I RECEIVED A VE5 LATE LIFE EMISSION PERFORMANCE DEGRADATION RECALL IN JANUARY 2021. I HAD THE RECALL PERFORMED ON 1.27/2021 AT RAZZARI DODGE, MERCED. THEY INSTALLED A NEW CAT CONVERTER AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD. WHEN I GOT MY TRUCK BACK, I HAD AN CEL ERROR CODE P2271 O2 SENSOR. I HAD TO PAY $707.74 AND $978.98 TO GET THE TRUCK RUNNING. I HAD NO PREVIOUS CEL. I THINK THEY BROKE THE WIRING HARNESS OR O2 SENSORS WHEN THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL. . I THINK THE VE5 RECALL REPAIR, SHOULD MAKE THE ENTIRE EMISSIONS SYSTEM FUNCTION, INCLUDING THE CONTROL ELECTRONICS.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD LEAK ON 2010 DODGE RAM- THIS CAN DAMAGE PLASTIC COMPONENTS IN THE ENGINE BAY. IT CAN ALSO BECOME A HEALTH HAZARD, AS THE EXHAUST FUMES CAN ENTER THE CAR'S CABIN. UPON DOING RESEARCH MANY DODGE OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME LEAK AND DODGE HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL. MOST VEHICLES ONLY HAVE AROUND 50,000 MILES WHEN THE MANIFOLDS BREAK AND THE EXHAUST BEGINS TO LEAK.

UPON PURCHASING THIS USED PICKUP I PERFORMED AN INSPECTION OF THE UNDER CARRIAGE I NOTICED THAT THE OIL PAN HAD A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT DENT IN IT. IT WAS OBVIOUSLY CAUSED BY A SKID PLATE THAT WAS MOUNTED ON THE FRONT AXLE OF THIS TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OWNER OF THIS MODEL HAD THE SAME ISSUE. ONE PERSON WAS SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING A DEALERSHIP TO REMOVE THE SKID PLATE AND REPLACE THE OIL PAN. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT THE SKID PLATE WAS ONLY MEANT TO BE PUT ON THE GASOLINE MODELS NOT THE DIESEL MODELS. THIS IS DUE TO NOT HAVING ENOUGH CLEARANCE. THIS CAN CAUSE A HOLE IN THE OIL PAN WHICH CAN EASILY LEAD TO AN EXPENSIVE BUT NEEDLESS ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON A TRUCK THAT COST $50000, DODGE SHOULD PERFORM THESE REPAIRS AND SKID PLATE REMOVAL FOR THESE MODELS FOR NO COST. *TR
