I received a ve5 late life emission performance degradation recall in january 2021. I had the recall performed on 1.27/2021 at razzari dodge, merced. They installed a new cat converter and exhaust manifold. When I got my truck back, I had an cel error code p2271 o2 sensor. I had to pay $707.74 and $978.98 to get the truck running. I had no previous cel. I think they broke the wiring harness or o2 sensors when they performed the recall. . I think the ve5 recall repair, should make the entire emissions system function, including the control electronics.

Totally integrated power system tips failure ... I did the recommended 10,000 mile fuel filter replacement and turned the ignition key "on-off" three times without starting the vehicle as outlined in the owners manual. I now have at least 10 warnings on my vehicle: check engine light, brakes, trailer, will not start, no air conditioning, headlights stay on, only driver side of brakes work, diesel regeneration required power will be reduced.....etc. Local dealership stated the totally integrated power system tips short circuited. They say it will cost at least $1,200.00. After reading all of the complaints and problems these vehicles are having with the tips, there must be a recall. In fact the dealership told me that he has seen the tips sort circuit just because the owner washed their vehicle and water got inside the tips.

We purchased a 2010 dodge ram cummings 2500 on 06/20/2011. Weeks into making the purchase we started having engine problems. Such as a clogged fuel filter, egr valve, the ignition key switch, truck would not start with turn of the key, you had to wiggle key inside ignition to start truck. The check engine light is always on, recently the message panel displayed exhaust is 90% full. The truck was going about 5 miles per hour. And recently it turned off on the way home barely avoiding getting hit by on coming traffic. We also replaced the water pump, the belt tensioner, and it had AC coils clogged. Paint also started chipping in some areas.

Bought 2010 ram 2500 diesel new and had to take to dealer to this point 5 times for check engine light illuminated. The truck has currently 16,338 miles and is returning to dealer tomorrow for another check engine light. Each time the light is in relation to the emission system. The dealer under warranty has changed the o2 sensors, cleaned the egr valve and states they may have to change the o2 sensor controller. I've also posted on this site about a major steering wobble to which the dealer changed a lot of front steering components. This truck design has a lot of history of major design flaws. I'm strongly considering filing a lemon law suit.
1. Normal driving, 2. Check engine light, emissions failure and it happens with two days of getting out of the shop, 3. Replaced parts/repaired at least 14 times and is still broken.
