2000 Dodge Ram Pickup SLT review from North America
"Lemon! Last Chrysler product for me!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1st snowfall I found out ABS didn't work.
Rear bumper rusted and pitted after 2 months.
Transmission was replaced after 3 months.
Many different recalls.
4 wheel drive harness defective.
Transfer case defective.
Radiator fluid leak.
Engine knock at higher RPMs.
Gas mileage never even close to the sticker.
Front brakes replaced at 29,000 miles.
Paint chipped easily.
Transmission started to leak again at the end of the lease.
I signed a 3-year lease on this truck. At first, I was given a rental car for all repairs. However, after a year I was left out in the cold. The dealership would not even consider working with me to resolve issues.
General comments?
I leased my truck from Pomerening in Oshkosh, WI. At first, they were very helpful. However, after about 1 year they left me out in the cold. I spoke to management both at Pommerening and at Dodge. No one would do anything for me. Customer service was nonexistent.
Best of luck to anyone out there with a Ram.
