2017 Ram 1500 Complaint Log

AS SOON AS I HIT OVER 36,000 MILES, I BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH DOOR LOCKS. SOME DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK. SOMETIMES THEY ALL WORK FINE. IT IS VERY RANDOM. USING THE KEY FOB AND POWER LOCK BUTTON IN CAR IS WORKING RANDOMLY. I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY YEARS.

MULTIPLE EPISODES OF VEHICLE CODES DISABLING TRUCK, ALL RELATED TO 'SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL' MESSAGE. THIS HAS CAUSED LOSS OFF POWER WITH VEHICLE STALLING ON MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY, MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. OTHER TIMES VEHICLE HAS SCARY DELAY IN THROTTLE RESPONSE CAUSING NERVE WRACKING MOMENTS TRYING TO MERGE OR OPERATE VEHICLE SAFELY. VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW, PROBLEMS BEGAN WITH ONLY 1500 MILES ON VEHICLE. FOUR TIMES TO DEALER FOR SERVICE HASN'T RESOLVED ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500.

THE FIRE TRUCK ARRIVED WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS EXCEPT THE BED.

AT APPROXIMATELY 6100 MILES NOTED ENGINE TICKING NOISE ONLY ON COLD START UP. TOOK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY FOUND A NUMBER OF BROKEN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS (THEY REPLACED 9 OF THEM). ACCORDING TO DODGE FORUMS AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THIS APPARENTLY IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH RAM SEMI ENGINES.

TAKATA INFLATOR WAS HIT IN THE SIDE, NO AIRBAG THEN TRUCK ROLLED ON SIDE NO AIRBAG WHEN THEY ROLLED TRUCK BACK OVER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED *DSY

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THE HIT. THE IMPACT WAS ON DRIVERS SIDE TO MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK AND PER DODGE THERE WAS A DRIVERS SIDE FAULT CODE FOR THE LEFT SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR. THIS WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THEM WHILE IT WAS AT THE SHOP AFTER INFORMING THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I WAS SENT HOME WITH NO EXPLANATION OF WHAT WAS WRONG WITH AIR BAGS. THEY SEEN THE PICTURES OF ACCIDENT AND STATED THEY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. PER CHRYSLER THEY SAID TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND PAY THE FEE. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK AFTER ACCIDENTS AND AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYING. I HAD THE ORC RECALL DONE AND THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER ISSUE WITH THE AIR BAGS THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND THE REPLACED THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ALONG WITH COMPUTER. THIS TRUCK IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING MUCH TO ACCEPT LIABILITY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE "DEATH WOBBLE" AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE MORE THAN 60 MPH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAZDA OF MESQUITE (LOCATED AT 15900 LYNDON B JOHNSON FWY, MESQUITE, TX 75150, (972) 686-6200), BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

SLUGGISH TURBO, THEN FLASHES THROTTLE CABLE, ENGINE LIGHT, LIGHTNING BOLT LIGHT CAME ON, THEM TOTAL LOSS OF SPEED AND POWER. THE SLUGGISH TURBO HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND THIS ALL HAPPENED WHILE LEAVING OUT CHURCH PARKING LOT HEADING HOME. IT IS AT SETH WADLEYS IN PAULS VALLEY, OK AS I TYPE THIS AWAITING IF MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL PAY FOR THIS! WAS TOLD THIS WAS IS A ISSUE WITH THE ECO DIESELS AND A RECALL WAS JUST SENT OUT FOR MODELS UP TO '16. LEAVING MY '17 WITH THE SAME ISSUE OUT!

I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERIES IN BOTH KEY SETS. WHEN YOU HIT THE BUTTON TO UNLOCK THE DOORS ONLY THE DRIVER DOOR UNLOCKS. YOU NOW HAVE TO HAVE A KEY IN THE IGNITION BEFORE THE OTHER DOORS WILL UNLOCKED INCLUDING THE TAILGATE.

The contact owns a 2017 Ram 1500. The contact stated while attempting to exceed speeds above 25 mph, the vehicle jerked with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that speed increased after a moment with a hard jerk with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic located a transmission fault code. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The diagnostic report was not provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 25,000.

