brandon_will9: They have about replaced everything they can on my truck that can be. I'd tell the dealer to replace the fuel tank as that has seemed to correct my problem so far. They had a couple of factory reps out and they determined the tank was deformed in the area where the fuel pump and float sit. So far the fix is working on our truck. We will know when we get to a half a tank again. The wife just drives to and from work about 10 miles per day so it takes awhile to use up the gas. I will keep you all posted as to this last fix. Later RJD

Dakota fuel guage issue
Mine has failed for the fourth time! I have had it in for work on three occasions over the past year; each time it would work fine for a few months and then it would fail again. I am giving them one last chance and then I will try to get them to buy it back from me under the lemon law. No telling how that will go.

I had my 2011 Dakota in for service for the fourth time for the intermittent fuel gauge problem. They took the gas tank off and found two 5" O-rings loose in there. They said that they were floating around in my gas and causing the intermittent failure of the gauge. They surmised that they had been accidentally put in there during production, presumably by a robot. Hope this helps others with the same problem.

Dealer finally replaced tank on my 2011 Dakota after multiple repair attempts and happy to report it is fixed! Told dealer about problems everyone was having on forum and things being replaced multiple times just like dealer was trying on mine. Dealer replaced tank and that fixed it! Finally! Tell your dealer this is the fix! Thanks to the forum!
