    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    Yes, I feel that for the price of the truck, I shouldn't have any smell coming from the engine. Also, when you talk to Chrysler and they act like they've never heard of this issue and tell me to work with my dealership until they figure it out. Went there 4 times and they couldn't figure it...

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    As of today, I still haven't received any word from Chrysler on what they plan to do. I am very disappointed in their handling of this situation. I have recently gotten rid of the 2019 ram rebel that I purchased back in December of 2018. I will never buy another ram truck again. Horrible...

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    I'm still waiting to see what Chrysler is going to do. I called Chrysler cares last night and they claim that they have never even heard of this problem and have no idea what would be causing it. Very frustrating and I'm cautious to get another ram truck and it smell like this one.

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    Yes, they flushed the system as well. I talked to my dealer today and they told me that Chrysler is aware of this problem and is trying to work on a solution and ask that I be patient. Sounds like a typical response to a problem. Kind of like having a recall and the parts aren't available...

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    The dealer completed the work by putting a new radiator hose with a heat shield covering it. I got the truck back last night and I drove it anywhere I went today and unfortunately, I am still smelling that weed / skunk smell. It's not as bad, but I still smell it. I feel for the price of the...

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    The dealer hasn't completed the work yet. They are waiting on the parts. FCA told them 3 days for the part to get here. The truck has been there 2 weeks and FCA is not rushing to remedy the problem. I've already told my dealer that if this doesn't work, they can have the truck back.

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    My dealership finally got FCA to agree to replacing radiator hoses and flush the coolant as well. This is the next step. If this doesn't fix the problem, I'm not sure what the next step will be. FCA didn't want to admit that this was a problem at first, then they said they have had other...

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    I drove a ram 1500 big horn yesterday and I didn't have any smell at all from it. I am going to test drive another ram rebel today and see what happens.

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    Yes, it does smell like weed to a degree. I have taken the truck to the dealer twice and they can't figure it out. Very frustrating.

    The smell comes from the engine and you can smell it in the cab sometimes.

    Engine smell for 2019 ram rebel

    I recently purchased a 2019 Ram Rebel back in December 2018. I have 900 miles on the truck and I am getting a smell from the engine when it heats up and it smells like a skunk. It has been to the dealer twice and they can't figure it out. I didn't know if anyone else has encountered this type...