FUEL SENSOR FAIL, ONCE FUEL GETS TO JUST BELOW HALF A TANK, THE FUEL SENSOR FAILS AMD GAS GUAGE DROPS TO EMPTY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, ALSO THE ECO SUSTEM WILL FAIL FOR FUEL SAVINGS. I FEAR THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE IT WILL THINK IT HAS NO FUEL. I HAVE RESEARCHED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE ON LINE. ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 4/15/19. MILAGE ON TRUCK IS 46000. MILEAGE IS SAME AS PREVOIUS COMPLAINTS FOR SAME ISSUE.

24 HOURS AFTER PURCHASE (200 MILES DRIVEN) A CHEMICAL ODOR AND IRRITANT FILLS THE CANE, MY 6 YEAR OLD STATED THE AIR HAS PEPPER IN IT. THE ISSUE WORSENED WHEN OPERATING THE HEAT/AC FUNCTION CAUSING EYES TO BURN, HEADACHE AND DISORIENTATION. MANY OWNERS ON PUBLIC FORUM HAVE NOTED SAME ISSUE AND COMMONLY MENTION THE CAUSE TO BE A REACTION OF FAULTY MANUFACTURED COOLANT HOSE BEING DISSOLVED BY THE COOLANT. CHRYSLER AND DEALERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED AS CONTINUOUS EXPOSURE OF TOXIC FUMES GREATLY INCREASES RISK OF CRASH. NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

ON A 2 LANE RURAL ROAD OUR FRONT HIT THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF US. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY SPEED WAS BETWEEN 30-40 MPH AT POINT OF IMPACT.

VEHICLE WILL START AND REV UP HIGH AND THEN IMMEDIATELY SHUTDOWN OR WILL BE DRIVING AND VEHICLE WILL SHUT DOWN AND LOCK EVERYTHING UP CAUSING VEHICLE TO SLIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS SENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED BUT IS STILL DOING THE SAME THING.

The fuel sending unit failed on several occasions. The vehicle display would indicate low fuel and the gauge would go to full empty. On the third time it displayed I also got a check ending light. Not knowing if the tank was really empty, I filled and it took 11 gallons for a 26 gallon tank. Dealer indicated code P0463 fuel level sensor failure. Online there are lots of complaints of this happening with less than 50k miles. Why hasn't this become a recall? it is not safe to have sensor fail while driving due to distraction. Not to mention an unnecessary expense for the owner. Ram should have corrected this issue long before the 2017 model year.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN COLDER TEMPERATURES THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO (LOCKWOOD MOTORS LOCATED AT 1310 E COLLEGE DR, MARSHALL, MN 56258) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR SUSPENSION PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS DRAINED QUICKLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GRESHAM CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (855 NE BURNSIDE RD, GRESHAM, OR 97030, (503) 743-0444) WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RADIATOR LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON TONKIN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM FIAT (16800 SE MCLOUGHLIN BLVD, MILWAUKIE, OR 97267, (503) 258-5800) FOR A COOLANT FAN REPLACEMENT AND DIAGNOSED THERE WAS A SLOW RADIATOR LEAK.

TRUCK ROLLED DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE 20-30 FEET WHILE IN PARK DRIVER NOT IN VEHICLE AND STRUCK ANOTHER CAR BEHIND IT. VEHICLE STATIONARY, IN FRONT OF 58 PARKER BLVD MONSEY NY 10952. DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF OTHER VEHICLE WITNESSED EVENT. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK AND OFF KEY OUT OF IGNITION OCCURRENCE 03/03/19 830-845 PM. TRUCK SUSTAINED BUMPER DAMAGE CAR SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO THE HOOD.

SUNROOF HAS EXCESSIVE LEAKING. IT SEEMS TO BE DRAINING HOWEVER UNDER PRESSURE OF CAR WASH DROPLETS MAKE IT INTO CABIN OF TRUCK. REAR PASSANGER AND DRIVER SIDE ARE WHERE WATER FLOW IS COMING FROM AND IT SEEMS LIKE SEAL ISN'T TIGHT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TESTED IN CAR WASH IT'S CURRENTLY WINTER AND WE DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO TEST WHAT WOULD HAPPEN DURING RAIN. ALSO HAPPENED ON A FLAT SURFACE STATIONARY

