Consumer Description
I OWN SUBJECT 2017 RAM ED TRUCK. OCT 25, 2019, FCA ISSUED A NEW SAFETY RECALL ADVANCE COMMUNICATION RE THE ECO DIESEL VB1 RECALL MATTER. DECEMBER 2019, I RECEIVED MY FIRST COMMUNICATION FROM FCA ON VB1. MAY 2020 I RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER ON VB1, IMPLORING ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK A DEALER AND OBTAIN THE REPAIR.I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH SEVERAL DEALERS TO OBTAIN THE REPAIRS,AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE TO DO THE REPAIR. MOST RECENT DEALER CONTACT WAS LATE JULY, 2020. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM FCA, AS PROMISED THAT THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. FCA HAS PUT ME IN A POSITION OF RISKING AN ENGINE FIRE EVERY TIME I USE THE TRUCK, I CAN NOT SELL THE TRUCK TO A DEALER DUE TO THE OUTSTANDING RECALL, AND AM AT RISK OF CAL DMV DECLINING THE LICENSE PLATE RENEWAL IN DECEMBER THIS YEAR. THIS UNREASONABLY SLOW RESPONSE BY FCA TO THIS SERIOUS ISSUE IS IMMORAL AND UNCONSIONABLE. PLEASE DEMAND IMMEDIATE ACTION OF FCA TO PROVIDE ALL THE PARTS TO THEIR DEALER NETWORK TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I AM USING THIS TRUCK NLY WHEN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, AND AM BLOCKED FROM SELLING THE TRUCK.
