| Description of the problem | I was driving along at posted highway speeds when my engine suddenly failed and lost all power. Fortunately, i was able to drift to the side of interstate without incident where i called a towing company to be picked up. My truck has 130,000 miles on it but has never shown any sign of a problem. The truck was serviced regularly at 5000 mile intervals. Majority of mileage were highway miles between 70 - 75 mph. Normally, i would chalk this up to high mileage. However, during the search for any problems with a 5. 7 l hemi engine, i noticed the following recall and was curios as to why my ram 1500 was not included: this recall covers a specific build period. The vehicles involved are 2009 |
