Ram ecodiesel problems?

:) HI, and what do you think Dodge is going to do with those buy-backs? Patch them up, auction them off as used, and some poor unsuspecting buyer will never know why these were sold as low mileage used vehicles. And now the problem belongs to someone else. And if it makes you feel better, I'm sure that Ford and GM do the same thing. These vehicles will not be crushed and recycled.

FYI, a post from another forum
Here's the procedure for a "reacquired" vehicle:

Chrysler contracts the paperwork to a company called Impartial Services Group, they process the vehicle title and obtain lien release if needed.
Vehicle is picked up from the dealership and taken to the nearest Chrysler marshaling yard, typically one of about 15 major auto auctions scattered around the country.
Auction is responsible to verify that any repairs needed are performed at a local dealership, and concerns are verified as repaired.
ISG provides disclosure forms to the auction showing the issues and repairs made, they also notify Carfax and autocheck that the vehicle has been bought back under lemon law and why.
Chrysler then sells the vehicles at auction (closed to Chrysler dealers only) and disclosures are signed by the Chrysler rep and dealership rep.
Dealer sells the vehicle to a retail customer, customer signs disclosures a copy of which is returned to ISG.
Upon receipt of disclosure, Chrysler activates supplemental warranty of 12 months/unlimited mileage to the new owner. In addition to any other factory warranties in effect.
The disclosures typically state whether the vehicle was purchased under "Lemon law" or "An effort to promote customer satisfaction"

Chrysler takes this procedure very seriously, dealerships can get in some pretty deep doo-doo if they don't comply.

FYI, I'm a sales manager/used car buyer for a large Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram dealer for the last 22 years.
