| Went to fill my vehicle tank and gas began to suddenly flow out of filler hose. after removing and visually inspecting the filler hose and removing other hoses during testing it was determined that a replacement tank was needed. the on-board refueling vapor recovery (orvr) valve stopped working. after consulting a dealership with the details it was confirmed a new tank was needed. while placing an order for the tank, i was told from a few dealerships that i was on the waiting list. after another call from a local dealership i was told i am number 85 on back order list to receive a new fuel tank and that was just from his dealership. he qouted they have no eta on that tank.right now they are working on trucks that are vor concern from other dealers first. just wanted to keep you informed. between fuel spitting out of vehicle, taking 15 minutes to put only 10 gallons into tank, and most of all a large back order number. i am wondering or requesting a recall to be possibly placed. the orvr valve can not be replaced do to being plastic welded to the fuel tank. | |||

| Truck began to overheat when stopping for more than a few minutes. taken to the shop and they replaced cooling fan motor and temperature sensor. three weeks later it did the same thing and all parts we're replaced again. this time it has lasted for six months but truck has begun to overheat again. | |||

| Check engine light is on. strong smell of gas when vehicle is shut off. vehicle stalls at slow speeds. can't tell the engine quit as the rpms bottom out and engine dies. very dangerous for driving. no control after the engine stops. this happened twice today. first time was in traffic in a town at a stop light. couldn't restart the engine for awhile and couldn't get the truck out of traffic. second time slowed to turn around in a driveway entrance and backed up when i came to a stop to shift to d the engine stalled and i didn't know it. my truck was at an angle crossing 2 lanes of taffic. luckily, i was able to get it restarted. i googled the problem and it seems to be very common and dangerous with limited success on finding a repair solution. | |||

| My 2004 dodge 1500 ram truck has a defective valve on the fuel tank . dodge told me the entire fuel tank needs to be changed to the tune of about $900! however, dodge does not have any fuel tanks & i'd be # 83 on a wait list!!! in the meantime, i cannot fill my tank with gas !!! i called dodge 800 # three weeks ago, but have still not heard back. local dealers are not helpful either. *tr | |||

| My dodge quadcab hemi began vibrating excessively at around 750 miles and the engine light came on. i called the dealership and they said as long as the light wasn't blinking, it was safe to drive. however, they recommended that i pull into the closest dealership to get it checked out to make sure it was safe to drive the hour i had to go to get home. by the time i got to the dealership, the truck was stalling and blowing blue smoke out the back with a strong gasoline smell. after a week of waiting, it was finally determined that the fuel injectors leaked fuel into the engine. they have discussed replacing the long block, but say that it is a restricted item and they have to pull one off the assembly line and don't know when that will happen. i am still waiting to find out when i may get my truck back. i asked them to just replace the truck since it is so new, but they say at the dealership that it between me and chrysler and the tx lemon laws. i've had no luck even getting a response from chrysler. *la | |||
