Do not buy a dodge
Family member has a 2013 dodge. water pump leaks. dealership/dodge corp has NO water pumps. 5.7L hemi
dealership will no give a vehicle to use. dealership says if the engine blows up dodge will replace it. corp says its a big problem to get parts now ???? 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.... |

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.

Re: Do not buy a dodge
I thought they were trying to get them to purchase a new pickup and install a water pump as soon as the deal was finalized.

Re: Do not buy a dodge
Try calling another Dodge dealer within 25 miles of where the vehicle is located ask if they stock the water pump for this car. If it's stocked or available next day. If it was my vehicle I would complain an if they did nothing I would have towed to dealer who has a pump.
In my area they have a big warehouse in Atlanta and shipments between dealers. This is not a rare engine and should be readily available. http://www.ebay.com/itm/252138291227/www.ebay.com/ |

I said before no water pumps around here. dodge corp. had to get one shipped out. called other dealerships they did not have part. you can buy a mopar water pump factory on many web sites/non dodge dealerships ... they [DODGE ] WILL NOT WARRANTY THE USE /INSTALL OF THESE PART SUPPIERS .............So that is why we had to wait so as to not cause a warranty excuse to cover the defects.. violation of warranty NOT GOOD.. |
