| Description of the problem | The problems that we are having with our 2009 dodge slt 1500 is 1... The recall on heat and air... Dealer fixed! Great! 2.... Yall ready for this! Our truck started smoking and stalling out with no power yes smoking out the tail pipe solid white smoke and you couldn't even see the traffic behind you! How embarrassing is that.... Soooo the dealer lead us on for 6 months that they didn't know what was wrong and they where doing this and that and finally they broke down and put... Rebuilt heads, brand new short block(is what they said) and everything else was rebuilt or used.. And called it a new motor!!! Now the problem is even worse then what it was before. We almost got hit by 2 semi's trying to change lanes in traffic heading back from gainesville last weekend because the truck stalled when we slowed down slightly. We tried to pick up speed again and the truck would not go no power! What a piece of crap... The deal said that they have to go to atlanta on our truck alone because they have never heard of anything like it! Does anyone else have this problem!!!!!!!!! Even after a so called rebuilt motor. |
