On the 2019 Laramie Sport had 2 minor issues:
1) Initial cabin cable rattle, fixed in 30 minutes at dealer.
2) Uconnect update, nuked my NAV screen, had to wait 3 weeks to get module.
But nothing that affected its drive-ability or leaks. Some of these experiences are out of control.
Research your state's lemon law and get rid of it. I had to do that with a Dodge Viper. It was the last years of the Gen2 GTS Vipers, Dodge had secretly decided to end Viper in 2000, In 2001 builds, they started going cheaper on engine internals and probably everything. Forged pistons to hyperbolics, water pump going from all steel shaft and propeller to plastic internals.
The water pump is what got me. Some of the new style, non metallic propellers, would start slipping on shaft, under hard driving, not rotate water thru radiator and overheat the car. It would drive fine in normal driving. Under heavy acceleration, temperature would creep up. After so many times of overheating it, pull it over to let cool off, the cylinder heads warped enough, to start pushing exhaust combustion hydrocarbon heat into coolant. Imagine you floor your sports car a few times on highway and red light would go on. This caused the overheating to start occuring with normal driving. I found all this out after the fact.
I had taken it to 3 different dealers and they all said there was nothing wrong, they would just let it idle outside for an hour. So I filed for Florida lemon law. Manufacture gets 3 repair attempts, which I already had documented, if it still is not fixed after final lemon law repair attempt, you go in front of judge and he awards you, a refund- manufacture has to buy back car. Daimler Chrysler had to buy the car back + any upgrades, I purchased minus so many cents per mile. I had under 600 miles on it. Did not have to get an attorney, very consumer friendly process.
After the final lemon law inspection, where Dodge flew in this Viper expert from Michigan and they said nothing is wrong. I was so mad, I said: OK, there is nothing wrong, just drive it. So that following Saturday, I took it out and drove it like it was my last day with it. Isn't that what a viper or Hellcat is meant for? About 30 minutes later, engine blew up, had it flat bedded to dealer. I still remember the look on the Viper Tech and service manager, when they had me start it and it was pouring out smoke, clanking, grinding...etc. I told them to tell DC Rep to send me my check.
A week later, I had a check for $89,000.00 and never saw car again. So can completely sympathize with some of these horror stories.
If you have the same problem occurring over and over again, you can make the manufacture buy it back, with lemon law. Why should we eat the depreciation.
