2500 4WD 6-cyl Diesel

  • miles
I have received a notice of recall 2 times since December 1,2014 for diesel fuel heater electrical connector and have been to the Dodge dealer several times to get this taken care of. The dealer states that they do not have the parts. This has been over 8 months now and I am now experiencing electrical problems with this vehicle as well as what appears to be a sticking throttle as I drive. This is a serious situation as the vehicle does not slow down when releasing the throttle. It also at idle will increase the RPM on it's own. Update 9/15/15 the fuel heater was fixed. The electrical problem still exists with high idle and the vehicle only slowed down when the brake was applied. The high idle and constant instances of failure of the vehicle to slow down was a recurring problem as well as the inability to obtain information from the vehicles information port still exists.

Chrysler has had NHTSA campaign number: 14V635000 component(s): Engine and engine cooling, fuel system, diesel in effect since October 2014. My truck has this recall problem. I continually have engine code P2609 active. I have contacted Chrysler about this and all they will say is that the repair parts are not available. My truck is still under warranty but Chrysler will not repair the truck. Along with the "check engine light", I have a diesel fuel smell entering the passenger compartment at various times. Chrysler will give me no date as to when they will repair this problem. The local dealers say they can do nothing until Chrysler get the repair parts needed. It seems logical that if Chrysler has issued a warranty on a vehicle then they should be able to repair the vehicle.
