2008 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

RECENTLY WENT OVER 100K MILES AND FUEL TANK IS NOT FILLING PROPERLY, AS IT ACTUALLY TRIPS THE PUMP EVERY HALF GALLON OR SO. AFTER GETTING TANK FILLED, TRUCK STALLS FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 15 MILES. TRUCK HAS STALLED AT INTERSECTIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED, COMING TO A STOP, ETC. AFTER ABOUT 15 MILES, STALLING STOPS, BUT ONCE AGAIN THE TRUCK WILL NOT TAKE FUEL PROPERLY. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE FUEL TANK WITH AN EXACT REPLICA THAT STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND ONLINE RESEARCH, PROBLEM IS STATED TO BE A STUCK VENT LINE VALVE INTERNAL TO THE GAS TANK. ALMOST $2,000 DOLLARS WANTED TO REPLACE THIS TANK WITH ANOTHER TANK THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. WHEN TRUCK DOES STALL, LOSS OF STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. UNTIL I DROP IT INTO NEUTRAL, START IT AGAIN, AND PUT BACK IN DRIVE WHILE ALL THE TIME TRYING TO MAKE SURE I DO NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

ON 1/19/17 I MADE A 7 MILE ROUND TRIP DRIVE, RETURNED TO OUR HOUSE AND PARKED ON THE STREET. ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER AFTER MAKING MY LUNCH I OPENED FACEBOOK TO SEE A NOTIFICATION THAT A TRUCK WAS ON FIRE ON MY STREET. I WALKED OUT MY FRONT DOOR TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON ONLY TO FIND THE LEANDER FIRE DEPARTMENT PUTTING OUT THE FIRE INVOLVING MY DODGE RAM. THE ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF BELIEVES IT STARTED BY THE MASTER CYLINDER. *TR
