My name is ******* ***, writing to escalate a long-standing compensation issue with Alfa ***** Canada that remains unresolved after more than months of ************ #: ******** My 2018 Alfa ***** Giulia was at the dealership from Feb 2024 to Feb 2025 for warranty repairs. This period coincided with the start of my separately purchased extended warranty, causing me to lose a full year of coverage while continuing to make finance payments on a car I could not use.Since its return in Feb 2025, the vehicle has suffered recurring issues requiring additional repairs nearly every month.I began compensation discussions with **************** Manager ****** in Aug 2024. After many delays, we reached a verbal agreement on Apr 25, 2025, in which ****** initially offered 4 years of extended warranty coverage and 4 years of oil changes. However, this offer was unexpectedly reversed on May 5 without explanation and replaced with only 4 years of oil changes. This revised offer does not reflect the true value of the lost warranty coverage, ongoing inconvenience, and disruption I endured.****** declined to escalate my case further, stating it had been reviewed internally. Despite multiple follow-ups and direct contact with Stellantis' executive communications team, I have yet to receive a fair or meaningful resolution.On Jan 22, 2025, after 11 months without a successful repair, the dealership escalated the issue to Alfa ***** Canadas CEO, resulting in the transfer of my vehicle to the **** for further diagnosis. Its unacceptable that I had to rely on such internal escalation to get proper attention.I respectfully request that my case be reviewed by someone with appropriate authority who can offer fair compensation for the lost extended warranty coverage and the finance payments I continued to make during the vehicles prolonged downtime.I am happy to provide supporting documents or discuss the matter further if needed.Thank you for your time and consideration,******* ***Business Response

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. We are sorry to learn of the experience that the customer had with the vehicle. ********************** is committed to supporting the efforts of our authorized dealer body to address any confirmed vehicle deficiency. However, none of the FCA Canada warranties cover incidental or consequential damages such as loss of use of the vehicle, loss of time, inconvenience, commercial loss, loss of income, etc. We have advised the customer that we regret their dissatisfaction with the goodwill offered. However, when considering this type of participation, it is not always possible to extend the full relief expected by the customer. Based on the file and their concerns, we believe that the maintenance plan offered was fair and was presented to them in a goodwill spirit. We encourage the customer to reconsider our position bearing in mind the goodwill intention it was designed to communicate. Also the customer has received a courtesy vehicle for the duration of all the repairs.Initial Complaint

Purchased a new jeep 8 years ago. 5 years ago rear differential was replaced on recall. Not even 5 years later it is same issue again and they refuse to replace. After speaking to many mechanics even from their own dealerships they have all stated this is not a regular issue and should be taken care of by ********. May be a faulty recall. They refuse to replace the part because warranty is no longer available for the part. But no other recalls have been returned so it tells me that the part out on wasnt the upgraded version as it should have been 5 years ago. Now causing the vehicle to be of no use at all and it is only 8 years old in total. There sweet two cases opened with Chrysler Canada and fca. They have given no help towards this issue. When the part that was recalled and replaced they assured us that it would never be an issue later if there was possibility we would have traded or sold.Business Response

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Our customer has been contacted and notified that within the 5 years or *******km (whichever occurs first) powertrain warranty, FCA Canada will not hesitate to assume the differential repair costs. However, after the warranty terms have been exceeded, any charges are the responsibility of the vehicle owner. The powertrain warranty coverage for this repair expired since May 2, 2022 by time and since 100 000 kilometers and the customers vehicle is not subject to any recall for the rear differential. Every recall is VIN specific.

Complaint: 23549012
I am rejecting this response because: the parts were already replaced during the time of which there was warranty and this part in specific should last longer than 4 years.this vehicle has been driven by a ***** year old woman during the past 7 years and has never been hard driven or even off road used. As u can see online anywhere a rear differential should last the lifetime of the vehicle.
not to mention when it was replaced they were asked if this is a regular issue and they had said it would be ok once replaced for many years to come. If this was a known issue for these machines (which everywhere online also shows) then we would have sold it or traded it once it was repaired the first time. But being reassured it wouldnt be an issue going forward we decided to keep it.
this is a part issue that shouldnt exist after only less than 5 years.

