Hi have a 2016 Ram 1500 5.7L hemi (big horn quad cab). Check engine and fuel light came on and read, " fuel level sensor fail" but my gas tank is full and still reads empty. After researching this is a big issue people are experiencing and complaining about and should be a recall..Dodge is doing nothing to remedy this faulty part and still charging people to fix a Dodge problem.. I wont ever buy a Dodge again at this rate.. very disappointed that Dodge is not fixing this known issue...quoted me over 600$ for the fuel pump assembly (part only) that I found for under 300$ from several other vendors.. just not fair as a consumer, I expected better from Dodge. I'll be looking to trade this Ram in and wont purchase another vehicle from Dodge unless they rectify, acknowledge and fix it asap!!!!!!
