My 2013 Laramie is in the shop.... YUCK!

[MACH]

Well after my laundry list of items finally got big enough I brought her in yesterday..

Finding a solution to the Tranny Lines whooshing at low RPM
Center screen keeps locking up and locks up all controls
Memory error keeps popping up on EVIC
clicking in steering column when turning both ways
Inside vent liner fell down in drivers side defrost
Center screen lost dimming functionality
Rear bumper already has rust and wasn't completly chromed. While cleaning it the whole top edge is black. Not sure how I missed it other than it was -20F out and I was in a hurry! Problem is they couldn't find the part ANYWHERE and have to get if direct from the factory and it takes 4 days to get..


They called today and said the RFA Module in the Uconnect radio electronics was failed. They're hoping it is causeing all of the electrical issues and screen errors and lockups.

Broken spring in the stearing column - replaced

Fixed the vent liner

And waiting to hear if they're going to cover the bumper under warranty. I will be pretty fired up if it isn't! It looks like crap! With only 1600 miles on it, it should not be rusting!


Sometimes I almost regret getting rid of my silverado now... Hopefully this is the last of any problems.

Anyone else had this RF module replaced in there 2013???

Holy crap! Sounds like you got a Monday morning truck!
I really hope that fixes you up. I've had virtually no issues with my '11

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

No issues with my 12 yet and I'm up to 6K miles! You definitely just got the unlucky one.

Wow that's brutal! I've only found a few small things wrong with my truck, and my dealer is being great so far about covering them. Only exterior problem is the side steps are rusting already. I'm taking it in next week for them to document it- they're aftermarket steps that the dealer put on. Only had it since October and I'm up to almost 17000km haha

Can I ask what you expect from the dealer? We have the same aftermarket steps with rust at under 11,000km (8 months) but my understanding was only stock steps would be covered under warranty if installed prior to delivery?

@OP- sorry to hear your troubles. I'm not a domestic believer AT ALL and I'm quite pleased with our truck so far, Hope they fix everything to your satisfaction.

If they don't cover that rust ask them if the cover it once it rusted through. I think all car company do on through rust. Take some rock salt an duck tape it on there and kick the rust in high gear.

That's a lot of issues. I hope they take care of you. I haven't really had any issues with my 2011 outside of having the brakes totally replaced at 16k as they were squeeling. It was mostly an annoyance thing as the brakes worked perfectly fine. Other than that I'm almost to 33k miles free of issues (knock on wood).

 

[Noved]

3rd Ram no major issues like others have said maybe its was a Friday night or Monday Morning truck so to speak. I hope they take care of you and your truck should be fine too. I also think you made a good decision on the Ram over the Silverado in the long run.

Only problem with mine so far is I noticed slight moisture inside one of my headlights, I'll have to keep an eye on it.

 

[audio1der]

^20 minutes to run a bead of clear silicone around both lenses= no more problems. I know you could fight to warranty it, but that would take some driving and more than 20 min of your time.

 

[dsw1519]

It looks like the bumper rust has been an issue for a few members, so that is something to keep an eye on (as well as to keep fresh wax on it).

 

[BAILEY1]

That suck to hear about your truck bro. I hope the dealership gets it fixed for ya.

 

[MACH]

Truck is STILL at the dealer waiting for parts!

I did get a call and they said the bumper is covered. It is not part of the digital review from chrysler.

Hoping the parts came in today. I need my truck back soon as I am headed up north fishing for a week. I need to role in style and not in a silverado! lol

Not 100% sure what exactly they can do about it, but I believe that they will document it then either the dealer or myself will have to talk to the company that made the steps. I'm actually not even sure what brand they are
