A turtle could out run the vehicle. It takes…

Fiat chrysler (fca) recently settled a class action lawsuit affecting my ram ecodiesel truck. After that settlement, i was required to get a software flash called the "approved emissions modificatoin" (aem). After receiving that software "fix", my truck drives notably different and is now very dangerous due to the huge drop in power and increase in turbo lag. Especially when the engine is cold or not completely up…

The check engine light is on in many dodge ram 1500 pickup trucks. Indicating there is a fuel sensor problem. If you use the remote start the engine it automatically shuts down within 15 seconds as if you have no fuel. Dealerships are charging $1,000.00 to fix a widespread manufacturing issue. Fuel gauge drops to empty when driving when tank is full and then returns to correct reading.

2015 ram 1500 with 55,555 miles. The fuel sensor fail (p0463). This occurred first while driving 55mph with just over 3/4 tank. Then again a few miles later. It now shows 'fuel sensor fail' any time under 3/4 of a tank. But works when at a full tank. I now must use my trip mileage to estimate when my fuel is low. I'm glad i got the extended warranty!

The fuel sensor goes out. It seems fca knows of this but not doing much to fixing it. Complaints on utube also. It won't start in self-starting, fuel gauge stays on empty, and maintains a engine problem. Can run out of gas on the highway if not fixed. Can cost up $1000.00. It happened at 36, 499, just over the warranty.

Am getting a p203e error message. Took it to dealer. There is a defective level sensor located inside the tank. Problem is its a sealed tank with no access only way to fix is to replace the entire tank, pump and sensor. Very bad design flaw. $2600 to replace. Message is saying engine will fail to start after 500 miles. The def pump is working correctly but the engine thinks its almost empty.