I am writing to formally file a complaint against FCA Canada concerning an unresolved safety recall on my 2021 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk involving the Power Transfer Unit (***).In December 2024, my vehicle experienced a failure of the ***an issue known to affect this model. Despite the symptoms matching those listed in an active recall, I was told by FCA Canada that my VIN was not eligible at the time. Neither the Mission nor Abbotsford, **, authorized dealerships had parts available or expected them anytime soon. As the vehicle was unsafe to drive, I paid out of pocket to complete the repair at a reputable local ******* January 2025, I received an official letter from FCA Canada stating that the *** issue was now covered under a recall, but also acknowledging that no parts or remedy were currently available. I contacted ***, who informed me that to be eligible for reimbursement, I would need to have the repair redone at a dealershiponce parts became availableand then apply for reimbursement for the original ******* of todayover five months laterthere are still no parts available. I followed up ,only to learn that *** closes customer cases after 14 days, regardless of resolution, requiring customers to start over repeatedly. This is unacceptable, especially considering this recall involves a critical safety component. A *** failure can lead to a loss of vehicle control and potential crash.I find FCA Canada's handling of this recall negligent and dismissive of customer safety. I respectfully request ******************** assistance in urging FCA to:Reimburse me for the December 2024 out-of-pocket *** repair.Provide clarity and accountability on the recall remedy *************** and correct their flawed case management system.I have documentation of the repair, recall notice, and correspondence with FCA and can provide it upon request.Sincerely,***** ******Business Response

What *** is not saying is that the recall part (power transfer unit ) was issued Jan 2026. They still do not have any idea when if ever that part will be available.
All that sending me to the dealership is to confirm that yes it is still and issue and we have no idea when that part will become available.
The letter from FCA states that if you vehicle is having issues like mine, do not drive it. What solution are they offering ? How are they going to make a part appear that has not be available for the last 6 months and no eta on when it will be.
This case should not be closed until they can at minimum assist with getting the recalled part.

On Tuesday, April 29 I received a call after multiple appeals to Stellantis (FCA Canada) about a warranty claim I had attempted to file appropriately a year ago regarding a faulty radiator sensor. The radiator sensor ceased to function and caused my engine to overheat and warp the cylinder heads. This lead to a nearly $4000 repair cost as of the time of this complaint being filed due to long-term damage from coolant leaking into the engine.The original claim and case file was ignored by *** and the dealership in which I purchased the vehicle until my vehicles odometer exceeded the set kilometres allowed by *** claims ************** my vehicle is at ******* kms, I am being told Im obliged to come up with an out of pocket repair cost for the long-term damages the sensor failure caused regardless of the dealership and manufacturers neglected warranty claim. The original call for a claim was made while my vehicle was under ******* km. I have case file numbers for both attempts to contact *** directly. As well as documented conversations and visits to Performance ******** dealership **************, *******. I am a mobile bicycle repair business owner as well as daily driver. I purchased the vehicle new and in good faith that warranties would be honoured and my experience with purchasing a new vehicle would be at the very least, a fair experience. This is not been the case for the entire duration of purchasing and owning my vehicle (Ram Promaster City SLT) since late 2020. I feel it is unjust that I should be made to pay for long-term damages to my vehicle caused by equipment that failed while under warranty and not due to negligence. Especially given the many attempts to address the issue in the past already. Current kilometres should not factor into this warranty claim. Focus should be on the amount of kilometres on the vehicle when the first case file was opened. I have both case file numbers past and present for reference.Business Response

