| While refueling truck, gas nozzle at gas station kept triggering off and causing fuel to spray out. this happened at a number of different gas stations. i brought the truck to dodge dealer and was advised today that the gas tank has to be replaced because of bad check valves. truck is not under warranty nor there is any recalls on it for this. i heard of this problem with other dodge cars and trucks. i beleive and want an investigation and a recall for this because of the fuel spraying out and possibly causing serious injury, fire and maybe even death because of their faulty fuel tanks. the truck is only 5 years old and has only approx 43k miles on it. | |||

| Roll over valve is cracked in 2006 dodge ram 1500 pickup truck gas tank. the check engine light came on at about 75,000 miles (8/09) but the cracked roll over valve was not identified until 4 visits later, about 79,000miles (10/09). computer codes do not readily identify the cracked roll over valve. the gas tank has to be replaced because the roll over valve is built in. dodge will not cover a new gas tank under warranty. it is not a usual procedure to replace gas tanks and i wanted to report this defect in the roll over valve. a quick search of the internet found recalls on 2006 model 2500 and 3500 series gas tanks for pickup trucks but none for the 1500 series trucks. have other complaints for cracked roll over valves been file? i am in the process of scheduling gas tank replacement with in the next week. do you want the old tank for inspection or have a representative look at it when it is removed from the truck? *tr | |||

| I have taken my 2006 dodge pickup 4 times to the dealer i bought it new from with the check engine light coming on and saying on the led readout to check gas cap. i can smell gas very strongly when i exit the vehicle. i have earnestly tried to get the dealer to fix this problem but to no avail. i have talked with the general manager at the dealer about this too. his response was i'll talked to the service manager on tuesday after labor day weekend. and call when they decide what to do...a week later and still no call to me. i feel they are not upholding my warranty and ignoring a very serious problem that can be combustible just by someone walking by smoking . the fumes from the gas is very strong ...but don't see any leaks. an innocent life or lives could be lost due to this. *jb | |||

| Accelerator sticks to the floor if stepped on too quickly. multiple attempts to repair and diagnose the cause have failed. attempts to reproduce the problem at many dealerships has not helped because the sticking of the pedal is very difficult to reproduce when you want it to. nonetheless,it has occurred at least six times and has made it so my wife is scared to death of the vehicle. *tr | |||
