problem #3

Ram 2500 Big Horn 5.9L

  • Automatic transmission

I've had the truck since it was new and in about 2011 the paint started to blister above the rear wheel well on the drivers side. This year the paint started to blister on the passenger side. The drivers side now is rust almost to where there is a hole. As many folks as have this happen to their trucks you would think Dodge would somehow make right on these faulty truck beds.

Ram 2500 V6

Noticed my truck is rusting on wheel wells and a small hole in bed. Went to get bid on fixing and the body guy said we wouldn't be pleased and rust would just pop out someplace else. Suggested a new bed. In the end would cost about $5000. If we put new bed on we'll just wait for the rust to get MUCH worse. In the mean time we'll be hunting for one in the junk yards. Disgusting, you would think we would get better product instead of worse. Everything is cheaply made anymore. I was just wondering if anyone else is having problems with theirs. So frustrated!!!!

The paint above the rear wheel wells of my 2006 dodge 2500 is blistering. The truck has been well-kept. My dodge dealer, Jackie Jones of hayesville, NC has said that dodge will not help, but this is faulty workmanship. Any advice?
