We have a 2021 Ram Promaster 1500 Winnebago Pocket Solis. We smelled gasoline while loading up gear for a trip. Upon inspection we saw that gasoline was leaking at the seal of the gas tank. We have taken it to the local Ram dealership that confirmed it is leaking at the cold weld of the gasoline tank. Unfortunately, it is all one piece and the whole tank has to be replaced. $2,400 It is very expensive to replace the whole tank. Our van has only 48k miles on it. It is ridiculous that the tank failed so...

quickly. This is a know facorty defect in the gasoline tanks and it should be warrantied from Ram or recalled with a better design. This failed gasoline tank poses a huge safety concern not only due to fire but also leaking gas vapors into the environment. It should be covered under the Federal Emmisions Waranty. Some states like FL. don't honor that because we don't have emissions programs. We contacted Ram warranty support several times and we were told it was going to be fully covered. When the dealer contacted Ram warranty they deny the liability coverage. We got the run around from Ram. This is so aggravating that Ram is being so negligent about a know significant safety concern and obvious potential fire hazard. This is a bad design of a plastic gasoline tank that eventually will leak at the molded cold weld due to expansion and contraction gas vapors. This whole situation has been a hassle and fight with Ram. We are very disatisfied with the Ram Warranty dept. They basically told us that "sorry you were given wrong information". Not 1x but 2x from agents in the warranty dept. at Ram. So apparently they just lie to owners. Hopefully something is done about this so no one gets hurt or their van catches fire!
