    Front bumper cover loose. Normal?

    So I was out yesterday washing and waxing the RAM. I noticed the top plastic/painted portion above the chrome bumper (the bumper part that is just below the grill and headlights) is loose. I could jiggle it around kinda flapping up and down... Is this normal? I checked my buddies 2016 RAM and...

    Wheel caps keep breaking and falling off.

    They are OEM.. No signs of theft.. One actually fell out in the parking lot at my office. Realized it after I ran over it. One flew off on the highway on my way home from Austin. The third fell off in the parking lot at the body shop while it was in getting the fender flair issues resolved.

    Yes it does.

    Wheel caps keep breaking and falling off.

    Yeah it's odd.. Dealer agrees that it is odd as well. They replaced this one under warranty as well. Not sure what's causing it. To me it seems like they are just getting too hot and the tabs are breaking off. There is no evidence of foul play like someone trying to take them off. As for the...

    Yes. They are the OEM 20" optional wheel. OEM caps. They are just abs plastic with the metal ring.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    More rattles than my Ford. The bump/surge shifting issue. Wheel caps keep breaking and falling out of black 20" factory rims. Dim head lights.

    Wheel caps keep breaking and falling off.

    So yeah. It's happened for the third time now. Another one of my wheel center caps broke off and I found it laying in the parking lot.. I hate to say it, but the quality so far in this truck has been poor in comparison to my former Ford trucks.. I love how the cap says "Made in China" on the...

    8 speed transmission problems, or just how it is?

    So. I have that annoying bump stop. 5.7L with 8spd. 2018 RAM 1500. Everyone mentions this issue.. But what about that annoying "bump" "surge" when you first let off of the brake before giving it any gas. Feels like a the trans drops or rear end relaxes down... maybe a stop neutral?? Anyone else?

    Hard shifting\deceleration

    So what is the secret?? It's making me crazy. I really don't like the surge/clunk when you first let off the brake after a stop.

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    Yeah.. It's crazyness.. Side note - The original fenders that were removed were in my backseat when I picked it up yesterday. Not sure how they could reuse them.. Body shop said they're not reusable once removed.. Three reasons 1) The pry marks dent the plastic upon removal. 2) They would have...

    I asked them to do it. It was the purchased Life Time Standard Oil change package. I used it once. They refunded me the prorated amount.

    Update - RESOLVED! Truck is now back to near perfect :banana-mario: Thank you Jack Winslow! This is the kind of work that helps keeps this country great! I also had a long talk with both GM's at the dealer about not doing the work right the first time and then having the service manager gripe at...

    BTW - I just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to everyone that has responded. I have learned a lot from this adventure already! 1) Will take to my trusted mechanic for maintenance.. 2) Will be finding a more trusted dealer for any future warranty work.

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    Update - So 2 out of 7 fender flares are actually usable!! Wow! I hope this is not the norm for MOPAR! Also, the service manager griped ME out on the phone for sending a scathing negative survey! WTF?? Yeah, proceeded to call finance and have them credit me back for my maintenance plan!! I will...

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    True.. Funny part is.. The first go round.. Painted almost exactly right.. but incorrectly installed.. My body shop has worked on both of my wife's BMW's. I could never see the difference even in different lighting.. So I'm hoping they can do the same for me. Factory defect should be replaced...

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    UPDATE - - So I went to pick it up on Friday. As expected, It still was not correct. Plastic chipped on passenger side flair and both flairs were painted an incorrect color!! Soooo. I did get a loaner truck finally. I also negotiated them sending new flairs and truck to the body shop of my...

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    EXACTLY! Thank you! Still don't have my truck back. Still don't have a loaner/rental!! I will not be doing any more business with this dealer once my truck is fixed.. I am just finding out that they have a pretty bad service reputation in our town.. College Station, TX. There are a lot of Aggies...

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    They are repairing mine under warranty. It's just been crappy work. I will continue to refuse it until it's done correctly. Correctly installed with black adhesive and where it looks uniform with the body just like the front ones do. I never noticed the adhesive before without getting very close...

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    Just leaves me without a vehicle for several days 3-5 for a factory workmanship issue. Not a dealer installed item. I'll make do, but it just adds to the aggravation.

    So this is happening. Dealer repair issues - Faulty fender flair

    So I spoke with them yesterday. They are now replacing both sides with new ones. I'm not holding my breath. I will not accept them using grey 3M tape and I will be making sure the mud flaps are reinstalled correctly. This is the Harvest edition so all of this was factory installed... Not sure...

    Dealer oil changes - Marking filters - Who does it?

    I was informed that it's their standard "Non" synthetic oil changes since that's all it calls for from manufacturer.