VEHICLE BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY "POPPING" OR "JERKING" WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD HAVE GEAR ISSUES SUCH AS APPEARING TO REMAIN IN 1ST GEAR OR WOULD FAIL TO GO INTO REVERSE. THE POPPING INTO A LOWER GEAR WOULD HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND THUS CAUSED AN IMMEDIATE TRAFFIC SLOWDOWN AND POTENTIAL ACCIDENT SITUATION. ALSO, THE VEHICLE WOULD FAIL TO REVERSE AT TIME AND WOULD ONLY REMEDY ITSELF AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AND OFF AND ALMOST A YEAR AGO, I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER (TALLAHASSEE DODGE) THAT THERE WAS A GEAR RATIO ISSUE. HOWEVER, WHEN I RECEIVED THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER SENSOR HAD A LEAK AND THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION ISSUE (AT 55K MILES). NOW, THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THE SAME INTERMITTENT ISSUES AND I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, NOW THE DEALER STATES THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE ISSUE IS AN INTERNAL TRANSMISSION PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION INSTALLED.

AIR SUSPENSION FAILURE. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT , THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILS AND SITS ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE BUMP STOPS, OR LEANS TO THE LEFT DRAMATICALLY. IT STAYS THAT WAY UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CAN TAKE IT IN, WHICH CAN BE WEEKS.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK BACK ON FEB 20TH OF 2019.THAT IMPACTED THE LOWER REAR C-POST OF MY TRUCK. JUST LAST WEEK AS THE BODY SHOP WAS BEGINNING PREPARATIONS TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE SIDE OF MY 2017 RAM 1500. WHEN THEY CUT OFF THE A/B-POSTS THEY NOTICED THE TRUCK HAD SURFACE RUST IN THE INNER STRUCTURE OF BOTH. RUST THAT SHOULD NOT BE IN THERE. THE C-POST AND ROCKER PANELS WERE COATED ON THE INSIDE BUT NOT THE OTHER TWO. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT AS GOOD AS ACTUALLY LOOKING AT THE ISSUE IN PERSON. THEY ARE REPLACING THAT BUT MAKES ME CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER RAMS AND HONESTLY THE OTHER SIDE OF MY TRUCK. A LOT OF THINGS CAN RUST ON A TRUCK AND YOU WOULD STILL BE CONSIDERED SAFE. THE A/B-POST IS NOT ON THAT LIST IN MY OPINION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE LOT, IT WAS INSPECTED BY REPRESENTATIVES FROM FCA. THE RESULTS OF THE INSPECTION WERE NOT COMPLETED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TIMING COVER OIL LEAK. TIMING COVER LEAKED OIL EVEN AFTER MULTI ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT PROBLEM. THEIR SOLUTION IS TO PUT MORE RTV ON THE TIMING COVER AND REASSEMBLE. DOES NOT FIX PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL. IN THE WINTER MONTHS THERE ARE A HOST OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. AT TIMES, THE RADIO WILL NOT TUTN OFF AFTER I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY FIX WAS YO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE BACKUP CAMERA GOES COMPLETELY GREEN ALSO. THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILS SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK DURING THE WINTER MONTHS AS WELL. I HAVE IT PARKED OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME.

IN TEMPS BELOW ZERO AIR SUSPENSION FAILS

TRIED TO GET RECALLS REPAIRED TOLD NO LOANER DONT DRIVE TRUCK...NO WAY TO GO TO WORK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN THE PARK POSITION, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION ERRONEOUSLY SWITCHED FROM DRIVE INTO PARK, ALTHOUGH THE GEAR SHIFTER REMAINED IN THE DRIVE POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. COURTESY CHRYSLER (2225 E. LINCOLN HWY, COATESVILLE, PA) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

5 DAYS AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND RECALLS... I TOOK THE TRUCK THROUGH AN AUTOMATED CAR WASH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THIS SAME CAR WASH SEVERAL TIMES. I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, AS INSTRUCTED BY THE ATTENDANT. AT THE END OF THE WASH, WHEN THE GREEN LIGHT CAME ON, I PUT IT INTO DRIVE. IT DID NOT MOVE. I TRIED MANY TIMES, BUT WITHOUT SUCCESS. FINALLY THE MANAGER CAME TO HELP ME, AND HE TOO WITNESSED THAT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. WE PUT IT INTO PARK, AND THEN INTO DRIVE, TWO MORE TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY JERKED FORWARD. IN THE MEANTIME, I WAS HIT BY THE TRUCK BEHIND ME, AND SET OFF A CHAIN OF 5 VEHICLES COLLIDING. THE GEAR DIAL SAID I WAS IN DRIVE EACH TIME, BUT CLEARLY, I WAS NOT. I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUES. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.*DT*JB

