2017 Ram 2500 Fuel System Problems

No incident. Just a gripe... The last emissions recall they ran absolutely killed my gas milage.... It dropped off like 4-5 miles per gallon immediately following the update.... What is the point of emissions updates if they cause you to burn 20% more fuel...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE DEF PUMP GAUGE REGISTERED A ZERO (0). THE PUMP WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHO REPLACED THE DEF PUMP HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY INTERSECTION YOU PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN AND THE VEHICLE STUMBLES OR COMPLETELY DOESN'T REACT. IT HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE INVOLVED IN A SIDE COLLISION BECAUSE I COULDN'T GET POWER TO CROSS A LANE OF TRAFFIC. I CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAY ITS A COMMON THING THAT HAPPENS AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX. THEY ARE CALLING IT ""DEAD PEDAL"" RAM HAS TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE HEARD A EGR DELETE AND TUNE WILL FIX THE ISSUE. EGR DELETE IS ILLEGAL IN MY STATE AND I DO NOT WANT TO MODIFY MY VEHICLE FROM FACTORY SPECS. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION AND RAM NEEDS TO MAKE A FIX FOR THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 2500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, A STRONG ODOR OF DIESEL FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE ODOR WAS NOTICED EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MIRACLE DODGE IN GALLATIN, TENNESSEE) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ODOR WAS NORMAL FOR DIESEL FUEL VEHICLES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.
