Hello, I called my dealership and asked them about my fuel sensor, check engine light has been on. Sometimes when I fill up my tank it goes away. That being said. I have searched the I gerber to find out it is a common problem with our Ram trucks. Deslership will not cover now the power train warranty. This should be a recall. It is going to charge us nearly 1000 dollars to fix it. Simple fix. My truck has only 60,0000 miles brand new. Sometimes it goes away when I am driving and than it reappears. Please make this a recall that way we can get it fix. If not I am going to have to fix it myself. Thank you.
Air suspension has never worked properly during winter months. Had compressor replaced in 2-2018. In the last year I have experienced a minimum of 12 instances where the vehicle will not adjust ride height which I have photos of. When I purchased my vehicle no one told me it would not function properly during the cold months. Most recently I was in to have the auto park recall taken care of. Since this update my truck is total crap. I have lost 3mpg in fuel mileage, the truckss shift pattern and running RPM's have changed and it drives like I'm towing something. When I returned to the dealer I was told to get and after market programmer to solve the issue. Really! so when I go in the next time they can void my warranty. My truck ran like a beast before the update and averaged 18.5 mpg, today I am averaging 14.7 on the same exact trip. Something is definitely wrong with this program.

I am a 2016 Ram 1500 crew cab. If I use the vst gas nozzles they get stuck in the filler neck. It takes about 10-15 mins to get it unstuck. I have taken it to antioch Dodge and they say there is no issue. I also had a video and they refuse to look at it. I am very disappointed that nobody will look into this.
Error code P0463 - fuel level sending unit failure. Seems to happen to everyone right out of warranty... 40K miles, under 3 years old. Was driving on the highway when warning lights and the audible notification started going off. Low fuel warnings lit up too. Fuel level sending unit high voltage failure is the eventual message on the dashboard. It throws one off when that happens, took me a minute to realize that I didn't in fact have a fuel leak and did in fact have plenty of gas.
I was backing a pontoon boat while in 4WD low in soft mulch, I then stopped and switched back to 2wd. Once the electronic shifting was complete, the fuel sensor fail message appeared in the instrument cluster, the low fuel warning and the check engine light both illuminated. The fuel (gas) tank was about 3/4 full when this occurred. The vehicle had 60,054 miles on it. So far the vehicle continues to run as normal but the illuminated warnings are quite a distraction while driving.

Our truck is two years old. We have 77,000 miles on it and the fuel sensor/pump went bad. It's no longer under warranty; however, a fuel pump should last more than 2 years and 77,000 miles. We fill up with fuel. Everything is fine until the needles hits the first line. We get a fuel sensor warning and the guage drops to empty. The truck runs fine. No hesitation of stalling. Wouldn't know anything was wrong except for the warning lights. Check engine light is on, too. According to Dodge, the two are related.
My cruise control was engaged as I was going down a mountain approaching a sharp turn when I hit the brakes the petal went to the floor and the truck accelerated. I went into the woods where I hit numerous trees and totaled the vehicle. What can be done about this

Truck shutdown while driving down highway @ 65 mph without any other symptoms. Had to coast to side of busy road. Service electronic throttle control flashed as well as the check engine light. The truck never stuttered or lost any power prior to this. Dealership states that it is bad diesel fuel. Replaced hpfp but truck will still not start. Chrysler has instructed dealer to replace entire fuel system. This has not been done yet because Chrysler will not warranty even though the truck is still under warranty.
I had a sudden loss of power and an abrupt deceleration while driving out of my development. The service electronic throttle control and check engine lights appeared on the dash. This happened on May 17, 2017 and some of the vehicles ecodiesel fuel injectors were replaced. 2000 miles later almost the same exact thing happened on July 14, 2017. Currently additional injectors are being replaced. I am thankful neither time was while driving at highway speeds on a busy road.
The truck down speeds to 40 mph without notice or warning. The fuel filter appears to be clogging and the fuel injectors and lines are also clogged. Dodge refuses to fix the issue opting to replace parts and informing me that I must monitor the truck bring it in every 12,000 miles for repair.
