Had to have truck towed to dealership from outside town, 22km cost $190. After problem was diagnosed, which didn't take long... like they already had an idea what to look for. The Dealership Service Manager said that all makes of vehicles had these issue. He used to work for Mercedes and they also had TIPM issues.

After looking online, I only see Dodge having numerous sites indicating TIPM issues. I believe the dealership is well aware of these issues and rather than being HONEST and upfront and perhaps giving the customer a break on repair costs, they screw us.

I have perched 3 Dodge Ram 2500 Diesel trucks in the past 5 years, and I have had issues with all 3, The latest being today. #1 18DOD: DIESEL DRIVEABILITY CUST STATES VEHICLE WONT START NO CRANK CHK AND REPORT Work performed by TYLER DAVIS (500) Installed 68089322AG: MODULE: TOTALLY INTEGRATED P 1@922.34 Hazardous Materials Charge NO START.

I don’t think RAM gives a @#!+ about me or the parts they use to make a vehicle for the public, however I do know this I WILL NEVER BUY A DODGE, RAM VEHICLE. William Rowan 1661 E Flamingo Rd.
