Description of the problem | I bought a 2014 ram 2500 in november of 2014 when i went to pick up the truck there was a 2 day delay because of a broken lock on the ram box a few weeks later after getting lots of rain inside the ram box it was in the repair shop to get one side adjusted and one side replaced. Next it went to an auto body shop to fix the paint after it was damaged from the repair. After the first car wash we had to have a sticker made that came off because it was not a ram part but put on by a dealer where the truck came from. A couple weeks goes by to have the cruise control button fail so back in the shop for a new switch. Just when i thought all was good. Last week i was driving at a slow rate of speed up a gravel driveway and the truck began to jump violently and made a crazy loud noise after having it towed to the dealer they found the transmission mod failed and caused first gear to blow out. It is now sitting at the dealership waiting to have a new transmission put in it at only 2000 miles. Needless to say i have no faith left in this truck! |
