Seven problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Stalls at stops, slow speeds (especially when braking downhill) only when gas tank has been completely filled (full). Loss of steering and brakes.
I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 that has developed a leak in the gas tank. After doing some research, there are so many owners who are having to replace these tanks that the price has skyrocketed and I cant get one for over a month. This is a safety issue and Dodge should be required to replace these for free. It is going to cost me well over $1,000.
Fuel tank is cracked and leaks fuel. I took the vehicle to my mechanic for repairs. My mechanic ordered a new fuel tank from the local Dodge dealer. The Dodge dealer reports the tank is on back order due to 59 fuel tanks on order for the same problem, that is cracked fuel tanks on Dodge pickups.
When you fill up the gas tank gas shoots out the filler hole. Its not like normal vehicle when the gas handle clicks and stops. On my Dodge ram, the gas nozzle stops but as soon as it does gas come pouring out my filler hole. This is got to be a safety issue. If you search the internet im the only one with this problem.

Every time I fill fuel tank the engine starts stalling for up to and hour after. It now if it has more than a half of a tank, it not only stalls, but pushes raw gasoline out of yhe evap canaster. The truck is not safe to drive. The problem appears to be the same problem that Chrysler has had with Chrysler 300. It is malfunctioning shut off float that is allowing fuel to enter purge line. The float is part of the fuel tank and can only be fixed by replacing the $750. 00 fuel tank.
Truck shuts of without warning, during low idle situation, either coming to a stop, or upon entering a turn at low speed, or even at a stop light. Idle falls to 500rpms, engine shudders and then shuts off. Usually only happens after fuel tank is filled full with gasoline. No check engine codes are present, no malfunctions seemingly present. Condition is sporadic, and unpredictable, and can cause loss of control of vehicle, as power steering shuts off. I have taken the truck to a dealership, and have had diagnostics ran on fuel systems, but no apparent reasons exist that could be tested. Service dealership recommended replacement of fuel tank, due to check valve malfunction, requiring full fuel tank replacement, but no garuantee of repair of problem. This is a dangerous malfunction, as the issue is sporadic, and happens during operation, usually whenever a turn or a stop is involved. Loss of power without notice creates a condition where the driver has to figure out whats going on before reacting, and can cause overruns, or dangers to other vehicles and motorists.
