  • Manual transmission

This truck body started breaking out behind the cab soon after I bought it. The engine has never ran right from day one. It was in the Dodge shop numerous times because of poor fuel milage, and then Dodge finally agreed to send the truck to cummins. Cummins found that truck had bad milage also and wrote letter to Dodge stating the problems they found. Dodge more or less said tough, don't bother us! the engine had boken push rod at low milage and now an injector melted top out of piston ruining the engine.

I am the original owner of a 1995 Dodge 3500 with white paint and back in 1999 I noticed that the paint was starting to peel. I do use the truck for work so it is hard to bring the truck into the dealer unless it is something worth taking it off the road for a few days. In March of 2001 the truck had to go to the dealer for some service and recall work so I pointed out the paint problem and they could do anyting about it. They said it is not covered. Now it is so bad that I have to get it fixed. Their service manager has said he might be able to do something but ever time I get a minute to call he is never around and he does not return my calls. So I am filling out this report to see if there is a recall on the paint of the 1995 Dodge 3500 and if there is what can I do to make the dealer honor the recall...thank you.

My truck is a two-tone truck with green being the primary color and a silver/gray being the secondary color. The silver/gray paint began bubbling and peeling approximately a year and a half ago. Since this time I have talked to and seen other trucks that this same color is doing the same. What do I need to do to get this fixed?
