I am voting my V06 repair the worst, what do you think?

I am voting my V06 factory recall repair done by a Ram dealer to be the worst, what do you think? OMG!

That's a beauty

You should send those pictures to NHTSA/www.safecar.gov and FCA. Yes you win!!!!!

This says you can include pictures.

How did the seagull make it's "'stuff" land up there?

 

[DavidC]

That's just plain nasty.

Aside from aesthetics, does it work? Is the repair just supposed be a tac weld or is it supposed to have a bead? Is this permanent or temporary. I have a Cab and Chassis, so I don't think mine is affected.

Not a welder, so not sure I'm using the correct terminology.

Cheers, Ron

Holly crap! Now I am glad they (dealer) said I did not need the V06 (FCA still sends me notices???????)

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

That is brutal. Those can’t even be considered tack welds. I would definitely send pictures of that mess into the above link.

Your dealer is wrong,if you are receiving the notice you need it.
Depending what is found during the inspection phase will determine the repair

That's a stick weld, stick some here stick some there.

That is down right embarrassing.I would have to say in this instance I would take it back and show the service director

Look up "Bird I TRIED TO BY-PASS THE CUSSING FILTER" weld in the Dictionary, there is that pic!

 

[DonFitzwater]

The bigger the glob the better the job! Wait, those aren’t even globs!

JPM you win!

 

[TCDiesel]

JPM, Consider that hack job a blessing, it now certainly qualifies for replacement.

 

[RChandler]

Why I fought it ... No weld fix on my truck

 

[Larry Sciblo]

What the dealer is wrong??? LOL. They had it for a hour. I was told it was not necessary. After seeing this not sure I want the weld job.

I would not be surprised at this kind of fix in a third world country. But were not there yet, I hope.

I had mine just done too. If you ever need to have your steering wheel straightened again for one reason or another, you got a problem. I doubt that this is a permanent resolution. I'm thinking that this is to comply with the safety requirement and then a new design being implemented. That's my hope for now.....

 

[JPM]

at least you got some paint!

Hadn't heard that one before - Now if I can remember it for use later!
