Typical fuel system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the DEF system failing to recognize a full tank, forcing the truck into a low-speed limp mode as slow as 5 mph.
  • Some describe the engine cutting off unexpectedly while driving in stop-and-go traffic, with no way to shift into neutral because of the electronic shifter.
  • Several report a fuel smell in the cab followed by visible fuel leaking or draining from underneath the truck while driving.
  • Owners describe sudden, rapid deceleration or reduced-power warnings while driving at highway speeds, sometimes tied to fuel rail or fuel control module failures.
  • Some report fuel pump failures that left the vehicle stranded, along with fuel injector misfiring codes on specific cylinders.
  • One owner reported the truck shutting off without warning on a hill with poor visibility, later diagnosed as a fuel control module replacement.
