2004 DODGE RAM 1500 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

I tried to get the service done Iam a one vehicle owner the dealership told me I had to pay out of pocket for the rental car with no set day of service The dealership didn’t care whether I got the recall done cause of the year of the vehicle they provided no transportation solution

I recently figured out a problem with my truck that is an extreme danger. When you fill up the fuel tank at any gas station, it seems that the fuel enters the vapor canister and makes the engine stall for about a mile before it starts running properly. After several close encounters after filling the tank, I looked upon other threads of Dodge Ram owners and found this to be a common problem that was never addressed by Chrysler and never acted upon by NHTSA. Please look into this and advise a course of action to have Chrysler repair this problem.. It is a matter of time before either I or another with the same problem are seriously injured or killed due to this defect. Many Thanks In Advance!!

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY 55 MPH AND HEARD A NOISE WHILE EXITING AND WE THOUGHT WE HIT A LARGE HOLE. BEFORE WE REACHED THE END OF THE OFF RAMP TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH BUT GIVING THE TRUCK SOME GAS TO ACCELERATE WE HEARD A VERY LOUD POP AND IT FELT LIKE SOMETHING HIT THE BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK.WE PULLED OFF TO SIDE AND CHECKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE THE SLIP YOLK AND U JOINT OF THE DRIVELINE WERE BROKEN AND THE FLANGE NUT ON REAR END WAS BACKED OFF AND THE REAR END WAS SHATTERED. ALSO THE FUEL VAPOR RECOVERY LINES WERE BROKE FROM THE SLIP YOLK AND U JOINT BREAKING. IS THIS ISSUE RELATED TO RECALL NUMBER 14V79600

WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK AT ANY STATION AT ANY TIME OF YEAR, WHILE FILLING MY GAS TANK WILL CONTINUOUSLY PUKE GAS BACK UP THE FILLER TUBE ALL OVER THE GROUND, THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE AMONG MANY DODGE VEHICLES. IT'S UNSAFE AND TO FIX IT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT, TRUCK ON, TRUCK OFF.

WHEN I FILL UP I SMELL AND SEE FUEL ON TOP OF TANK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE

ENGINE STALLS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AND WHEN IN IDLE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO. CHECK ENGINE HAS NEVER TURNED ON.

JUST CAUGHT FIRE BURNED UP COMMON PROBLEM LOTS OF FIRES

FIRST IT WAS FUEL LIGHT COMING ON THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. GOT THAT OFF THEN THE BLOWN LIGHT STARTED COMING ON CHANGE ALL BLOWN FUSES AND LIGHTS BUT LIGHT WOULDN'T GO OUT AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. PAID TO FIXED AFTER 1 YEAR IT STARTED UP ALL OVER AGAIN.

FUEL TANK STRAP FAILED DUE TO RUST - TANK DRAGGED - 2004 NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL THAT INCLUDED 2009 - 2012. IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED BECAUSE EVERYTHING THEY SAID COULD HAPPEN, DID. PAID $249.54 TO REPAIR AT DEALERSHIP. FREEHOLD DODGE - FREEHOLD, NJ

ENGINE STALLS AT ALL SPEEDS ON AN INTERSTATE WHILE GOING 75 MPH WITH NO CONTROL OF STEERING DUE TO LOST OF POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART OF SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T RIGHT AWAY BUT AFTER ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES IT WILL RESTART. THIS IS ALSO TRUE OF PARKING LOTS AND CITY STREETS. WITH NO CODES OR ENGINE CHECK LIGHT TO REFER TO.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB. I AM HAVING ISSUE FINDING MOPAR-OEM BELL CRANK PART# 53032456 AE. IF YOU GO TO THE DEALER IN ELK GROVE CA, THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER 270. OR ON THE MORPAR WEBSITE THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER TOO. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE TRUCK HAS ( ) WITH A LIGHTING VOLT. YOU LOOSE ALL POWER AND THE TRUCK STAYS AT HIGH IDLE ABOUT 1800 RPMS. DIFFICULT BRAKING WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS.

SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE RPMS REV AND DOWN THE A LIGHT ON DASH COMES ON.THE LIGHT SYMBOL LOOKS LIKE A LIGHTING BOLT WITH TWO LINES ONE IN EACH SIDE OF LIGHTING BOLT. SWITCH TRUCK OFF AND RESTART THE LIGHT GOES OFF AND TRUCK RUNS FINE. IT MIGHT NOT DO IT AGAIN A DAY OR SOMETIMES A WEEK OR SO.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS I PULL OUT ON TO THE ROAD AND IT GOES DEAD AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS IT'LL CRANK BACK UP ..HAS JUST ABOUT GOTTEN ME KILLED SEVERAL TIMES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY TRUCK STOPPED RUNNING. FOUND THE FUEL PUMP WAS NO GOOD. I HAVE BEEN AN AUTO MECHANIC FOR YEARS AND THIS IS VERY DANGERIOUS! I HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE DAVES AUTO ON MADISON AVE TOLD ME THE FUEL PUMP WAS NO GOOD ALSO THE FUEL TANK IS NO GOOD THE RING ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IS ROTTEN THE "TABS THAT HOLD THE FUEL PUMP IN IS ROTTEN" AND WHERE THE FUEL PUMP SITS ON THE FUEL TANK IS LIKE IN A WELL SO WHEN IT RAINS THE WATER ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK SITS IN THE FUEL PUMP LOCATION HAS NO WHERE TO DRAIN AND MY THERY IS THAT IS WHAT ROTTS THE FUEL PUMP BRACKET ON THE FUEL TANK! AND THEY SAID IT IS NOT SAFE I HAD TO GET A NEW...

WHEN THE GAS TANK ON THIS TRUCK IS FILLED TO CAPACITY, THE TRUCK WILL STALL WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THE TRUCK CANNOT BE FILLED TO THE "FULL" MARK. IF IT IS IT WILL STALL WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID IT IS TO NOT FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY FULL.

MY TRUCK WAS PARKED AT WORK AND AT THE END OF THE DAY IT WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED HOME AND I DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP FAILED. THE NEXT DAY I LIFTED THE BED TO REPLACE IT AND I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE WHOLE TOP OF THE TANK'S LOCKING RING TANGS WERE ALL RUSTED AWAY AND THE PUMP WAS JUST SITTING IN THE TANK CROOKED. IF IT WAS FILLED FULL OR IN AN ACCIDENT FUEL WOULD'VE SLOOSHED OUT OF THE TANK. ON A ROLLOVER THE ENTIRE TANK WILL EMPTY.

FOR A FEW WEEKS I WOULD OCCASIONALLY SMELL GAS FUMES. I HAD THE TRUCK VISUALLY INSPECTED AND THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEN ONE DAY I FILLED THE TANK. WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL, INSTEAD OF THE PUMP SHUTTING OFF THE PUMP BEGAN POURING GAS ONTO THE GROUND. THIS TIME THEY DROPPED THE TANK TO FIND THAT THE METAL COLLAR ON TOP OF THE TANK HAD RUSTED AWAY CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO POP UP HALF OUT OF THE TANK. THAT WAS THE REASON THE PUMP HAD NOT SHUT OFF . GAS WAS FLOWING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE TANK!!. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IF THE FUEL PUMP CONNECTION HAD SHORTED OUT WITH THE TOP OF THE TANK OPEN THE WAY IT WAS ,ME AND ANYONE IN THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN BLOWN UP!!!. THIS WAS A VERY POOR DESIGN ON CHRYSLER'S PART THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL...

FUEL TANK HAS METAL TABS TO LOCK FUEL PUMP IN POSITION. WATER CAN COLLECT WITH ROAD SALTS TO EAT AWAY THE LOCKING TABS WHICH ALLOWS THE FUEL TO LEAK OUT NEXT TO HOT EXHAUST WHICH CAN CAUSE FIRE. WHEN FILLING FUEL TANK THE FUEL WILL SEEP OUT BECAUSE THE LOCKING TABS NO LONGER HOLD THE PUMP IN PLACE. THIS LEAKED FUEL CAN CAUSE FIRE, AND ALLOW FUEL TO POOL UNDER THE VEHICLE CAUSING FUEL SPILLS.

THE TRUCK STALLS AT STOPS AND TURNS AFTER FUEL FILL UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AS STATED IN OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER SLOWING DOWN AT INTERSECTION OF DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. IF YOU RIDE THE BRAKE AND GAS, YOU CAN KEEP FROM STALLING. THIS INCIDENT STARTED TO HAPPEN AFTER A SMELL OF GAS VAPOR SMELL AFTER FILLING TANK. RESEARCHED STALLING AND GAS SMELL, WAS LED TO OTHER SCALP NOTICE FOR HEMI GAS TANK DUE TO ETHANOL GAS CAUSING THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK TO EXPAND AND NOT CLOSE. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK YOU GET LIQUID GAS IN THE PURGE VAPOR CANISTER AND LINE. THIS GIVING YOU THE GAS SMELL UPON FILLING. I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE TANK PAST 3/4 AND HAVE NOT HAD THE ISSUE SINCE. KIND OF DISAPPOINTED THAT OTHER HEMI MODELS GAS TANKS WERE RECALLED, BUT NOT THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

STALLS AT EVERY STOP AFTER RE FUELING

A WHINING SOUND STARTED COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE APPROX 30 MIN BEFORE THE REAR END EXPLODED LOCKING THE VEHICLE UP AND CAUSING THE DRIVE SHAFT TO FLY ACROSS TWO LANES OF HEAVY HOLIDAY TRAFFIC. THANK THE LORD NO ONE WAS INJURED OR ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED DUE TO THIS FAILURE OF A LOOSE PINION NUT ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP WHO SAID IT WILL COST OVER 4500 DOLLARS NOT INCLUDING CAR RENTAL TO GET IT REPAIRED, THE DEALER SAID THEY CONTACTED THE MFG. AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DEALER MAINTAINED SINCE NEW AND SHOULD NOT HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITHOUT A RECALL OR WARNING.

