problem #2

Jan 152018

Ram 1500 LS 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,150 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The molded "check valves" in the tank have failed. This issue caused my truck to die after refueling the tank from below a quarter of a tank to full. The Evap canister was saturated with fuel. Dodge is currently 1/25/2018 changing manufacturers for their fuel tanks. A new tank is very hard to get right now. A new tank costs $950 and labor was about $200. Total cost for repair is $1150.

Prior to replacing the gas tank the Evaporator canister was replaced and the EGR valve was replaced. Replacing these did not fix my problem.

Update from Feb 21, 2021: The Dodge dealership stated the CHECK VALVES that are located inside the small tubes molded into the gas tank were leaking. They replaced my gas tank (~$1,200.00) and this did in fact fix the problem for me. I hope this helps someone else out.

Good luck, Dodge has not covered any of my complaints.

problem #1

Feb 032014

Ram 1500 SLT 5,7 Hemi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 54,000 miles

Fill up and vehicle stalls...at high and low speeds. No brakes steering... answer throw into neutral and re-ignition and vehicle starts......... Dangerous at any speed!! Spent $1250 Tomball Dodge.

Drove off and stalled immediately..... Dealership explained no fix recommend, don't fill up..... what of a refund....."Call Dodge" was response. If I do not fill up the problem went away, but last week at half full problem returned. Re-visited dealership this week 5/15. Recommend a new fuel tank as the cure???? Another $1500 for tank and fitting..... I declined offer... their recommendation "Call Chrysler"

Perhaps we have to kill someone as the Toyota Key issue.

Thank heavens Chrysler don't build Aircraft...imagine the disasters. Chrysler know there is a problem but have no recall and have no sense of responsibility.

Hope this warns others and their families.
