Was there first thing this morning -- told me it would take 3-5 days for a tech to see it but the 3-year clock ended in May 2022. I have the Platinum Care and the CPO so I suppose we'll see what it looks like. Anybody got any recommendations on how to try to escalate with RAM if they try to avoid?
The best thing you can do is… pray. My SA told me I was SOL when I brought in my truck for the third time since my truck was just a few miles out of bumper to bumper warranty and that was with an extended mopar warranty.
“Ram Cares” couldn’t help me since I didn’t have an open case or appointment at the dealer, and the dealer wouldn’t spend the time to fight the fight since they didn’t see any chance of getting money from FCA. Chicken and the egg.
Sadly, unless FCA does a recall, there is no sure bet in getting this resolved through the typical channels, besides divine intervention.
The silicone sealant method I(and others) have described earlier is the least expensive and best value fix at this point.
If these trucks were having electrical fires or something safety related due to the leak, we would have this resolved for free, but it’s just a QC issue in FCA’s mind. Not worth making right.
I’ll be buying a blue oval-badged truck next time, not because they are without flaws, but simply out of principle.
