Recall: p65/NHTSA 14v-635 : diesel fuel heater electrical connector: received first recall in December, 2014. Took truck to dealer (haddad Dodge, bakersfield, CA) and was told that they did not have the parts and would call when parts were available. As of 5-12-15, no call and no repair. Received another recall notice in mail 5-10-15 for same safety issue. This is listed as an "important safety recall". If this is so important, then why has 5 months gone by with no parts and now a second notice sent. It would appear that Dodge corporate/dealers should be held accountable for getting the parts and making the repair. I consider 5+ months as an unreasonable amount of time. Otherwise, take the red label off the front of the notice and remove the word "important" from the label.
The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that diesel gasoline was spilled from the vehicle on a daily basis. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the electrical fuel heater assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 49,000.
When driving this vehicle there is a very strong smell of diesel in the cab and coming from the ventilation system when stopping. The fuming is very strong and extremely worrying. I have been sickened during these fuming events. The smell is not unlike charcoal lighter fluid vaporizing but not igniting. I believe that these fumes are deleterious to health and pose a serious danger to public safety. The common unqualified wisdom is that it is a 'regeneration process' taking place, but it does seem to be a dumping of raw fuel and this is vaporizing into the ventilation system, the only things that helps a little is to turn off the a/c off, and switch of the fresh air, use the recirculating air system, open windows. This is the only thing that can be done when you cannot stop the truck and get out for fresh air. My research found many reported cases of this. It seems to be a concern among many Dodge (Chrysler) ram owners. The manufacturer will not admit there is an issue and the dealers hold fast that its not a problem and is 'normal'. Whatever this is, it is not 'normal'. The suggestion of just using 'recirculated air' is a nonsense. This must not be allowed to go on, someone is going to get seriously injured, or themselves and someone else killed from this gassing issue. This issue should be subject to a redesign and a recall on these affected trucks. Irrespective of the processes taking place under the hood, higher egt's, regeneration mode etc. These processes should not affect the health and wellbeing of the vehicle operator. I am imploring the odi to investigate these issues and reported cases, Dodge must respond to odi and they must be made to resolve these issues to the satisfaction of the odi and owners alike. Chrysler and the Dodge ram marque are responsible and liable for their products and faulty engineering. .
While driving my 2013 Ram 2500 crew cab 4x4 (VIN 3c6ur5fl4dg535461 ) I was on an onramp headed onto the highway and I tried to accelerate from roughly 10-15 mph to highway speed because of the short on ramp and heavy traffic. The truck refused to accelerate at even a moderate speed while the accelerator was fully depressed. I ended up having to pull over to the shoulder because I was not able to gain any speed due to what I believe was some kind of electronic program preventing acceleration. I tried to research online for some issues other people may have been reporting and found people referring to something called torque management being there problem. I want ram to fix this issue because it is a true safety issue which prevent necessary acceleration in real world driving situations.
When I'm accelerating and have to get off the throttle and back on quickly there's a serious pause, I almost got rear ended because I had no throttle response for a few seconds. This happened to me several times since may, it is very bad when pulling my RV. Please ask Chrysler to look into it. Thanks.
P65 recall on this vehicle - the notice indicates that parts are not available, but potential adverse affects include fire. We have not been driving it as a result, and Chrysler is unable to give us a date for when parts will be available. While they did say that no adverse events of any kind have occured this obviously does not satisfy my family.
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Dodge Ram 2500. The contact stated that the check engine light illuminated and the smell of fumes are leaking into the cabin. The smell are extremely strong when in high idle and cold climate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician was unable to find a failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure mileage was 8,000. Sr.
Vehicle exhibits an accelerator 'dead pedal' problem. When pulling out into traffic, or slowing then accelerating, if one lifts the throttle then reapplies the throttle quickly, the truck does not respond for several seconds. In heavy traffic, this can create (and has created) a potentially dangerous situation. This has been an ongoing problem that the dealer has been unable to resolve.
On the cummins diesel 6. 7 engine, when trying to change lanes and accelerate the truck has a huge hesitation, or lag, in acceleration. It is very dangerous to go from the slower right hand lanes and move over to the left lanes. After the hesitation it accelerates fine.
