Complaint Summary

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Owner Narrative

The DEF system failed on this truck at the end of 2025. The truck has entered limp mode, and if we continue to drive it, it will shut down completely. The vehicle has been at Darling's RAM in Ellsworth, ME since March 2026, and they say that they are still waiting for the parts. Why aren't parts available?? They have no idea when parts will be shipped from the manufacturer. Why is this at all acceptable?? I am running a business, and I am having to cancel orders from my customers because Stellantis is not sending the parts. This makes the vehicle unsafe to drive, and I feel that this is unacceptable.
