Well, I've fallen victim now to the same problem. I'm at 52,000 miles on my 2015 Laramie Limited ED. I have 1650 drive hours and 1600 idle hours. Because I use my vehicle as a work truck I have a lot of idiling hours. Which I knew would bite me in the ass sooner or later. So here it goes...
Last few weeks I've noticed exhaust regen was getting fuller quicker then normal. I did as it suggested and cleared it out by driving it. Last Friday night I get a check engine icon on the dash. I plug it in and get a report for EGR. I take it to dealer where I'm working in Cincinnati, OH. I dropped it off on a Saturday with an estimate for $105 for just an evaluation. Now mind you I have a 3 year unlimited mile warranty I purchased for that truck. THe weekend goes by and Tuesday afternoon approaches and I hear from them saying my truck was done. What's done? No buddy called to tell me what was wrong!?!? When I arrived the service advisor was gone and they want me to pay $115 for a EGR valve clean. Which should be covered under emissions! They tell me it's not, so I paid it only to take it up with Chrysler to have the matter resolved. (Still waiting on Chrysler to call back) So at this point truck has been running fine, nothing wrong in site. Last night I get informed we have 4 day weekend, so I packed my bags to travel 300 miles east to come home and see my wife. No more then 10 miles down the road the warning light pops up. But this time...it's showing me electronic throttle control service. My engine is shifting funny and running high rpms. This is when I pull over and revert to the forum. All of you guys were a huge help with your input and previous dealings. I continued to drive east only pissing people off with my slow speed. I arrived at dealer and what do you know...this isn't the first time They've seen it. Service advisor says they'll replace injectors and tubing and I'll only have to pay for fuel filter. But of course they're back ordered till October. They advised I'd call Chrysler daily to annoy them to move myself up on the list. $1200 a month for a rental which the advisor has said he's gonna do everything in his power to stick it to Chrysler entirely. He also confirmed that cleaning the EGR valve is an emissions thing and should have been covered under warranty. But right as I pull in into the dealer I get another warning light. This time it says "Exhaust filter 100% full service required see dealer". Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't first dealer perform a manual regen? Shouldn't this problem be gone?
I hate to say it guys but this is a huge scare. Enough to make me slip a for sale sign In the window. Even more so when the service advisor says we'll replace injectors but this isn't a sure thing and we can't guarantee it won't come back. They have been problem shooting from replacing turbos to injectors and more...why can't Chrysler find an answer for a problem that started for some as early as 2015?
