Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)The contact owns a 2014 Ram 3500. The contact stated that while towing a trailer filled with horses, the bed had detached from the cab as she pulled into her driveway. When the contact unhooked the trailer, she discovered a 6-inch gap had formed between the cab and the bed of the vehicle. She also discovered cracks on driver’s and passenger’s side frame of the vehicle. The contact called the dealer and was informed that her vehicle was no longer under warranty. No further assistance was provided. The contact then called her insurance provider and was able to drive the vehicle to an independent mechanic for repair. The mechanic replaced the frame and had both sides of the frame steel plated. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
OUR 2014 DODGE RAM 3500 HAS ABOUT 45000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS AGO WE NOTICED A CLICKY/POPPY SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END. WE PARKED THE VEHICLE AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT IN. THE APPOINTMENT WE HAD WAS FOR AUGUST 15TH. YOU COULD HAVE KNOCKED US OVER WITH A FEATHER WHEN WE GOT A CALL FROM THEM TELLING US THE FRAME WAS CRACKED AND WE HAD TO HAVE HIT SOMETHING VERY HARD TO DO THIS. I CAN TELL YOU THE ONLY POSSIBLE THING WE CAN THINK OF IS A BAD POTHOLE THAT WAS HIT AT LIKE 10MPH AND EVEN THAT I FIND FAR FETCHED TO HAVE CAUSED A CRACKED FRAME. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK AND TO BE TOLD IT HAS A CRACKED FRAME AND WE CAN'T PINPOINT THE EVENT THAT CAUSED IT. WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW SO WE ARE THE ONLY OWNERS, ANY IMPROVEMENTS TO THE TRUCK WERE DONE AT THIS DEALERSHIP. THE BODY SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING US THAT LIFTS AND DODGES DO NOT MIX YET I DO NOT RECALL EVER SEEING ANY WARNINGS OR BEING TOLD THIS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT A HEAVY DUTY TRUCK COULD HAVE THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE AND WE HAVE TO REALLY THINK HARD OF SOME EVENT THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS. AGAIN, WE DO NOT HAVE AN EXACT DATE BECAUSE WHEN THE NOISE STARTED THERE WAS NOT A SIGNIFICANT EVENT AT THAT TIME. NOISE STARTED AROUND THE 26TH OF JULY. *DT*JB