Complaint: 23265532
I am rejecting this response because the Powertrain warranty was still in effect at the time my radiator sensor was deemed faulty and had already caused my vehicle to overheat, subsequently resulting in engine head warpage and long term damage to the head gasket causing coolant to leak into the cylinders.
I was rejected warranty repairs at the service centre in Performance Chrysler in ************* (reason for lack of records) as well as I was told by *** the sensor was not considered a powertrain issue. It clearly is as it directly affects the safe and reliable operation of the vehicle.
The radiator sensor was exchanged at my own personal expense at Two Guys Garage in **********************. But not before the resulting damage was done.I am just not attempting to adress the concerns due to check engine light warnings and low oil pressure. However this is a concern dating from last year when I was still under warranty. Current mileage is irrelevant and should not be factored.
I have service documents dating from when the faulty radiator sensor was replaced. Available upon request. Anyone With an understanding of engines will understand when a radiator sensor is faulty and engine will overheat. The cascading effect is well documented. I would appreciate A level of professionalism with this issue.
Sincerely,
****** *****Business Response

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention again. We have advised the customer that the warranty for the radiator was 3 years or 60 000 kms whichever occurs first. This component is not covered by the powertrain warranty. We have also reiterated that the engine warranty is expired now and there was no engine diagnosis nor repair at Performance ******** or any other *** dealership during the powertrain warranty period. All warranty repairs must be done at an *** dealership and *** doesn't work with independent facilities.Initial Complaint

I purchased my vehicle from an authorized dealership in 2022. In May 2023, a paint defect was identified by FCA/Stellantis on a small side panel of the vehicle, for which the repair was covered by FCA/Stellantis. 2 months after this repair was completed, the paint defect issue started again on adjacent panel. When I called to inquire if this could be repaired as it is a known defect admittedly by the manufacturer, I was told no as I am now past their warranty period. I disagree with this decision entirely, as this is a known defect with the make and model of my vehicle, the repair was previously covered as the defect was identified by FCA/Stellantis DURING the warranty period, and the issue is occurring on the same panel type with the same paint. My request is that this repair be covered by FCA/Stellantis as fault was already acknowledged by a defected product.Business Response

On 14 February 2025 the check engine light on my 2018 RAM 1500 SLT QUAD CAB 4X4 Eco Diesel came on due to a Crankcase Position Sensor Failure. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership the same afternoon, where they suggested I call *** (*************************) to inquire if FCA would cover the costs of repair as it was a known issue. *** was called that evening and I was assigned case number ********. On Tue 18 Feb 2025 I received a call from *** stating that they would not cover the cost of repairs. The vehicle was subject to a "66A" recall in November 2023. The recall is outlined below:New Safety Recall Advanced Communication 66A ********** (*** US) has announced a safety recall on certain ********* MY Ram 1500 and ********* MY Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with a 3.0L diesel engine.REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL Some of the above vehicles may have been built with engines that may have the magnetic signal material delaminate from the body of the tone wheel.The magnetic material attached to the reluctor wheel provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor. If this signal material is lost, the engine loses its ability to synchronize injector pulses and cam timing. This loss of crankshaft position can result in an engine stall, as well as loss of the ability to restart the engine. A loss of motive power can cause a vehicle crash without prior warning.SERVICE ACTION *** US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected vehicles to update the powertrain control module software to maintain vehicle propulsion by reading the camshaft position signal in the event that crankshaft position signal is lost. The remedy for this condition is not currently available. As this was a known issue by *** and the recall was a temporary fix in case the part did fail I believe that *** should be responsible for the repair costs.Sincerely **** ReadBusiness Response

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Our customer has been notified that within the warranty, FCA Canada will not hesitate to assume the crankcase position sensor repair costs. However, after the warranty terms have been exceeded, any charges are the responsibility of the vehicle owner. The warranty coverage for this repair expired and the repair is not related to the recall 66A. The recall 66A has been completed on this vehicle on November 8, 2023. The repair procedure was the reprogramming of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to maintain engine operation if the signal material is lost. The recall doesn't include the crankcase position sensor replacement and there are no other incomplete recalls on this vehicle.

