I bought my 2017 Ecodiesel in April of 2018 at a significant discount from MSRP due to "Dieselgate" with VW and then modified software on these. They were held up for months so that the software could be corrected, so by the time they were available for purchase there was a massive overstock on them. With the complete re-design for the 2019 models, dealers were looking to get these moved out and offered big incentives to do so (up to $20,000 off). There have also been some recalls for a few things, but nothing that has seemed to go wrong on my vehicle, but I took it in to get everything addressed for the recalls. That being said, I haven't had any issues with the truck not working at any time and it is one of the most comfortable riding vehicles I've owned, especially on longer trips. The little diesel engine gets excellent milage on the freeway (about 28 mpg) and about 20 around town. Seats have coolers and heaters, the steering wheel also has a heater, auto start, good lumbar support, a nice sound system, "Millenium Falcon" style ice boxes under the rear passenger floor spots, and a lot of other features that even new trucks don't have. Plus I am not having to "rent" services that came in my truck like a lot of new vehicles force people into. It hauls what I need it to haul, tows what I need it to tow, and drives where I need it to go. Does what a truck should and with comfort to boot.

My truck has less than 78,000 miles.
My truck has less than 78,000 miles. The oil cooler has had to be replaced. Now the steering is broke. The steering is does have a steering fluid reservoir. It is electrical. The part to fix it is $1,700, not including the hundreds in labor. What's next? I will never buy a Dodge ever again. Every American vehicle I have ever bought has been a garbage.

Recall the u-connect system on this nice vehicle
The u connect system is not working properly. It should be recalled. Company should replace the system it control too many in the vehicle. Control bouncing all over the place. For the dealer to look at the truck it's almost $200. And $1300_$1400 to replace. Beautiful truck but awful system. For the price we pay it a shameful to pay for this repair
