Consumer Description

TRUCK HAS EXCESSIVE RUST OVER BOTH REAR FENDERS. HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A COUPLE OF BODY SHOPPES AND ESTIMATE TO HAVE IT FIXED WILL COST ABOUT $5,500. RUST IS COMING FROM UNDERNEATH ABOUT WHEEL AND RUSTING FROM UNDER SURFACE TO EXTERIOR ON FENDER. 90% OF OTHER DODGE RAM TRUCKS WITH THE SAME BODY STYLE AS MY 2003 RAM ALL HAVE SURFACE RUST WHERE THE PAINT LOOKS BUBBLED. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL WITH CHRYSLER. *TR
