Consumer Description

I was driving down the road on Monday, June 27, 2023 at about 50 mph. All of a sudden the engine just seemed to go into limp mode and slowed down rapidly. The power was gone and the car seemed to not go over 35mph. The after driving another 1/2 mile I arrived at work. When I tried to turn off the engine and restart it was difficult. There was a long crank and then started. I got the car to the dealership and they say it threw a ode of P0336 which is for a Crankshaft Position Sensor and I needed a new Reluctator/tone wheel and crankshaft position sensor for $2,300. In researching the problem on your site I saw there was a recall but my VIN isn't included. Why? I also reviewed many Ram forums and I saw many similar complaints by Ram owners having the same problem and not being included int eh recall. It sounds like Fiat Chrysler gave the NHTSA some bogus info to limit the recall coverage. Its time the NHTSA force them to expand the recall to all EcoDiesels!. They clearly have not corrected the issue in their product! Its very unsafe at highway speeds and someone is going to get hurt.
