2008 DODGE RAM 1500 Complaints

MY TRUCK CAUGHT ON FIRE IN ENGINE AREA , ENGULFED BACK TO THE BOX WHOLE TRUCK DESTROYED! INSPECTOR NOT KNOW WHAT CAUSED FIRE. TRUCK WAS TOTALED. STATIONARY FOR TWO HOURS AT WORK.

WHILE TRYING TO FILL FUEL TANK STATIONARY AT A GAS STATION, FUEL SPILLS OUT AND SHUTS DOWN FUEL FILLING NOZZLE, DEALER REPLACED FUEL FILL TUBE ON 11/22/2017 BUT THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. NOW CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO B PAY THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE READ MANY DODGE FORUMS WITH HUNDRED OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. I START MY TRUCK AFTER FILLING UP AT THE PUMP. PULL OUT OF THE STATION, GO A LITTLE WAYS DOWN THE ROAD, STOP AT A STOPLIGHT. SIT AT IDLE FOR MAYBE 30 SECONDS & THE TRUCK DIES. THE TRUCK ONLY DOES THIS AFTER FILLUPS. NO CHECK ENGINE. NO CODES. LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING CONSTANTLY AFTER EVERY FILL UP. THE TRUCK RUNS FINE AFTERWARDS.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE AIR BAGS AND I TOOK IT TO DODGE DEALER ON MARINA BLVD SAN LEANDRO CALIFORNIA 94577, THEY FIXED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG BUT NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE. I NOT NOT RECEIVED NOTICE AS OF YET.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME REPORTING THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY ACCELERATION OR GAS PEDAL WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS SOMETIMES TO ACCELERATE. LIKE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY OR INTERSTATE OR TRYING TO PASS A SLOW-MOVING VEHICLE MY GAS PEDAL OR ACCELERATION PEDAL HAS A TENDENCY TO STICK. I THEN HAVE TO STOMP ON IT OR TRY TO PULL UP ON IT WITH MY FOOT TO FREE IT UP. AS I HAVE STATED IN MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT I GUESS NOTHING IS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT ON TILL SOMEONE IS HURT INJURED OR KILLED.

TAKATA RECALL. I BOUGHT A 2015 DODGE TRUCK AT AUTONATION CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM AT 3118 GOVERNMENT BLVD MOBILE, AL 36606. I USED MY 2008 DODGE 1500 AS A TRADE IN AND BECAUSE THE RECALL PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME THEY SEND THAT THEY COULD NOT SELL THAT TRUCK BECAUSE IT HAD ARECALL. THEY WOULD ONLY GIVE ME 4,000 ON TRADE THAT TRUCK WAS WORTH AROUND 8,000 DOLLARS. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER ABOUT TWO WEEK LATER AND THE 2008 THAT I TRADED WAS OFF THE LOT AND I AM SURE THAT THEY SOLD TO SOME BUY HERE HEAR PAY HERE I FELL LIKE THEY CHEATED ME OUT OF THE 4,000 DOLLARS MORE FOR THE TRUCK. GRANTED I MADE THE TRADE. BUT I FEEL LIKE THEY ACTED IN BAD FAITH THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX] ON, [XXX] [XXX].
