Based on these representations and my understanding that this vehicle was a better option for my needs, I agreed to purchase it for approximately $30,000. Within 15 days of the purchase, the vehicle began experiencing serious mechanical issues. I promptly returned to your dealership to request assistance; however, I was denied service. I later took the vehicle to an authorized RAM dealership for a professional inspection and diagnostic evaluation.
