHEN I START MY 2010 RAM 1500 THERE IS A LOUD TICK COMING FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, FROM THE BOLTS BREAKING DUE TO THE MATERIAL USED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE RISK OF EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAB THROUGH THE VENTS.

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN VEHICLE, THERE IS NOT A SHUT OFF FOR THE GAS TO STOP RUNNING ONCE IT IS FULL. GAS POURS BACK AT YOU EVERY TIME, CAN NOT DEPEND ON ANY SHUT OFF. I PURCHASED THIS FROM A DEALER IN MAY, AND THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE BOOKS, THAT I CAN SEE, BUT WHEN YOU GO ONTO THE WWW, PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT.

WHEN FUELING THE TANK IT OVERFLOWS EVERYTIME. ONLY OWNED IT A WEEK AND BOUGHT FROM DEALER. THE SALES GUY ALSO MENTIONED GETTING GAS ON HIMSELF WHEN HE FILLED IT BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. DIDNT KNOW IT WAS A PERMANENT THING! FILLED AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. DOES THE SAME AT EVERY STATION. HAZARDOUS. GETTING GAS ON US. SAW ON LINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

THE BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE FRONT STRAP FOR THE GAS TANK RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING THE STRAP TO FALL AND THE GAS TANK TO HANG DOWN OFF THE TRUCK. HAD THE BACK STRAP FAILED TOO IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ISSUES....UPDATED 12/11/17 *BF *JS

FRAME CUT-OUT FOR MOUNTING GAS TANK STRAP RUSTED OUT CAUSING STRAP TO DISENGAGE FROM FRAME CAUSING TANK TO DROP.

DURING FUEL FILL GAS WILL OVERFLOW OUT THE FUEL TANK AFTER THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS LEAVES A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK AND IF I WAS STANDING NEAR THE NOZZLE I WOULD BE FULL OF GAS ON MY CLOTHING. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP NO MATTER THE GAS STATION. SEEN DOZENS OF ON-LINE INFORMATION INCLUDING YOU TUBE VIDEOS OF EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER SAME YEAR MODEL TRUCKS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE FUEL TANK STRAPS DETACHED FROM THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSED IT TO HANG SLIGHTLY FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK STRAPS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,871. ...UPDATED 11/01/16 *BF ..UPDATED 09/25/17 *BF *TR

MY FUEL TANK STRAP COMPLETLEY RUSTED OFF THE MOUNTING HANGER ON THE FRAME WHICH ALMOST MADE THE TANK FALL OFF THIS COULD HAVE CREATED A FIRE WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH OVER A WOODEN PLANK, THE CONTACT HEARD A BUMP SOUND. THE CONTACT NOTICED A SEVERE LEAK FROM THE PLASTIC FUEL TANK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK HAD A BIG HOLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

DATE COMPLAINT FILED: 03/03/2014 COMPONENT(S): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE DATE OF INCIDENT: 01/15/2014 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10566905 I HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AS THE COMPLAINT LISTED ABOVE. I HAVE HAD THREE EVENTS OF GAS SPEWING OUT AFTER THE PUMP CLICKS OFF. THE MOST RECENT PROMPTED ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND VAPOR CANISTER. THE DEALER CLEARLY STATES IN THE RECEIPT FOR THE WORK THAT IF THIS DOESN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM THE GAS TANK WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR

UPON FILL-UP AT GAS STATION, GAS WILL "SPIT BACK." THE HANDLE FROM THE PUMP WILL CLICK OFF AND THEN APPROXIMATELY A CUP OR TWO OF FUEL WILL SPIT BACK ONTO THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE AND SPILL ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK ON MY DODGE RAM 1500 2010 AS THE TANK GETS CLOSER TO BEING FULL THE FUEL WILL OVERFLOW OUT OF THE TANK. I HAVE USED DIFFERENT GAS STATION AND IT IS NOT THE GAS STATION. THE LAST SEVERAL TIMES GAS WILL ACTUALLY SPIT OR COME OUT OF THE TANK OVERFLOWING. I HAVE TRIED FILLING THE TANK SLOWLY BY HAND AND I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

