The good news is they won’t be making any more crappy trucks.
Last I looked there was over a 100-day supply of them. Meaning the strike actually helps scalantis because now they don’t have to pay these employees
A follow-up:
Neighbor’s son just HAD TO HAVE a NEW RAM TRUCK-—Maybe 3-4 years ago.
Payments over $600 a month & he lives on Military disability.
About 7-8 MONTHS ago, truck quits running.
SEEMS IT HAS A BROKEN CRANKSHAFT-—
SEEMS IT ISN’T THE ONLY ONE-——
DEALERSHIPS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAVE THESE TRUCKS SITTING ON THEIR PROPERTY-—AWAITING REPAIRS-—UNDER WARRANTY.
FOR SOME STUPID REASON——RAM IS USING GERMAN DIESEL ENGINES-—AND THESE AWAITING WARRANTY REPAIR ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
SOOOOOOOO—DO YOU GET NEW ENGINES FROM A DIFFERENT SUPPLIER????
OR DO YOU LET THE SAME SUPPLIER PROVIDE THE REPLACEMENTS?????
I am 83.
I have been around racing since before I was 20.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF OVER 100,000 VEHICLES OF SAME BRAND WITH BROKEN CRANKSHAFTS...in a short time.
CANNOT REMEMBER MORE THAN A COUPLE OF SUCH “BROKEN” CRANKSHAFTS IN YEARS OF GOING TO DRAG RACES.
NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THIS WILL ALL GET FIXED-—
AND HIS $600 a month payments continue.
