What owners say
I was traveling with my Ram 1500 Eco diesel truck pulling my camper when the Crankshaft position sensor on the transmission failed and my truck went into limp mode. I called the local ram dealership and they said they couldn't get me in for 5 days. I was staying in my camper off of the side of the road. So needing to do something I called another local shop and they got me in the next day and put it on diagnostics. Luckily they were an honest shop and they ran the truck and found out that this truck had a recall or extended manufacturers warranty for this sensor so they called the dealership for me and verified it. So I paid 150 dollars for the diagnostics and took my truck to the dealership to have the recall work on the sensor done. a week later I picked it up. I sent the 150 dollars receipt for the diagnostic work to FCA and they refuse to pay stating they don't pay for diagnostics. The only reason I had a diagnostic done was because of the failing part which turned out to be on recall or extended manufacturers warranty. I feel they owe me for this covered repaired. Please help me recoup my loss for this covered breakdown. Thank you, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
8hp70 8 speed transmission failed @68,000 miles. Towed 5800 lb toyhauler from abilene tx to reno nv. Was taking a day trip to lake tahoe (rv parked in sparks) when the transmission began skipping gears. Received a u0102 canbus error. Clearing the error allowed the transmission to continue operating but only for a few miles. Finally dropped it off at lithia chrysler on saturday. Factory warranty expired on sunday (5th july 20) so fca will not honor powertrain warranty. Used my extended warranty to cover the transmission but had to pay $470 expedited shipping few. Supposed to get truck back friday. So we are stranded in reno without a truck.
