| Description of the problem | I stopped at a gas station and was filling my veh. With gas and it began to vigorously spray out of the filler neck where the gas cap fits and the station's filler nozzle, all over my skin, cloths, the side of the veh. And the ground. This was a gusher of gas spraying out with force and would not let me fill the veh.! This has happened on several of the dodge ram trucks and is covered on all models except mine. The dealer tells me it is recall# x49 on other trucks all around my vin # and age but not mine. This a big fire issue and if other trucks do it and get fixed why is mine less likely to catch fire this has happened to me several times and i have had to fill it from a can with a funnel to be able to drive. This negates any evaporative emission controls i have. Please help me! |
