Owner Complaints (83)
After your vehicle had recall service to replace the high-pressure fuel pump at a Ram dealership on March 25, 2025, a high-pressure fuel line ruptured on April 7 while driving at highway speeds. Fuel sprayed into your engine compartment near hot engine parts, creating a serious fire risk and causing your engine to lose power—you needed emergency towing. The service records show the fuel lines weren't replaced during the recall work, even though these are single-use components that must be replaced whenever removed to seal properly under pressure. The dealer may need to properly replace the high-pressure fuel supply lines with new OEM components.

On July 2, 2021 my 2015 ecodiesel was given a software flash due to recall W58. This recall deals with the delamination of the tone wheel/CSPS and makes the vehicle rapidly lose acceleration. Instead of being an actual fix, the software simply put a band aid on the issue, by rerouting the tone wheel and sending to a different sensor.

HPFP failure causing frequent sudden decrease in propulsion while driving which is in turn endangering me & my family including young children as well as other drivers on the road. The check engine light 100% came on immediately & has been on & off intermittently until about a week ago where it is lit continuously. I am no longer able to drive my vehicle which is needed desperately for work. I immediately reached out to Dodge Ram who states there will not be an available repair for this recall until 2023. I just bought this vehicle 45 days ago & am making payments on it. There must be something that can be done expeditiously. I cannot make these payments if I loose my job. Please reply ASAP.

Driving on interstate 65 mph there was a sudden loud grinding sound from under my truck. I pulled over and found my gas tank hanging . I was able to slowly get to and area where i could safely see what happened after looking at gas tank i found that the front gas strap rusted threw the frame and the full gas tank fell down and was hitting the drive shaft. I was able to jack up the tank and put a strap around it and drive home 183 miles . I was lucky it did not hit the road as the tank was full of gas.
