Fuel tank leaking from the top of the tanks on my 2006 dodge ram Quad cab SLT 5.7 Liter truck. Been leaking a few years after buying my 2006 truck in 2006 brand new. Only way to get one is buying a new fuel tank which is to expensive to buy and unable to repair it is where this tank should have a recall.
When raining the engine misfires to the point of stalling the engine and when hitting the gas the engine will big down when idleing for more that 10 minutes the engine idles rough and begins to putter and stahls out. The rear differential but came loose causing the pinion gear to shift which had resulted in a loud whirling sound when driving at any speed and gets louder when the faster the truck goes and also clunks when coming to a stop. When hitting the brake pedal the front passenger blinker/running light illuminates. Front driver side wheel bearing consistently fails after 8,000-20,000 miles causing a loud humming noise and causing me tons of money. Check engine light comes on telling me to check gas cap even though I've replace it twice now which leads me to believe there is a engineering defect and also through the code for misfire in cylinder 7 even though I've replaced the spark plugs and coils after the code was generated and it went if for about 4 weeks and came back on. I'm conclusion I believe Chrysler is knowingly selling unsafe and, unreliable vehicles which end to costing the consumer thousands in repairs and time something we can't get back. This has been happening since 20,000-40,000 miles into owning the vehicle. My vehicle was manufactured 05/2005 but is titled as a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 slt crew cab
Traveling down the highway at 65mph when the engine just shut off and luckily I pulled into the shoulder and put the truck in park and turned the ignition and the truck came on line nothing was wrong, this has happened a handful of times and also has happened when sitting at a light and accelerating into the intersection when the truck engine shuts off leaving me to shift into park which N quickly and then restart the truck and get one of dangers way. This is very very scary and I absolutely refuse to let anyone ride in my backseat out of fear I'll stahl out and get T-boned.
About 2 1/2 years ago I was driving my truck on a state highway travelling around 55 to 60 mph when the engine suddenly died. Of course my power steering no longer worked but I was able to pull off the road. This was a scary situation that could have turned out very badly. Luckily, I was in a spot where I could pull over. This particular highway doesn't have a lot of shoulder area. I turned the key off and turned it back on and the truck started back up and everything was fine. This happened a couple of more times when I was travelling on the highway at higher speeds and also driving on a city street at lower speeds. I took it to my mechanic and he connected a code reader and based on the codes it was showing he changed both the cam shaft position sensor and the crank shaft position sensor but the engine continued to die while the vehicle was in motion. The last time it happened was on 1/21/2018 on the same state highway except that this time it didn't want to start back up. I had it towed to a different mechanic and he ran compression tests that showed very little compression on one side of the engine and no compression on the other side. He said he wouldn't be able to tell me what was wrong with it until he opened the engine which would cost several hundred dollars and then who knows how much after the problem was determined. I have not had the money to do that so it has been sitting at the mechanic's garage for the past 2 1/2 years. Every other mechanic I talked to said that I should just go ahead and replace the engine, which I cannot afford to do. They said 2006 was one of the worst years for the Dodge Ram engine. When it died it was 11 years old but had less than 110,000 miles on it.

I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 that has developed a leak in the gas tank. After doing some research, there are so many owners who are having to replace these tanks that the price has skyrocketed and I cant get one for over a month. This is a safety issue and Dodge should be required to replace these for free. It is going to cost me well over $1,000.

Filler port replacement for 2006 Dodge 1500 not being recalled although 2007/2008 were (please see recall number X49 and X53). Vehicle stalled on low idle and during turns. My Dodge truck stalled while making turn in a busy intersection and almost create an accident..after researching the web, I found out that it's a common problem and some models are being recalled per X49 and X53.
I have tried on many times too arrigo Dodge in West palm beach, Florida too complete the safety recall.they have refused too address the issues with this truck. I have complained to the Dodge motor division more times than a few, they turn a blind-eye to the dealership. This truck was a lemon from the show-room floor, I have replaced the computer, emissions system, fuel injection system, wiring harness, and many more repairs.the brake system is very dangerous, someone is going too get a serious injury from this issue. The truck also suffers from sudden acceleration, at any given time. I have called the Chrysler rep countless times, and they have a care less attitude, I voiced my opinion on the chat line, and...they were quite amused at the possibility of a crash or injury. I want a complete investigation of the dealership, the factory, and bring in the department of justice on these criminal activities ! please do something soon, this is a matter of life and death !
Fuel tank is cracked and leaks fuel. I took the vehicle to my mechanic for repairs. My mechanic ordered a new fuel tank from the local Dodge dealer. The Dodge dealer reports the tank is on back order due to 59 fuel tanks on order for the same problem, that is cracked fuel tanks on Dodge pickups.
When you fill up the gas tank gas shoots out the filler hole. Its not like normal vehicle when the gas handle clicks and stops. On my Dodge Ram, the gas nozzle stops but as soon as it does gas come pouring out my filler hole. This is got to be a safety issue. If you search the internet im the only one with this problem.
After filling gas tank in truck in the process of turning out of the parking lot on to a busy road the truck stalled out and would not start. Since then I have learned that in order to prevent this from happening anytime after filling the truck in the first few miles after driving if O plan to cove to a stop I must change gears in to neutral and rev the engine above 1500 RPM to keep it from dying. I feel that this is a serious safety issue with the risk of being run in to if the truck stalls turning on top a road.
When filling gas tank after the gas pump handle clicks shut to stop flow from the hose the gas from the tank comes back through the fill line and pours out over the side of the truck, approximately 1 pint so it is quite a spill. This happens at every gas station, I use gasoline with 10% ethanol gas, and if I stop the gas flow from the hose manually it also happens.
Every time I fill fuel tank the engine starts stalling for up to and hour after. It now if it has more than a half of a tank, it not only stalls, but pushes raw gasoline out of the evap canaster. The truck is not safe to drive. The problem appears to be the same problem that Chrysler has had with Chrysler 300. It is malfunctioning shut off float that is allowing fuel to enter purge line. The float is part of the fuel tank and can only be fixed by replacing the $750 fuel tank.
