| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. this is my 4th dodge ram truck and i have never had this problem before. i first noticed a small crack in the corner and then another, and another...now i can probably fit a basketball or something in there the hole is so big. this is absolutely crazy. you pay $30,000 for a vehicle and then you tell the dealership about it and they don't want any part of it except to try and sell you another new vehicle. i have called and complained to the corporation and they want nothing to do with it either. i am not sure of the exact date of when this happened, but it was around the same time that my clear coat came off my truck as well, that i used to wash every other week and take very excellent care of. they told me the problem of the dash and the paint was because my truck was black and i lived in florida. when i let them know that this was my 4th dodge truck and i have owned all of them in fl, one was red and the other 3 were all black as well and they never had any problems, they just got really quiet and tried to change the subject. when i wouldn't let them and kept pushing the issue, they never had an answer for me and basically blew me off. pretty sad when you think about it, you spend that much money on a vehicle and you take excellent care of it and then it falls apart because they use crappy parts of something and they don't even care. myself and my step dad talked to the guy who sold me the vehicle (phil bobbit) and he told me that he would "take care of it for me" and to just bring it into the paint and body and they would fix it up for me. well when we showed up for that they looked at me like i had a third eye or something. they knew nothing about this discussion with phil. then i left several messages for him and he never returned my calls. *tr |
