Well, I think they said they did. In 2021. And then again in 2022. Permatex. Okay, Permatex AND a Class Action Lawsuit (<- the goal being recompense for ANY expense due to leaks, AND lifetime replacement and damage coverage.) After 100 years of mass-produced automobile glass, leaking seams...

I don't have a good financial argument for my EcoDiesel. ;) When I tow (a light trailer, about 3-4,000 lbs MAX, usually more like 2,000-3,000 lbs, but it has a large 6'x4' ramp that creates a LOT of highway drag), the EcoDiesel acts like it's not even there. The low-end torque and the easy...

I've used Power Service in several diesels. Grey or white, depending on the temp. About 1 1/2 million total diesel miles. All good. For my EcoDiesel, I'm using Amsoil. Why change? Well, I'm curious. I'm -still- using the Power Service in my TDi, but my truck gets a 50/50 mix of the Amsoil...

Nothing. Just the mechanical sounds (if any) of a door unlatching and opening.

My speaker doesn't pop. My son's 2022 Big Horn speaker doesn't pop.

That dealership is feeding him a line.

Contact a lawyer. Have that lawyer contact the dealership.

Keep track of all the failures. Best if you can record it as they occur. Then look up your state's lemon law. Contact an attorney. THEN contact the dealer.

Like @mikeru82 just said, buy the light yourself. There are some discount sellers of oem equipment out there. Less than $50...heck, I think it's less than $30. And, get some permatex (the stuff we've talked about upstream) and caulk the outside of the window. That -should- fix it. (FWIW, my...

Lawyer? Join the class action lawsuit (when able)? Contact a local news channel and link them to all the reports of leaking windows on this forum?

I guess the journalists didn't store their gear in the rear passenger area during a rainstorm. Or else it would have gotten soaked due to the widespread leaking rear window issue. RAM needs to publicly address this and extend the warranty on it.

I think a modification of the rear bulkhead is in order. I wonder how difficult it would be to add waterproofing, or water routing, onto or around the various boxes bolted to the rear bulkhead? If I get another rear window leak, the moldy carpet is bad enough: I can't imagine the pain of having...

Oil is life for diesels.

LOL. My son has a 22 Big Horn with factory-supplied McGard security lugs, one on each wheel. Like an imbecile, he lost the key. I gave him some of my spare, normal, lugs. He's stopping by a dealership today or tomorrow to have the locks removed. Do you want them? (Again, no key, but that's...

I'd do the same. Unbelievable. This window leak issue seems to be pretty widespread, as is the damage that occurs because of it. I'd think a bit of internal waterproofing would be instituted, immediately, for all in-production vehicles, and an open acknowledgement of the problem should have...

Ditto. Winter blend has affected my mpg, significantly, on both EcoDiesel and VW TDi.

They don't pay. I've kept my records and will use them when the class-action lawsuit comes down.

Good. I've been hearing that we've been at "peak oil" since the early '70s. Shrug. (Not sure whether or not petroleum (hydrocarbons) are actually formed from squished dinosaurs and plants. That's a theory that was posited about 150 years ago and since accepted for fact. Note, I'm also NOT...

Supposedly, the "fix" was implemented in mid-2019 model year production. Obviously, it didn't work. (The frame cracking that's visible from inside the cab may be fixed, but not the leak.) My 2021 took about a year to show a leak.

Okay, I was right. :) True. But whereas a barrel of petroleum contains FAR more energy than it takes to drill it, pump it, refine it, and transport it, the same cannot be said for the energy extracted from the hydrogen cycle. Yes, fusion is the future. Fission is an excellent bridge until we...
