FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE NUMBER 4 CYL FUEL DELIVER LINE OFF OF THE COMMON RAIL SYSTEM CRACKED ON MY 5.9L CUMMINS DIESEL. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE IF ANYONE SIMPLY SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET. DIESELTRUCKRESOURCE.COM FOR INSTANCE HAD ONE THREAD WITH OVER 40 PAGES OF COMPLAINTS. THE ISSUE WITH THIS FUEL LINE IS THAT IT IS HELD DOWN BY AN INFERIOR CLAMP DESIGN THAT VIBRATES, LOOSENS, THEN THE LINE FAILS DUE TO ENGINE VIBRATION. THE PART THAT CHRYSLER REPLACES WITH IT IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. WHEN MINE BROKE MY ENGINE WAS NOT HOT YET, BUT IF THE EXHAUST WAS HOT I'M SURE IT COULD HAVE IGNITED. I DUMPED PROBABLY 2 GALLONS OF DIESEL WHEN IT WENT. WITH SUCH A HIGH PRESSURE IN THAT COMMON RAIL SYSTEM IT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE AS WELL. I WORK FOR A DIESEL ENGINE PROVIDER AS AN ENGINEER AND WOULD BE ASHAMED OF MY COMPANY IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL TO PROTECT OUR CUSTOMERS IF THIS HAPPENED TO ONE OF OUR PRODUCTS.

RECALL NOTICE R25/NHTSA15V-313 WAS ORIGINALLY SENT MAY 2015. I CALLED BOTH FOLSOM LAKE DODGE AND ROSEVILLE DODGE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. BOTH DEALERSHIPS TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL BACK WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. NOTHING FOR A YEAR. THEN I GET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE. IT MUST NOT BE VERY IMPORTANT. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS.

DRIVER SIDE POWER WINDOW DETACHES FROM WINDOW CLIPS WHEN 30 DEGREES OR COOLER. HAVE HAD CLIPS AND REGULATOR REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER CAN NOT LOCATE PROBLEM TO CORRECT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT HAS SNOWED OR RAINED, IT'S THE TEMPERATURE THAT EFFECTS IT. TRUCK HAS BEEN WARMED UP AND DRIVEN BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO PUT WINDOW DOWN TO SCAN INTO WORK LOT. NO VISIBLE ICING ON WINDOW WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PUT IT DOWN. THE OTHER 3 WINDOWS ON THE TRUCK WORK FINE AND DO NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, JUST THE DRIVER WINDOW. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES EACH WINTER SINCE OWNING THE TRUCK.

I BELIEVE SOMEBODY NEEDS TO HOLD CHRYSLER DAIMLER RESPONSIBLE TO PLACE THE SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN OF THE DASHBOARD FOR THE 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 ON THE RECALL LIST. I HAVE PLACED PHOTOS OF WHY IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN THIS REPORT. THEY HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR 16 YEARS NOW AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. IT IS OBVIOUSLY MADE OF DEFECTIVE SUB-STANDARD MATERIAL AND HAS AFFECTED A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF PICKUP. THE HUGE CONCERN IS THAT A DASHBOARD OF THIS STANDARD CAN IF NOT ALREADY KILLED OR CAUSED TRAUMATIC INJURIES TO FACE OR HEAD TO PEOPLE IN A COLLISION DUE TO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR EVEN FAILURE TO DEPLOY FOR PASSENGER SIDE. PLEASE TAKE ACTION ON THE MATTER BEFORE STATISTICS TAKE PLACE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION. TANK IS LOW AND WHILE FILLING IT UP THE HOSE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF AND GAS SPEWS FROM AROUND NOZZLE WITH MUCH FORCE. I HAVE TRIED THIS AT SEVERAL STATIONS WITH THE SAME RESULT. I FOUND A WARRANTY EXTENSION THROUGH CHRYSLER THE NUMBER IS X49 EXTENDED WARRANTY- FUEL TANK INLET CHECK VALVE 2007 - 2008 RAM 1500, BUT THEY SAY IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AS VIN IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL DESCRIPTIONS AND COMPLAINTS FROM PUBLIC ABOUT GAS SPILLING ON VEHICLES AND ONTO CUSTOMERS SO IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS HAPPENING EXACTLY AS EXPLAINED IN X49 BULLETIN! MY VEHICLE IS EXTENSIVELY THE SAME AS OTHER RAM TRUCKS AND HAS THIS PROBLEM ALSO. WHY WON'T THEY EXTEND WARRANTY TO COVER MY TRUCK? THIS HAS CAUSED A REACTION FROM THE SPILLED FUEL ON MY HANDS. THIS HAPPENS SO UNEXPECTEDLY YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO BACK AWAY AND FUEL COMES UP THE NOZZLE ONTO YOUR HANDS AND CLOTHES LIKE AN ERUPTION. AT THIS POINT I ONLY HAVE 1/4 IN THE TANK AND IT WON'T ACCEPT ANYMORE FUEL WITHOUT SPEWING IT OUT! THE MANUFACTURER WANTS ME TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED AT MY EXPENSE AND THEY MAY REIMBURSE ME IF THEY GET AROUND TO ADDING MY TRUCK TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY! THIS IS MY WORK TRUCK AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HELP

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED, WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND DIE IN TRAFFIC AND IS SLOW TO RESTART. THE DASH SHOWS A "CHECK GAUGES" LIGHT, HOWEVER THERE ARE NO CODES THROWN. THE DEALER HAS SAID THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BUT IF THIS IS THE CASE IS SEEMS THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW.
