FCA recall Y78 NHTSA 21V-880 is open on my truck, states "fuel starvation may result in an unexpected loss of motive power, which can cause vehicle crash without prior warning" Contacted local dealer, was told no parts available contact FCA recall assistance. Was told there was nothing they could do, I am to drive my vehicle until parts are available despite my vehicle being unsafe for myself and other drivers. Refused to transfer me, then finally did transfer me to Delivin the highest supervisor at FCA recall dept. Was told same thing, drive until crash or until parts arrive. Was also advised I could pay for parts then get reimbursed (even though recall parts not available. Was told there was a separate department to call if I did get into a crash. Kept telling me to contact dealer. Finally, Devin hung up on me. Contacted dealer again was told nothing they could do, i should contact Chrysler corporate. Contacted corporate spoke to Nicolette she told me same thing, drive until crash or parts available. Told her I felt unsafe, vehicle was unsafe. She hung up on me. I called back, spoke to Laurie she was nice and helpful but nothing else she could do, said supervisor would call me back. This vehicle, as per the recall description, is unsafe and should not be driven. I have been told now by all FCA representatives that FCA wants me to continue to drive an unsafe vehicle. I have also been told I could "pay for the parts and get reimbursed" but that the recall parts were not available.

While traveling home with a toddler, the high pressure fuel pump failed. It left my vehicle with no power or ability to move under it’s own power. It flashed a brief warning and then shut off, with no ability to restart. It left myself and my child stranded on the side of a busy byway. The dealership has confirmed that the issue was the high pressure fuel pump. Their remedy (at the direction of Ram) is to replace all necessary components, but to wash the fuel tank (instead of replace) and to reinstall the same make and model of fuel pump, that is know to be faulty. The 2019’s have a recall with the only remedy being to replace with the original design. However, 2020 version (which are mechanically identical) also have a recall where they are being instructed to install an updated version of the high pressure fuel pump. This leaves me with faulty equipment that is known to be prone to failure, yet the 2020 versions are receiving a much better and not prone to failure solution.
