problem #2

May 202015

Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles

Evaporator core went out. Pag oil leaked out and A/C barely blows cold, right when summer started. A mechanic informed me that Dodge deliberately designed the evaporator with thin walls so that it will rupture. The OEM part is about $300 but an aftermarket part, that won't rupture is about $70. Labor is $900 since the whole dash has to be removed to replace. This is becoming a fairly common failure with the dodge rams.

This is designed obsolescence where the evaporator was made to fail. This should be a recall item. If you have this problem, you need to report it. That's how we get recalls going.

problem #1

Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab 5.7L Liters

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,000 miles

I brought my truck into Dodge Dealership Friday 5/23.

They said my evaporator was leaking. Charged me $1500.00 and now The Brake lights do not work! The SERV4WD warning is on, the ESPBAS warning is on. The cruise control does not work;

It's bad enough that a solid Evaporator with no moving parts fails on a three year old truck but the fact that that there is not a Dodge Dealership who can repair the trucks properly. With the many problems I have had with this truck out of three different dealerships, each one made severe mistakes.
