Ram 1500 SLT 5.7L

I purchased this piece of rust in a snow storm and didn't notice until I got it home and it thawed out that there is rust bubbling up over the fender wells through the paint on both sides. I took it to the body shop and it will cost $800.00 to fix just the fender wells. Then I noticed the bumpers are rusting through as well. I then proceeded to crawl up under the truck and same all underneath, rust everywhere. I found this spray called corrosion control put out by the same people that make pb blaster seems to neutralize the rust. I have never owned a Dodge before, but I guess now I know why. Dodge needs to recall this heap of rust.

HAVE ALWAYS LOVED DODGES BUT THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO THIS RUST PROBLEM! DIDN'T MAKE MY FIRST PAYMENT BEFORE I NOTICED BUBBLES AROUND MY WHEEL WELLS! HAD IT REPLACED WITH METAL AND IT'S BACK AGAIN!! DODGE MUST HAVE GOT A GOOD DEAL ON SOME CHEAP ASS BEDS AND WE'RE THE ONES THAT HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR MISTAKES! THEY SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEMS THEY MADE AND REPLACE THE DAMN BED!!

I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER DODGE AGAIN UNLESS THEY OWN UP TO THE PROBLEM THEY CAUSED! AND PAY TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT!! MY DODGE IS SHARP, LOOKS GOOD...EXCEPT FOR THE BROWN SH*TTY BUBBLES THAT KEEP COMING BACK! DODGE YOU SUCK BIG TIME AND SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THE PEOPLE YOU'VE SCAMMED!!! "" LOSE BUSINESS...YOU WILL ""
