I experienced an issue with a ticking noise coming from the engine. I took the truck to a local repair shop and they indicated that the problem was an issue with the valves not getting enough lubrication.

They indicated that a company has patented a change to the part that squirts oil onto the valves to correct the issue. To fix the issue I had to have the engine replaced. If I had not replaced the engine to correct the issue the engine could have seized or broken down while I was driving.

On [XXX], I was driving my 2015 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel in [XXX] when all of the sudden it will not accelerate and a check engine lamp illuminated. It was a near-miss to getting into an accident because the truck drastically slowed-down and wouldn't continue to accelerate. Due to the urgency of the situation, I was prompted to bring the truck over to the nearest Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM dealership in Ontario. Scan diagnostics was initially performed and P0336 - Crankshaft Position Sensor Performance was detected. CDJR Dealership in Ontario further found out delamination and broken pieces on crankshaft tone wheel but only have addressed the recall pertaining to fuel pump (Recall No. 22V406000). The truck would exhibit prolong cranking followed by a "Service Electronic Throttle Control" warning sign that pops-up in the dashboard every time an attempt to start the engine will be made. This have been duplicated when at the dealership and multiple times after [XXX]. I have later found out that there was a prior recall associated with Loss of Crankshaft Position (Recall No.W58) that was launched back in August 20, 2020, however, the corrective measure didn't include parts replacement but only reprogramming. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles have: Service Recall W58/NHTSA 20V-475 that have been APPLIED (launched in March 20th, 2020; Repaired in March 13th, 2021 - reprogramming), and also Service Recall 66A / NHTSA 23V-411 that the dealership is NOT WANTING TO APPLY or COVER (launched in June 7th, 2023 - parts replacement). As such, there is a disconnect between the two Safety Recalls from Stellantis / FCA US LLC. Reference Weblinks: [XXX] Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2019 Ram 1500 and 2014-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles equipped with 3.0L Diesel engines. The crankshaft position sensor tone wheel may delaminate, causing the engine to lose its ability to synchronize the fuel injector INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle would not restart after being shut off, thereby leaving me stranded on the side of the road in an area without cell phone reception or through-traffic, which led to me having to walk 7 miles at night while in below-freezing temperatures to get help. The engine component that failed was the tone wheel (part of the crank position sensing system). It failed without any warning. This engine component was previously subject to a recall (W58) that did not address the primary issue, which is the component's manufacturing/design defect that renders the vehicle inoperable as soon as it occurs. This defect can create life-threatening situations for drivers and passengers inside these vehicles when the defect occurs in uninhabited areas, as well as other motorists if the defect occurs on busy roadways. Many others have reported experiencing the same problem in vehicles with relatively low mileage, which is unique to this particular engine.
