Other Fuel System Fuel Injection System Problems of Dodge Ram 2500

Driving at highway speed the cruise control would not disengage via the brake or by hitting off on the steering wheel. If I put the clutch in the engine was idling at 2300 rpms. The throttle was stuck on and I could not slow down. . . I turned the engine off and turning it back on again the problem was not reset. My clutch and breaks got a little burnt up making it home that night. . . As the problem happened when I was in the middle of nowhere. One I made it home I turned the engine off and manually jiggled the throttle linkages on the side of the injection pump. Restarted the vehicle and the the problem was reset until cruise control was used again. . . . This was very dangerous to have the throttle sticking at such high speed. . . So I looked into safety recalls #b15 thinking great my truck is covered. . . Only to find out that recall was already performed. Also the fuel heater recall was performed and it so happens in the last 4 moth hhave to do the furlel heater delete because the wiring and plastic piece was all burnt up. Looks like these trucks are having a second round of the same or similar safety recall issues.

I own a 1992 Dodge d-250 with a 5. 9l cummins diesel engine. I was driving on I-95 one day under load when all of a sudden my truck tried to take off. The injection pump failed and gave it full throttle. It was scary as hell and I am lucky traffic wasn't bad and I was able to get it into neutral avoiding a crash. I later found out that there was a recall for that pump (recall #605). My truck has the faulty pump. . . . Is stamped #169. . . . Was never replaced. . . . Yet Dodge says there were never any recalls for my truck. None at all. Ever. Do I have the best and safest vehicle ever to be manufactured that is never needed anything serviced, or is Dodge lying as they are about the Jeep liberty recalls. . . Which I also own, but has been fixed. This recall #605 was a safety recall and should be honored forever. I want a safe injection pump. Bottom line.

The Dodge Ram 2500 truck has a cummins diesel engine with common rail fuel injection. March 2013 while on a trip pulling a trailer, the number 5 & 6 fuel injector lines were severely rusted / corroded which resulted in a bad fuel leak. I lost close to 30 gallons of diesel fuel in 40 miles driving distance. The under hood and underbody of the truck was coated in fuel. Vehicles behind me had some fuel spray as well. It was smoking bad behind me due to the fuel being on the exhaust system. I had a Dodge dealer replace two of the six fuel injector lines. No choice. The dealer also cleaned the underbody. Once I returned home from the trip, I had a different Dodge dealer replace the other four injector lines. If this was a gas engine, the truck would've burned to the ground. Now, November 2014, I see the brake lines from the master cylinder to the abs brake controller are also severely rusted / corroded. They are not leaking yet. It is just a matter of time. I will have them replaced prior to taking any trips, and will have the brake system completely flushed too. Pulling a trailer with the truck and losing the brake system could prove to be fatal. The truck now has 96000 miles, and is always parked inside a garage. These lines should not have corroded so badly, even in minnesota.

My vehicle was started and on pulling out of a parking lot the engine shut down as though it ran out of fuel. The truck was towed into a shop and diagnosed with having a fuel transfer pump failing which in turn caused the injection pump to fail. This is on a Dodge with a cummins diesel engine. The repair shop quoted a price to repair it and gave me what they determined to be wrong. Prior to authorizing any repair contact was made with the Chrysler dealer where it was purchased who also advised that this had been a known problem in the past that they had run into. The repair is to remove the transfer pump and place a fuel pump in the fuel tank and replace the line to the injection system and replace the injection pump. All this was $4500 in repairs. It seems that if Chrysler knew about this and in later years corrected why are they not now forced to make a recall on the older models and/or pay for the cost of my repairs.

2000 Dodge Ram 2500 fuel injector pump quit after driving at a normal speed. I was out of town, almost two hours from home and it just died on me. I had to have it towed back home ($350 bucks to get it home) and was without a vehicle for three weeks. I tried all of the local dealerships to see if Dodge had knowledge of a ongoing problems with the pumps, but nobody would help. I later discovered through friends and the internet that almost everyone has had to replace the pump on their Dodge. This is my third and last Dodge to ever buy. No wonder the company is dead last in vehicle sales and service.

