FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I purchased my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 truck around May 2022 at a used car lot. It had low mileage so I thought I did great. Immediately after I brought it home, it began to die. I figured it had a really old battery so I purchased a new one. This one would last around 3 days instead of the one day before dying. I would drive it and jump it over and over. I tried to contact the dealer over and over but they would not respond to my calls. I wrote a terrible review about them in Yelp and they contacted me immediately, but when I attempted to schedule a time to drop the truck back off, they stopped responding again. About 9 months later the truck stopped turning over all together. We found that the fuel pump was the issue. It sat for a year until I had it towed to the mechanic, who fixed the fuel pump, but found that the car would only run for a few seconds. He continued to diagnose it, and after weeks, he tells me that there is something terribly faulty with the electrical system, but he is stumped as to what it is. He says he does not see where anyone has tampered with the system at all, but there is something mysterious about the electrical component. I have put so much money into this truck including having to pay insurance and a high monthly payment for a dead truck. Please help me. I can provide documents after I meet with mechanic who still has truck.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I OWN A 2007 RAM 1500 THAT SPITS FUEL BACK OUT AND IS NOT SAFE TO THE PERSON FILLING IT. IT ALSO CREATES A HAZARD WITH FUEL ON THE GROUND. DODGE CLAIMS IT WAS RESOLVED IN 2016 WHEN I FIRST HAD THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOW UNWILLING TO RESOLVE THEIR OWN REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. FUEL 'SPIT-BACK' THROUGH THE FILLER NECK HAS BEEN A LONGSTANDING PROBLEM IN SEVERAL CHRYSLER, DODGE AND JEEP MODELS, CAUSED BY THE INLET CHECK VALVE (ICV) MOUNTED IN THE FUEL TANK. DESPITE SOME LIMITED RECALLS AND AT LEAST ONE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY, THIS DEFECT, WHICH FIRST SURFACED IN 2001, CONTINUES TO PLAGUE A NUMBER OF MODELS. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES ARE OUTSIDE OF ANY CAMPAIGN, FORCING OWNERS TO PAY FOR A REPAIR THAT REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE TANK ASSEMBLY. NHTSA ID: 10056513 TSB ID: WB-D-14-23 MOPAR: ON SOME PICK UP TRUCKS, AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS BEEN ISSUED ON FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. MODEL 2007-2008 RAM 1500. ISSUED ON 9/9/2014 I ALSO LOCATED INFORMATION ON AN X49 RECALL FOR OTHER VEHICLES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

STARTED MY TRUCK UP. THEN SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, THE TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT INTO A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. LIKE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO STEEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY HARD AND EVEN WITH THAT THE 5.7 HEMI WAS A LOT OF POWER TO STOP. I AVOIDED HITTING A CONCRETE WALL AND A SIDE OF A HOUSE. LUCKILY I SHIFTED INTO PARK AND TURNED IT OFF. IT COULD OF ENDED VERY BADLY. I NOW AM NOT GOING TO USE THE TRUCK UNTIL I FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON. I HAVE CALLED DODGE CORPORATION AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HEARD OF THAT HAPPENING OR NOT AT LIBERTY TO SAY. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THEY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THEY EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING. I ADVISED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT GOOGLE AND TYPE IN DODGE RAM SUDDEN ACCELERATION. UPON MY OWN RESEARCH A NUMBER OF DODGE MECHANICS HAVE SAID THE FOLLOWING. 1. FLOOR MAT WAS STUCK UNDER PEDAL 2. TPS SENSOR 3. IAC SENSOR 5. THROTTLE BODY ONE OR ALL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IN CONCLUSION I WOULD HOPE THAT DODGE LOOKS AND ADDRESS THIS MATTER BEFORE IT'S TO LATE.

