I have a 2016 eco and I bought used with 40 k in May of 2017. The truck has run like a champ. I put some miles on it. I drive mostly highways and have topped 27.8 mpg on a flat highway. This spring, last week in May, I turned the corner by my house and lost power, it was in a crawl mode. I shut down restarted and was in crawl mode for a mile to the house. I called a tow to the dealership where I bought. It now had about 119,000 miles and I do keep up with all maintenance, so I had no idea. I had a lifetime powertrain warranty so I was not worried. That next week the dealer called and told me bad fuel pump but was on back order for 2 weeks. So when fuel pump was installed the said it was not running good so they wanted to flush the fuel injectors. I was up to around $2000 but I had not put much money in the truck and it has always run great. I went to pick up and still not running good. They said the wanted to replace the turbo switch and also fuel injectors. So the bill almost doubled. The told me everything would be coved under warranty if I got the patch. I never wanted the patch and I am part of the buyback but they had me over a barrel. $5000 or the patch, regrettable, I had to do the patch. After the patch, they ran into more issues, 2 sets of fuel injectors, various switches and also a cadalitic converter and other electronic things on that. A total of around $12,000 and 11 weeks later and trying to pick my truck up 8 times with problems I got my truck back. Yep, all summer without my truck. The dealer did loan me a car but it’s no truck. So now with the patch, my MPG iTanked, I have power issues, fumes in my cabin and lots of rattling under the chassis. I love my Ram. But Chrysler has al but killed it and how I feel about the company.
