Description of the problem	Rusted frame, reported to fca 2/19/19 , presented to dealership 2/25/19, i was told they could not lift truck for safety reasons, there is a hole rotted through the frame rail forward of rear tire. This could be an obvious safety issue. I have had the recall done for the gas tank strap, frame rust, the truck is in excellent shape, it has 74,800 miles, not a scratch and a lifetime power train warranty. It has been maintained. This frame was only used for a couple years, i would not be surprised if all rams of this vintage did not have the same problem or will shortly i spoke to fca on 3/14/19, i was told that i could take my truck to another dealership, they could prevent me from driving my truck home, and fca would offer no assistance.
