2015 Ram 1500 FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

After few hours of research I found a part number to order replacement fuel filter required for use from Recall 22v-406. After passed onto by FCA and reaching out to Mopar who passed me onto local dealer and research on various forums I found a part number 68632011AA for the fuel filter so I thought. I contacted dealer and was told no filter is available and no date when it will be available, so back to research to find part number CSSMZ462AA-001 in the recall listed, I tried to order online but was told to contact local dealer and they confirmed the number good and placed order. I received the part today to find filter and housing cap. the filter resembles previous filters used but does not have any MOPAR stamp on it says made in China but box is labeled MOPAR and says made in Korea. the date on box is 12/15/2023. Is an aftermarket filter being packaged as OEM filter for a recall?

After having recall 22v-406 completed on November 24,2024 I am nearing time to complete a fuel filter change which after having this recall completed specifies a particular part number requirement and this fuel filter pn 68632011AA is not available anywhere, so now I am at risk for my filter getting clogged and my vehicle stalling and if a gas station gets gasoline put in the diesel tank and it gets put in my truck I cannot use my truck until the systems is drained, clean and filter replaced. Call any MOPAR dealer and ask for that part number and they will tell you not available and no timeline for it to be available.

Gas tank straps corroded and broke off, causing gas tank to drop down off truck. Repair garage noticed and caught before caused a fire/accident.

Failing fuel pump

On Friday, August 15, 2025, while leaving a grocery store, my wife pointed out that a part was hanging under my truck. After checking, I noticed that it was one of the two straps that supports the gas tank. It had dropped 3 inches from its original location and was only supported by one strap (the rear one). I temporarily attached the tank with a strap to secure it. At home, I checked the cause of this damage. I noticed that the area (the spacer on the frame, which has a "T"-shaped notch) where the tank strap is held (the end of the strap is "T"-shaped) is rotten, and the end of the strap has passed through. I didn't check the other attachment, but it could have the same problem because it's the same design. This part of the spacer is welded to the frame tightly and fills with dirt and water, causing corrosion.

While driving, I suddenly heard a loud metal on metal grinding noise. After getting off the road, other drivers stopped to report that there was a large "shower of sparks" coming from beneath my vehicle. Upon further inspection, I found that the forward fuel tank strap frame mount had completely corroded through. This resulted in the tank strap dislodging, and the front end of the fuel tank falling to just a few inches from the road. Meanwhile, the tank pushed the metal fuel strap against the vehicle's main drive shift, grinding away at the drive shaft like a metal lathe and creating the large shower of sparks directly next to the fuel tank. This was a known defect in the 2008 to 2012 models of this same truck that was the subject of recall. However, for my 2015 truck it is merely a "service bulletin" for the identical defect.

The check engine light has been on and the code and a message of fuel sender unit failure is on the message being displayed. The vehicle always shows empty even when filled. I never know if the the car is going to run out of fuel while I'm diving it on the road or highway. I have to keep very good records to estimate how many miles I'll get before needing to refill. I've seen recalls from other car makers for the same problem.

On July 2, 2021 my 2015 ecodiesel was given a software flash due to recall W58. This recall deals with the delamination of the tone wheel/CSPS and makes the vehicle rapidly lose acceleration. Instead of being an actual fix, the software simply put a band aid on the issue, by rerouting the tone wheel and sending to a different sensor. On [XXX] it was raining and when I tried to accelerate while in heavy city traffic, the truck lost acceleration rapidly and flashed service electronic throttle control and went into limp mode. I narrowly avoided being in a collision and limped the truck to a medical center parking lot (Koke Mill Medical in Springfield, IL). The truck wouldn't stay running and it wouldn't restart without great difficulty. I was able to limp it to a repair shop (Ruggless Automotive 3417 Constitution Dr, Springfield IL 62711 (217) 787-5484) I have a scanner and I scanned the truck and got code P0336 crankshaft position sensor. Ruggless Automotive ALSO got that code and got code P26AB (yet another recall issue with the EGR cooler recall VB1) Ruggless advised waiting for parts. Talked to Green Dodge about the issues, they didn't want to fix because out of warranty. I contacted FCA/Stellantis. I was given a case [XXX] and told to take to dealership for diagnostics and if diagnostics showed it was to do with the recall issues, that FCA would pay for repairs. Truck was towed BY ME to dealership July 3rd. Green Dodge called me and said they couldn't do any diagnostics because supposedly the battery was dead/bad/unable to be jump started. They tried to make me purchase a new battery from them or else they wouldn't do the diagnostics I need for FCA.

