Within two weeks of purchasing the 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 slt reg w/ turbo, (delivery date of 07/12/07) the check engine light came on. The dealership we purchased from said not to worry about it unless it came on permanently. On 07/27/07, took truck in for left speaker issue & check engine, they just cleared the codes for the check engine light. Took back 08/27/07, engine code P254A, cleaned sensor. Called dealer 09/15/07, "check engine' light back on for longer than 3 days, they said not to worry about it as long as the light was not flashing or staying on. Called them 09/27/07, took truck back 10/03/07, check engine light codes P2262, they performed carbon clearing procedure. Took truck back on 10/08/07, they did not make note of check engine code on work order, but they wrote turbo assy. Failure, replaced and cleared code. On 11/30/07, check engine light on again, performed emissions recall and sensor and reprogram ECM. During 12/07 thru 01/08, check engine light still remained on most of the time, but was extremely busy working plowing snow and could not take back until 02/01/08, engine code P1451. They did "flash ECM as per tsb. By this time thoroughly upset with truck, manufacturer, etc. Engine light remained on again 03/08 through 06/08. On 07/03/08 took back again, engine code P2262 and P2000. They performed computer update. Again light on almost from onset of last visit. On 08/19/08, engine light, code P2000, they performed flash update to engine control. Picked up truck on 08/19/08, and check engine light came on 08/21/08. They could not get truck in until today 08/25/08. Truck still there tonight as the code came up that stated they needed to once again clean and they could not get it done today. (note: They did not tell me over the phone what code came up, just that they had to clean the turbo. We, my dad and I and my mom have lost considerable money in lost work time in having to take truck for repair, let alone the inconvenience of it all!
