Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had my dodge ram 1500 4x4 for only 2 years before the paint started fading on the hood, top of cab & top of bed. now it is 2004 and the trucks looks terriable . embarrassing to drive. dealership said there is nothing they can do, no recalls on paint for 1998 truck and no warranty. after you pay all that money for a truck and expected the best quality due to the price. i have spoke with several dealerships and this seems to be a common problem. i cannot afford to have it painted, considering how much it costs to replace the emblems and purchase the paint. is there any thing that can be done about this? please help! *ak
