Description of the problem | Left rear of quad cab not welded completely. Quad cab door and drivers' side door do not close completely. You can hear them rattle when driving. This was reported to two separate dealers and the factory representative and chrysler corporation. They offered $500. 00 for the defect. This is a safety defect as well as a value defect. We fear the drivers' side door may open, as well as the quad cab door, in an accident. |
