I am one of the many lucky RAM 1500 owners who experienced water leaking in the back window, a known issue going back some time from my research. My truck is a 2020 Limited with just under 35k miles. Just out of factory warranty. Well, the estimate came back at $13k. Not only does the back window need replaced, but the water ruined the RF Hub and eTorque battery. Not only am I just outside the factory warranty my extended warranty will not cover it either. Furthermore, my model truck just happens to NOT be covered under the extended warranty RAM issued for these rear window leaks, although they recognize the issue and “see it all the time.”
Everything I read says this is not a recall scenario because it does not create a safety concern. This makes me wonder if there are any safety concerns related to a malfunctioning RF Hub or eTorque battery. Thought I would put this out there to see if anyone smarter than I might know of any safety concerns that could result from water leaking onto a poorly placed RF Hub and eTorque battery when RAM knows the back window has issues with leaking. If this issue would create a safety concern I suspect they would have to recall ALL those trucks in 2019-2020 that have emerge batteries and all new models since this is now in every truck. Somewhat grasping at straws here, but the entire situation is not right. Thoughts?
