Description of the problem | Tl* the contact owns a 2017 ram 1500. While driving 70 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle failed to accelerate past 30 mph. Tri-lives motors (180 state hwy f, branson, mo 65616, (417) 334-7543) diagnosed the vehicle and found code numbers: p0299 (supercharger underboost) and p2459 (diesel particulate filter regeneration frequency). The codes were reset and the master air flow was replaced. The contact was informed to drive the vehicle. After driving 100 miles, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The contact called the same dealer and was informed to drive the vehicle and take it to a nearby dealer if it lost power. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer for diagnostic testing and the same codes appeared. The technician reset the code and informed the contact that there was no remedy. The vehicle was taken to corwin dodge of springfield (located at 1025 w sunshine st, springfield, mo 65807, (417) 862-9272) for a buyback. A master air sensor was replaced, but the vehicle was still not repaired and remained at the dealer. The contact stated that the failure recurred every month since the vehicle was purchased. The vehicle was taken to several unknown dealers in different states where the codes were reset; however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: 58629945. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000. |
