AutoNation Dodge Ram Colorado Springs

Really indescribable at this point. Changed my review from 5 stars to 1 as I'm baffled. Just shocked at how bad this got with CS Dodge. Had a 2015 ecodiesel that became a $9k problem in a matter of 2 from 5 stars to 1 as I'm baffled. Just shocked at how bad this got with CS Dodge. Had a 2015 ecodiesel that became a $9k problem in a matter of 2 weeks months ago. The oil cooler failed, which is disastrous, and then the turbo sprung a leak two weeks after the oil cooler failed. Was going to be $3800 just to tear the engine apart and identify the issue with the turbo. I make money with the trucks I own. Had to rent trucks to get me through this period too. Hauling is my living. Ram Tough...meh. Ram should be recalling the oil cooler because of the danger to the engine and occupants...but whatever. It's a thermal break, so the design is crap from Chrysler. Just read what happens when an oil cooler fails in one of these vehicles. While the vehicle was in the bay, I told them I'd trade it back to them. They deducted the estimated repairs from the trade-in value and I lost big money in span of 2 weeks. Big Money. Traded to a 2017 5.7 Hemi. Didn't trade up, traded to. Even the salespeople shared with me that the 2nd generation engines in the 1/2 ton ecodiesel were suspect when I was unloading mine. In between repairs, I had a wholesale buyer ask me what I thought of the vehicle. I told him when things go bad, they go real bad. He said they were seeing an awful lot of ecodiesel 1/2 tons and he didn't understand why. The reason is that they have big issues with oil coolers and cracking EGR coolers. These are major, major failures. Fires, engine damage, you name it. The more miles, the more risk. That's why trade ins are becoming commonplace it appears at wholesalers. Who knows what else is lurking? I'm a fan of Dave Ramsey and he says never buy an extended warranty. Well, we did with the 2017. Dave Ramsey is right...again...d*&nit. No deductible and high mile warranty that covered everything that wasn't maintenance related. Very pricey. I'm an idiot. Low beams go out last week on both sides. High beams and fog good. Don't understand as it's not the switch because lights apparently on. Take to the dealer this am. Believe warranty will take care of issue. Advisor calls me after a few hours and tells me they can't touch the headlamps, that they're aftermarket. I've had the vehicle 5 months. I said, "I bought the vehicle like that from you. I didn't know the headlamps were aftermarket." He stated that they were and I should have known. Yeah, like the first thing I ask when I'm trying to replace a lemon for another vehicle is, "Are those aftermarket headlamps because I plan on buying the warranty?" Said what I needed to say and reminded Richard in the service department the vehicle was sold to me that way from CS Dodge. What am I not understanding here? You sold me a vehicle with aftermarket parts, sold me a warranty that covers failures, and then won't cover the failure because the parts are aftermarket in the truck you sold me? Huh? Get a call back and the service dept says they can't do anything and to speak to the sales department. He says, "We're out." We're out? What? We're out after you sell me a vehicle that's covered under a full warranty with aftermarket headlamps...that I should apparently know about? I told Richard, "You work under the same roof, why don't you go talk to the sales department?" He wouldn't and transferred me. Get transferred to Sales Dept and lay into Paul. Really blindsided him. You can thank Richard for that. He goes back to service and talks to Richard. Richard calls me again and says I can come get the vehicle and he'll price out OEM headlamps for a technician to install (wasted the entire day). I told him, don't bother. I'm done with this place. Done with Dealin' Doug. I recommend Honda, Toyota, or Rocky Mountain Auto Brokers as I've purchased from each of these locations over the years. I live up here. This is my neighborhood. I expect a refund on the Fidelity warranty. I'll even sell the truck back to you when you refund the warranty...which you will. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I must be at CS Dodge. More

Dealership more concerned about getting 10’s on a survey’s. Way too many 5 star ratings for this dealership.. The only positive for this survey was that Kevin was knowledgeable of the truck I was bu survey’s. Way too many 5 star ratings for this dealership.. The only positive for this survey was that Kevin was knowledgeable of the truck I was buying. The negative with my purchase is that they offered no discounts at all; not even a military discount which I found a bit odd since this town is military heavy. They would not budge on the final price and would not negotiate the value of my trade-in. If I were not in need of a larger truck, I would have walked out and looked somewhere else. It just so happens this dealership had what I was looking for on their lot. Throughout the time I was there it felt as if they were more concerned about getting a 10 on the survey that Chrysler would be sending me in an email. Everyone from the salesman, internet sales manager, service manager and finally in an email from the General Manager they wanted me to give them a chance to respond if I could not give them a 10 on the survey. Well, I responded to them before doing this survey and the only thing I got was a return phone call telling me what I already knew. I did the survey as a buyer, and I did it without regard to their pleas for a 10 on a survey. I was honest about what was going on with my experience at Springs Dodge. I mean after all the likelihood of Chrysler really looking at this survey is probably about only a 1% chance. But I do hope others read this and decide beforehand as to whether this is the place they would want to buy from. More

Had my Ram towed in. Turned out to be no problem. The dealer was very responsive to my questions and my problem. Thanks for your help.

Normally a great experience till today when I literally got called a liar by the lady who.checked me in for an oil change. I told her when I drove up I had a coupon and it was in my hand, she never took it got called a liar by the lady who.checked me in for an oil change. I told her when I drove up I had a coupon and it was in my hand, she never took it or anything. So after my oil change she tells me my total and I was like no I have this coupon that I told u about Then she tells me that I should of told her at the beginning. When I stated I did she straight up told me "I don't believe you did". Excuse me but i'm not a liar by any means. She also is snarky saying well the cashier can't adjust this. Like clearly that's why I told u in the beginning. Then she wasn't going to apply the coupon saying she needs to check my account. Seriously chic the coupon has my bfs name on it and the car is on my bfs name, I only go to dodge for my oil changes so I know how they work. I have never left somewhere so flustered in my life. All around a terrible experience with this one lady from start to finish. More

Ron was great! We came in, didn’t feel pressured at all, told him what we needed and what we had, and he found the perfect vehicle for us. Then he hooked us up with Martin to finish the financing, and we fe told him what we needed and what we had, and he found the perfect vehicle for us. Then he hooked us up with Martin to finish the financing, and we felt well taken care of. We are never going back to Phil Long. Thanks Ron and Martin! More
