Default warranty question ?

I have a 2007 1500 with about 14000 km on it . I was comeing home the other day and my drivers side front speaker started farting . It sounds like it could be blown or loose ?? will this be covered under warranty or are they going to say it is abuse and not cover it??

Thanks in advance

i dont believe it will be covered... it also depends on who your company is and what kind of warranty you have... i had guardian on my 99 ram and they covered just about nothing... worst $2000 i ever spent... i have the gold package bumper to bumper on my 04 ram and it covers just about everything... just call them up and as them... if they dont cover it, then its time for some aftermarket audio equipment! my favorite...

I would say that you are well covered. Under the 36/36 (American Miles stuff) you are under the bumper to bumper warranty.

You only have about 8800 miles on the truck. Take it in and have them look at it. I would bet you are covered.

Good luck. Let us know.

Well you are all right this is a warranty thing as parts and service said there is a service bulletin out on this and the dealer mentioned that he has had a bunch of trucks in for this very problem . Will be getting fixed as soon as the new speakers are in

Thanks guys I didnt think they would fix them under warranty I thought that they might say it was abuse even though it wasnt

I think I'd go ahead and just upgrade to some quality aftermarket speakers if I kept blowing them every 2 months.
