I need to vent.
I bought a new 2020 1500 Laramie last February. At 14,000 miles, I started to hear knocking coming from the engine and took it to the dealer who ended up replacing 4 lifters and a camshaft. 2,000 miles later, the knocking returned so back to the dealer I went.
After 3 days, I got a call with news that the technician talked to Chrysler and, due to the low mileage of the truck and continuing valvetrain problems, I qualify for a brand new engine!
Now I will not have my truck again for what will likely be several weeks. The dealer said they cannot give me a loaner vehicle because there are TWO other engine replacements ahead of me and they have the loaners. And now I have to figure out how to get to work and get my 4 year old to school without transportation for what will probably be a month+ from the sound of it
Come to find out late in the game this is all from known issues with this engine. I must say I'm feeling a good bit of buyer's remorse right now.
