Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS LEAKED OIL AROUND THE OIL FILTER SINCE THE 1ST OIL CHANGE. THE COMPANY HAS NEVER OWNED UP TO BEING A PROBLEM HOWEVER I'VE HAD A OILED FILLED DRIVEWAY EVER SINCE THEN. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FROM PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW CAN RAM GET AWAY WITH NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. I LIVE 1 1/2 HOURS FROM THE DEALER AND I'M AFRAID ITS GOING TO VIBRATE OFF ON MY WAY THERE TO GET IT FIXED. I DOUBT THEY WOULD FIX THE MOTOR IF IT LOCKED UP ON MY WAY THERE. *TR
