ER DODGE JEEP! On at least 4 occasions, I brought my 2017 Ram Longhorn in for a failure of my air suspension system. My truck lowers completely down to its lowest p On at least 4 occasions, I brought my 2017 Ram Longhorn in for a failure of my air suspension system. My truck lowers completely down to its lowest point, giving a ride similar to driving a fork truck down the road. This began to happen approximately 4 months prior to my extended warranty running out. A number of major and expensive parts were changed and supposedly numerous troubleshooting tests were performed to no avail. I asked the service team to escalate this problem to their STAR (engineering group). They refused to follow up in this way telling me that STAR usually recommends things that they know how to figure out on their own. Ego and pride prevented them to do the right thing costing me physical anguish, since I suffer with sever scoliosis and disc damage in my lower lumbar. With me having the same problem within hours of leaving the dealership every time, they told me that they could contact a regional field rep to come in to troubleshoot. I called them for additional info as to when I could have this person troubleshoot my truck only to be told that this support tech will not work on vehicles over 3 years old. Additional visits and additional unnecessary parts were put on my truck, wasting money and time in an attempt to get more money from my warranty company. I eventually took my truck to another Dodge dealership in Pennsylvania, where within 3 hrs of them working on my truck they looked at the air suspension bags only to find my driver-side rear suspension air bag had a number of leaks. When I notified Carman Dodge of the other dealership's findings, they told me that this issue had to have started after my last (unresolved) service visit with them. You would think that they would gladly make the repair after their misdiagnoThe service manager, Steve Martino, more or less called me a liar and stated that since he had a long-standing relationship with his technician, he was honest and I was not. He initially stated that I had to pay for the repair, then he later turned around and said they'll do the labor if I BUY THE PARTS. No way with the parts costing $1300.00! The audacity that this dealership has shown me has prompted me to write this email. If you care at all about your money or vehicle, DON'T COME WITHIN MILES OF CARMAN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE! SHARE THIS REVIEW WITH ANYONE THAT YOU LOVE OR CARE ABOUT. HORRIBLE PEOPLE. More
