ill start out with, im young, just turned 21 and this is my first new vehicle. 2014 Ram 1500 Sport fully loaded.
I hit the ditch while hunting this fall and got yanked out by a buddy. the strap was wrapped around the tow hitch, behind the bumper. the strap moved and ended up ripping out my left license plate bulb, and pulled the trailer brake connector off the bumper, and bent the underside of teh bumper up a hair. you cant tell unless you actually get on your knees and look.
anyways so i went to the dealership at 8am and dropped my truck off to fix the bulb and connector, as well as replace the power window seal cause its falling off.
i called them at 430 and they just started to look at my truck. at 445 i went in to see how things were going and they sat me down and told me that i bent the bracket that holds the connector in and i need a new bumper cause the bracket is part of the bumper. also they didnt have parts for the light bulb, and the guy that does the window seal "left"
so basically my truck was there all day and nothing happened to it. i asked why the seal wasnt done and all the guy could say is that the guy left. well the truck was there all ******* day and he just left it?
so i got home and looked at the bracket in question, and its bent 1/8" towards the rear of the truck, and is easily bent back in place.
i also got billed $92 for them to tell me all this. im not going to this dealership again and gave them a bad review on facebook. i think they were trying to pull the wool over my eyes cause im young.
so i decided im gonna just do it myself. i have ordered a 194 pigtail from ebay, and i am trying to track down the part # for the 2 brackets that hold the connector to the bumper bracket. ill have to get the seal done under warranty.
im just angry and needed a rant.
