dealership cannot get parts from a dealership that has the part ????

must get part from dodge corp only... cannot put in a water pump that is a dodge OEM pump if I bought it. it must be from dodge corp direct.

60K miles. dealership has 5 cars waiting for this water pump !!!!!

SO DO NOT BUY A DODGE STAY AWAY OR SELL IT TRADE IT IN BEFORE THE SH*T HITS THE FAN....
Have it towed to your place and install a new or rebuilt water pump. If you believe they will warranty knowing you have a bad water pump I personally think they will not. I even doubt will install gaskets free.
Your always free to call a tow truck and have the vehicle to an independent garage. Dealers buy from Napa all the time I've seen delivery trucks their all the time.
You could also tell them to order a rebuilt and install it or you will have it towed. I seriously doubt a 2013 which is four years old is under warranty.
