2007 - 2010 Dodge 6.7 Diesel Engine Vehicle Class Action Law Suit
DODGE CLASS ACTION UPDATE: On January 27, 2010, our law firm filed a Dodge Class-Action Complaint against Chrysler Group, LLC in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina (Greenville Division). You can read a complete copy of the Dodge class action complaint by clicking here.
Are You An Owner of a 2007 - 2010 Dodge 6.7 Diesel Engine Vehicle? There are many 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Dodge 2500 and 3500 Cummins 6.7 diesel owners fed up with the chronic issues they have experienced with the new technology of their Dodge trucks. Our law firm is receiving requests for assistance and legal guidance regarding the constant check engine light, stalling and numerous other complaints by Dodge owners. Chrysler is having repair problems with its 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Dodge RAM trucks equipped with the 6.7 Liter Cummins turbo diesel engine. Typically, the check engine light comes on causing the owner to take it in to their dealer for warranty repairs. The dealers often find problems with the engine computer controls, the emissions system, the turbo, and the transmissions. Dodge has issued technical service bulletins on these models dealing with engine control software issues and excessive turbocharger soot accumulation resulting in emissions problems. Dodge Fire Recall Alert: 2007-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 with Cummins Diesels Following 14 reports of engine-bay fires, Chrysler is recalling 108,429 2007-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins diesel engine. The fires were caused by sagging noise insulation material coming into contact with the diesel's exhaust-gas recirculation cooler. The EGR systems are used to reduce nitrogen-oxide emissions by recirculating a portion of the engine's exhaust back into the engine at a lower temperature. Nitrogen oxide emissions are a major pollutant, contributing to smog, asthma, and respiratory and heart diseases. To remedy the fire hazard, dealers will add a bracket in the engine compartment to support the silencing material that is in danger of contacting the EGR cooler. If you believe your Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500 pickup truck caused a fire, please contact our law firm immediately by completing our law firm's Dodge Diesel Questionnaire and returning it to our office immediately.

Thats alot of reading.
|
Anybody done this? I have received this letter in the mail. Wondering the outcomes:humm:. It almost sounds like just some lawyers trying to make a buck and just going after someone else. :w2:
Anybody know? |
I wish this was New York. I cant stand the brake downs.
|
Why don't they sue the EPA for requiring these devices to be installed on the cummins engine?
|
those devices are useless in my oppinnion cuase we are just gonna take them off anyway
|
Except for the underhood insulation, all the above mention problem components already fell off of my truck. :w2: Funny how I haven't had any problems with it since then. One of the 6.7 guys.. I think it was needhelp6.7 had a lawyer contact him about a similar case and he ended up getting somewhere in the neighborhood of 5K. Maybe he'll see this and post up.
|
If I were having problems I would join in a class action claims, but I must be some of the few who sofar have had no isues at all. I like my 08 2500 4X4 double cab long bed.
Mine runs great all the time. hope I dont have some of the problems that I hear others having. Good luck. |
Same with me ... no problems yet, and even if I did have some from all the garbage they put on that engine I'd tell my dealer he'd need to become "mod friendly" really quick otherwise he's going to lose alot of business.
-K |
most on here have modded their trucks anyway and could not join the lawsuit without returning everything to stock and everyone that has taken the crap off, have not had the same issues.
|
I have remained completely stock on my 6.7 and have had no problems with mine. I do know that I have been lucky with it, and I could not have been happier. PPL and lawyers just get too sue happy with things. And I will be removing the DPF and everything else in about 30K.
|
Mine is all stock other than a CAI and it smokes like a 1940 log truck

|
I was going to boy a NEW 2008 2500 6.7, BUT FORD gave a way better deal:tu: $10,000 less for a 2008 F-250 6.4:yeah:

Dodge is not alone
I own 4 2008 Freightliner stepvans with the cummins 6.7L and have the exact same problems with them as you do with your Rams. 3 out of the 4 trucks have had turbo replacements, wireing issues, smell in the cab loss of power, black smoke, engine lights....I could go on and on. I own 3 2005 Freightliners also but with the Cummins 5.9L and havent had one issue.

I see this is from 2010. Is it over what was the outcome? Where do i sign up at? The link does not work.

This law for the check engine light is a long drawn out proccess that will take years (like 10 or 15) to resolve in court. The issue with the insulation fire is something to take quite seriously. By the time you figure out that your truck is on fire the truck is basicly gone. The fire progresses through the fire wall and into the wiring under the dash and the first thing you will notice is smoke from the passanger side dash vent. I haven't heard of a class action suit on these but there are hundreds of suits in various states for this. Dodge corrected this problem by making the vehicle 4" longer in 2009. They accually advertised the fact that the new truck was longer but of course they didn't mention the real reason. It's for owner comfort! (justkidding about the comfort) If you modified the egr and cooler you won't have these fire issuse but if your stock they install a bracket to hold the insulation away from the cooler line to keep it from contacting and starting the fire. I can't say how effective this is but it would definately worry me if I owned one of these units. To be clear these are the 2007.5 through 2008 6.7L models only that have the fire issuse. Best of luck to all.

Have you taken it into the dealer for the recall? If not I strongly recomend it. This is a very dangerous problem and can cost you your truck. Make sure you point out the insulation to the service writer and make sure he puts the information on your invoice. That's so if you have a problem in the future you have documentation of the problem and the cause.

whip me beat me, take away my EPA card. According to my dealer I was the only one he heard of NOT getting this letter from the dealer about turbo problems. Far as I am concerned the vgt has got to go anyway, phat shaft silver bullet in the future. I knew of 9 other guys had to have their turbos replaced before 50k and two had to have the DPF filter swapped as well$$$$$$. I moved out of a communist community that required epa inspections every two years and a miracle happened, noise from under the truck, things fell off, yatta yatta yatta, and I went from 9mpg to 24 on the highway, AMEN!! I'm told that my turbo may last years longer now, why it's like curing diesel cancer! My truck can breathe, my heart goes pitty pat every time I lean on the accelerator, woo woo. I must have found a well of holistic diesel medicine that overrides the government wish to control my every wish and just may have found why Chevy Volt's explode when drinking from the same well. Around town I have seen two Volt's spray painted with Obama down the side. The first thing that should go is, well Obama, then we can work on increasing our trucks to 54.6 mpg!!!!

perty much with the new trucks if you dnt do deletes your bound to have problems

I went out in the parking place for my truck a couple months back and OMG somebody stole stuff off my truck that they might sell because of the metals in it? It looked like two guys carrying off a Boa Constrictor that had swallowed two sheep and a pig. What could I do, what could I do, I said, "don't take all that crap that Dodge engineers put on there to meet Obama test standards". "Don't leave me with a highly efficent, high mileage, smoother running, (well except for that death wobble thing), please, please, please don't make me tow my trailers with this stripped down 700 horsepowered, smoke belching, flame throwing diesel burning ....... ah forget it you guys keep the shit I guess I don't need it." I sure can't afford to replace it. :dang::jump::dang::jump::dang::jump::lol88::cannon :
