2014 Ram 1500 Fuel System Problems

Fuel Tank Strap Mounting Bracket failed on 2014 Ram 1500. Part covered under FCA Warranty Extension #X75. Due to failure, driveshaft was deeply scored and recommended be replaced due to safety concerns.

Fuel sensor failure. Began around 60,000 miles. Unless tank is full tank will display as empty. This also causes the check engine light to be on. Causes me to never know how much fuel is in the tank. I have nearly run out of fuel several times. This is a known issues across Dodge RAM forums for this era of RAM. It is not safe to operate at speed and run out of fuel unexpectedly.

While changing oil, noticed the front fuel tank strap was disconnected from the frame. Upon closer inspection, the outboard front fuel tank strap mounting location on the frame rusted through, allowing the T portion if the strap to fall lose. There is a similar recall for 08-12 Ram 1500's, but clearly this issue persists for more than just those model years

Took truck to dealership, 2014 Ram 1500. They found front fuel tank strap has rusted out of its “T” hock position. Similar to the issue with 2008-2012 Rams. Very dangerous. Cannot drive in this condition

Fuel tank strap rotted at the frame rail and pulled out, will now not pass inspection and was for some reason not included in other 2014 ram 1500 recall for same problem. We didnt notice it was broken we were told when we took it for inspection.

FRONT FUEL TANK STRAP RUSTED AND BROKE. LUCKILY TRUCK WAS AT HOME WHEN I NOTICED THIS PROBLEM. FRONT OF TANK IS ONLY INCHES FROM THE GROUND AND COULD PRESENT A MAJOR HAZARD IF I CONTINUED TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE.

We were driving down the highway and heard a weird grinding type noise. We pulled right over to check what was wrong and noticed the fuel tank strap mount had broken apart at the frame from corrosion. Causing it to rest against the driveshaft and creating a deep groove in the driveshaft its self .

My 2014 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi is constantly displaying the check engine light. Computer scans reveal it is the fuel level sensor. This appears to be a very common problem for this era of Ram trucks. So many comments in Ram forums and on YouTube. This should be a recall due to the stock ones constantly being worn out. Videos and comments online show that mileage does not play a part in failure, as this is happening on vehicles with as little as 60,000 miles and up. This should also be a recall as this should not be attempted by vehicle owners without repair knowledge. So many videos online about jacking up the bed and being supported by 2x4 boards or if removing the gas tank, the static electricity concern. Though this code has come up at least twice before, I am including the most recent issue. I simply refill my truck with the highest premium to help clear the problem. It has worked thus far, but many others complain about the problem also resulting in a failed fuel gauge that constantly shows empty.

Took the truck to Larry H Miller Ram in Surprise AZ for the high pressure fuel pump recall on 29 Nov. Picked up the truck on [XXX]. About 1.5-2 miles down the road the truck started spraying fuel everywhere, losing traction. Was on a main road so I had to go about a mile before I could pull off the road safely. Called the dealership to come get me and the truck. Service advisor let me know the low pressure line fitting had failed! When I picked the truck up again on 3 Dec, the advisor told me that they are being pushed by the manufacturer to re-use one time use fittings and that is what failed on my truck! UNACCEPTABLE. Fortunately I was on a 45mph road not the freeway doing 70! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I filled my ram with gas and a gas tank strap fell through the frame. The frame around the strap failed while the rest of the frame looks to be in good condition.
