AFTER FUELING THE TRUCK THE FUEL NOZZLE GETS STUCK IN THE FILLER TUBE. I HAVE TO TWIST AND PULL VERY HARD TO GET THE FUEL NOZZLE OUT OF THE TUBE SPILLING FUEL ON TO THE GROUND AND MYSELF. LOOKING ON YOUTUBE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I CUT MY FINGER WHILE TRYING TO PULL OUT THE NOZZLE,

THE EGR UNIT IN MY TRUCK IS CRACKED. MY DODGE DEALER STATES THAT THERE IS A BACKORDER ON THE PARTS AND ADDITIONALLY I THINK THEY DON'T HAVE A REMEDY AND ARE CALLING THAT A "BACKORDER". THE COOLANT VAPOR THAT ENTERS MY TRUCK IS CAUSING HEADACHES AND I AM CONCERNED MY TRUCK MAY CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE DOCUMENTED FACTS REGARDING CRACKED EGR UNITS. THE COOLANT VAPOR ENTERS THE TRUCK CAB WHILE MOVING OR PARKED AND WITH AND WITHOUT THE HEATER FAN BEING ACTIVATED.

MY VEHICLES HAS HAD A 2 RECALLS AND HAVE ALSO TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR. RECENTLY I HAD TO TAKE IT FOR A TICKING NOISE, THEY FOUND THAT THE TICKING NOISE WAS DUE TO AN EXHAUST LEAK ON THE RIGHT EXHAUST MANIFOLD. EVERY SEVERAL MONTHS THERE'S A NEW ISSUE FOUND WITH MY VEHICLE.
