Oil consumption issue with the engine: there was an extended warranty on the engine but it apparently expired July of last year. I bought the vehicle in April, but the warranty did not show up under any recalls or Carfax report. I discovered the oil consumption problem at the end of July and have been getting the runaround from several dealerships. Finally made some headway today by starting the oil consumption test, but they called me an hour or so after the appointment to tell me Stalantis had JUST changed their policy, effective TODAY, that they would no longer honor goodwill warranties in vehicles 2018 or older.

I PURCHASED NEW A 2017 WINNEBAGO TREND MOTORHOME ON A 2016 RAM PROMASTER CHASSIS. THE OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS COME IN 2 PARTS. THE LOWER MIRROR DUE TO AN ENGINEERING ERROR CAN NOT MOVE OUT FAR ENOUGH TO PERMIT A SAFE VIEW OF TRAFFIC. ESSENTIALLY IT AFFORDS MOSTLY A VIEW OF THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE LOCAL DODGE AGENCY AGREES BUT UPON CONTACT OF DODGE AND WINNEBAGO NEITHER WILL FURNISH A MIRROR TO GIVE ME A SAFE VIEW. LANE*JS *JS
