| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I was driving my 1998 dodge ram 4x4 extended cab 1500slt 318 motor on the freeway doing 70-75 mph when i lost all power. i had no power steering or power brakes and was stuck in the fast lane on the interstate. i was finally able to get to the shoulder by cutting off another vehicle. i had my truck towed to lithia dodge of roseburg and they said the intake manifold gasket was leaking . they also said this was a common problem with this model. it caused oil to blow down my exhaust and plug my catalytic converter which choked off my motor and caused the engine to die. they would not warranty this because the truck has 46000 miles on it. i don't understand why this wasn't recalled as i was lucky i didn't get in a wreck. i know two other people this same problem has happened to. *la |
