Fuel Sensor Failure, check engine light comes on, causes to gas gauge to read empty and will disable mileage and remote start. 57,000 miles.
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 1, 2023
The fuel pump quit working, which immediately made the engine die. I was on a two lane road and there was no place to get off the road. There was no prior warning of the issue and there apparently have been no recalls, even though, Ram is very aware of the problem and and in some cases the engines have been damaged due to pieces of metal from the fuel pump getting into the engine. I know of other people who have had the same issue with gas powered Ram trucks and there is a lot of information on the internet. In addition to the safety issues that this creates, I had to pay to a portion of the cost to replace the pump. Part of the expense was covered by an extended warrantee. The truck only had about 47,000 miles on it when the pump failed and apparently that is about average for the failure. Ram should have to recall these units and foot the expense to avoid having dead vehicles in traffic lanes

Truck stalled on interstate was able to continue off interstate once on secondary road truck stalled and shut off. I was able to get it restarted and drive to near by RAM dealership where it has been sitting since. Dealer says the have been unable to get it to restart. The technician believes this is due to HPFP which was recalled over a year ago, parts for repair are still unavailable. Service engine light came on just prior to stalling. I contacted FCA they offered no resolution and stated they will not authorize loaner vehicle for recall issues leaving me with no transportation
Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 28, 2023
The fuel tank's front support bracket completely rusted out. I was driving and started to hear a very loud grinding sound. The bracket gave way completely dropping the tank almost to the ground and pushing the fuel tank bracket into the drive shaft grinding into it. Luckily it didn't create a spark or wrap around the drive shaft. The fuel tank could've fallen down completely or a spark could've been created from the bracket and drive shaft hitting leading to a fire or worse. There are no other rust points like this on the truck. The brackets seem to be made from a thinner/weaker material which is prone to heavy rust. Vehicle has been in Kentucky most of its life and is only 6 years old. This issue could've led to me being seriously injured or killed. I am unaware if this problem has been reproduced but I am aware of a recall for the same issue on earlier model year trucks by RAM. The vehicle hasn't been inspected by anyone yet as it's the weekend but will be looked at at the start of the work week. There were no warning lights, symptoms or anything leading up to this failure. Everything was fine and then it just wasn't.

Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 17, 2023
While driving home from school with my wife and kids, my vehicle died in the highway at about 55 mph. I almost got rear ended by the vehicle behind me. I was lucky to roll it out to the side of the road without getting in a accident. Had the vehicle towed to a mechanic shop and was informed that the cp4 pump had failed and the whole fuel system was contaminated. I bough the truck 8 months ago, and still owe over 25 thousand dollars on it. This is my daily driver. I can’t afford paying for a broken vehicle. Had to borrow a car from family temporarily to use for everything. I don’t know where to get help with this case. Please help.

Mount for gas tank strap rotted and front fuel tank strap came off leaving fuel tank hang down. Luckily did not fall out of truck. This issue has had recalls on other model years but not 2017 which was a carryover model year so don’t understand why not. Could have been a very dangerous issue. Also a very expensive repair. I have never seen an issue with fuel tank falling out of vehicles that are not very old. This truck has only 60,400 miles also.

Manufacturer has not acted in a timely manner to resolve this known defect, FCA recall #Z46, NHTSA Recall #22V-406, which may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning, putting my safety and that of the public near me into peril should I continue to use my vehicle, or depriving me of my livelihood if I do not use my vehicle.
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 6, 2023
RE: FCA Recall #Z46; NHTSA #22V-406 Premature High Pressure Fuel Pump (HPFP) failure recall. It's been approximately 14 months since FCA issued its notice for a voluntary safety recall on inspection/replacement of the HPFP for my vehicle and no action has been taken by the manufacturer as of this date. The dealership still indicates that no repair parts are available.
Fuel/propulsion system, Aug 6, 2023
Fuel sensor failure, I can fill the tank and a sound will chime, then the Guage will show that the truck has no gas, this also turns off ECO mode, so now I'm burning thru more gas and not getting the fuel efficiency that I'm supposed to. If I don't track the mileage then I leave myself open to running out of fuel. Very dangerous.

While driving approximately 20mph my 2017 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel abruptly stopped/stalled on me for a second or two with no warning indications before or after. I was driving with my wife and two kids and am always very aware of driving cautiously and being aware of my surroundings. Fortunately, there were no vehicles behind us at the moment the truck stalled. The truck has not been inspected by the dealership but I have called my local Ram dealership to explain this to them and they informed me of a recall that I already knew about (22V-406). I've been placed on a list in the 80's for when the part arrive.

1-ABS PUMP MOTOR CONTROL- GENERAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE anti-lock brake code C0020-01 came on at 44185 miles. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they are telling me that The ABS unit needs to be replaced and that it is not covered under the warranty. this repair is going to cost me between $1200 and $2000. 2- At @ 30000 miles the FUEL INDICATOR LEVEL UNIT located inside the fuel tank went bad, showing that the tank was empty when the fuel tank was full. That part for the repair cost me $275 just for the part plus the installment pay. This vehicle is driven very little for All of these problems to be present. I think Dodge /Ram should stand behind their products and do the right thing and honor these repairs. Thank you.

