2014 Ram 1500. Just hit 36500 and the buttons on driver door front windows buttons and power mirror buttons quit working. Rear windows still worked from my button panel. Of course it goes out after 36000 but did buy the life time bumper to bumper. Still out 100 bucks. Anyone with a 2014 model have there's go out? Sent Dodge Ram folks a nasty email showing my displeasure of a part going out so fast.

Hi Bearcatrp,

I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. If there's anything I can do to help facilitate the repair, please don't hesitate to reach out in a PM with your VIN!

Not much you can do but thanks for the offer. Have owned new 2004 jeep liberty, new 2008 jeep wrangler with zero issues up to 60,000 miles. That was strike one for that repair. Strike 2 is a re-occurring check engine light for the same thing. One more and will be going back to GM after 13 years with Chrysler.

This stuff is not made in heaven. Things break. I had to replace the drivers side window switch, HVAC controls, and blower resistor all before 80K miles. It was all real easy to fix with the most expensive part being the HVAC at about $130.
Check RockAuto for a new door switch for reference. It might be worth swapping out. If you didn't have the extended warranty it sure would be more than $100.

Had them replace it with my $100 deductible. Am now at dealer again for another evac leak. Last one was early January with under 36000 miles. Since it's a different part, of course I have to pay $100. Sure these trucks aren't made in heaven but 2 god dam repairs under 50,000 miles that I have to pay is unexceptable! Plus they tell me my gas cap won't tighten properly to seal the tank. Sorry but it's a **** and will not get nickeled and dimed! Strike 3 and 4. Will be trading this **** off and going back to GM! Both my new 2004 jeep liberty and new 2008 jeep wrangler never had one issue until after 60,000 miles.

The window switch is a $50-60 part... might be better off and just buy a new switch.

GM trucks have just as many problems, every manufacturer has problems.
