2010 Dodge RAM 1500 Body and structure Problems

“The oil pan on my 2010 Dodge RAM 1500 is rusted through so the oil leaks out any time the motor is running. I have had to add as much as 1 quart of motor oil after driving only 50 miles. This should be a recall because if the oil all drains out then the motor will seize up and the whole truck becomes garbage! It feels like it was made of very thin/cheap metal because when I tighten the oil drain plug, the whole end of the oil pan flexes under very little torque.”

“There is rust spots on the bed of the truck coming through the paint. I took into dealer to ask about it, they took pictures and I have not heard back since. Is this a problem with Dodge paint? My truck is white, therefor it is quite noticeable.”

“After hand washing my truck, I notices significant defect in the chrome parts on the truck. Most of the chrome is covered in corrosion and discoloration. This problem was first noted when the truck was one year old but was very minor. The defects have spread and become a major issue on the bumpers, wheels, steps, and trim. I went to the dealer and met with the regional chrysler rep who informed me that this would not be covered. They took the stance that the damage was due to something picked up on the road. …”

“The rear back up sensors starts to work very late. When I put my truck in reverse (leaving my child at school) I went about 10ft when I hit a lightning pole it start to work when the pole was about 1 ft and I cant brake. Thank god the result my chrome bumper was damaged I thought it was a child. Recently I put the truck entering in reverse to my garage and the wall was about 1 ft and the sensor indicates 3 ft. (3 lines) in the dash monitor. Thanks. Other than since new the truck works perfect! But I think its a very important issue. Thanks again.”

“On march 22, 2014 my wife stepped on the driver's side nerf bar to enter the truck. Before she could enter the nerf bar pulled completely out of the body of the vehicle and fell to the ground. I immediately took the truck to a dealer for inspection and possible repair. I was informed that the factory would not cover the repair unless there was rust or corrosion on the body. I called chrysler and the representative told me the same thing. I tried to file with my insurance, but they refused coverage because it was a factory defect. I was able to find a shop to repair the problem. …”