Fuel sensor failure warning w/ accompanying check engine light. Fuel gauge non-functional. I ran code on it (forget the exact code) but YouTube mechanic showed how to fix by changing out the Fuel Sensor, which I did. Engine light went away. Been fine for a month and a half. It's now back to doing it again. Fuel Sensor Failure. I can't keep replacing these things, we're on a tight budget. I don't want to run out of gas somewhere due to not knowing how much I have.

I looked under the truck before a long trip and found a gas tank strap hanging oddly. Upon looking further into discovered the mount has rusted through. Doing some online research I have found this is a fairly common issue.

Fuel Tank strap (Front) disconnected from the frame slot it is attached to. The frame slot is completely rusted out. This was a recall on earlier models and amended to include other years including my year (2015). Yet it does not come up as a recall for my vehicle. I've seen online that this is a common problem with the Ram 1500. Vehicle mileage is 50,575.

My truck has an issue with reading how much gas is in the truck. When I fill it up it goes to full but after about 40 miles it shows empty and the check engine light comes on. The vehicle has about 66500 miles on it. Talked to the dealer and was told it is a common problem with this vehicle.

Safety recall 22V-406 was issued over two years ago, on 6-9-2022. The manufacturer is negligent, in that it has not addressed the problem and repaired the vehicle in a timely manner. The local dealer indicates they have no idea when the manufacturer will attempt to address the problem.

The HPFP failed 9/15/23 in my ecodiesel traveling down the freeway in three lane traffic. I lost all acceleration , power. no brakes or power steering, I was nearly killed by several semi's because I lost all speed. It nearly caused a massive accident potentially killing me and several others in the process. I had seconds to react it left me traumatized from the event. I had to call a tow truck- which cost me $300- They left me stranded at the dealership in a different state hours from home with nothing. I was without my truck for a week. It was then taken back to my homestate and taken to a local dealership- in which they had it for a few weeks and said it was a dirty radiator filter charging $240 . I had my truck back for 4 days before it started doing the same exact thing and had to be taken back to the dealership. They then admitted it was the recall after all and said I was not allowed to remove it off the property but there was no fix. I was not given a loaner vehicle- I was not helped in any way- My truck is my own vehicle- Im a single female that commuted back and forth to work an hour away from home. They had my truck for 13 weeks- in which they said they did a work around - within 5 minutes of taking it- lost acceleration again, hesitating, multiple issues. Tried to get it back to the dealership- drove it a few times and again multiple issues- hesitations, no acceleration. Was in route to take it back to another diesel mechanic and it completely died and had to have it towed again which was another $500. The next day they said they couldn't fix it and it had to be put on a trailer and taken back over to the other dealership. They DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE!!!! They keep charging all this money- and my truck is still unsafe!!! I lost my job because of it. I have received zero help and absolutely no compensation. That truck is going to kill me or someone else in the process.

There is a safety recall on this vehicle, recall number 22V-406, issued in June 2022, which still has no remedy. We are concerned about the safety of this vehicle and my wife has had many instances where she was trying to accelerate into traffic, and the vehicle stalled. This has been an ongoing issue, and we are afraid one day this will lead to an accident. I believe 2 years is more than enough time for a remedy to this to have been found. I have spoken to the service department at my local Ram dealership, and all they tell me is that the parts are not available. This is unacceptable, and we need this resolved.

Fuel pump gauge not working. Fuel Gauge has failed to acknowledge any gas. It came on and off for a few days now for 2 days straight it stays on with a low fuel level and the gauge read zero.

The dealership and Ram are refusing to fix my fuel pump because it’s older than 2020. They are saying they’re doing it by newer to older vehicles. I’ve been tryin to get my truck fixed as the pump is making squeals and tapping. I’m afraid of the damage it’s causing my engine and don’t understand why they can’t fix it when they have the parts.

