Getting ready to replace the 6.7 Cummings Grid Heater before the loose bolt falls into the engine and grenades it. It’s been a known issue since 2007. Why did Stellantis not generate a recall for this issue. If it fell off while I was driving It would expose me to a dangerous and potentially fatal condition. Are you investigating this issue.

On September 30, 2026, a Ram dealership completed the Emissions Recall 67A / VB6 software flash on my vehicle. Following the precise instructions listed in the official 67A Recall Owner Notification, I submitted a request for reimbursement for an out-of-pocket NOx sensor replacement that I paid for on March 4, 2022, prior to the recall’s release. The documentation review team has twice issued a boilerplate denial stating: “The repairs were made prior to the effectivity of the extended warranty. We will not be able to reimburse those out-of-pocket repair expenses at this time.” This denial reason is a catastrophic error in regulatory compliance: Confusion of Terms: The review team is mistakenly evaluating a Pre-Recall Reimbursement Claimunder standard, future Extended Warranty (XQ1) rules. Chronological Impossibility: By definition, a pre-recall repair must take place prior to the recall's execution. The 67A federal recall framework explicitly mandates that Stellantis reimburse owners for valid, out-of-pocket expenses incurred to fix the defect before the recall software flash was available. Regulatory Violation: Failing to honor valid prior-repair reimbursements directly violates the court-ordered emissions settlement guidelines established with the EPA and CARB. The frontline recall phone team stated they have no power to override the documentation department, and the documentation department is refusing to read the text of my appeal, simply copy-pasting the same invalid rejection code. I have met every legal prerequisite. The recall is completed and closed on my VIN, and my attached itemized invoice proves a professional NOx sensor replacement occurred.

Check engine light came on end of November 2025 and stayed on. Immediately I took the truck to two different independent mechanics. They both said it was a problem with the turbocharger but I never received a recall regarding this. They both said I could still drive it and that it would not leave me stranded. The last recall done was the 67A a year ago. There are currently no recalls for my particular vehicle through the federal safety agency. The truck is currently having the very expensive turbocharger replaced by one of the independent mechanics. Why wasn't I alerted to this problem?

I was contacted to complete a recall on my truck, (67A), which I had performed by the local dealer. The recall notice also said "If you have already experienced this condition and previously paid for a repair, you may be eligible to receive a reimbursement." I spoke to an individual and followed the instructions to submit a claim. With no response, I tried to get a status; to confirm proper items were received electronically. I was told, they were received and the claim was denied? No reason or justification. I tried many times and was disconnected after asking to speak with a manager/supervisor.

I recently received a letter in the mail from FCA US LLC, about an emissions recall (Emissions Recall VB6 or 67A) on this 2014 ram. The recall covered many emissions components including the diesel exhaust fluid components. The recall letter also said that if I had replaced or repaired any of these components in the past, I may be eligible for a reimbursement. I had previously had to replace my Diesel Exhaust Fluid Pump back in 2021 and turned in the receipt for the work, but the claim has been denied. I just wanted to reach out to see if there was anything that done to help possibly get the reimbursement.

Upon starting the trucks engine, putting the transmission in gear (either Reverse or Drive), at idle engine speed (approx 700-800 rpm) or very low (near idle speed) the trucks engine starts to surge from idle then drops down to 500 rpms with a voltage drop (5V) too. It will do this a couple of times and then the trucks engine dies (engine stops) while in gear and no codes are shown on the CEL or saved in the vehicle control module. When I put the transmission in Park, the trucks engine restarts without a problem. But when I go to Drive or Reverse gear it then will do it again. The truck sounds like the engine brake is being applied causing the engine to lug/bog down. The torque converter has been inspected and replaced. The fuel pump/lifter has been replaced. The batteries have been replaced. The fuel filters have been serviced; the crank case breather has been serviced. The emissions controls equipment (EGR valve) have been serviced/cleaned. Knowing that my trucks engine can cut out/die at anytime at low rpms, poses a safety hazard. Knowing that the truck can do this without a code being throw feels unsafe.

RAM has Turbocharger/actuator high failure rate. I have had 2 turbo failures in under 80,000 miles. When I lost the turbo I loose the exhaust brakes. This is very dangerous when towing and coming down a mountain road. This could lead to vehicle damage and loss of life. IN FACT: RAM on the 2015 model year only, issued a warranty extension for Turbo failures. This is serious safety concern due to NO exhaust brakes or no acceleration when needed to avoid a collision.
