Had to replace the turbo actuator for $3549.18. This is a 2013 with ongoing recalls. I should not have to pay for a large ticket item with a truck this age.

Noticed a faint scent of diesel coming from the truck, yet did not see any leaks on the pavement. Drove truck approximately 25 miles and noticed leaking fuel on the pavement. Looked from under the engine compartment and from the hood area at the fuel filter area - starts the engine and diesel fuel shot out like a sprinkler system.

Dead pedal issue when accelerating then momentarily letting of throttle and reapplying throttle, there's a 2-3 second delayed response. I've taken it to the dealer and they don't seem to know what's causing it.

My 2013 ram 2500 has a cracked fuel filler neck due to a poor design, being a weak plastic material. The plastic neck has cracked by the fuel pump nozzle seating down on it and plastic from the neck has gone down into my fuel tank contaminating the fuel system causing a possible fuel system clog and shut down of the vehicle. Also concerned that fuel may possibly drip down the exterior of the fuel neck assembly. The…

When driving this vehicle there is a very strong smell of diesel in the cab and coming from the ventilation system when stopping. The fuming is very strong and extremely worrying. I have been sickened during these fuming events. The smell is not unlike charcoal lighter fluid vaporizing but not igniting. I believe that these fumes are deleterious to health and pose a serious danger to public safety. The common…

P65 recall on this vehicle - the notice indicates that parts are not available, but potential adverse affects include fire. We have not been driving it as a result, and chrysler is unable to give us a date for when parts will be available. While they did say that no adverse events of any kind have occurred this obviously does not satisfy my family. *tr

From a stop, the vehicle will not accelerate properly. When depressing the gas pedal it takes a few seconds for the vehicle to respond. When letting off the gas, the throttle does not respond for about two seconds. There is a severe response in the throttle from when depressing the gas pedal to when the vehicle actually starts to move. This has almost caused several accidents because i am trying to switch lanes or…

Vehicle exhibits an accelerator 'dead pedal' problem. When pulling out into traffic, or slowing then accelerating, if one lifts the throttle then reapplies the throttle quickly, the truck does not respond for several seconds. In heavy traffic, this can create (and has created) a potentially dangerous situation. This has been an ongoing problem that the dealer has been unable to resolve. *tr
