2018 RAM vent

Seriously. An 8 year old heavy duty truck instantly becomes a “driveway ornament” because someone gets a recall notice in the mail?
“The only option is to rent a cheap car”.

And he mentioned it on a tractor Forum So what,
I brought up an issue I've been having with my welder ! On a tractor Forum

It is just a 2018 2500 issue now from what they are saying. It seems they have the other years and models fixed.

I would be happy if they would fix it, but until then, just get me an equivalent vehicle to use. I am really only asking for exactly what I paid for, nothing more.

Any third-party solutions?

If I remember correctly, people buy an older (or maybe it was never?) unit and take the motor from it.

The motor is what fails and it fits the faulty unit. Again, that's what I recall reading about it. May or may not be correct.

My ford f250 had the entire breaks go out, while I was at my Cabin. I parked the truck on a Friday, got in it Monday and had no breaks. Like WTF. Now no tow truck would be able to get up there so I had to limp it down a mountain with no breaks. Thank god for 4 low, and a manual parking brake. That was nerve racking.

There was a gasket in the master cylinder that went out sending brake fluid to the booster and then pulled in by the vacuum pump. The entire brake system had to be replaced.

At least Ford had the parts and it was on the road again in a week.

My Toyota Landcruiser has been the only real bulletproof vehicle I have ever owned. It's really the only vehicle I never worry or think about.

It's not 1985 anymore, there is no "dinger". Dunno how Stellantis does it, but on GMs it's built into the audio system, comes thru the speakers. I would imagine everyone else does the same, and has for a long time now.

If they just want to discuss tractors, maybe they need to find another place to hang out, because much more than tractors discussed here, and has been for a long time !

My daughter’s first car, a roughly 2010 Impala had very weak turn signal sounds when we bought it used. Sure enough all those sounds come through the front speakers. Fixed it with new speakers.

Unfortunately there is not. We also have the extended warranty on it so I was hate to go non-oem on anything until that is up but, would if it would fix it.

DarkBlack, it is NOT because I got a recall notice, that I could careless about, IF they could fix it i have no complaint.
The ABS does not work, the stability control does not work, cruise control does not work - there is the problem. We often tow heavy with the truck, sometime in the winter, sometime on ice, etc. Sure would be nice to have those system working correctly (well not using cruise to tow). And yes, RAM's solution is they will allow me to rent a compact car. So DarkBlack, how do I tow, lets just say 12,000 pounds with a Kia subcompact they want me to use keeping liablity in mind???

You obviously totally missed my point
