problem #8

1500 ES 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 85,000 miles

Been dealing with this issue for over a year. Haven’t gotten it fixed because of the high cost of the repair. However, due to engine light on because of this problem, I am unable to get vehicle through state emissions test. Even after topping off the tank, the light stays on all the time. Chrysler needs to have a recall to resolve this issue. Fuel sensor shouldn’t fail on a vehicle with only. 80,000 miles.

1500 Express 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,000 miles

The check engine light and fuel light went on at 63,000 miles!! The fuel gauge shot straight to E and it doesn't tell you range, either, just LOW FUEL. I had other trucks that the fuel pump/sensor didn't go out till 130k+. How is this not under any type of a recall? Can you just replace it by yourself? They were gonna charge me $780 to replace it.

1500 Express 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

This is a known component defect that should be escalated to a RECALL; it affects the vehicles emission system as well and generates codes for vapor sensor and emissions leaks/gas cap faults. It renders the fuel level gauge INOPERABLE while operating the vehicle.

The truck was back to the dealer several times due to the emissions/vapor leak errors and the ultimate root cause was the FUEL SENSOR which requires replacement of the ENTIRE FUEL PUMP.

Fuel sensor failed. Found on the net that other owners had the same problem. I cannot use the eco mode with the warning on, also do not have an analog gas gauge that works. FCA (Fiat/Chrysler) reuses to repair or issue a recall. Have to remove the fuel tank to fix, so it is expensive.

1500 Sport 5.7V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

Fell in love with this truck, still love it.. but getting service stinks. Always no appointment opening at the dealerships but I feel this problem needs to be on recall list. Either you have to replace the whole fuel pump or replace the fuel sending unit!

1500 Hemi

  • Automatic transmission

Dealer stated no covered under any warrenty. With this being an issue with many owners of this year/make, this should be filed and covered/recalled...

1500 Lonestar 5.7L V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 55,000 miles

Heard from the repair guys that this problem is common for 2014 Ram 1500s. Ram should take care of this problem with a recall.

1500 SLT V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 46,000 miles

Check engine light came on with the dash cluster saying fuel sensor fail, but the gauge would come back and drop off every now and again then come back on when I fill it up full, but once I put a 100 miles on it "Fuel Sensor FAIL".
