Nine problems related to other fuel system tank filling/charging have been reported for the 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On more than 1 occasion, after filling the gasoline tank, the vehicle has stalled shortly after being filled. Yesterday, I filled the tank. Aware of this issue from past experience, I avoided "overfilling" it. Approximately 3 or 4 miles later, I made a righ turn at low speed to enter a parking lot and the vehicle stalled. I lost power steering and struggled to get it turned safely. At first it wouldn't crank, but eventually I did get the truck restarted. I conducted some business, then went back to the truck and started it to head home. Again as I was turning right to exit the parking lot, the vehicle stalled and I had to struggle to get it to restart. This is extremely dangerous and from internet research, I know others are experiencing the same thing.
Just recently, my 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab, 4x2 will stall right after filling the tank with fuel. Within the first mile this truck has stalled at least three times. Once enough fuel has been burnt, the truck will run fine until the next fill up and the condition returns. When this happens, steering and brakes are lost creating an extremely hazardous condition and could end in a collision. This also happens when making turns or maneuvering through traffic. I have read that several others have had this same thing happen with their trucks. I have been told that my truck needs a new fuel tank assembly since the defective part is not serviceable as it is plastic welded inside the fuel tank. I am hoping that an investigation will be opened and a recall on these tanks is initiated to prevent vehicles from stalling in the middle of an intersection and creating a potentially life threatening situation.
While trying to fill fuel tank stationary at a gas station, fuel spills out and shuts down fuel filling nozzle, dealer replaced fuel fill tube on 11/22/2017 but this did not correct the problem. Now Chrysler wants me to b pay them to find the problem. I have read many Dodge forums with hundred of owners having this same issue.
Recently went over 100k miles and fuel tank is not filling properly, as it actually trips the pump every half gallon or so. After getting tank filled, truck stalls for about the first 15 miles. Truck has stalled at intersections, while driving at speed, coming to a stop, etc. After about 15 miles, stalling stops, but once again the truck will not take fuel properly. Called dealership and they want to replace fuel tank with an exact replica that still has not fixed the problem. According to local dealership and online research, problem is stated to be a stuck vent line valve internal to the gas tank. Almost $2,000 dollars wanted to replace this tank with another tank that has not been fixed. When truck does stall, loss of steering, brakes, etc. Until I drop it into neutral, start it again, and put back in drive while all the time trying to make sure I do not cause an accident.
At about 89,000 miles I noticed when filling the truck the nozzle would click off many times before it was filled. It steadily got worse as time went by, it started to spit gas back all over the truck and myself. The dealer told me it was either the filler tube or the whole gas tank both of which are over $2200. 00 dollars to replace. They said if I paid $150. 00 they would narrow it down. I paid the fee and was told it was the filler neck. They replaced it only to find it was not the problem. I tried to fill it up and was greeted by a gas spray as it had done before, it was not fixed! on top of that, the service manager, craig refused to do any more work on the vehicle and to take it elsewhere!.
After filling up to full tank of gas, truck runs rough and stalls at first couple of stops. Almost got run into from behind by another car. This happens every time you fill up gas.
The vehicle was stable at a costco gas station. When filling the fuel tank, gasoline spews out of the filler tube and sprays all over, including on me! the fuel sprayed from out and around the tank filler neck gasket. I called the dealer and asked the service writer what is going on? he said it was probably the roll-over valve that was in the filler neck. He said it could also be the fuel tank itself, which is costly. I asked about warranty or goodwill he said no. The problem, in the beginning, it was happening intermittently, it would splash back occasionally then it blocked the filler completely where I could only fill at a very slow dribble. I stopped driving any more than short distances and could only get a quarter of a tank in at about 25 minutes of holding the nozzle. Not only is it a fire danger, and a caustic chemical it is an environmental problem with gasoline spilling on to the person filling the truck, the ground, and the airborne fuel particles! I had them replace the fuel filler tube and it turns out not to be the problem! now they actually told me at the dealership, mcpeeks Dodge of anaheim that they would not be fixing my car and said to take it elsewhere! this is a very basic safety complaint on a system that is a basic fault of the design. I need help! please contact philip copeland state of California bureau of auto repair, who has done a lot of looking into my complaint. His number is (949) 988-5233. He has contacted the Dodge factory and the dealership that was my goto repair facility. He got nowhere but talked to everyone concerned and has much information. I have a large notebook filled with documentation, please call me (714)747-7601 thanks in advance, robert savoy.
When filling the gas tank, gas will spray out of the filler neck once tank becomes full using pump auto shut off or manually holding the pump handle.
When filling tank fuel was spewed back out the filler opening. Could only fuel truck at trickle of fuel from fuel pump. Dealer stated that check valve was stuck and that the fix was a new gas tank at $551. 00 .