I am rejecting this response because:The warranty coverage requested for this repair is related to the recall 66A. The repair procedure was the reprogramming of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to maintain engine operation if the signal material is lost. The signal material was lost as was forecasted as being very likely to occur by ***. The 66A recall did not include the crankcase position sensor replacement, as from my understanding from my local dealer, when I took the vehicle in on Nov 23, while still under warranty, there was no repair available. Yes, the vehicle is out of warranty now but I sincerely believe my issue is a continuation, and likely result, of the original 66A issue/recall and therefore should still be covered. As I stated previously I find it very strange that a company would issue a recall for a known issue, and then could or would not supply the parts to properly fix the issue on a part that they obviously knew would fail.

We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention again. We have contacted our customer to advise that according to the recall 66A letter the magnetic material attached to the tone wheel on the vehicle that provides a signal to the crankshaft position sensor may be lost. However in this case it was determined by the dealership that there was nothing wrong with the magnetic material attached to the tone wheel but it was the crankshaft sensor that failed and this part isn't covered under the recall.

I purchsed a 2023 ram rebel 1500 truck from a dodge dealer here in ************ , in the winter time i have a burning rubber smell coming into my truck to the point that i have to put my windows down they say its comimh from the salt on the roads , i have taken the truck back a number of times and they changed a bunch of parts which nothing fixed it, i was told by FCA canada maybe i shouldnt drive the truck when there is salt on the roads, the dealer lakeview chrysler has told me they dont know what the problem is so they cant fix it i was told to take my truck somewhere else, i have asked a number of times about this issue and was told they cant do anything to fix it so just deal with it. To pay $96000 for a truck and to be told dont drive it in the winter or dont bring it back to the dealer because they cant fix it is ridiculous.

also I talked to ***** at lakeview today and he told me a different story If the conversation between them I was told that he said the truck has a problem and need engineers to get involved and that they want to scan the truck again and submit a star case but yet the response from stlantis stated that there is nothing wrong with the truck and no repairs required maybe we should have a 3 way call between partys because someone is lying to me and seems like they dont want to take responsibility for a factory defected truck I just want my truck fixed so someone needs to tell me the truth about whats going on here

I had purchased a new Jeep Grand Cherokee 2018 Overland 4x4. In mid 2024 my touch screen had started to delaminate, getting so bad I can no longer operate the vehicle with my screen on, keeping in mind I am out of Basic Warranty but the vehicle has less then ****** km ( indicating the screen has not had a significant amount of use and the part is clearly defective ). I was in contact with *** in summer 2024. I was told that this is a known problem with the yr/make/model and that *** has been approving new screens, free of charge based on the history of failing part. I was directed to pay the outlandish fee of $ ****** for a diagnostic through my local dealer, in turn they would work with me and dealership on financial assistance for either or full replacement or a significant contribution in % to help assist with the problem. I became ill, required surgery and recovery time. I finally was healthy enough to start dealing with built up issues. Here, Jan 2025, I have finally been able to afford, in both finances and time, to have this diagnostic take place but *** has no record of my previous conversation and/or file number. I am now being told my vehicle is out of warranty by over the limit of 1 year. I am now being told the cost of the new screen will be on my shoulders. I can see the dozens and dozens of complaints indicating that customers are having the same problem, i have been told this is a known issue. Why has *** not created a recall for this matter ? I think this should be addressed as a recall given the high amount of people that are experiencing this. The screen replacement is a upwards of $ *******, something very few people have additional to living expenses these days. I pay a lot of money to have this vehicle and I cannot use a verry important function now. Something needs to addressed. I am more then unhappy.Business Response

Warranty Claim (Corrosion) with FCA (Jeep) Canada - Started in Spring of 2024. Approved in September of 2024 by ***. *** has indicated the repair requires a 3rd party body shop to complete. They have informed the dealer (and thus my-self) that they will not pay to have the work completed - which essentially means they are not addressing the acknowledged warranty issue. I have left 9 messages over the past 30 days and never received so much as a call back regarding this. I understand this to involve all Jeep Wrangler models from 2019 *****. I understand that they do not have enough parts to supply for the repairs, nor it seems, enough money to pay for the repairs they state are required. This leaves me with a $50k jeep that is unsellable and so almost worthless.Business Response
