SERVICE BRAKES

Owner Narrative

I had to drive my truck yesterday and this ABS issue is causing my cruise to suddenly stop working, the service engine light to come on and STELLANTIS WILL NOT ISSUE A RENTAL OR PAY FOR THE REMEDY THAT WILL FIX IT PER THEM. They are saying that I need to pay for this and then they MAY or MAY NOT reimburse me. At what point will you start pressing this issue being a SAFETY advocate and US business that is paid to make sure these vehicle manufacturers are fixing these issues? US Customer Care [XXX] > Fri, Mar 20, 5:15 PM to me Hi [XXX] , This is Darell, one of the supervisors in the Stellantis Recall Department. I attempted to reach you by phone, but your voicemail inbox appears to be full, so I am sending this email instead. Regarding your concern about Safety Recall C4B: Hydraulic Control Unit, please note the following: At this time, the official Stellantis recall remedy is not yet available, even though the recall is currently in Phase 4 of 5 toward final remedy release. We also do not have a timeframe for when the final remedy will be issued. However, there is a suitable alternative repair option using parts associated with the recall remedy for the 2017–2018 Ram 3500 Cab Chassis (DD) and Ram 4500 <10K lb. Cab Chassis (DF). Below are the part numbers that may be presented to your dealership. They will be able to determine the appropriate next steps based on the vehicle's condition. Parts Information (Alternative Repair Option) Part No.: 68143491AB Qty.: 1 Part Name: Anti?Lock Brake System (Control) Applicable Models: – 2017–2018 (DF) Ram 3500 <10K lb. Cab Chassis – 2017–2018 (DD) Ram 3500 Cab Chassis Part No.: 04318080AD Qty.: 3 Part Name: Brake Fluid Please understand that this is not a mandatory repair option, but rather an alternative if you prefer not to wait for the official recall remedy. This repair would initially be an out of pocket expense, but you may later file for recall reimbursement. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
