The "C" will likely be my last mopar by choice
Here is a posting from, my ram forum I put up yesterday:
Just checking in to let you know what I discovered.
I would not buy another mopar after dealing with the local dealer after owing a 84 and 88 daytona Cs series, 2004 durango, 2009 ram 1500, 1973 challenger with 6 pack 440 and 05 crossfire. They are theives clear and simple.
Got a hub replaced and after 40 miles of driving got an abs light ( above) after finding that the dealer wanted 160$ for pulling the codes that I have gotten they were wanting much more to fix issue.
wENT TO EBAY GOT AN ABS MODULE FOR $160 AND WENT TO LOCAL SHOP WHERE $84 INSTALLED THE VIN NUMBER FIXING THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. C2200 is internal module fault, known issue and TSB is out on it saying module is to be flashed by dealer ( never gonna happen ).
2. COde will not clear, you have to swap out the module and vin code it to fix the issue. NO RESET will work.
3. Never go to the dealer unless warranty covers all charges. They wanted $2200 to pull the dash for the ac motor replacement on a door. Part came from ebay for 17$ shipped and it behiind the glove box, with 2 screws - 10 minute job!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Use Utube and ebay and local repair shops --- dealers never.

My dealer Linsay dodge in manassas has driven my to nix further dodges. I sorta want a hemi challenger to go with my 440-6pac challenger 1973 and a replacment for my 2004 hemi durango. Lousy service - leave it for a day for inspections.... $160$ to read codes that I have pulled and found a a TSB for.... Screw them I refuse to let them profit from my service. I HAVE DECIDED IAM GOING FOREIGN AT THE AGE OF 71.
Ford dropped v8's
Chevy interiors fall apart
DOdges have lousy service and predatory pricing
So its off shore for me Nissan - Toyota - Subaru or something not riddled with stealership attitudes.
NO CAR IF ITS A MOPAR and this goes back some 50 years !!!!!!!!!!!!
