Three problems related to other fuel system tank filling/charging have been reported for the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I purchased this vehicle in the fall of 2014. Immediately I began having difficulty filling the fuel tank. The fueling system would continually click off time and again while trying to fill the tank. I did some research and found out that several Chrysler products had this problem with the filler neck. I also learned that Chrysler knew of the problem and had published service bulletins on this but did little to nothing to help the consumer. Even with a discount I had to spend $709 to replace the neck. I am not asking that they do a general recall, but if someone had a problem they should step up and rectify the situation. This is my fifth Dodge ram, but the first time I have sought for Dodge to step up and help.
When filling my vehicle with gas the tank gets full and the pump stops but only after spitting fuel all over the ground. This recently started happening but now happens every time I fill up no mater what octane and no matter what station I choose. I would estimate up to a half gallon of gas spills on the ground. Service bulletin at shop alldata repair advised of similar issues being resolved by replacing evap canister, emission system integrity monitor, vapor line & filetr. All these were replaced and still having the same issue. Dealer service department say they have never heard of this issue, yet local shop found the service bulletin. Just waiting for an explosion to happen at this point, let alone the ground pollution from the fuel. Related complaints I was able to find: NHTSA 10561110 10502815 10498166.
When filling up the gas tank and the pump is off gas is expelled from the tank. Dealer examined and stated it was a faulty check valve in the gas tank. The tank needs to be replaced. Seems to be a common occurrence with Dodge gas tanks.
