Dodge dodged diesel emission standards
Any of you have a 2014-2016 Dodge Ram diesel?
Expect a recall sometime in the near future.

Just like Volkswagen was found guilty of last year and had to pay BILLIONS, Fiat / Chrysler seems to have been caught
[quote]with at least eight software-based features that were not disclosed in FCA’s applications for certificates of conformity and that affect the vehicles’ emission control systems.[/quote]
The upcoming fine won't be nearly as steep as VW's was, for it is far fewer vehicles, but this still is going to sting the corporation good.

1 ReplyWell, I don't have a dodge but I have a Ford fiesta and it was just recalled because apparently my doors can just break.

1 ReplyWho's next, GM or Ford? Either way, diesel regulations have asked for a lot in a short time. Technology just needs a chance to catch up.

Not only did they buy my car back but they gave me extra cash as well. I was able to get a newer car with less miles and still pocket a few grand. Hopefully those affected by the diesel Dodges will benefit as well.

Sorry they got caught.

24 RepliesToo bad they got caught. It be a better story if they just ignored the fines and mooned the government while flipping them off or better yet wipe their butts with the money and deliver it personally

Big deal, if you're driving a diesel that's pass its warranty and haven't had the DPF and EGR removed, you're doing it wrong.

1 ReplyThey didn't learn from VW, huh?
