| Description of the problem | The front bumper on my 2009 dodge ram trx/4/offroad is rusting it is a painted bumper not chrome i contacted the dealer who took pictures and sent them to dodge they inturn said it is not covered. After receiving a recall notice for the rear pinion nut i decided to research recalls on my dodge ram and found that there is a recall on the chrome bumpers for this year and feel that my bumper should be included in the recall because as it was sold to me with the trx/4/offroad package it should have more protection then the chrome bumper even thou it was painted it should of been chipguarded or a vinal covered. |
