Defective weathers tripping around front doors of my 2004. 5 Dodge ram truck. Dodge did not inform me of defective design and will not repair it at their expense (carbon monoxide inhalation danger). Electrical component and wiring harness defects, dealer has not notified me of defects, will not fix them under warranty,(fire hazard). Deceptive practices by Dodge dealer (kari Dodge , kalispell montana). Sold me a 7 year 70,000 mile warranty , specifically stating it was not similar to my previous warranty (insurance policy it turned out to be). I paid 1700 dollars for a warranty that does not cover what I was lead to believe it would.
