James B., CA (2016 Ram 1500 Laramie 3.0-L V6 diesel)"The truck has a problem with “sensors” per FCA. These sensors have been replaced three times in less than three years, but FCA states the sensors are faulty all three times. The mechanic believes the turbo for the engine is inadequate and causes buildup that burns he sensors out. This is an ecodiesel engine and it is totally junk."

"The emission system canister filled up and had to be reset at the dealer on two occasions. This happens only when there is local driving and no highway use. It works fine with occasional highway driving."
