Class action lawsuit regarding Engine Replacement

[jas]

I would be willing to head up filing a class action suit regarding engine replacement. I am wondering how many people out there have had engine replacement issues or extremely high cost to replace the motor. How many people are there that would join this???

Not to be Debbie Downer, but you're the 3,527th person who has made this type of comment. Everyone who makes these types of announcements are never to be seen again. In other words, it appears to be a pipedream.

Just for the record, the original person who started this post hasn't been seen since January. When I said, "Everyone who makes these types of announcements are never to be seen again", I wasn't joking.

My engine on my 2015 blew at 150,000 miles while on a trip. Went to pass a car and as I came back into the lane, she started knocking. Had to have it towed into a dealership about 500 miles from my home, rented a car to get home and 5 months later, had a new engine at a cost of $12,500. Nothing covered according to the dealership. Once the engine was put in and I took the truck back home all of a sudden had problems with my DEF system. Had to replace from the injector back to the pump and the pump. Seems the DEF fluid hardened in the lines and pump while the engine sat for 5 months. So now I have a new engine with about 30,000 miles on it with 189,000 on the odometer. I sure would join any law suite filed. The dealer never did tell me what happened, just said they'd ship it back to FCA and let them figure it out.

I joined this forum for this purpose. Also have a 2016 EcoDiesel at 111k miles with a blown engine caused by a bad rod bearing. The oil had just been changed 6 weeks prior along with $4k in a complete brake and emergency brake job. Also telling me that it will be $25k to replace the engine. I've been told that it's 50/50 of whether these engines will fail between 80k and 120k miles. Dodge Customer Care responded that Dodge will not provide any compensation for the failure. Would like to participate in a class-action case!

My 2015 just experienced a catastrophic engine failure with 112k miles. Just curious if there has been any progress on a class action lawsuit. I too was denied any form of compensation.

Any word on a lawsuit?

No, there isn't a class action lawsuit. Your truck failed outside of warranty. Here are your options:
(1) Sell the truck as is
(2) Buy a rebuild engine
(3) Buy a new engine

Class action lawsuit, let’s gooo! My ecodiesel blew up around 120k. This is unacceptable

 

[riderlee]

Mine blew up at 19k miles. Bought it 5 years old with 9k miles so no warranty.....

Do you want to sell it with a bad engine?