AFTER THE FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY FILLED AND THE GAS STATION REFUELING PUMP STOPS ABOUT A HALF A GALLON OF GASOLINE WILL VIOLENTLY SPRAY OUT OF THE VEHICLE'S REFUELING TUBE. THIS CREATES A PUDDLE OF FUEL AND OFTEN SPRAYS ON ME. THE SPRAY COMES OUT OF THE HOLE YOU INSERT THE REFUELING NOZZLE INTO. I OWED A 2006 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE SAME ENGINE THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I'M SURE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MANUFACTURER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 7 DAYS AGO. I HAVE DISCOVERED A DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT ONLY PRESENTS ITSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING. AT LOW SPEEDS IN, TURNING, OR WHILE MANEUVERING THROUGH TRAFFIC THE TRUCK WILL CHUG AND THEN DIE. LEAVING MY VEHICLE WITHOUT POWER STEERING AND LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. IT HAPPENED TWICE AFTER FUELING FRIDAY, AND THEN AGAIN THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING TODAY. TWO OF THE THREE TIMES I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND WAS ALMOST IN A COLLISION BY UNSUSPECTING DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO A SHARP ON RAMP TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY IT DIED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE RAMP AND NOT AT THE TOP WHERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC. AND THANKFULLY MY WIFE WASN'T DRIVING, BECAUSE WITHOUT POWER STEERING HER AND MY TWO DAUGHTERS WOULD HAVE LIKELY STRAIGHTENED OUT THE ON RAMP AND FOUND THEMSELVES AT THE BOTTOM OF A STEEP BANK. IF THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHILE CROSSING A BUSY INTERSECTION A COLLISION WOULD BE HIGHLY LIKELY WITH FATALITIES FOR SURE. THE PROBLEM LASTS FOR ABOUT THE FIST TEN TO FIFTEEN MILES OF DRIVING, AND DIES AT LOWER SPEEDS 0-25 MPH. I HAVE READ ABOUT NHTSA INVESTIGATIONS INTO OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES PRESENTING THE SAME ISSUES, AND WHERE THE WARRANTIES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED ON THE FUEL TANKS TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THESE WARRANTIES MUST BE EXTENDED TO THE 2007 DODGE RAM 1500 AS WELL IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS CAUGHT IN TRAFFIC AND KILLED.

SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW IT WOULD SPEW GAS FROM THE FILLER TUBE AFTER THE FUEL PUMP SHUTS OFF. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE. EVEN THOUGH MY PROBLEM IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED, BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER SEARCH DOESNT SHOW MY TRUCK AS BEING INVLOLVED IN THE PROBLEM, DODGE WILL NOT FIX THE CHECK VALVE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

TRUCK BEGAN STALLING WITH ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AT RANDOM: WHILE DRIVING, AT STOP LIGHTS, ETC. TRUCK WOULD NOT RESTART FOR VARIOUS LENGTHS OF TIME. DIAGNOSED AS A BAD FUEL PUMP. FUEL PUMP REPLACED WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN BEHAVIOR. DIAGNOSED AS INTERMITTENT RANDOM NO ELECTRICAL POWER TO FUEL PUMP MODULE CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONING TIPM. REPLACEMENT IS $900-$1100. TOLD THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH CHRYSLER/DODGE TIPMS, WITH NO GUARANTEE OF NON-RECURRENCE. TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER DUE TO A SHUT DOWN OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WHILE DRIVING DID NOT RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT, BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT WAS HUGE. DODGE DEALER DOES NOT ACKNOWLEDGE A PROBLEM WITH TIPMS, BUT THEIR MECHANIC HAS COMMUNICATED THAT THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH TIPMS, THAT THEY HAVE THE PART ON BACK-ORDER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THE TIPM PROBLEM AND DODGE'S COMPLETE CONTROL OVER THE REPLACEMENT/PROGRAMMING OF THESE MODULES, HOLDING OWNERS HOSTAGE.

ENGINE LIGHT AND GAS CAP LIGHT KEEP COMING ON. REPLACED GAS CAP. LIGHT STILL COMING ON. INDEPENDENT GARAGE SAYS THERE IS AN AIR LEAK IN LINE. APPEARS TO BE A REOCCURRING ISSUE WITH FUEL LINES ON THIS MODEL THAT LEAK BECAUSE THEY RUB ON HOUSING AND NOT INSTALL PROPER BY MANUFACTURER. LOCAL DEALER SAYS IT WILL BE 1,100 TO 1,400 TO FIX FUEL LINES.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, GAS SHOOTS OUT THE TOP WHEN FULL. HAPPENS AT EVERY GAS STATION. RECENTLY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR THIS ISSUE AND A GASCAP WARNING LIGHT AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. SERVICE ADVISOR AT DEALERSHIP SAID THE FUEL INLET VALVE WAS LEAKING AT A WELD SEAM. COST OF REPAIR IS $1240.00. WHEN THIS OCCURS ABOUT A HALF GALLON OF GASOLINE SPEWS ONTO THE CEMENT WHICH AT TIMES IN PHOENIX REACHES 120 DEGREES.PLUS. NOT TO MENTION THIS COULD GET ON ME, IN MY EYES OR SOMEONE ELSE IN THE VICINITY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT SIMILAR VEHICLES IN SIMILAR YEARS WITH THE SIMILAR ENGINE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE; SUCH AS THE 2007 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 4.7L V-8 ENGINE.
