MY OIL PAN IT RUSTING OUT FAST. NOTHING ON THE WHOLE TRUCK IS RUSTED AT ALL, ONLY MINOR SURFACE RUST. THE OIL PAN IS RUSTING VERY FAST AND THE TRUCK IS NOW LEAKING OIL. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO GOODBROTHERS DODGE AND THEY QUOTED ME THE REPAIRS TO BE AROUND 1200.00. I DROPPED THE TRUCK OFF AND THE NEXT DAY THEY SAID THE OIL PAN THEY ORDERED IS DENTED AND THEY NEED TO ORDER ANOTHER. THEN 4 DAYS LATER THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DO THE JOB AND REPLACE THE OIL PAN. THEY SAID I NEED TO FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO FIX IT. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM THEM AND NOW THEY CAN'T FIX, AND IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THIS IS A DEFECTIVE OIL PAN IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE IT SHOULDN'T BE RUSTED LIKE IT IS. NOTHING ON THE WHOLE TRUCK IS RUSTED LIKE THIS.

2014 RAM 4500 G56 TRANSMISSION DON'T DO ANY HARD SHIFTING OR ANYTHING ELSE SHIFT LEVER BROKE CLEAN OFF TODAY SHIFTING INTO SIX DOING 45 MPH, NOT A HARD SHIFT NO GRINDING GEARS JUST DROPPED INTO GEAR AND THEN SNAPPED OFF. THE TECHS TELL ME THAT IS IS AN "ISOLATOR" WHICH KEEPS THE VIBRATION DOWN, BUT THE SHIFTER IS ONLY HELD TOGETHER BY RUBBER. THIS IS ON A HEAVY DUTY WORK TRUCK AND THE PIECE IS HELD TOGETHER BY RUBBER. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE I WAS TOWING A TRAILER WHEN IT BROKE LEAVING ME STUCK IN 6TH GEAR UNABLE TO MOVE THE TRUCK OR PUT INTO NEUTRAL UNTIL I TOOK THE CONSOLE APART AND SHIFTED THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL FROM THE TOP OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK IF I WASNT IN A LOW TRAFFIC AREA. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO DODGE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE EXACT SHIFTER THAT I HAD BUT THE RECALL ONLY APPLIED TO 2015-2016 TRUCKS. THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A FAULTY PRODUCT IN MORE THAN A FEW TRUCKS BUT ONLY

MY 2014 RAM 4500 STARTED TO MAKE NOISE COMING FROM THE WATER PUMP OF THE 6.7L CUMMINS MOTOR. HAPPENS TO BE THAT THE FCA RELEASED A RECALL OF 500,000 RAMS WITH POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE DUE TO A FAILED WATER PUMP BEARING. WHEN I NOTIFIED THE DODGE DEALER THEY STATED NO KNOWLEDGE ON THIS AND SCHEDULED A SERVICE APPOINTMENT OVER A WEEK OUT. BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT DATE THE WATER PUMP SEIZED AND SNAPPED THE BELT AMONGST OTHER THINGS LIKE A BELT TENSIONER UNDER THE HOOD AND THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED IN. THEY WILL NOT COVER THE BELT BECAUSE THERE IS A PTO SYSTEM ON THE TRUCK EVEN THOU THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE WATER PUMP FAILURE. THE WATER PUMP IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY ARE PUTTING ON THE OE PUMP THAT HAS THE RECALL ON IT. THEY ARE AWARE OF THE RECALL BUT STATE ITS TO NEW. THIS OPENS ALL TYPES OF LIABILITY OF FIRE HAZARDS AND SO ON. SOMEONE HELP
