MVP won’t cover it. I tried as well. They kept saying “glass isn’t covered”. I had to remind them that it isn’t the glass, it’s the frame. They kept refusing. My defroster failed though and they replaced the window. Mine wasn’t leaking, but it was cracked so I figured it was a matter of time.

Just used all this great info to add passive entry to my 1500. Thank you everyone that put all this information together, and thank you Jimmy for the harnesses! It was a pain in the butt, though the outcome is worth it!

Weird. I got a whole new transmission. No runaround or anything. First they were thinking about valve body but when the tech got into it and found burnt fluid and debris they authorized a new trans immediately.

Yes, fully resolved. Dealer put in a whole new transmission. Ram paid for it all 100% under the power train warranty. Working fine since. I haven’t put many miles on it though, it’s just our spare vehicle/toy hauler.

Ram went to the dealer today. Replacing manifold, studs, etc. apparently studs broke and led to the leak. Though the service advisor said the manifold was good, the fact the studs broke wouldn’t that generally mean the manifold warped? So manifold put so much pressure on studs that they...

The saga continues with my CPO 2019 Ram Big Horn Hemi. Noticed the last time I went to drive it that it made a pretty sharp “clack” noise for quite a while after start up before settling down after a couple minutes and then sounded normal. Thought it might be because it sat for a while, it...

My 2019 is also having intermittent releasing problems. I thought it was because my tonneau cover but the wife just had an issue with the cover off and I’m 1,000 miles from home so I can’t help. Doesn’t seem like anyone has found a definitive answer. I’ll try the striker I guess and go from...

Supposedly trans guy was waiting on some parts for another vehicle, so he started on mine yesterday evening and finished it today. $8,900 tab paid out by Ram 😳. I’ll pick it up when I get back from vacation, either Saturday if I get back soon enough or Monday if I don’t.

And change of plans again today…service advisor states they talked to Ram again and guess the stacked codes warrant full transmission replacement. Hopes to be done Friday I guess. We’ll see…

Walking the last update back…FCA said no go on transmission, they want the valve body replaced first. So now waiting to find out what the timeline for that looks like. I assume as long as it’s available it is a couple hour job, new pan, and some new fluids…

Called the service advisor about my truck and sat on the phone for almost 25 minutes while he got the latest from the tech. Guess they got it to throw multiple codes and are getting approval to replace the trans. 1-2 days to get it and they’ll put it in provided it’s approved. Im on vacation...

This is my understanding as well. It makes no sense for the manufacturer to take on all the risk, so a dealer is supposed to make sure the vehicle has nothing “broken”.

Not being familiar with the various tests that are possible I can only hope the dealer would do their due diligence! Sounds like there is plenty they can check. battery is new and tested good according to Autozone, for what that’s worth anyway…but that was one of my first thoughts since it...

Yes, I drove it. Everything seemed fine. It was also CPO, not just “pre owned”. I think the certifying dealer just did a really crappy job. I wrongly trusted that it would be a solid vehicle. That was my experience with our CPO Infiniti. Everything had to work “like new”. Apparently to Ram...

Appreciate the feedback Dusty. It is indeed just P0733 and seems to just be specific circumstances. I’m thinking voltage related. First time it sat at the airport for a week and when I went to start the truck it went to ACC at my first press, then ON/RUN, then back to off. Next press it...

Taking a frustratingly long time, with a number of issues to get it fixed though. Steering wheel, passenger power mirror, cracked window frame, passenger rear door lock inoperable, transmission taking a dump…jumping through hoops along the way, not like with my Jeep and lifetime max care. I’ve...

So far my Ram is absolute garbage through and through though. I enjoy the truck “conceptually” tremendously, but it’s such a POS I’m almost wanting to just ditch it at this point and get a new F150…but shortages <sigh>. My DD is a 19 Expedition Max Platinum and that 3.5 Ecoboost is a...

Well, seems as though I’m headed for a new transmission…2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn 5.7 bought a month ago as a CPOV with 48K on it. Shifted funny twice, acting like it was hitting neutral before going into gear and then sticking in 3rd. Happened twice. Both times restarting the truck resolved the...

Mine has 2 cracks, not leaking, and FCA denying coverage. “Cosmetic issue”. Mine is on a CPO 3M/3K warranty right now and a 12M/12K Max Care since it is out of factory warranty and neither apparently will take care of it. Bummed about the outcome, I figured buying CPO with 2 warranties if I...

Oh…one thought I had…could this perhaps be a difference in driving behavior between the previous owner and myself? I don’t generally have my foot in the gas too heavily, especially when I have a load in the back and the tailgate is down! Both times this happened I was very gently accelerating...