THE LIFTERS IN MY 3.6 LITER RAM 1500 ARE BAD AT 80000 MILES. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED WITH THIS ENGINE IN 2011-2013 DODGE VEHICLES. DODGE KNOWS THIS IS STILL A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY LOWERED THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY FROM 100000 MILES TO 60000 MILES. THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUES WITH THE 3.6 LITER ENGINE. THEY NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED AND MADE TO MAKE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS.

AIR SUSPENSION WILL STOP WORKING CAUSING THE TRUCK TO RIDE DIRECTLY ON THE FRAME. ALSO, THE FRONT WILL DEFLATE WHILE THE BACK IS STILL INFLATED. ANY TIME THIS HAPPENS THE FUSE FOR THE AIR SUSPENSION IS BLOWN. HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THE TRUCK. OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND NOT IN OPERATION.

DRIVING AT 35 MPH AND HIT BY A CAR TRYING TO PASS MY TRUCK. RAM TRUCK HIT A TREE HEAD ON ROLLED OVER ON DRIVERS SIDE AND FLIPPED TO ROOF. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. *DSY

DURING HEAVY RAIN THE BACK DRIVER SIDE WELL (UNDERNEATH REAR SEAT-STORAGE AREA) FILLS WITH WATER. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW TO DIAGNOSIS THE ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR WINDOW DRAIN HOLES BEING PLUGGED BUT NOT CERTAIN. ONLY A YEAR OLD AND SURPRISED THIS OCCURRED. CHECKED YOUTUBE AND FOUND THIS ISSUE WITH OLDER MODELS OF RAM TRUCKS. ITS TAKEN A ACT OF CONGRESS TO GET DEALER TO SCHEDULE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. WENT TO LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TRIED TO REDIRECT TO A WATER SPECIALIST LOCALLY. THEY WERE AVOIDING THE WARRANTY OR JUST PLAIN LAZY. COME ON DODGE YOU CAN DO BETTER. I HAVE NOTICED THIS FROM THE TRUCK BEING PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOME. I NOW PLACE TOWELS TO CAPTURE WATER ON RAINY DAYS.

INVOLVED IN A MAJOR FRONT END COLLISION. AIRBAGS SEAT BELTS DID NOT DEPLOY. AS PER CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR SHOP, AIR BAG SENSORS NOT OPERATIONAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT STRUCK THE MEDIAN ON THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED.

WHILE AT THE BOAT RAMP, PULLING A BOAT OUT OF THE WATER. THE TRUCK WAS ON AN INCLINE. THE BOAT WAS ABOUT 1200 - 1500 POUNDS TOTAL. THE TRUCK WAS IN PARK, PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. SITTING IN THE CAB WITH THE SEAT BELT ON AND THE DOOR AJAR, PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, AFTER THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED I INCREASED THE RPM SLIGHTLY WITH THE GAS PEDAL AND THEN RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE. THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE NORMAL PROCEDURE THAT PREVENTS THE RIG FROM ROLLING BACKWARD. WHEN I DID THIS AND ADDED MORE THROTTLE THE TRUCK STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THEN QUICKLY DISENGAGED FROM PARK TO N, THE TRUCK STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND THE RPM INCREASED. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE AND STOP. THIS REPEATED SEVERAL TIMES. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FLASHED A WARNING THAT THE TRUCK WAS NOT IN PARK. I BELIEVE THERE IS A FLAW IN THE AUTO PARK FEATURE. IT IS REPEATABLE. INCLINE, DOOR AJAR, BELT ON, FROM PARK TO DRIVE. ON FLAT GROUND I CAN NOT DUPLICATE.

I CAN HAVE A FULL TANK OF GAS AND IT WILL SAY LOW GAS AND THE GAS LIGHT WILL COME ON SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND READ FUEL SENSOR ERROR
