Description of the problem | This is a known issue that is all over the internet. I believe it starts with the 2009 model year to the 2018 model year. Ram forums have shown that owners have had this issue begin from 20k miles and up from there. The issue is the fuel gauge would stop functioning and read empty. Causing the check engine light to come on which cause the vehicle to no longer operate in eco ( describe 4 cylinders for better fuel economy) mode untill the issue is resolved. Some owners as well as my self have had the vehicle stall out, forcing me to navigate to the shoulder before attempting to restart the vehicle. Usually starts right up and the check engine will remain on. With my vehicle if the tank is full the guest works and i do not have a problem untill 40-60 miles into driving where the check engine light would come back on and at times causing the stall. Other owners have reported that the guage does not work 100% of the time. There is a big number of owners who have just gotten it fixed but most just live with the issue since it's not causing a stall. I cannot stress the importance of a recall on these rams for the people that are dealing with the issue . And the number of un reported claims to your agency. Please look into this for the many owners who have failed to report to you this ongoing problem that the dealerships and fiat is well aware of. They have even advised people that the nhtsa issues recalls not the company. Just seems like they are waiting for your agency to issue one. Thank you for your time and for the organization you work for. |
