Issue ID	1408749
Internal NHTSA #	11024508
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	DODGE
Model	RAM 1500
Model Year	2009
File date	19/09/17
Component	STRUCTURE:BODY
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The front strap holding the gas tank to the frame broke causing the fuel tank to drop very close to the ground. The vehicle was parked and i noticed something hanging underneath the car. Had i driven it, my concern is that it would have detached from the vehicle either because the remaining strap would detach or because the fuel tank would not clear a bump in the road surface. The potential for rupture or accident by my vehicle or a vehicle behind me is a major concern on my part. I have researched the issue on the web and there are quite a few reports of this happening. There have been complaints filed with dodge/ram and the company (from the reports) is not accepting responsibility for this issue. I am submitting this in the hope that the nhtsa may mitigate a potentially serious situation for someone else. .. Updated 09/25/17 bf . Updated 10/04/17 bf
