Complaint Summary
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
Owner Narrative
The contact owns a 2015 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 80 MPH with cruise control engaged, the contact heard an abnormal sound. Upon deactivating the cruise control feature, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road, and after opening the hood, the contact noticed an oil leak. The vehicle was towed to Patriot Diesel, where it was diagnosed and determined that the EGR system and fuel system failures had caused catastrophic engine failure, and there was a hole in the engine. The mechanic determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V406000 (Fuel System, Diesel) and 19V757000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the dealer was at fault. No assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.
