I brought my truck in for service on January 3, 2025. There were some service items that needed to be addressed. After 4 days I called to see why I was not hearing back from them. No one returned my messages. I called and left numerous messages, however either I could not reach the service department or when I did and left a voice message, no one called me back. I finally reached a service advisor on January 8 who told me the vehicle was all done and ready to go. I asked them to please confirm as I had a situation in the past with the same service department, where I was told the vehicle was ready when it was not. I was told again that it was indeed ready. I called again the next morning before I went to pick it up and was told the same. Upon getting in to drive from the dealership, it was immediately apparent that the issues had not been addressed. I immediately informed a service advisor who claimed that there was a mistake and the vehicle was marked completed when it was not. I was then told they would need to keep it. I asked for a loaner vehicle, but was told that there weren't any available. I was told that if any loaner vehicles came in, I would be notified. I have called every couple of days since and the vehicle is still not ready and each time I am told there are no loaner vehicles. Most of the time I call the service department it keeps sending me in a loop, and the couple of times I have been able to leave a message, no one calls me back.I called corporate and was told someone would reach out to me the following day with an answer or a rental car approval. Someone left a message with a number and extension, however when I call it, I am told voice messages are not set up for that mailbox and then hung up on. I have tried over 20 times to call. I have also selected to be transferred to the main operator and I am automatically hung up on.I need my truck back as I use it for work and it should not take 20 days and still have no answers!Customer response

It has now been 47+ days, and my vehicle remains unrepaired with no completion date.I have continued making full car and insurance payments for a vehicle I cannot use. Due to financial constraints, I could only afford a rental for 2 weeks. Dodge initially promised rental reimbursement but later reduced it to 10 days, despite my car being undrivable for over 47 days. Dodge has not issued any reimbursement and now claims it will take 30 days to process, leaving me without transportation.I have contacted Dodge Corporate ***************) multiple times requesting a resolution, but they have failed to provide assistance. The dealership has not provided accurate repair updates, and Dodge has refused a loaner vehicle despite the delay.Resolution Requested:Full reimbursement for the 2 weeks of rental I paid for.Full reimbursement for car payments and insurance during this period.Immediate rental reimbursement so I can secure transportation.A firm repair completion date.A goodwill payment for financial hardship caused by Dodges delay.If Dodge fails to resolve this, I will escalate my complaint by filing a formal complaint with the State Attorney General, seeking legal counsel, and notifying consumer advocacy organizations.I expect a response within 10 business days.Sincerely,***** ******* *********************** ************Customer response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:
I am rejecting Stellantis response because it does not fully address my complaint.
No repair completion date: They stated they are working on getting the part, but I have not been given a firm timeline for when my vehicle will be repaired.
Incomplete reimbursement: A check was allegedly issued for rental reimbursement, but I have not received it yet. Additionally, they have not reimbursed me for my car payments or insurance, totaling over $1,300 per month for the past two months.
No compensation for financial hardship: I have been without my vehicle for over 47 days and forced to cover expenses out-of-pocket due to Dodges delay. They have not offered any goodwill payment for the inconvenience.
I request the following from Stellantis to fully resolve this issue:
A clear repair completion date.
Confirmation and tracking information for my rental reimbursement check.
Full reimbursement for my car note and insurance costs for the time I have been without my vehicle.
A goodwill payment for financial hardship caused by Dodges delay.
I expect a prompt response with concrete solutions, not vague reassurances.

Dear Better Business Bureau,
I am following up regarding my ongoing complaint against Stellantis, as their response continues to be inadequate and does not address my primary concerns.
To date, my vehicle has been out of service since December 1, 2024over two monthsand there is still no estimated timeframe for repair. While I was reimbursed for two weeks of rental expenses, this does not come close to covering the financial burden I have faced due to Stellantis inability to provide a necessary repair in a reasonable timeframe.
I require Stellantis to directly answer the following:
1. Will Stellantis reimburse me for the full duration my vehicle has been undrivable? Specifically, I have now made three car payments and three insurance payments for a vehicle I cannot use. Does Stellantis intend to compensate me for these costs?
2. What is the official policy for extended delays due to unavailable parts? At what point does Stellantis provide additional compensation or alternative solutions (such as a buyback or extended rental coverage)?
3. Will Stellantis acknowledge and compensate me for lost income? The delay has directly impacted my ability to work, resulting in financial hardship.
I expect clear, direct answers to these questions, not a generic response stating the repair is delayed with no resolution. Stellantis failure to provide timely repairs or a meaningful alternative is unacceptable, and I request the BBB to push for a definitive resolution.
I appreciate your continued assistance.
Best regards,