MY DODGE RAM 1500 (2010) HAD ITS FUEL PUMP FAIL. I WOULD LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND HAD DIFFICULTY STARTING. IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE, I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION TO THE ON POSITION, WAIT A MOMENT OR TWO, THEN START THE TRUCK. IF I DIDN'T WAIT THE TRUCK WOULDN'T START. SOMETIMES WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR EVEN TO PASS, I WOULD NOTICE A LACK OF POWER AS IF THE ENGINE WAS STARVING FOR FUEL. TWO OR THREE TIMES IT WOULD STALL WHILE WAITING AT AN INTERSECTION FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE TO GREEN. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A DODGE DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE THE FUEL PUMP ONLY LASTS 4 TO 5 YEARS AND THAT WAS WHY IT FAILED. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. SINCE I DIDN'T HAVE OVER $800.00 I HAD TO PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN IN ORDER TO GET IT CHANGED. *TR

GAS WAS SPRAYING OUT AFTER FILL UP AND HAD TO GET GAS TANK REPLACED BECAUSE OF A BAD CHECK VALUE ON THE TANK. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL DODGE VEHICLES. *TR

SINCE DECEMBER, AND EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP SINCE, GAS COMES SPLASHING OUT WHEN IT IS FULL. DIFFERENT PUMPS, DIFFERENT STATIONS, ON SLOW FILL OR FAST, DOESN'T MATTER. WHEN IT GETS FULL GAS GUSHES OUT AND ONTO WHATEVER IS THERE. DODGE/CHRYSLER HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH EARLIER YEARS AND THE INLET CHECK VALVE AND ARE REPAIRING OLDER VEHICLES. MY 2010 ISN'T INCLUDED..YET. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE, AND JUST A ROYAL PAIN. HOW CAN COMPANIES CONTINUE TO PUT CUSTOMERS IN DANGER AND THE GOVERNMENT NOT STEP IN A DO SOMETHING ABOUT. *TR

WHEN I FILL THE TANK AND USE THE HANDLE'S CLASP AT THE PUMP, GAS OVERFILLS AND SPILLS. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GAS STATION OR PUMP. I HAVE TO LISTEN FOR THE FILL SOUND TO CHANGE AND STOP IT EARLY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID A BAD INLET CHECK VALUE. SAID I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. I HAVE WARRANTY WITH A 100 DEDUCTIBLE BUT I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY THIS SINCE THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING UP A STEEP MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY WHEN TRUCK LURCHED VIOLENTLY TWICE AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF A SWITCHBACK CORNER WITH A HORRIBLE DRAGGING SOUND AND SMOKE EVERYWHERE. THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. OIL AND DRIVELINE PARTS WERE ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. DENTED THE GAS TANK (POSSIBLY PUT A HOLE IN THE GAS TANK), WE WERE TOLD THE GAS TANK WAS DAMAGED AND NEEDED REPLACED. THE REAR-END PINION NUT CAME LOOSE AND LOCKED UP THE REAR END CAUSING THE DRIVELINE TO FALL OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, TORE A HOLE IN THE TRANSFER CASE AND DAMAGED THE GAS TANK. WE WERE SIMPLY LUCKY THERE WERE OTHER MOTORISTS ON SAME HIGHWAY THAT COULD STOP AND HELP US AVOID A MAJOR COLLISION ON THE STEEP, BLIND CORNER/ON THE MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY. DODGE IS GIVING US THE "RUN AROUND" ON GETTING THIS FIXED. THEY FINALLY REPAIRED THE TRUCK, PUTTING THE SAME, BUT NEW FAULTY PART THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A RECALL PROCESS, INTO OUR TRUCK AND WANTING US TO BE HAPPY WITH IT. WE ARE NOT. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART IN THE PICKUP. DODGE HAS NO "FIX" FOR US. THEY WANT US TO DRIVE OUR PICKUP WITH THE RECALLED PART UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A FIXED PART. WE ARE NOT WILLING TO DO THIS. WHAT ARE OUR OPTIONS? *TR
