Description of the problem | I have a 2014 ram 3500 that started leaking water through the thrid brake light on the back of the cab. This is a known problem on these trucks and i know have mold growing on the inside of my truck. I also have water damage to the inside of the headliner, but this is the least of my worries. My truck was manufactured in 8/2014 and i started noticing this problem in february of this year. I have started a claim with chrysler, however they want me to pay 200. 00 to replace the carpet. My truck does have 46000 miles on it but it is only 2 1/2 years old. This is not a place that sees any wear. My concern is that this is a health issue. I have asthma and ave been having respiratory issues since january or this year. I have contacted mold removal specialist (multiple) and all have said that due to the spores that mold releases that any porous material in the truck would have to be removed and replaced and then the truck would have to be treated with a fungicide. This is my only vehicle and have a 1 year old son. I will not put him in this truck until i know it is safe. This is negligent on chryslers behalf and i know have a $66000 truck that is not safe to be in. I would like chrysler to either fix the problem the right way or purchase back the vehicle. This is not safe for my family or me to be in. |
