What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge ram 1500. While adding fuel to the vehicle, fuel spewed from the recovery unit. The contact sustained blisters to the hands and legs, which did not require medical attention. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (mcpeek's dodge of anaheim, 1221 s auto center dr, anaheim, ca 92806) where it was diagnosed that the filler pipe and/or tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and opened case number: [xxx].
After filling up with fuel on serval different occasions the truck will shut off with no warning lights or service lights. This causes the power steering and everything to stop. When at a stop sign it can be started safely from park or neutral but when moving it has to be put in neutral to re start because the brake system does not work good either. It has happened at stop sign and stop light as well as driving down the road at 55 MPH
