 Description of the problemI purchased vehicle used on 2/14/2018. Carfax stated no outstanding recalls. After about one year, very occasionally, when shifting from park to drive, the gear would not engage until the process was repeated. Just recently, while highway driving, both "service engine" and "transmission" warning lights appeared on the dash. This was followed by a near total loss of power and an occasional stall. This obviously created a dangerous safety hazard for me and the other drivers in my area. I took the vehicle to the local ram dealership (peacock - bluffton, sc) and (after 5 days) was told i needed a new "transaxle range sensor wiring harness" ($700. +/-) and a powertrain software update (warranty). Some research revealed a recall by fiat-chrysler (8/2016) for the wiring harness - s55 / nhtsa 16v-529. According to the dealer, fiat-chrysler will only honor this recall for a period of 2 years from date of issue. Further research revealed that nhtsa requires recalls be honored for a "reasonable" amount of time, suggesting that 10 years is "reasonable". This is day #8 as the vehicle remains in a bay at the dealership. I am looking from some guidance on how to proceed.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
