Pushing the brake pedal for prolonged periods when the vehicle is running and in PARK may cause the Brake Transmission Shift Interlock (BTSI) pin to stick in the open position. With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

Vehicle speed control, Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 17, 2023
The problem is with the whole DEF System in the truck. for the last 6 months I can't go a week or less without getting some kind of code. Every time it effects the electronic throttle control and the truck goes into limp mode, I can be going 70 mph and it drops down to 30-40 mph no matter where I am at. I have almost been rear ended several times. I fix that code and a week later another code pops up and we do it all over again. I think I may have gone 2 weeks without a problem in the last 6 months. This time it is the DPF and DEF system, and here we go back into limp mode. I have had it to the dealer last week for issues which they couldn't figure out but thought that reprogramming would fix. So I leave to go out of state to work and here we go again less than 100 miles from home. Exhaust filter is full with no regen for over 400 miles. Now I'm stuck out of state with this problem. I think this really needs to be addressed because after all of my research this seems to be a normal problem.

This vehicle experienced a Diesel EGR Cooler failure, for which there is an open recall by FCA under VB1/NHTSA 19V-757. Repairs were completed at the shop where it had been taken for diagnostics, and subsequently I submitted a reimbursement request to FCA following all guidelines and submitting all documents requested. However, FCA is refusing to honor the recall reimbursement request. They state their reasons below: 1) Vehicle is out of warranty. (Warranty status should have no bearing on a recall repair) 2) Parts replaced are not covered under the recall. (Parts replaced were specifically covered under recall VB1) 3) Repairs were not completed at a dealership. (The reimbursement process was created specifically for repairs completed at other repair centers) The above reasons stated by FCA are not valid, but FCA continues to deny reimbursement. FCA should honor their recall repair commitment and process. This incident leads me to believe FCA is actively engaged in falsely denying reimbursements to customers and their compliance with NHTSA recall oversight should be investigated.

California has a rubber boot on their gas pumps to capture gas emissions - this forces a full insertion of the nozzle or the gas pump into the Dodge ram fuel filler neck when pumping gas the gas nozzle became lodged into the filler neck - I was unable to remove the gas pump from the filler neck - had to use screw driver to remove which resulted in the plastic housing of the filler neck to break This is dangerous and now could allow gas overflow from the broken housing -

I took my truck to the dealer Early 2022 for the recall. they couldn't help due to the shortage on the parts. I kept going every month because my truck was stalling. they kept telling me to leave them my email address and they will contact me when they get the parts for the recall. on August 30. I was driving on the freeway. I lost power. my truck couldn't go over 30 then declined to 25 then to 20mph. My truck start heating up really fast. I pulled a side and tow it to the dealer. Dealer stated that my crankshaft was cracked. I truly believe it cracked due to the recall. My high Presure fuel pump was defective and it cause my truck to overheat and crack the engine. I need Help. I ordered another engine which cost me $13,000.00 without the Instulation, now I have to wait till the dealer get an engine and they will charge me the instulation on top it which it will probably end up costing me near to $20,000 This happen all because of Dodge defective part from the recall

Purchased truck from Covert Dodge in Taylor, TX 2019. Mid-End 2019 started having issues with the fuel pump would not fuel vehicle without constantly shutting off. This is a very annoying situation and eats up a great deal of time. I have to hold it where it barely runs the fuel in order to get it to fuel for more then 2 seconds. Gas attendant at Costco just thought I did not know how to fuel my truck and he too had the same issue. Dodge needs to own up to the problem and fix it. There are plenty of complaints about the issue. I do not think my next vehicle will be a dodge only because they do not own up to the well known problem. Did receive a letter about the fuel tank strap. I do not think that is the issue
Fuel/propulsion system, Dec 20, 2021
When filling up with gas, it will not fill up without the causing the nozzle's safety switch to continually auto shut off(clicking off). Meaning I have to barely squeeze the nozzle so fuel barely flows into the gas cap slot taking 20-30 minutes to fill up because I can not set the lock on the gas pump nozzle to automatic flow. This is happening at all Gas stations so it is not an issue with the shape of a specific stations pump nozzle. The colder the weather the worse this is. Took in to dealer for a maintenance to see if it was just the float, but the stated to me without them further looking into the problem and having to charge me, it appears it could mean a full fuel tank replacement. My truck is only a 2018 and only has 56,000 miles on it so to me this shouldn't be happening. This started last November 2019.

Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 13, 2021
When fueling the truck will not allow more than a few cents worth of gas to go in. You immediately hear the sound as if it is full and pumping stops. This is a known problem that Ram Truck company ignores. It has been documented since 2015. The danger is since you can't tell the difference between the constant shut off Nd when a truck is full and you keep trying to put gas in the truck then gas sprays out of the filler neck. It has covered my hand in fuel as well as my clothing and poured onto the ground. There are no warning lights saying there is an issue. I have contacted the dealer and their response in email was "there is no open recall". There are also numerous complaints on the Ram Truck forum and a class action is being started.

THERE HAD BEEN A TIME MY GIRLFRIEND TOOK THE VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN AND SHE FILLED IT BEFORE SHE HAD LEFT. AGAIN THE HANDLE FOR GAS WAS STUCK AND I HAD TO LEAVE WORK TO GO AND GET IT OUT FOR HER. LEAKING GAS OUT OF THE TANK IS REALLY BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND ALSO I GET NERVOUS SINCE I FEEL LIKE PRESSURE IS BUILDING UP WHILE FILLING AS WELL. THIS HAS TO BE HAPPENING TO MORE VEHICLES LIKE MINE. AND IF SO WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP ON THIS MATTER.
