NHTSA Complaint #10128670 — 2001 DODGE RAM 1500

RE:"SERVICE ISSUE" UPON PURCHASE, WAS TOLD BY DEALER NO CODES, YET RECIEVED CONSTANT ENGINE WARNING LIGHT. ANOTHER DEALER IN S.C. ADDY DODGE, CHARGED $270 TO FIX,WHILE ON VACATION THERE WHICH MADE THE PROBLEM WORSE BY ILLUMINATING MORE DASH LIGHTS. ADDY DODGE THEN STATED I NEEDED A TORGE CONVERTOR FOR $2200. THE '01 RAM HAD 32K MILES AND RAN FINE WITH NO SHIFT PROBLEM HOWEVER I WAS SOLD A CONVERTOR ON THE PREMISE IT "WOULD NOT MAKE IT HOME" AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR THE DAY BEFORE. I DROVE OUT TO THE DEALER TO SEE FOR MYSELF AND THE TRUCK WAS COMPLETED IN RECORD TIME, LEFT IN FRONT OF THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT PROVIED THE "OLD PARTS". I PAID FOR THE UNIT AND HAD ADDY DODGE DELIVER IT TO MY VACATION CONDO. 2 HOURS LATER IT WAS STOLEN FROM THE 5TH FLOOR OF THE CONDO. NO OTHER STOLEN VEHICLE HISTORY AT THAT ADDRESS, ONE WAY IN AND OUT AND MANY OTHER BIKES AND TRUCKS ON FLOORS 1-5. I SUSPECT THE ENTIRE EPISODE RELATED TO THE DEALER AND CANNOT GET HELP FROM CHRYSLER AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IN" TIME" YET LUSTINE DODGE OF WOODBRIDGE COULD NOT FIND THIS ISSUE FROM POINT OF SALE TO REPAIR AT ANOTHER DEALER.
