2020 Ram 1500 fuel/propulsion system problems

“I have had repeated problems with this truck, even after repair repairs done by the RAM dealership. Currently, I am experiencing a failure of the high-pressure fuel system. I know it is on recall for other diesel engines, and I believe that this engine should be a part of that recall.”

“Recall 01A was performed on my vehicle, but the replacement fuel pump failed again, contaminating the entire fuel loop with metal shavings and risking sudden engine stalling in traffic”

“When filling the truck full, fuel will occasionally spill out onto myself and the ground. The fuel also leaks into the cap canister, purge valve and dumps fuel into the manifold as well as leaking on the ground. When driving the entire cab reeks of fuel. This is a known issue by Dodge and they have a TSB out on it. My vehicle could become a fireball at any time. Dealer replaced my evap canister but didn’t even give me the TSB which wound up costing me more money once my mechanic found the problem. This is a 3,000.00 + repair for something that can cause a severe fire.”

“High Pressure Fuel Pump failed. Pump failure can cause car to stop when not intended. Problem confirmed by an independent service center. Component not inspected by others. No warning lights or messages prior to the failure. The High Pressure Fuel Pump was replaced 4/30/2024 as part on 'Safety Recall Z96 - High Pressure Fuel Pump - Replace High Pressure Fuel Pump' by Merrick Dodge 3614 Sunrise Highway, Wantagh NY 11793.”

“While coming to a stop at an intersection, vehicle engine stalled and transmission automatically slammed itself into park, with no warning, nearly causing a collision. This issue has previously been recalled for other Ram Trucks - some were not appropriately recalled and pose a major safety risk.”

“The gas tank does not fill properly and leads to spilled gas while filling the tank. There is a technical bulletin (looks like 14-001-22) that tells mechanics how to fix the issue. I brought my truck to a mechanic who was able to replicate this issue and did confirm with a neighboring Chrysler dealership that they would not help cover the cost of the repair. The mechanic's notes mention that the TSB requires the fuel tank to be replaced entirely. There were no indications that this was an issue prior to it happening 5 weeks into me owning the vehicle.”
