Hello & welcome to my nightmare lol. I dont even know how to get this started so Im just going to get into it. I am on my second year of owner ship of a 2020 Ram 1500’classic SLT Crew Cab (Ontario) after driving this off a dealer lot last April. Its only
Got 35,000 km on it. Ive maintained it to the highest level only to notice some things the last few days. Not only has my hood pitted rust on the under side, its now bubbling on the surface. The quarter panel has wholes appearing in the paint as if moisture is literally trying to eat its way through. Spots of corrosion or rust coming through the Hemi badge letters (in-between). Now If thats not poopy after replacing an entire steering rack recently which failed causing an incident with my self & a highway exit . I now noticed the inside passenger side door lip (third exterior part) is not only peeling its chipping & cracking! Im beyond shocked and honestly if I didn't extend the warranty I would be bankrupt and out of a vehicle. While considering all that does anyone really want to replace there vehicle piece by piece knowing its gotta be torn apart… “ yes its covered which i pay for via payments” i then wonder why even buy a vehicle if all that Ram sells is problems?” I already know its future” oh & then theres the rental Ill need plus deposit while its in for body work and new parts but this is not considering time or jobs that pay for these vehicles but Heres the cherry On top for me, the original Dealer pushed me off sending me else where because they cant handle the smoke. Ive contacted FCA and 0 answers. Im here with this headache wondering what others would do? & or is there a anyone else enduring the same issue so early? All opinions welcomed.
(Yes everything seems minimal but remember this is rust thats pitted on a 58,000 dollar truck which Im suppose to pay for LoL)
