Fiat-Chrysler Used Defeat Devices In Its Diesel Vehicles

I'm a Ram fan, and this doesn't apply to Ram trucks, but it does apply to some Fiat-built vehicles, so let's get it out there before the Blue Oval Brigade has fun with it. ;) No favoritism from me just because I like Ram trucks.

German Authority Test Results Indicate Fiat-Chrysler Used Defeat Devices In Its Diesel Vehicles As Well

For the record, FCA should be treated exactly as Volkswagen was if this is true. Break the rules and face the consequences.

    Nope. None of the vehicles listed are sold in the US except for the Renegade but it's not sold with the Diesel here.
  • I think the governments need to wake up and see what needs to be done to a diesel to make them work properly! They are not what they are all cracked up to be! Especially the later model ones.
  • I can't be the only one who feels a little jealous here. :B
  • Hope this means some cheap used RAM diesels in the future! Like what happened to vdub and their diesels.
    (I know it wasn't Rams, but one can hope....right?) personally I don't care what comes out the fart pipe as long as it runs well and gets good mileage.
    Environmental benefit to nox reduction? Absolutely. Save the ozone layer for the future.
    DPF trapping soot? Who cares. It's a solid, it hits the ground and there's not enough of it to pollute the water and ground and it's not polluting the air.
