NHTSA Complaint #10325027 — 2007 DODGE RAM 3500

EMISSIONS, CO SENSOR & CARBON FILTER 2007 DODGE DIESEL 6.7 L, APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OF THESE GO THROUGH THE DEALERSHIPS IN UTAH, FIRST THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN TAKE IN TO HAVE IT CHECKED, FIRST TIME IT WAS A CO DETECTOR SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES THE CARBON FILTER ON A DIESEL TRUCK. FIRST YEAR THAT THEY HAVE PUT THESE ON. IT CAUSES POOR FUEL ECONOMY. 11.5 MPG ON A DIESEL ENGINE THAT IS ENGINEERED TO BE FUEL EFFICIENT. THE REGENERATION SENSOR DID NOT KICK IT INTO REGENERATION TO BURN THE CARBON OFF THE FILTER THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT. COST $2200 FOR THE DEALERSHIP STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS WHAT THE EPA HAS MANDATED FOR DIESEL TRUCKS. SOME ONE HAD BETTER GET THIS RIGHT BECAUSE IT IS WASTING MORE FUEL AND CAUSING GREATER FAILURES ON THESE NEW DIESEL EXHAUST SYSTEMS. IF AFTER MARKET MANUFACTURES CAN PRODUCE EXHAUST SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE THAT GIVES 22 MPG. THEN THE COMPANIES THAT PRODUCE THE TRUCKS CAN ALSO. 11.9 TO 22MPG IS ALMOST 90% INCREASE IN FUEL ECONOMY. WHO IS RIPPING US OFF THE EPA OR THE CAR COMPANIES. *TR
