Consumer Description

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. *TR
