“I purchased the trucks used from a dealership rick hendrick in fayetteville, nc. In march of 2019. It only had 20,000 miles on it. Issue one was they sold it to me with parts that void warranty per chrysler and this was not disclosed up front. Main problem I had to threaten to sue in order to get money back to get tires with the correct class rating as I could not tow with it. Next issue was they would not warranty bad wheel bearing or breaks at 37000 miles which per them was due to a lift kit. There is no lift kit on the truck but someone install a leveling kit. …”
