general problems of the 2008 Dodge Ram 2500

I stopped at a gas station and was filling my veh. With gas and it began to vigorously spray out of the filler neck where the gas cap fits and the station's filler nozzle, all over my skin, cloths, the side of the veh. And the ground. This was a gusher of gas spraying out with force and would not let me fill the veh. ! this has happened on several of the Dodge ram trucks and is covered on all models except mine. The dealer tells me it is recall# x49 on other trucks all around my VIN # and age but not mine. This a big fire issue and if other trucks do it and get fixed why is mine less likely to catch fire this has happened to me several times and I have had to fill it from a can with a funnel to be able to drive. This negates any evaporative emission controls I have. Please help me!.

Tipm (total integrated power module) failed while driving vehicle. Vehicle lost engine power, power steering, and brakes. ¾-ton trucks are very heavy and are near impossible to turn and control without power steering and do not stop without power brakes. I was able to maneuver vehicle to the side of the road with minimal damage to the body. I was lucky to not cause a bigger accident and lucky not to injure myself or anybody else. This tipm failure is very common with Dodge vehicles and I am disgusted how Chrysler-Dodge has conducted themselves in regard to recalls and warranty. Had I been towing a trailer on the highway I would have certainly caused an accident. I fear this tipm failure will result in loss of life if it hasn't so already.

Purchased our truck in June of 2010 from a local Dodge dealer. The truck only had 23k and seemed to run okay besides getting crap gas milage. In late October 2011 the check engine light came on but when we started it up the next morning the light was no longer illuminated. The light stayed off for about two weeks but then the vehicle started running poorly. It would randomly lose power when beginning to accelerate and make a sound almost like a backfire. The first couple of times it began to pick up speed after the initial hesitation but shortly after that the check engine light came on again and it wouldn't go above 10mph. We pulled off to the side of the road and turn it off. When the truck was restarted the light went off and it ran normally again. The truck was taken to the dealership the following day and we were told that even though our truck had less than 40k miles on it, the warranty had expired two weeks previously and they would not cover the cost to diagnose or repair it!!! we did not have the $ to do anything right then so out of desperation I began researching what could possibly be causing the issues with hopes of finding an inexpensive fix that we might be able to do on our own. This is when I learned that Chrysler had issued two recalls, g30 - replace the oxygen sensor module & j35 - reprogram/update the ecm. Neither of these were mentioned to us at the dealership when we brought the vehicle nor when we brought it in with these issues and were turned away. I did find out that the re-programming and update had been completed on the truck 5/24/2010. However, I have also since read about many owners continuing to have the same issues after the required "fix" had been completed just as we have. We're left with a truck that's a hazard to drive and pray that it doesn't cut out in front of oncoming traffic while trying to get out onto a road or even worse.
