| Description of the problem | I own a 2004 dodge ram 1500 powered by the hemi engine. I have talked with timberline dodge located in portland or about a problem i have been experiencing with the engine suddenly stalling for no reason. All that the dealership did was add me to a list of over 30 other can owners with the same problem. Today i was nearly in an accient as the result of the engine quitting without notice. I was entering a busy parking list when i was suddenly confronted with a steering wheel that would not turn and brakes that were ineffective. I have researched further and there appears to be a substantial number of vehicle owners with the same problem.. I purchased the vehicle 2 months ago and have had several occurences since please help.*ak |
