    Does anybody know that if their RAM 1500 was built before July it's not as safe as newer ones?

    Was bought new from a dealer. If the damage is below a certain $ threshold they don't need to disclose, and if a dealer fixed it themselves it would be pretty easy to get it under whatever number that needed to be. Truck is gone...traded for a 2019 F-150. It's nice driving a truck that...

    Does anybody know that if their RAM 1500 was built before July it's not as safe as newer ones?

    The safety issue has been a concern from day 1. When my passenger door started going out of alignment and getting stuck every couple of weeks and then my rear window frame cracked and leaked water all over my headliner and 2 year old son, everything else became a concern. Attorney suggested I...

    How could they not have to disclose that there’s no warranty? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does anybody know that if their RAM 1500 was built before July it's not as safe as newer ones?

    I don’t really have buyers remorse. I love driving my truck and don’t really like the two alternatives as much. Just don’t like paying almost $60k on a vehicle that was in some sort of altercation and has spent more than a month out of 7 in the shop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Does anybody know that if their RAM 1500 was built before July it's not as safe as newer ones?

    They are not doing the right thing without being forced to. Got verification today from not one, but two body shops that a large part of my truck was painted. They both showed me the same tape line and overspray all over the hood gaskets. :-(. No disclosure was provided when I purchased my...

    My truck was actually built 4/24/18. Yes, it is was a typo. And something was changed for safety reasons and there’s no crash test data on trucks built prior to July 2018. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have no idea....but that's the earliest date available in the Philadelphia area. The attorney said they typically settle long before that though.

    Not sure how I could not drive it until April when the arbitration date is. It’s my daily driver....how I get to work and cart my kids around. The mileage only counts until the first repair attempt / complaint which was about 237 after I took delivery....they deduct 10 cents a mile so $23.70...

    If you park it and leave it it’s considered a voluntary repossession and terminates your loan and screws up your credit. They can also charge you storage fees, etc. lawyer says you have to keep it and keep making payments till it’s over, and pick it up when they tell you it’s fixed. Sent...

    I have connections at Slashgear and Autoblog, but at the advice of my attorney I haven’t pulled the trigger. It lemon law doesn’t pan out I’ll do it but don’t want to jeopardize that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Incessant problems with 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie - Terrible Ownership Experience

    It just feels very spiteful on their part. This is the first I’m hearing that it’s my problem because it was a demo. It was bought as a new car with a new title. I was told I wasn’t forfeiting any new car buyer rights. The lawyer agrees and FCA unwillingness to repair it under their own...

    I have it back, but it needs to go back for another 2-3 days for a headliner replacement and to do the brakes again as they’re not fixed. They still squeak just as much as the day I got the truck. :-( Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Incessant problems with 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie - Terrible Ownership Experience

    Ok....so here's an interesting update. The dealership finally got FCA to call them back. They told them since the truck was a "demo" with 1,600 miles on it when I purchased it, they'll never buy it back. So, the truck has a NEW car title, and nothing on my paperwork says that it was a demo...

    Incessant problems with 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie - Terrible Ownership Experience

    The GM of the dealership called me today and told me he and the service manager have both reached out to FCA corporate to recommend that they buy the vehicle back. They can’t promise me anything of course but at least we’re on the same page. They are also aware they’ll have to go through the...

    Thanks. I think it will work out one way or another. I just think FCA is prolonging the inevitable by pushing back on it and if they had created some good will by trying to work with me early on I’d be much more willing to try another RAM. Now I’m so annoyed I just want to take the check and...

    The dealership won’t pay anything....they didn’t build the vehicle. The manufacturer is obligated under PA law to pay the legal fees. I told the dealer if they’re helpful I’d consider taking a vehicle from them. This isn’t the dealer where I bought my truck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Talked to the service manager today who probably doesn’t want to see my truck again, but he said he’s going to call FCA corporate and recommend they “get me out of this vehicle because it’s never going to be the quality it should be.” Not sure if they’ll take his advice but told them it has to...

    So, after having my truck back less than 24 hours, I pull out of my driveway this morning, start off down the hill by my house and touch the brakes....SQUEEEEEEEEAK!! The parts they waited for the longest were the brake parts to fix just this! I was assured that this was fixed. WTF? I didn't...

    I told them anything involving a vehicle replacement has to involve the attorney, but I'm happy to have them facilitate that with FCA. If they really believe it should be bought back, then they need to tell FCA that and push it in that direction.

    Service manager finally called me at 4pm today and apologized profusely. He said he "doesn't know what happened." I told him that nobody at his dealership returned a call for 16 days the whole time my truck was sitting out in the rain and then their GM lied about it being inside, and FCA told...

    Yeah...it's pretty horrendous. The fact that it sat in one spot collecting more water and developing mildew when they tried to tell me it was inside for long stretches is BS. It smells like an old boat cabin.

    Lawyer advised me to pick it up and if it has to go back it’s yet another RO strengthening the lemon law case. The lawyer is also going to have their experts test for mold. They gave an independent third party that does that. They said you might not necessarily see mold that is growing in...

    Got my truck back this morning....27 total days in the shop. I dropped it off with a word doc with 12 items on it....they ignored 8 of them and didn't even put them on the RO! WTF? I refused to leave until they added them and put "did not address" for each of those items so it's documented...
