NHTSA Complaint #10919985 — 2013 RAM 2500

STARTING AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES, REAR MAIN SEAL DEVELOPED A LEAK. THE SEAL WAS REPLACED, LEAKED AGAIN AND REPLACED BY A SEAL AND SLEEVE. SEAL AND SLEEVE LEAKED UPON INSTALLATION BUT WERE COATED WITH RTV TO STOP LEAK AT ABOUT 16,800 MILES. AT ABOUT 17,600 MILES VEHICLE EXHIBITED LEAK AGAIN. HAVE BEEN INFORMED NOW BY RAM SERVICE DEALERSHIPS THAT THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE SEEPAGE OF FLUIDS FROM ENGINE SEALS AND ARE NOT AN ISSUE UNLESS THE FLUID IS POURING OUT ON THE GROUND AND COVERING THE VEHICLE. I CURRENTLY USE THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE CAMPGROUND INVOLVING SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTAL AREAS. AS EXPLAINED, THE VEHICLE IS NOW BANNED FROM BEING OPERATED IN THOSE AREAS DUE TO DESIGNED LEAKING OF FLUIDS FROM THE VEHICLE. RAM CUSTOMER DEPARTMENT HAS BEEN ADVISED AND AM AWAITING A RESPONSE.
