I have received various recall notices on this vehicle which i would like someone to look into this to see if this car qualifies as a lemon. These items have been fixed by the different dealer ships, but have more than 5 recalls is a bit too much.

Fuel/Propulsion System · Power Train · Service Brakes
When coming to a stop, vehicle fuel shifts in tank forcing vehicle unexpectedly forward under braking. If unprepared for the shift, which only happens under braking when the truck downshifts, the truck will overpower the currently applied brakes taking more time to stop. This can result in a collision with a stopped vehicle or object if the driver does not apply harder braking.

Takata inflator failed when in a front end crash due to a drunk driver at 45mph. Drunk driver hit car in front of me and i swerved to the left and t-boned drunk driver on passenger side door causing him to spin around and slam into driver side of bed. With this kind of impact air bags should have deployed and fuel cut off should have engaged, but nothing happened.

Squeezed the pump nozzle again, like i have always done to round out the dollar amount, and fuel gurgled out of the filler neck and ran down the side of the truck. Several people have stated that this has happened to them also on various year rams and they just got used to not squeezing…
