We brought our Dodge Durango in after it overheated once - IANJAMES7613
We brought our Dodge Durango in after it overheated once as a precaution. After adding coolant, we had no further issues, but wanted the dealership to inspect it just to be safe.
We scheduled a Friday drop-off around lunchtime and were told we’d hear back that same afternoon or evening. We never received a call. After an entire weekend with no updates, I called Monday morning and was told a “case manager” would contact me within two hours. That never happened.
When I went to the dealership in person later that day, I found out the vehicle had not been looked at at all—four days after drop-off. I was told our case manager had taken time off, which raises the question: why schedule intake if no one is available to handle it?
After multiple days of silence, we finally received a diagnosis six days later. No issues were found (which is great), but we were still quoted for “precautionary” maintenance, including a thermostat replacement and brake fluid service—even though the brake pads were within spec.
Communication continued to be poor. We had to repeatedly follow up ourselves, and even after giving authorization over the phone for the work, we were later told it wasn’t completed because we didn’t fill out an emailed invoice—despite clearly stating we were waiting to confirm warranty coverage first.
To make matters worse, when my wife was called pick up the vehicle, she discovered the requested work wasn’t fully completed and had to wait until Monday for everything to be completed. The interaction she had with the case manager at pick up was unprofessional and dismissive.

Confusing and inconsistent authorization process
Incomplete work after multiple delays
Poor customer service
This is especially disappointing considering I’ve purchased four Dodge and Ram vehicles since 2020, including 2 from this dealership.
At this point, I have very little confidence in bringing my 2026 Ram here for service. They consistently overpromised and underdelivered
