Tsb# 18-003-08, I have had this oil sending unit replaced 2 times within one year and dodge has a tsb out there to fix it. Although my warranty is out of date this is a huge safety issue. When the switch starts to fail the unit sends a message to the on board computer to turn on the check gauges light and reduces the rpms and stalls out the vehicle. Dodge has a tsb to address this problem but refuses to do it without charging. Dodge knew this issue well before the vehicle was out of warranty but did not notify the owners to address the issue. It has now become a safety issue with my truck and nearly causing 2 crashes. I have asked dodge via chat to approve the update to my on board computer tsb# 18-003-18 and they refuse. I don't see how they can force the customer to pay $100 plus to fix an issue that they should have taken care of regardless. I have now had to pay 100's to replace a oil sending unit that no longer works with the trucks computer due to defective software used by dodge..

Vehicle shut off while driving causing loss of steering and braking. It gave code for bank 2 knock sensor and oil viscosity wrong. It would not start. Noticed smell from under passenger side. Found insulated harnessing in passenger side had caught fire possible due to short to chassis. Wiring was all in oem state, found no standoffs present to keep harness off chassis on horizontal run, standiffs are present in vertical run by oil filter. Replaced section of harness and documented with pictures. This is a hazard to all dodge owners, flame in very close proximity to oil filter. I have documented all with photos and request compensation for my work to repair.

Engine will cut off during driving. Stalls. I replaced battery and no one knows why it cuts off and stalls this has happened multiple times. Sometimes if you disconnect the battery it may start. Lock and unlock the remote control. Or just sat and wait or have it towed home. Midway driving it will shut off the engine for no reason. Doesn't matter if the fuel is full or low.
