Consumer Description

ENGINE FAILURE, 1999 DODGE 5.2 LITER V8. PURCHASED USED VEHICLE WITH 75,000 ORIGINAL MILES IN 2003. TRUCK IN VERY NICE CONDITION, AND WELL MAINTAINED. LAST WEEK ON A DAILY DRIVE IT SEEMS A COONECTING ROD SNAPPED AND BLEW THROUGH THE OIL PAN. THE ENGINE IS NOW GARBAGE. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1987 DODGE RAM PICK-UP AND REGRETFULLY SOLD IT WITH A MERE 175,000 MILE ON IT. THAT TRUCK WOULD RUN RINGS AROUND THE "NEW RAM TOUGH" JUNKER SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOULD REQUEST DODGE TO GIVE ME A MORE DEPENDABLE ENGINE, LIKE THE ONE IN MY 1987. I DON'T NEED THE "SWEET" GLITZ ASSOCIATED WITH THEIR NEW TECHNOLOGY. *AK
