Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2016 RAM ECODIESEL FULLY LOADED LIMITED 1500 AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT THIS PAST YEAR. I HAVE GONE TO THREE DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIX THE VEHICLE IT ONLY HAS 40K MILES ON IT AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION OTHER THAN NOW IT IS OVERHEATING AND THE FAN IS ON CONSTANTLY. I BELIEVE MAYBE THERE IS A LEAK IN THE COOLANT LINE? I DON'T KNOW, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE BEEN USELESS, I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIPS WITH THE PROBLEM ABOUT 10 TIMES. WHAT DO I DO? IT WAS A VERY EXPENSIVE VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE GOING THROUGH THIS. HOW DO I GET RAM TO RESPOND? WHO DO I CONTACT TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THEM?