On July 12th 2024 my wife and I purchased a 2024 Roardtrek Play Slumber camper van from ******************* in *****, ******. We paid $132,919 for the vehicle which had 124 miles on the odometer. On our first trip we discovered that the cruise control didnt work. We were told by ******* ** to take the vehicle to a Ram dealership, which we did on August 14th.The van has now been at the dealership a total of 145 days and the cruise control has not been repaired. Around the beginning of November, the Stellantis technical advisors at D*** Hannna Ram (the dealership repairing the van in *********, **********) decided the problem was probably caused by something the upfitter (Roadtrek) had done. Roadtrek insists that is not true. As of right now no one is trying to fix the van, in fact I believe no one has touched the van for at least 45 days and probably since mid November. I registered a complaint with ***************** and was given a case number ********** and a case worker named Bina. **** calls the dealership about once a week and then sends me an email telling me she called. She has been doing this since September 28. Nothing has come of this.******* ** was late getting involved but has also been unable to get anyone to act.I believe the technicians at the dealership need help solving this problem. The help, more than likely, needs to come from Stellantis but Im at a loss as to how to make this happen.I seem to have either been sold a class B RV with no cruise control or no warranty.Customer response

[You must provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution. Please type details here:]My understanding is that the repair for my vehicle was classified as a star case back in August by the dealership. This status did not lead to a repair.
My stellantis case manager has been providing updates almost weekly since September to no effect.
This response from stellantis does not reassure me that my vehicle will be repaired. What I would like to hear is that someone with better diagnostic experience is actually working on my vehicle. Right now it sits untouched at the dealership where it has been for 139 days.

I have no reason to believe that the case manager, and the phone calls they have made since September 28, result in any action. It seems to me that this latest response is an attempt to treat the BBB the same way; dismissive and empty reassurances.What would make me happy? Knowing that a technical assistant or engineer has been assigned to help the dealership repair my vehicle since the dealership is unable to do so.

Me and my fiance's (****** *****) truck in your service department at *********** Chrysler in *********** ** at this time. The problem is last year April 2024 we brought our truck to the same service **** regarding ongoing issues with the *** and a transmission issue, main Dodge (Stellantis) was involved due to the ongoing issues and Stellantis was covering everything so no cost to us. Case number ********. At that time the service department was able to fix the *** issue by running a wire from front to back of our truck to resolve that issue, they thought the issue was in wiring harness but I gues easier to run one wire front to back to fix issue easier. As for the transmission issue, the service department could not find the transmission issue and replicate the code at that time (which can't be replicated because it only happens when we are pulling something like a cattle or equipment trailer), so **** in Service told ****** to drive it until the issue reappeared and bring it back, well that issue continued every time we pulled something like our cattle trailer or equipment trailer so we have brought it back with the code number *****, which is the transmission fluid pressure sensor/switch, and this is same issue as back in April when all this was covered through Dodge (Stellantis). But now **** is saying we have to pay $600 just for this issue to be diagnosed, when it was originally covered under dodge (Stellantis) but never fixed the first time by the service ****. . So now our truck is on hold, which we need badly for work and farm. So please explain how this is fair to us and why we should have to pay when it was covered through Dodge the first time but your service department couldn't find or fix the issue? I have placed emails and phone calls to Stellantis and have heard nothing back.Customer response

I am sorry to hear you are having these issues.
Dealerships are privately owned and set their pricing. I advise you to speak with the dealer and ask if there is so kind of goodwill they can give you to cover them diagnosing the vehicle.
Once the diagnosis is completed I would ask about a STAR case being created for technical assistance in fixing the issue.

Jeep/Stellantis issued a recall for hybrid Jeep models in September of 2024. The recall was issued after an internal investigation uncovered 13 fires in vehicles that were parked and turned off. The Jeep dealership stated that Jeep/Stellantis did not have a fix for this recall and Jeep advised owners to avoid charging their Jeeps and to park away from any structures.I followed their direction and did not park the Jeep in my garage or near my home and mice were able to access the wires in my engine. The Jeep would not start so I had it towed to the Jeep dealership, where they had it over a month.The dealership contacted Enterprise and told them they would pay for my rental car, however when I went to pick it up, Enterprise informed me that they called back and said they would not be covering my rental vehicle because my new Jeep was just out of warranty. I had over $900 taken out of my account in car rental fees in a week by the time I decided to turn the rental car back in because the dealership indicated they were not actively working on my vehicle because there are "over 7 miles of wires" and they had to wait for Chrysler/Jeep/Stellantis to get back with them on why it wasn't working. I didn't hear anything from my ticket at Jeep or the dealership after this and I had to buy a different vehicle to get back and forth to work. Without any clear direction from Jeep on the current wire issue and the recall without a fix, I had no other solution. Nearly a month later, I received an email from my insurance company indicating they received a bill for over $5,000 for the wire repairs. I do not feel this damage is my responsibility or my insurance company's responsibility. The Jeep would have been parked in my garage, unable to be chewed on by animals if there were no recall. Jeep should pay for all damages, buy back my vehicle and pay off my remaining lease. This is not my responsibility and Jeep needs to stand by their product by relieving me of it.Business response

I am not asking Stellantis to continue repair the leased Jeep. I had to buy a new vehicle due to the ongoing issues caused by the recall and subsequent instructions not to store the vehicle in our garage. I cannot store the Jeep outside of the garage because the wires will get eaten again (over 5k in damages last time). I live in the country. Also, I cannot afford the $900 lease payment along with the new vehicle I had to buy in order to go to work over the month-long period the dealership had my vehicle. It is still there at ******* auto in ***************, IN. There is only 10k left on the lease and I have paid 30k already. I am asking that Stellantis take responsibility for the financial damages it has caused me and my family due to their vehicle limitations by buying back the vehicle and paying off the remaining 10k on the lease. That is the only course of action that will suffice at this point.

