I'm trying to get advice on something with the 2010 Ram I just bought about 2 weeks ago. I love the truck so far besides the list of things I have uncovered wrong with it. I know it is used but a few should have been caught during pre sale inspection. This may get long and I may ramble.....ha
Anyways I bought the truck with around 59k miles. The oil change light turned on day 2 of ownership so I figured an oil change was never done before sale or it just didn't get reset. So when I had the truck back at the dealership for 2 leaking rear tires, replacing the non functional back up camera, replacing a dead license plate bulb and a dead cargo light bulb I asked for any pre sale maintenance records. I get them and it states Oil change, State inspection, both cv shafts, front and rear pads and rotors, both sway bar links, balance all 4 tires, and alignment @ 58783 miles. The alignment was never completed due to machine down, stated on the maintenance records.
So after taking the truck for a trip at highway speeds, I had a horrible shake and a slight pull to the left. Shake was enough that I wanted to give the truck back. I had read stories about issues like this and I was a little concerned so I brought it in to the dealership to have the alignment completed. And recheck the rear tires as they still had a slow leak.
It appears the leaks have been fixed along with the shake. We shall see how long it lasts.
Yesterday I was looking at my engine and noticed a K&N oil filter. I thought that was odd as what dealership uses K&N filters for an everyday oil change. Not where I bought my truck. Anyways I pull out that maintenance record to check the part # for the oil filter that was supposedly used. Well its 4884899-AC. Guess what its a Mopar filter. Hmmmm! I begin to wonder if an oil change ever got completed.
If this didn't bother me enough I told my dealer I was bringing the truck to my personal mechanic to do a one over on it. They said they would fix whatever is found. Did I or do I believe it, IDK! Should have gotten it on paper! The one over was today and I get a call saying all is good except the driver side CV Shaft is bad. I again pull out the maintenance record I have and it shows as completed at 58783 miles, I am currently just over 60k miles. My mechanic says it doesn't appear to have ever been replaced.
At this point I'm a little pissed off but maybe I'm in the wrong. Idk. If it were you how would you handle this? The oil change issue almost bothers me more as it was so easy to catch....
