Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500

Last Saturday on June 28 2014 I was leaving my residence when I observed a small leak dripping out of my rear differential where the pinion gear goes into the differential. I ordered a pinion seal at my local auto parts store. On my way to the parts store I noticed a very faint whine coming from the rear end. About 1 to 2 miles after the whine was first noticed it quickly became a roar for no more than 20 seconds and then the pinion gear snapped at the differential locking both my rear tires up sending my truck sideways. With my son in the back seat it was a very frightening experience for a 2 year old. I couldn't move the truck out of the middle of the street so I sat helplessly and waited for a tow truck. The next day I looked underneath the truck and realized that along with my rear end being toasted so was my drive shaft which had damage from spinning freely. Then I observed my gas tank with a dent so big I have no choice but to purchase a new tank. So far I have been quoted for a used rear differential at several salvage yards from 800-1400. It's ridiculous that this problem continues with Dodge trucks and nothing is being done about it. Is it going to take someone loosing there life because negligence from Dodge to get these problems fixed and hold Dodge accountable!!!!.

Occasional use of vehicle. Nothing has changed about how or when the vehicle is used. When filling truck with fuel, the pump will shut off after very little time and fuel sprays out of the filler neck and onto the ground and/or person filling the tank. If the fuel is pumped extremely slow, the pump will still shut off every few seconds and fuel will still spray out of the filler neck. The problem occurs every time I put fuel in the truck, no matter what gas station I use. My internet research has shown a recall for Dodge durangos of the same era. There have been several complaints on internet message boards with the exact same problem I am having. Fuel spillage is extremely dangerous as well as bad for the environment.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact noticed that the engine warning light consistently illuminated on the instrument panel. In addition, when fuel is placed in the vehicle, the gas tank overflows before it has been completely filled. She took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the fuel tank. Immediately after the repair, the failure resurfaced. The failure mileage was 37,620 and current mileage was 41,919.