The reason for the submission is regarding the unresolved safety recall, NHTSA Recall Number22V-406. Recall StatusRecall Incomplete, remedy not yet available Summary Some 2014-2020 MY Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with a 3.0L diesel engine may have been built with a high pressure fuel pump ("HPFP") that could fail prematurely. A HPFP failure may introduce internally failed component debris into the fuel system potentially causing fuel starvation. Safety Risk Fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause a vehicle to crash without prior warning.

On August 27, 2023, on my home my 2015 RAM 1500 Eco Diesel lost all power at 70 mph and the "Electronic Throttle Control" light came on. I was able to get my truck home in "limp mode" and had it towed to the dealership the next day (August 28, 2023). Two weeks later, the dealership called and said that my truck had "fuel contamination" because there were "shavings and rust" in my fuel filter housing and it would cost $21k to replace the entire fuel system. I asked for a more thorough diagnostic because there is the open recall (Z46) on the vehicle related to the high-pressure fuel pump that will leave debris in the system. They then claimed that a "Stalantis engineer" looked at it and put a restriction on the vehicle to not be covered under recall warranty due to "fuel contamination." I asked for a detailed diagnostic report which they could not provide. I then filed a claim through Stalantis and went through a 2-month process and 4 different case managers who ultimately claimed that they couldn't cover it because of the fuel contamination restriction. So, I then filed an insurance claim who did their own investigation, including collecting a fuel sample from the truck tank, investigating the last fuel station I used, and interviewing the dealership. They concluded that the issue was due to the recall (specifically, the fuel pump leaving debris in my fuel system) and was NOT external fuel contamination. They also claimed that the dealership would not provide a diagnostic report. Consequently, this could not be covered as an insurance claim and should be covered under vehicle warranty. All that said, I have no other option but to file this complaint as Stalantis has not been willing to even consider covering the vehicle despite the open recall, and an independent investigation. It is also my understanding that there is no approved fix for this recall, however I've been without a vehicle or a path forward for 3-months and feel Stalantis owes its customers a solution.

COMPONENT: FRONT FUEL TANK STRAP FRAME "T-SLOT" BRACKET CORRODED TO THE POINT WHERE METAL WON'T HOLD THE LOAD OF THE FUEL TANK AND FRONT FUEL TANK STRAP IS DETACHED CAUSING THE FUEL TANK TO DROP. SAFETY CONCERNS: IF THE FUEL TANK WERE TO DROP AND CONTACT THE GROUND, THE FUEL TANK MAY DETACH FROM THE VEHICLE CAUSING ENGINE STALL, AND IN THE EVENT OF CRASH, THE FUEL TANK MAY NOT REMAIN SECURED TO THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY CAUSING A FUEL LEAK, FUEL LEAK INCREASE THE RISK OF A FIRE. THIS PROBLEM WAS DOCUMENTET ON RECALL # 18V160000 AND MY VEHICLE HAS EXACT CONDITION (CORROSION CAUSES FUEL TANK STRAP FRAME BRACKET TO BREAK ALLOWING FUEL TANK TO DROP) BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VEHICLE IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL. NO INSPECTION BY OFFICIAL AUTHORITIES WAS PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AS OF THIS TIME - AT THE SAM TIME I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO DRIE THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. THIS OCCURED RECENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGNS.

Took my truck in for engine light. Was told unfixable recall and they can’t give me vehicle back. That vehicle is my life. Without it I am unable to do what I need to do.

High pressure fuel pump may fail prematurely. Recall dated June 9, 2022 and after more than a year there is still no remedy.

Filing a complaint because this recall has been open for over a year with no remedy available.

Front Strap on gas tank failed while driving. Gas tank almost fell out and 2nd strap getting ready to fail. Completely pulled out of the frame. Also damaged drive shaft from strap rubbing into the metal.

The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving up an incline at various speeds, the vehicle would jerk and hesitate as the shift to park(P) warning message appeared on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the vehicle would stall upon the depression of the accelerator pedal. Over time, the failure worsened as the vehicle would fail to accelerate above 35 MPH. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V406000(Fuel System, Diesel) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. Two dealers(Ourisman Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram,12430 Auto Drive, Clarksville, MD 21029 and Antwerpen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 6440 Baltimore National Pike, Catonsville, MD 21228) were both contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000. VIN tool confirms parts not yet available.
