Consumer Description
I was driving my Ram 1500 along the road to my house when it slammed to a halt. Luckily I was not going to fast and I was able to push it into my driveway. The problem was that the magnetic strip on the tone wheel failed and it shut the engine off. At the time of failure, the part was not under recall so I had to pay for the parts and labor myself. A couple weeks ago I received a letter from Chrysler (FCA) that there is now an open recall for the tone wheel, (Recall 66A), but there are no parts yet available to fix it. However, it also says on the letter that if the part has already failed and if I have already paid to have it fixed that I am eligible for a reimbursement of expenses. I filled out the online form for reimbursement, however I was contacted by FCA and they stated that they will not be processing any reimbursements for Recall 66A at this time. I have attached my repair order and the recall notice from FCA with the instructions to apply for a reimbursement.
