| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Truck began having troubles running, giving off black smoke intermittently, and sometimes an engine shutter would be present. the vehicle was a dodge ram 3500 1 ton dually, 5.9 deisel with automatic transmission. *jb according to the dodge dealer, the computer recognized the truck key as an invalid key. we had the truck for a few months with no problem. the computer had rewritten a new key code. the dodge dealer said that he had experienced 4 vechicles with the same problem within the last two weeks. all had the original key code rewritten with a new code(the same in all four vechicles). all were 2006 models although he didn't say what model. 2 of the four shutdown completely and the other two including my vechicle ran intermittently good/bad. although the dealer fix of reprogramming the correct key code has our vechicle working again, i am concerned about a factory installed virus that rewrites the key code. if it were a random occurance, how could all 4 vechicles get the same key code written. i am also concerned about timing of pulling a tailer of horses down the road and getting disabled in the middle of nowhere. if the motor is disabled while running, what happens to the power steering/brakes. i am highly concerned. |
