Representative owner complaints: fuel/propulsion system

213 reports, newest first. Show all

  1. Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 28, 2020

    I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, FOLLOWED BY MY FUEL SENSOR FAILING AND SAYING THAT MY GAS TANK WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH I HAD 3/4 OF A TANK. NOW, MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, BUT THE FUEL SENSOR WORKS AS LONG AS MY TANK IS COMPLETELY FULL. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 20 MILES POST-FILL UP, THE FUEL SENSOR STOPS WORKING AND READS ON EMPTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY VEHICLE UNLESS IT'S COMPLETELY FULL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS LINE OF RAM TRUCKS.

  2. Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 21, 2020

    FUEL SENSOR FAIL - READS ONLY UP TO A HALF A TANK OR MORE, ONCE BELOW THE SENSOR READS TANK AS EMPTY.

  3. Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 13, 2020

    I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK ON HIGHWAY WITH MY 12 AND 3 YR OLD DAUGHTERS. WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. TURNED THE TRUCK OFF THEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A FUEL SENSOR MODULE WARNING. THIS HAPPENED. BEFORE WHEN THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 27000 MILES AND IT WAS FIXED WHILE IN WARRANTY. HAD TO REPLACE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENSOR MODULE THE TRUCK NOW HAS 69971 MILES. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT IF THESE THINGS KEEP HAPPENING

  4. Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 13, 2020

    FUEL SENSOR FAILURE.

  5. Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 10, 2020

    WHILE DRIVING I HAD A SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR UNIT ALONG WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CAUSED THE FUEL GAUGE TO DROP TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AND THE DTE ESTIMATE TO SHOW LOW FUEL. WHEN NEW UNIT WAS PICKED UP FROM THE DEALERSHIP I WAS ADVISED THAT HE HAD BEEN SELLING A LARGE AMOUNT OF THE SPECIFIC PART AND TO HOLD ONTO MY RECEIPT SINCE IT HAD A 2 YEAR WARRANTY.

  6. Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 8, 2020

    THE FUEL SENSOR GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE 54,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IT'S ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. THE GAS HAND WON'T WORK EITHER.

  7. Fuel/propulsion system, Jul 2, 2020

    CONSTANT ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR FAIL, I'VE HAD 4 FUEL PUMPS PUT ON THE TRUCK IN THE SIX YEARS I'VE HAD IT. AT ONE POINT THE DEALER HAD MY TRUCK FOR A MONTH TRYING TO FIX. I JUST CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP LAST WEEK, PICKED IT UP FRIDAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON TODAY. IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO RECALL. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND IDLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I'M NOT THE ONLY OWNER WITH ISSUE IT'S COUNTLESS OTHERS, THAT'S HOW I FOUND MY WAY TO MAKE A COMPLAINT.

  8. Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 28, 2020

    FUEL SENSOR FAILURE IS A COMMON FAILURE WITH DODGE RAM TRUCKS. DODGE RAM IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF THIS DEFECTIVE PART THAT IS A MONETARY BURDEN TO THE CONSUMER OF THIS TRUCK. ONCE IT COMES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF YOUR FUEL LEVEL. PROOF NEEDED JUST TYPE IN 2014 DODGE RAM FUEL SENSOR FAILURE IN YOUR SEARCH ENGINE ON YOUR COMPUTER!! ONLY OCCURS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING. REPLACED AT 151,880 MILES AND NOW AT 162,000 IT'S GONE BAD AGAIN. PROBLEM FIRST APPEARED AT 40,000 MILES AND I BELIEVE DEALERSHIP SERVICE REPLACED SENSOR ON ONE OF MY SERVICE VISITS AND DIDN'T TELL ME BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL 151,880 MILES. I WAS HAVING OTHER ISSUES AT TIME AND I THINK THEY THOUGHT THIS WOULD SHUT ME UP !!

  9. Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 27, 2020

    THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 49K MILES ON MY 2014 RAM TRUCK. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. MOST COMMENTS SAY AROUND 35K TO 60K MILES ON RAM TRUCKS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO ZERO. AT MOST MECHANIC SHOPS, THE PRICE IS AROUND $800 FOR THE REPAIR. THE REPAIR CONSISTS OF TWO OPTIONS.... 1) DROP THE FUEL TANK FROM UNDER THE TRUCK AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP W/FUEL SENSOR. 2) UNBOLT THE BED AND BACK BUMPER IN ORDER TO RAISE THE BED COMPLETELY AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP W/FUEL SENSOR. THIS IS A MINOR ISSUE AND HAPPENING ALL OF THE TIME. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE AND THIS MAY HAVE TO ME DONE EVERY 50K MILES OR SO. *TR

  10. Fuel/propulsion system, Jun 26, 2020

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE READ EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR LOCATED INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WAS DEFECTIVE AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED TO FIX THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

    FUEL LEVEL SENDING UNIT STOPPED WORKING. READS EMPTY. APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE.

  17. Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 7, 2020

    AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES THE FUEL GAGE BECAME ERRATIC AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS BEEN ON SINCE. THE TROUBLE MESSAGE SYSTEM INDICATES A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND A LOT OF OTHER RAM OWNERS INDICATE THIS PROBLEM. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR REQUIRING THE BED TO BE REMOVED (COST TO REPAIR NEAR $1000). THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIALLY RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHILE TRAVELING UNLESS THE OWNER IS DILIGENT ABOUT TRACKING MILEAGE AND FILLING UP EACH TIME THE MILAGE REACHES 275 MILES.

    2014 RAM PICKUP WITH 68K MILES. DRIVING WITH 3/4 TANK OF GAS ON A FREEWAY AT 65 MPH AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO E AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN A FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL WARNING POPPED UP. CALLED DEALERSHIP, SAID IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND THEY REPLACE A LOT OF THESE A MONTH, BALLPARKED COST TO BE AROUND $1,000. SPOKE TO SEVERAL LOCAL MECHANICS THAT SAID THE EXACT SAME THING, KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR THAT REQUIRES THE TANK TO BE DROPPED TO FIX. WHEN TANK IS FULL, TRUCK FUNCTIONS FINE. ONCE TANK DROPS TO APPROX. 3/4 OF A TANK, EVERYTHING COMES BACK (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, FUEL LEVEL SENSOR FAIL). CHRYSLER CANNOT BE PUTTING INFERIOR PARTS ON THEIR VEHICLES AND EXPECT CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR THEIR GREED.

  19. Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 24, 2020

    FUEL SENSOR FAILURE AT APPROXIMATELY 62,000 MILES. AT THE TIME OF OCCURRENCE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AFTER COMPLETION OF A TURN. AFTER RESEARCH IT WAS DISCOVERED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2014 DODGE RAM 1500. ON THE DATE OF 2/17/2020 THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FROM WHICH IT WAS BOUGHT AND PROBLEM WAS EXPLAINED, DEALER ADVISED A $600+ CHARGE TO REPAIR SAID DENSOR

  20. Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Feb 18, 2020

    FUEL SENSOR FAIL OCCURS WHEN TANK GETS TO HALFWAY POINT; ONCE IT FAILS THE TANK APPEARS TO BE EMPTY AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. ME, ALONG WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER DRIVERS EXPERIENCE THIS. MY VEHICLE STARTED EXPERIENCING THIS WITH ONLY 50,000 MILES, THIS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING AND THIS IS A DEFECTIVE UNIT.
