NHTSA Complaint #11415210 — 2015 RAM 1500

THE RECALL FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL MAY DELAMINATE FALLS SHORT OF CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. MINE DELAMINATED AND IT COST ME $2600 FOR THE REPAIR AT THE DEALER IN GILROY CA. BESIDE LEAVING US STRANDED ON A REMOTE SECTION OF HIGHWAY WITH THE TRAVEL TRAILER WE WERE TOWING. WE PAID $250 FOR TOWING THE TRUCK AND THE TRAILER AND $1000 TO RENT A CAR WHILE THE DEALER WAITED TO DIAGNOSE THE ORDER PARTS AND FINALLY TO REPAIR. AFTER PICKING UP THE TRUCK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT AN HOUR DOWN THE ROAD TOWARD HOME. AFTER I GOT HOME I TALKED TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE TRUCK JUST TURNED OVER 120000 MILES JUST BEFORE GETTING TO THE DEALER SO EVEN THOUGH THE ISSUE HAPPENED BEFORE THE MILES HIT 120000 THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE COVER BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS PART OF THE EMISSION SETTLEMENT. FIRST I BELIEVE THE RECALL FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR TONE WHEEL MAY DELAMINATE SHOULD COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE WHEEL, NOT JUST MODIFY THE PROGRAM. SECOND THERE IS STILL AN ISSUE THAT WAS NOT FOUND BY THE DEALER BEFORE 120000 MILES AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD QUALIFY AS A WARRANT REPAIR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION OF THESE ISSUES.
