What owners report
FCA US LLC is violating federal compliance regarding Emissions Recall 67A and Extended Warranty XQ1. A Ram Customer Care Supervisor officially denied my $7,400 reimbursement claim for pre-recall DEF/SCR failures, falsely claiming that 'covered components are not eligible under the XQ1 Extended Warranty if the failure occurred prior to the completion of Recall 67A.' This directly violates the manufacturer's remedy guidelines filed with the NHTSA, which explicitly mandate 'prior repair reimbursement' for these exact legacy emissions components.
Gas cap light come on took to a mechanic they dropped gas tank and found the rollover valve is cracked and not working Ram does not want to take any responsibility for poor engineering for making it
Hi my ram recall for 67a was done and it states that there is a 2 year warranty. It states that it covers the def pump if there is a failure. I purchased the part and sent in a receipt to get a reimbursement for the part. I call and everyone is rude and it goes in a circle and they tell me they can't help. What kind of customer service is this? Why was the recall letter even sent
On two separate occasions, once in 2025 and again in July 2026, while pulling a travel trailer an emissions control fault in the EGR system caused the Cummins turbo diesel engine in the truck to lose power. At this reduced power, highway speeds could not be maintained, and even small hills were difficult to climb. This is a significant safety problem, and the dealerships could not provide a timely repair due to lack of parts availability. The manufacturer of software in the engine control system does not allow the use of aftermarket parts. This is monopolistic and anti-competitive. An emissions control fault Code should not deprive me of the use of my vehicle.

Will not pass inspection. Self diagnosed. Warning light always on and message center says service airbags on every start up. Possible severe injury during a front end collision..