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING AT EVERY FILL UP. ONCE I FILL THE TANK, FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 OR SO MILES AFTER THE FILLUP, MY TRUCK TRIES TO STALL IF I DON'T REV THE ENGINE UP REALLY HIGH.. AT STOP LIGHTS OR TURNS, IT WILL STALL COMPLETELY. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO STALL ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEED! ONCE I DRIVE 20 OR SO MILES IT STOPS. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OWNERS THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH A FUEL VENT OR SOMETHING. APPARENTLY THIS IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME *TR

THE TRUCK STALLS AT IDLE OR LOW SPEEDS AFTER REFUELING. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND THE TRUCK IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED AS I AM ENTERING OFF-RAMPS AND PROCEEDING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. THE PROBLEM IS THE VAPOR/LIQUID SEPARATOR VALVE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE VALVE IS DESIGNED TO PREVENT LIQUID FUEL FROM ENTERING THE CHARCOAL CANISTER/EMISSIONS SYSTEM. WHEN THE VALVE FAILS, LIQUID GAS CAN ENTER THE LINE AND FILL THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. AFTER REFUELING, THE PCM ON THE VEHICLE DETECTS A CHANGE IN FUEL LEVEL. THEN, WHEN THE ENGINE MEETS CERTAIN TEMPERATURE AND DRIVING CRITERIA, THE PCM ISSUES A PURGE COMMAND TO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER TO REMOVE THE STORED GAS VAPORS. IT?S AT THAT POINT THAT ALL THE LIQUID GAS IN THE LINE GETS SUCKED INTO THE CHARCOAL CANISTER. THE PCM EXPECTS TO SEE GAS...

I HAVE A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 WHEN I GET GAS AND FILL UP UNTIL THE PUMP CLICKS (I DO NOT TOP OFF TANK) THEN UPON PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION MY TRUCK STALLS. IF I STOP FOR A RED LIGHT TRUCK STALLS AGAIN AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL EVERY NOW AND THEN AT LOW SPEEDS, AT A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN BRAKING, SLOWING DOWN, OR AT IDLE AND LAST UNTIL I RUN SOME GAS OUT OF IT (ABOUT 10 MILES OR SO). VEHICLE WILL START RIGHT UP WITH NO PROBLEM BUT BATTERY GAUGE TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO RISE TO OPERATING LEVELS. TRANSMISSION ALSO FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO SLIP AT TIME OF STALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT BECAUSE A CODE WAS NOT THROWN IT IS MY ISSUE TO DEAL WITH (HAVE TO DROP THE GAS TANK AND REPLACE A SENSOR IN THE OVERFLOW TUBE $500...

I PURCHASED THIS 2004 DODGE ON JANUARY 5TH 2015. I WAS TO RETURN ON JANUARY 7TH TO HAVE DIFFERENT TIRES & RIMS INSTALLED. ON THE WAY I STOPPED AND FILLED THE GAS TANK. AFTERWARDS EVERY STOP SIGN I CAME TO THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT. IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP BUT CONTINUED TO STALL AT EVERY STOP SIGN. THE MECHANIC AT REDDING TRUCK & AUTO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SENSOR WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE. IT RAN FINE UNTIL I FILLED THE GAS TANK AGAIN AND STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH IT STALLING OUT. SO NOW IF I FILL THE TANK IT WILL STALL OUT UNTIL I DRIVE IT FOR SEVERAL MILES OR UNTIL I RUN SOME OF THE GAS OUT OF THE TANK. I WAS TOLD NOT TO FILL THE TANK WHICH IS NOT A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 FORD RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL, THE FUEL FAILED TO PROPERLY DISPENSE INTO THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. UPDATED 3/13/15*CN UPDATED 9/18/2017*CN

JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO OWNS A DODGE,I WENT TO FUEL UP THE TRUCK AND IT WENT ALL OVER THE GROUND RATHER THAN IN THE TANK...TOOK IT TO THE DEALER...CHECK VALVE BAD...NEED NEW TANK....NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN.. *TR

