If you happened to be a 'second' owner (not the first and only owner) FCA allowed a previous owner also file and get $615 as part of the settlement. In my case, the original owner had sadly passed away, and of course wasn't going to file for 'his' share. It took like another nine months...
Oh - and to be clear. While I've NOT been happy with this entire emissions settlement process with my 2015 Eco-Diesel (which I got used in 2016), I've had Chrysler products since I got my driver's license 40+ years ago. (Dad was primarily a Mopar man.) We've had both Dodge and Plymouth...
Can't hurt. Many have gone with an after-market 'tune' for the engine after getting the emissions software updated as it does affect mileage and performance. I got $2460 within 3-4 months, but - as a second owner - waited forever for the final $615, and also had to put in for out-of-pocket...
I agree. I pestered them every couple weeks for much of that time! I didn't personally attack any of the phone reps - they don't have control over the third party entity, nor did they have the visibility on the status on a case-by-case basis. I'm sure that was by design. I just keep...
Well...knock me over with a feather. I snagged my mail out of the mailbox last night, and FINALLY found an envelope with a check for the final $615 of the reimbursement settlement. Only took an extra five months to receive it, in spite of the repeated assurances it "...should be mailed in...
Interesting. I seem to recall someone else mentioning that; they'd give you your partial rather than you having to wait for the 'first/previous owner' to file a claim. (Which they've extended several times, pushing out any payment even further.) I do know those who are/were the only owners got...
I'm wondering about that myself. I got the first part of my reimbursement - $2460 - in July (after several months of run-around; update was done very early - like April or May), and was told (and it's in the paperwork) that if the 'previous owner' didn't file by August 3rd, the balance would...
Wow - don't believe that. I got my first part of the reimbursement in July of 2019, and was told if no other previous owner claim was received by August 3rd, I'd get the balance a few weeks after that. I never saw anything, so called and was told they'd extended the 'original owner' timeframe...

Update to an Update to an Update....
You'll see more than a few posts by me in this thread regarding FCA's payments for a.) settlement check, b.) reimbursement for the EGR cooler which was later covered under the Emissions Settlement and c.) 'second owner' reimbursement.
Regarding c.), as...
That was exactly my experience as well. I traded it in and got the EXACT same truck - right down to features and color - but with a Hemi. Lots of power, 10+ mpg pulling my trailer (6000#, 25' tongue-hitch RV) and am averaging 19.5 mpg going back and forth to work. (2/3 highway, 1/3 city. 21...
I'm still awaiting the last $615 of mine... I got $2460 as I was the 'second owner' and if the first owner didn't submit a claim by August 1, the balance would be sent to me. The first owner a.) sadly passed away and b.) it was titled by the dealership he owned, which was sold shortly after he...
Hi Community. This is kind of related, but is there anyone who is a second owner but who should have received the full $3075 settlement and hasn't? Allegedly, if a PREVIOUS OWNER didn't submit a claim for their share of the settlement ($615) by August 1st, 2019, the current owner would get...
It's a mixed bag for sure. Mine had 7500 miles on it when I got it. Loved it the first year or so - until it repeatedly went into limp mode. Dealership took care of that the first two times. Then the EGR cooler cracked and I lost coolant. Then the AEM flash turned it into a gutless wonder...
Mine has done that three times. All due to the plenum/screen getting carboned up. It's a pain because it takes two miles to get it up to 60 mph - it's basically a little 3.0 liter engine with NO turbo trying to move 2-1/2 tons of truck. I dreaded it happening when pulling my 6300 lb. RV...
Scoffman - yeah. And I was 'kind of' the second owner (the owner of the dealership I got mine through 'drove it for a year' but it was never titled to anyone) so I only got part of the settlement. The last $615 would be paid if 'As of August 1, 2019, no claim by a previous owner was received.'...
That does seem extreme...mine took around six weeks, but it also said 'Check mailed to address on file' (or something like that) for over a month. They told me "Oh, it can take six weeks from when the claim was approved for you to receive it." I said, "So WHY does it say 'check mailed...?'...
This is true. My dealer included a document that explained it; I noticed it right away in the same scenario - backing my trailer up with the door open, or just stepping in to back it up two more inches closer to the hitch.... You can't do it with the door open. New safety feature, but it's a...
