| Description of the problem | Takata recall my vehicle was shipped from north carolina in humidity and hot sun for an extended period of time- approx two of those years was consistent humidity and high temperatures without being driven. I am now due to relocate to california and i am requesting my truck be repurchased by manufacturer due to the extended period of time awaiting these parts to be available. Carmax sold me this truck knowing these safety recalls were open and never told me! I never would have purchased this vehicle knowing it's putting my family lives at risk. There is also a third rear brake light water leak which i was told to replace rear window! Only to still have puddles under my seat - now floor warped and smells like mold. Manufacturers is well aware of this defect as i see complaints about this with other dodge ram owners! All as frustrated as me due to dodge first replacibg rear electric windiw which costs $600 -$1100 before finally telling customer it's a $3 gasket repair which dodge will not sell you! They want to charge labor and make more money to do this fix! It needs to be recalled. |
