Filled up the new 2010 Laramie Crew for the first time last week.

Fuel filler neck pulled out immediately upon taking the weight of the fuel pump handle. I think this is a safety issue.

Took the truck to closest Dodge dealer a few days later. They inspected and said they had to order parts.

Fast forward to today.
Dropped off the truck, waited a few hours, picked up the truck, inspected the part, looks ok.
Immediately went to a gas station to fill up, and, whoa!, same issue.

Appears the dealer did nothing other than push in the old part and wipe the area.

So, QUESTION:

Does your fuel filler neck look like (or do this when filling up) ?
Is this an issue?

 

Never had mine do that, but I'm not sure why it would be a safety issue. It's not like the hose is pulling out of the bottom of the filler.

Looks a little odd in your picture, the upper right screw doesn't look factory. Might want to take the screws out and see what they attach to (either a plastic plug orr sheet metal)

 

Old Jeep, with the weight of the fuel pump handle, the bezel will actually pull out and down about 2-3 additional inches from the "normal" position.

To an unobservant person (wife, family), the pump could be jolted loose and spill fuel.

I have seen may people start refueling and leave the vehicle unattended.

 

Then if it were me, I'd figure out what is supposed to be holding it in. Or you can waste a few hours at the dealer.

While it shouldn't be doing what you are describing, if you start fueling and leave the vehicle unattended - that makes you the safety problem.

 

I took 2 seconds and ran out and looked at the truck. The plastic piece just snaps into the body. There are about 4 small blocks that wind up behind the sheet metal.

So I'd try this:
1) Push it back in and press the outer edges of the plastic piece out towards the body. Do this all the way around the plastic piece until it is sitting flush. Might also want to run your finger around the piece to see if the blocks broke off.
2) If it keeps popping loose have them order you a new plastic piece.

 

You either have some broken tabs on the black plastic piece surrounding the filler neck or else it just needs to be pushed tightly back in place in the metal opening. It shouldn't move at all.

You have the right color truck though!

mine does the same thing...hasn't bothered me enough to mention it, maybe at the first oil change i will

 

I sure am glad I got an early build 09 seems the mistakes are being made on the newer ones. Yikes.