I have a 2004 Dodge ram cummins turbo diesel truck. Around Aug 14 2006 I had a fuel injector fail. The result is a crankcase full of fuel which exits the engine out of the overflow at the rear of the engine, this in turn causes fuel to cover the rear of the engine and underside of the truck. Again last weekend sept 17th I had another failure. I believe that the combination of fuel and hot exhaust is a fire waiting to happen. The dealer other than a warranty repair denies that there is a problem but on various web sites I keep hearing about others having the same problem. I think this is a time bomb waiting to happen that could kill or severely hurt someone from a resulting fire.

2004 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel pickup all six injectors have went out twice and Chrysler has refused t do anything about it. The first time they went out the pickup naturally died and the power steering went out at 75 mph on a curve in north dakota causing a near accident . As a result when the injectors went out it filled my crankcase with fuel which poses a possible explosion factor. Chryser blamed it on my chip but it happened again with out the chip leading me to believe there is an obvious design flaw that could lead to the possible death of the operator.

At approximately 14 miles north of town on a remote stretch of mountain roadway the 2000 Dodge/cummins Ram 2500; with only 57,000 miles, shut down as if I had turned off the key. I know several Dodge/cummins truck owners and many have had experiences with the fuel injector pumps going bad on low mileage, late model trucks. Ended up having the vehicle towed. Two days later put the truck on the ferry headed back to juneau. I made contact with daimler/Chrysler corporation customer assistance. I described the above incident. I also stated that I was aware of the ongoing problems and numerous failures with the Dodge/cummins fuel injection pumps. Daimler/Chrysler stated that the vehicles warranty period had expired but that the company would entertain the prospect of assisting me with the repair since the mileage was so low and acknowledge that the corporation was aware of the fuel injection pump problems. Daimler/Chrysler told me to get a diagnosis from a Dodge dealership before they would proceed with any assistance. I promptly delivered the truck to the dealership that morning. I had to sign an agreement for a minimum of 1 hour labor at $100. 00/hr. They confirmed my diagnosis of the fuel injection pump and quoted $2700. 00 for the repair. I called the next morning and relayed this information to daimler/Chrysler. They stated they would contact the dealership and get back in touch with me. Daimler/Chrysler has not made any attempt to contact me.

While traveling down a city street in heavy mid-day traffic, my 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 pick-up truck stopped running. I had no warning. One second the vehicle was running fine and the next second it was dead. Since it is a cummins turbo diesel equipped truck, I lost power steering and power brake assist. Luckily, I was able to wrestle the steering wheel and guide the truck into a mostly empty parking lot with the vehicle's momentum. I had to apply great force to the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a stop. My biggest concern is, if my wife had been driving instead of me, the loss of power steering and brake assist would have greatly enhanced the chance of a crash and/or personal injury. The problem which caused the engine to stop running turned out to be the inoperative bosch vp-44 injection pump. A re-manufactured pump is the only form of repair available for these vehicles. After much internet research, I have found that the vp-44 injection pump is notoriously unreliable and extremely failure-prone. I feel that daimler-Chrysler should be held responsible for repairing these vehicles with a more reliable injection pump and/or refunding money spent by owners on repairing this issue. This is a very serious safety issue that the NHTSA should become involved in.

The consumer experienced sudden acceleration in his 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab. The consumer also stated the vehicle was becoming difficult to start, so he replaced the fuel filter. The consumer dropped the vehicle off at the dealer. The dealer informed the consumer, they could not get the vehicle started, because the fuel was contaminated with a fluid that was real dark. The consumer had the vehicle towed to another shop where he was then told there was a lot of rust in both manifolds and the head, but the fuel looked fine. The mechanic recommended the injectors be replaced. Since the replacement of the injectors the vehicle is now drivable.
