RAM / FIAT Settlement truck buy back...

[BlownGP]

so got the word from my dealer they said if you have had the recall fixed already you cant take the option to do the buy back if you havent had the recall done then you can either get it fixed or do the buy back deal

The tie-rod recall right?

I show that never being done on my truck. So I'm just going to wait and see if I get anything in the mail. I am in no hurry to sell my truck or buy another one, but if I do get a buy back notice. I might see what they will offer me..

Copied from a .pdf of the agreement:

FCA US's Repurchase Program 35.

The alternative remedy will be an offer to eligible owners to refund the purchase price paid by the first purchaser of the vehicle for purposes other than resale, less a reasonable allowance for depreciation, and not including the cost of modifications made to the vehicle after first retail sale ("the Purchase Price"). FCA US will additionally offer a premium of 10% above the Purchase Price to any owner of an unremedied vehicle electing this alternative remedy.

Call me dumb but can someone break this part down to me? Will they base it off what the original owner paid for my truck? I bought a 2010 used

I think that is a question no one can answer yet. It's still up in the air. I did chat with another person on the dodge website last night, and they mention I should hear something from FCA in about 2 weeks. Have to wait and see if that happens though.

Love my truck, but have a couple quirks with it that much cause me to go ahead and get a new one....

The tie rods weren't a recall just a campaign. They were done on my truck before I bought it. The rep I talked to said there was never a recall on tie rods. Think they are treating it as a warranty issue not a recall.

I don't think you will be eligible for the buy back since you're not the original owner.

I don't think you will be eligible for the buy back since you're not the original owner.

I spoke to a representative of Chrysler last night and I am eligible. I am the current owner of the truck and I am the owner with the recall issue

Not sure how they'll handle the purchase price then. I was under the impression that the buy back was just for the original purchaser.

They'll look it up.

We do know that. It doesn't matter if you first or 5th owner. You can still be eligible for the buy back.

So how do I know if my vehicle is involved?

The company is required to notify owners but Cars.com offered this advice: "Find your car's vehicle identification number, which is usually etched in the windshield's lower driver's side corner, and enter it onto NHTSA's VIN search tool https://vinrcl.safercar.gov/vin/vinLookup. If your vehicle has an unrepaired recall under campaign numbers 13V-038, 13V-252, 13V-527 or 13V-529, then it's eligible for these offers."


Mine had the recall #13-038 (rear axle pinion nut) recall but it had been repaired so it looks like I'm good to go.

I did a live chat on the Ram website, gave them my Vin and found out my truck isn't eligible...oh well, would've gotten another Ram anyway

I love how they are NOT buying them back in Canada...as if our trucks were made in a different factory or something. Our government has no authority to MAKE them do anything...so of course we get ******. Nice eh?

did my vin search
pinion bearing done,
pinion nut done,

looks like suspension is a no go on mine too bad the truck would have worth more then I paid for it in the buy back

Well, we all know you Canadians are a little off.lol

 

[Mr_BS]

Has anyone heard any new info on this, or is FCA not saying anything else and people will have to just sit and wait?

 

[Coffeeholic]

I just went to a dealership to have my 1500 checked and the guy gave me a runaround saying it was on older models and mostly Dakotas, im defs not leaving that as my final answer tho. And he tried to explain what was actually happening, something like I pay for what I use on the truck. He didn't say anything about me getting money back but I assume I wouldn't just be paying more money for a truck I already paid off. But he also said that it wasn't in effect yet so the details arnt all worked out?

the statement about jeep fuel tanks being behind the rear axle....wow....that would cover about every jeep ever made

Unless its a really early CJ or M-series jeep like my 52 Willys M38A1 and you're sitting on the gas tank lol