WHILE FILLING TANK FUEL KICKS BACK SHUTTING OFF PUMP HANDLE. APPARENT ORVR VALVE PROBLEM REQUIRING ENTIRE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT. SEEMS TO BE FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM ON DODGE TRUCKS. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK FULL, ENGINE DIES WHEN BRAKING AND TURNING A CORNER (LOSING STEERING) AND COMING TO A STOP. STARTS BACK UP FINE, BUT STALLS AGAIN ON NEXT LOW SPEED BRAKING OR TURNING A CORNER. VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER ACCOUNTS THAT I HAVE READ. I'VE HAD NEW PLUGS AND O2 SENSORS COSTING MUCHO FOR ZERO RESULT. WHEN THIS OCCURS SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A SLOW TURN, I HAVE TO THROW IT UP TO NEUTRAL TO RESTART. ONCE I THREW IT IN PARK GOING SLOWLY, BUT IT WAS DANGEROUS TO SCREECH TO A HALT WITH A CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED ME. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE SAME CRAP BY DEALERS ABOUT THIS AND I KNOW THEY ARE PLAYING DUMB. THE ONLY REMEDY THAT I USE FOR THIS IS SIMILAR TO OTHERS WHICH IS JUST DON'T FILL IT ALL THE WAY UP UNLESS YOU ARE GETTING RIGHT OUT ON THE...

I HAVE TWO ISSUES WHICH I BELIEVE ARE RELATED. THE ANTI ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK IS STICKING PREVENTING FUEL FROM ENTERING THE TANK PROPERLY AND BUBBLING BACK UP THE FILLER TUBE. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER YOU ATTEMPT TO PUT IN FUEL AND HAS RESULTED IN MULTIPLE FUEL SPILLS. THE SECOND ISSUE IS AFTER A FILL UP THE TRUCK MAY STALL 4-5 TIMES WHILE AT IDLE AT STOP LIGHTS OR EVEN WHILE ROLLING RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES AND NO ADVANCED WARNING. BOTH ISSUES HAVE MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES. I REPAIRED MY FUEL TANK BY ADDING AN AUXILIARY ANTI-ROLLOVER VALVE AND PLUMBING IT INTO THE EXISTING EVAP CONNECTIONS. THIS AFTER THE DEALER REFUSED TO WARRANTY THE TANK EVEN THOUGH SOME MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND THIS DOES HAVE A BULLETIN PUBLISHED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, THE SHUT-OFF VALVE ENGAGED BEFORE THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. *TR

DODGE 1500 STALLS AT SLOWING DOWN. SAME PROBLEM AS REPORTED IN MULTIPLE POSTINGS HERE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 WHILE TURNING AT APPROX 5 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR STALLED OUT THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS. THERE IS NO CODE AND SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS DON T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO FIX AND JUST WANT TO START REPLACING PARTS. *TR

ATTEMPTED TO FILL MY GAS TANK. THE FUEL KEPT OVERFLOWING. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET $15 IN GAS AS I HAD TO SLOWLY PUMP, WAIT FOR THE OVERFLOW OF GAS TO STOP, THEN SLOWLY ATTEMPT TO ADD MORE GASOLINE. THIS TOOK ALMOST 15 MINUTES. THE ONLY REASON I KEPT TRYING TO GET MORE GAS IN WAS THE TRUCK WAS ON EMPTY. IN REVIEWING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE, REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WITH THIS VEHICLE, THE SYMPTOMS ARE THAT OF A FAULTY ONBOARD REFUELING RECOVERY VALVE. THIS PROBLEM CREATES MANY HAZARDS WITH FUEL AND VAPORS NOT BEING CONTAINED. *TR

I BOUGHT AN 04 RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI THAT HAD AROUND 80K MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT IN OCT 2010. IT WAS AWESOME THE FIRST AND A HALF I HAD IT, ONLY MINOR REPAIRS I.E BATTERY, IDLER PULLEY, IGNITION SWITCH. I DID REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON IT AS WELL AS OIL CHANGES. IN LATE MARCH 2012 I WENT TO PUT GAS IN MY TRUCK AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME PUT MORE THAN 10 OR 15 CENTS IN BEFORE IT WOULD "BACK FILL" I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE WITH THAT, THEN IN EARLY APRIL 2012 I WAS DRIVING HOME AFTER RUNNING SOME ERRANDS, THE TRUCK HAD RUN GREAT ALL DAY JUST LIKE NORMAL, BUT ABOUT 8 MILES FROM HOUSE I HEAR THIS "THUNK" AND I HAVE NO POWER AND I HAD THIS AWFUL SHAKING AND RATTLING NOISE. THERE WERE NOT EVEN ANY WARNING...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EMITTED A STRONG FUEL ODOR. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE FUEL TANK LEAKED FUEL WHEN IT WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED ON ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
