drb227 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I agree and I have said as much a few posts back. The "fix" did nothing to fix my inaccurate fuel gauge. In fact, it might actually be worse now than it was before the fix. I can drive around with the needle on the E for an entire day and still not be able to put more than 65 litres in the tank. When I really fill it up, the gauge will sometimes go past the F but it drops to 7/8 really quickly, like after 25 kms or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 DodgeCares, So what is going to happen now that the TSB doesn't seem to fix the issue? Will there be a new TSB coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I just did some checking on my fuelly, in my case the most fuel I have ever put in was 76.36 liters and I have put over 76 liters 5 times, but unfortunately they were such a long time ago so I can't remember anything about the fillups. Fortunately I have not had the problem that others have described. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Like I posted earlier, one of my fuel problems is the gauge registering on E too soon. The other annoyance (can't call it a problem per se) is that the gas pumps click off too soon when filling. I commonly spend upwards of 5 minutes repeatedly clicking the pump while I get another 1-2 US gallons in the tank. Freakin' annoying! I wish Dodge would design a TSB that addresses these two problems. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackout Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Hey Everyone, Hows it going? I bought a brand new 2013 dodge journey rt 3.6L V6 really love driving it very nice ride got the journey with a full tank of gas and it was reading past the FULL sign a week later had to go fill it up and the gas guage wont read past the FULL sign like it did when I bought it...Took it to the dealer they said its probably fuel pump...So they replaced it guess what same thing...I go back and they checked everything and said everything is fine! I know im not losing my mind its just getting frustrating explaining over and over to them my issue. Before it would @ least get on the DTE 636km before E now im only showing 574km before E Ive tried the slow fill up everything nothing matters same issue occurs.. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Welcome to the forum. The questionably accurate EVIC mileage readings are often a subject here, one factor this time of year is the change over of fuel formulation from warm wx to winter gas it does decrease your averaging of mpg/L per 100km. The algorithm that computes these figures does not factor the above. Remember your driving AWD not FWD version so you have to compare apples to apples when reading other peoples gas consumption. The fuel gauge question has been flogged to death here and there are some that seem to be resolved and others not,mine varies from fill to fill and really I have got past it after 2 years of ownership and always fill to 1st click off of pump.

Blackout Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Guys I dont get this this morning it says 490km till E for my DTE I warm up car for 5 min and it drops down to 470km to E its weird I dont get it? Is it a problem with the float in the sending unit? Im confused anyone have this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Journeyman425 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 For those five minutes, the car is achieving zero l/100km (0 mpg) which brings down your overall average. The remaining km/e value is based upon the overall average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtsr Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) As Journeyman425 states "if you ain't moving and burning gas it throws ratio out of wack". Warming up the car is nice if your climate requires it but todays engines really don't need it, it's we humans that need it.

If there is a future fix or TSB that comes out I will post it up. DodgeCares, Any Progress? I just signed up on this forum today, but I've owned my 2011 Journey since April, 2012. I see that the responses have slowed down, so either TSB 08-063-12 is fixing the issues, or there is some other fix, or everyone's given up. I'd like to get this fixed soon so I don't have to go to the gas station as often. I'm thinking of setting up an appointment with a dealership soon, so I'd like the latest info.

I had the TSB done about 6 months ago...didn't fix anything for me. The replaced the entire fuel pump assembly, and the first tank went up to full. After that, everytime I fill up, the pump clicks off at 7/8 tank. If I try to top it off very slowly I can get slightly above 7/8 (about 1/2 gallon more in). I can never get to full. The TSB "fix" was a joke...don't bother wasting your time at the dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You actually got them to replace the fuel pump assembly because it wouldn't reach to full? Was that difficult to get the dealer to do that or did they suggest doing that? I would say that all dealers in my neck of the woods would not replace it unless the fuel pump is totally dead and your vehicle was towed to the dealership. If you got that done then congrats you have an awesome dealership and I am so jealous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camper Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 ""Posted 11 December 2012 - 03:23 PM Just came back from the my dealership,they replaced: fuel sending module.looks like it start fill normally. I will monitor for re-fueling for next few weeks an will report back if this was fixed issue with fuel level. The technician re-fill the gas tank and don`t reported any issue after module is change. "" I post above information a year ago, now the problem is returned. Can`t get past full tank mark and to get completely full, have to continue to go very slowly, to get full tank. In winter time is not the fun to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but I thought it was the whole fuel pump assembly. Doesn't matter though since it didn't fix a darn thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
znewman Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm not finding anything new (after the Service Bulletin TSB 08-063-12.) DodgeCares, I ended up having them perform the service described by the TSB, but no fix. My DTE shows 325 at 19.5mpg which equates to 16.7gallons. Once it reaches 50miles left the gas light turns on, and then shortly wont give any DTE reading. The light came on again today and allowed me to only put 14.5 gallons in (still not to F). On a 20.5 gallon tank, that means that I have 6 gallons of "reserve". Squeezing in another half gallon isn't a good fix as it's my understanding that it will just sit in the Evap Canister. This seems to be a sensor/gauge issue, and not an actual Fuel Pump issue. If you're not finding anything else on this, does this mean that everyone still experiencing this issue is just out of luck? Is there any way to get this issued reported as not fixed and re-open the concern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Reading this topic is like beating a dead horse, no matter how much you beat him he is still dead and he isnt going no more. Give it up guys full means full ,whether you can add anthother .5 to 1 gal is NOT a big deal, also running your tank as low as you can get it is also bad for your fuel pump, just like over filling it is bad for the evap. system, so when it clicks off stop trying to get more in and be happy, life is to short to sweat the little things in life. Any ways Merry Chrismas and a happy New year to all..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
