Description of the problem | During heavy rain the back driver side well (underneath rear seat-storage area) fills with water. I have an appointment tomorrow to diagnosis the issue. I believe this is a problem with the rear window drain holes being plugged but not certain. Only a year old and surprised this occurred. Checked youtube and found this issue with older models of ram trucks. Its taken a act of congress to get dealer to schedule a fix for this problem. Went to local dealer and they tried to redirect to a water specialist locally. They were avoiding the warranty or just plain lazy. Come on dodge you can do better. I have noticed this from the truck being parked in front of my home. I now place towels to capture water on rainy days. |
