Fuel/Propulsion System
Fuel sensor has an error and reads empty when fuel level is less than 3/4 of a tank. The reading is correct between 3/4 and full but once the level drops below 3/4 it says fuel sensor fail and then reads empty.

Error code p0463: fuel level sensor circuit high input, this means my fuel gauge is experiencing failures and i can not accurately determine how much fuel is in the vehicle. Doing a quick google search, this appears to be a very common issue with the 2014 ram 1500 5.7l. I'm at roughly 68500 mile on my truck so the issue is also out of warranty.

Fuel/Propulsion System
My vehicle lost signal from the fuel level sensor in the gas tank. The sensor now only works when the tank is between full and 3/4 full. It is now unsafe to drive as you don't know how far you can travel before running out of fuel. This is a known issue with this type of vehicle. People could become stranded in a desolate area or under adverse weather conditions and not be able to get help.

At about 49,000 miles the "check engine" light came on. After driving for several days the light would turn off on its own while the engine was off. I thought that it may been the gas cap, so i replaced it. Then, while driving, the "check engine" light turned on again, intermittently while driving. I had it checked by o' reillys and they said it was the fuel system, po463=2 6391451. When i turned on the engine, the…

Fuel pump sensor failed. Replaced the part, bought from the dealership. Installed and worked for two days before the sensor again failed. When the fuel tank is filled the gauge does not sense any fuel in the car. Also the car's computer system fails to tell you which part is in failure- the brake light indicator went on for the passenger side brake light, it was actually the brake light on the cab that was out.

Fuel sensor failure. Gas gauge shows empty all the time. Check engine light is on as well as "fuel sensor failure" light. This is very common in these ram trucks. It happened the first time to me while driving. There was a warning bell, then the fuel sensor failure light came on with the engine light, and then gas gauge dropped to dead empty. Has remained there since

The v08 emission recall has despite what the manufacturer claims decreased my mpg, increased turbo lag, made it unsafe to drive due to literally slower than acceptable throttle response, and daily diesel regeneration. All before this flash to the ecu there where no problems. But since it is a ticking time bomb just waiting for for me to get t-boned at an intersection for the delayed acceleration.

Due to the ecodiesel settlement program, i allowed fca to update the ecm to meet their requirements for the settlement. After the update, my truck is dangerously slow from a standing start. I never know if the truck will accelerate as i merge into traffic. Sometime it is barely adequate but most of the time there is a 2 to 4 second delay before the turbo kicks in (around 2,000 rpm) and then there is a strong turbo…

Ecodiesel-post epa required repairs- turbo lag / delayed acceleration. Up to a two second time delay before vehicle will proceed upon full throttle demand to merge into traffic or from a stop sign or needing to pass a vehicle at highway speeds.. The delay will cause an accident to occur. Prior to the epa repairs, vehicle did not have any turbo lag/acceleration issues. One could accelerate with full, partial or…

Recall for emissions not performed correctly. Engine light comes on all the time. Warning flashes on dash : "engine will not restart in 200 mi service def see dealer." started at 5000 miles and has plagued the truck every since then.

This lag can last anywhere from 2-5 seconds. Additionally, the truck was advertised as 29 mpg on the highway. After the update, i am sitting around 17 mpg. I have lodged a complaint with fca and am still waiting to hear back. This is no longer an…

After having the aem update completed, i lost 5mpg in fuel economy (from 23 mpg combined, to 18 mpg combined), i also am experiencing an incredibly unsafe amount of acceleration lag (4-6 seconds). When pulling into traffic travelling at 40+mph, this lag in acceleration causes me to roll into traffic with no power or ability to accelerate until the engine decides to kick in.this lag in acceleration is the biggest…