I purchased a RAM 1500 truck in 2023. Problems developed last winter causing the vehicle to not run when the temperature is below 0 degrees. A common condition in **. My local dealer is unable to solve the problem. Another local dealer refused to schedule it saying there was no fix for the problem. They said we needed a heated garage. The dealer I purchased it from suggested calling RAM customer care to get help securing a different vehicle that would be drivable. RAM customer vare keeps finding g different ways to ignore me. First they had no records of my past repairs and required me to bring it to the dealer that can't fix it again. I heard no reply from them. I tried calling several times waiting up to an hour and a half to talk to a representative. When I finally got ahold of them they said I had to bring it in again because now the diagnosis (which has been the same for almost a year) isn't current enough. It took me over 14 days to reach them because the dealer kept saying they were "waiting for parts". Finally I was told to call for help getting another vehicle. If they won't answer my calls it is impossible for me to contact them. And if they change their requirements every time I call it is impossible for me to follow said requirements. We've lost weeks of use of this vehicle this winter alone and spent thousands of dollars installing a furnace in a garage that didn't solve the problem.Customer response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:This is just another excuse in a list of excuses dating back to January of 2024. In my last communication with Stellantis in late December I was directed to bring it to a dealer for diagnosis which I did. I followed the customer care specialist and my dealers instructions. This current diagnosis thing is yet another delay. I fully expect that if I take yet another day off work to deliver this truck to the dealer I will be given another excuse as to why they can't fix it just like they haven't for the past year. I'm tired of excuses. It's been a year! We've been unable to drive this vehicle for over a month out of the past 12.

For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:I spoke with RAM customer service in December. I brought my vehicle in for a "current diagnosis " as I was instructed. I followed my dealers directions. And then, as my dealer instructed, I contacted RAM again. I explained this series of events to RAM customer service and I am still being ignored. Very time we visit we have a current diagnosis but so far it hasnt been good enough. I have followed the dealers instructions in contacting customer service so i dont understand why the dealer and customer service dont agree on direction. I'm don't know how many times I need to follow this process (we went through it last year as well). As long as RAM continues to ignore my visits and diagnoses I don't see a resolution to the problem. *** needs to understand that it's easy for them to demand more visits. But it's difficult for me to continually take time off and go through the logistics of bringing this vehicle in when every visit has left us either being misled or ignored and left with the same problem for a year now. Give us a loaner and take this truck and fix it. You owe me that for the ******************************** compensate us for our time we invest in wasted trips to not fix it. And please reimburse us for the 30 plus days it's sat in the yard unable to be driven. Hopefully I've made it clear. 4 diagnoses should be sufficient to solve the problem.

I purchased a new vehicle from them in October 2023. In June of 2024 my car needed to be towed to the dealership because the abs module went and while it was there I told them about a noise the car was making. The tech said for the noise he couldnt replicate it but the engines are known to have gas problems and they pre detonate to put in 93. Even though their own manual says to put 87 gas and it doesnt do anything to put in higher gas. They had the car for 3 weeks in June. In October I made an appointment to bring it back because the noise got bad again and I had some issues with the front end another noise the car was making, the engine was burning oil fast and the abs module went again. It was brought in on November 14th. They told me I need a new engine for the car that it went bad from the pre detonation. Which they already knew was a problem and they sell people these cars knowing that this will be a problem. I filed a complaint with the company for a resolution for a buy back. They said they would work with me on a trade assist and work with me to get some money back. They continue to lie about the process, give me the run around and now I cant even reach no one. I havent heard anything from anyone in almost 3 weeks. They still even have the car at the service center.Customer response

The dealer has had my car since November 14th. I had a case manager I was dealing with and his supervisor. They continued to lie to me and drag out the process. It was then transferred to a different department with a different case manager as of 12/20/24. I have not heard from this person once. The dealer has also not heard from that case manager after a few attempts. Ive also called twice told Im getting a call back and do not. The car is devalued so much that the dealer isnt even going to sell it through retail if the trade assist is done. The car is a lemon and I am still paying for it and driving in a loaner. The attempts of trying to resolve directly with the dealer and Stellantis on my on have not been successful and they continue to give me the run around with no answers or solutions.

[You must provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution. Please type details here:]as I stated in my response from yesterday, to the same statement Stellantis continues to not supply any answers and no one has even been able to reach the new case manager since 12/20/24. The previous case manager and supervisor also continued to lie and mislead me about the process and what they would do for me. My car has been in the dealership since November 14th and it is still there. The car needs a lot of work and is a lemon. They should be refunding me my money and getting me into a new vehicle at this point it has been so long. Theyve had my car a total of 2.5 month out of the last 6. Thats well beyond the 30 days for the lemon law.
