| Description of the problem | My 2004 dodge 1500 ram truck has a defective valve on the fuel tank . Dodge told me the entire fuel tank needs to be changed to the tune of about $900! However, dodge does not have any fuel tanks & i'd be # 83 on a wait list!!! In the meantime, i cannot fill my tank with gas !!! I called dodge 800 # three weeks ago, but have still not heard back. Local dealers are not helpful either. |