My truck has the Z46 manufacturer recall and the NHTS 22v-406 recall for "High Pressure Fuel Pump failure". No parts are available for repair. the recall states " A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning." I pull my camper to remote parts of the country. my fuel pump, at time to time would make "noises" that had me concerned. I found a reputable Diesel repair shop that had a OEM part that would solve the recall. For reimbursment I needed 1)parts 2)Labor3)taxes4)related costs5)contact info. I submitted all this info to uscustomercare@cac.stellantis.com on June 5. June 7 I was denied due to "out of warranty" proved I was not. On June 7 I was denied because parts were not covered, I showed them that they were OEM. On June 12 I was again denied this time because they did not like the way the clerk wrote the repair order diagnosis. I told them the dignosis was Z46 NHTS22-v406. They refused compenstion and anymore appeal. I followed all the rules, repaired my truck so it would not be a significant road hazard to me or others and expect compensation of $2210.75. Please help me, and others get compensation for doing the right thing while Stellantis nad FCA "wait for parts"

Currently there is an open and unresolved high pressure fuel pump recall that can leave me stranded on the highway and cause an accident. The length of time until a remedy can be had is unacceptable. Also there is a new recall to reprogram the ECU to "band-aid" a potential failure of the timing reluctor ring. It still has the potential to leave me broken down on the road and cause an accident. The delamination problem of the reluctor ring is another part that should be covered under a recall instead of a software program.

Truck has had issues with cranking but not starting consistently since owning. I have had it towed to multiple dealers who say they can not duplicate the issue. I take it home, drive it for a day or two and then it will crank and not start. I have paid multiple diagnosis fees, I have taken video of the issue and the dealer says they can't go by video they have to duplicate it. I have been stranded multiple times and can't rely on the truck starting when I need to drive it. The fuel pump has had a recall for a year now and dealer says they don't have parts to fix it. I am at a loss, there have been no warning light consistently, sometimes the engine light comes on when this happens and sometimes it does not. Dealer can't fix the fuel pump issue and I can't drive the truck without fear of being stranded and towed to dealer for them to say the same thing every time.

I know this is the fuel pump. No prior indications or lights. Stopped on highway. Able to move over and restart vehicle when light came on and vehicle stalled. Did this twice while getting to house out of state. Paid for the repair $16K after I argued sit was part of the recall. I was told not my year. Picked up the truck and drove about 10 miles when it did the exact same thing. I was lucky and was able to pull into a parking lot. I have tried to argue that the original failure was the recall and questioned why a recall part was placed back into the vehicle. I am without a vehicle with no repair in sight.

Constant engine code for a very small evap leak. Vehicle was taken to C&C Automotive (4014 Washington Road, Augusta, Ga. 30907 || 762-685-5555) for a diagnostic. C&C Automotive advised that the leak was due to a faulty Fuel Control Valve, which appeared to be in a melted state. The vehicle has never been in a collision and has 11,000 miles. After some research it was found that there was a previous recall for the 2017 Ram 1500 for the same issue but I was told by Chrysler's Customer Service my Vin was not affected by the recall and I would have to pay for the replacement out of pocket. (Refer- NHTSA: 17V434/ Chrysler: T45)

While parking my truck, it had an unintended acceleration and my foot was not on the gas peddle. I was going about 1-2mph and the truck picked up speed unexpectedly and collided with my garage wall. I am unsure what component malfunctioned and it has not yet been inspected. Myself and my baby were in the car and luckily I was able to stop by hitting the brakes and putting the car in park. It continued to pull forward even with my foot on the brake. There was no warning or codes prior to or after the incident.

At the gas station pump notch on the gas nozzle getting stuck in the truck filler neck (every time i fill up). Very unsafe. sometimes I spend hour stuck at the gas station trying to remove the gas nozzle from my truck. In addition to the gas nozzle getting stuck, the automatic shut off is triggered repeatedly while fueling so that the tank can only be filled in spurts, and that gas spills when the gas nozzle is withdrawn.

The Fuel Level Sensor assembly internal of the gas tank failed at 18k miles. A close inspection of the part revealed a manufacturer defect causing an open connection to develop on the carbon track measuring device. This type of situation caused the fuel gauge to go to E causing panic, and warning message appears in display while you are driving and audible alerts go off. I am an electrical engineer and have determined this part has an engineering defect and should be Recalled by RAM. Many complaints on the internet point to this issue and RAM-= is not correcting the issue. They are only using the same [art again for replacement and charging the customer over $600.00

On June 23rd, 2022, just arrived at a campground with a travel trailer. Noticed something hanging from under the truck. The 32-gallon fuel tank was just filled less than a mile prior to arrival. Upon further observation, the fuel tank hanging with only the rear fuel tank strap intact. The front fuel tank strap was still attached to the mounting bolt, however, the frame end was pulled through. The strap appears to be completely intact. The frame area that holds the strap was severely corroded and rusted out. There is very little rust anywhere on this truck. The front strap was then bent into the vehicles driveshaft by the hanging fuel tank, a cut a groove into the aluminum driveshaft. The damage may have compromised the integrity of the driveshaft as well. My vehicle is well maintained and cared for. I am a mechanic, however, I have it scheduled to be inspected at the Ram dealership. I will upload pictures as soon as possible. Prior research shows Ram truck model years 2009-2012 had the same issues. I reside in Wisconsin. If I did not notice this, the fuel tank would have fallen out, beyond any doubt, on our return trip and 30 plus gallons of fuel with it. It would have been hit first by our rear axle, and the then travel trailer.
