CEL CAME ON FOR FIRST TIME SINCE BUYING TRUCK 1 YEAR AGO AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. REPLACED GAS CAP; 3 MONTHS LATER SAME PROBLEM, REPLACED GAS CAP AGAIN. TODAY, 07/12/2019, SAME ISSUE WITH CEL COMING ON, BUT THIS TIME, FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AFTER JUST FILLING GAS TANK. TURNED ENGIND OFF & RESTARTED FUEL GAUGE WORKING AGAIN, BUT CEL STILL ON. TOOK GAS CAP OFF THEN REINSTALLED, FUEL GAGE WORKING, BUT CEL STILL ON.

ENGINE STARTED MISSING AND VIBRATING WHEN ACCELERATING, ENGINE TROUBLE CODE P0303 APPEARED. TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND AFTER INSPECTING THEY DETERMINED IT TO BE THE CAMSHAFT. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. ALL SAID AND DONE THE TOTAL COST WAS $3129.00.

I HAVE BROKEN MANIFOLD BOLTS. TOOK IT TO MIENEKE THE MECHANIC SAID HE COULD SEE THE BOLTS SHAKING SO HE KNEW THEY WERE BROKEN.

1. WHEN I ACCELERATE THE TRUCK MY SERVICE 4WD DRIVE LIGHT COMES IN AND WHEN I SLOW DOWN AT 30MPH OR LOWER IT GOES OFF. I CHANGED OUT THE 4WD MOTOR ALREADY AND STILL HAVE THE ISSUE. 2. WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS IN TOWN AT A SPEED OF 40MPH OR LESS YOU CAN HEAR A CLICKING COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. WHEN I PUT IT IN TOW/HAUL THE NOISE WILL GO AWAY THOUGH.
