NHTSA Complaint #11021299 — 2012 DODGE DURANGO

THERE'S THIS WEIRD LOOKING ALUMINUM TUBE ABOUT 7 FEET LONG THAT TWISTS AND TURNS UNDER THE VEHICLE THAT CARRIES THE FREON THAT SUPPLIES THE COLD AIR CONDITIONING IN MY TRUCK. SO EXACTLY WHERE THE TUBE GOES NEXT TO THE MUFFLER IT GOT CORRODED AND I HAD TO REPLACE IT WITH A NEW ONE. ALMOST $1K IN PARTS AND LABOR AND TRUCK ONLY HAD ABOUT 60,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAD ONLY USED THE AIR CONDITIONING SELDOMLY DURING 3 SUMMERS. THE NEW ALUMINUM TUBE THAT WAS BOUGHT HAD A THICKER PART RIGHT BY THE MUFFLER, MEANING ENGINEERS KNEW THE ORIGINAL PART WAS TOO THIN IN MY OPINION.
