Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2002 DODGE RAM 1500. WE ARE THE ONLY OWNER AND HAVE TAKEN GOOD MECHANICAL CARE OF THIS TRUCK. MY HUSBAND DRIVES A GOOD DISTANCE TO WORK AND WE HAVE AROUND 170XXX MILES ON THIS TRUCK. HAVEN'T HAD ALOT OF TROUBLE OUT OF IT UNTIL IT STARTED MISFIRING AND NOT STARTING. NOT TO BAD RIGHT....WRONG ONLY A FEW DAYS LATER THE CYLINDERS STARTED MISSING. NOW WE ARE TOLD THAT WE MUST BUY A NEW ENGINE FOR IT. THE JUNK YARD MODELS COST AROUND 1700 DOLLARS. WE STILL OWE AROUND $3100 SO CONSIDERING WHAT WE OWE AND THE INSURANCE OF 450 EVERY SIX MONTHS IT ISN'T EVEN WORTH FIXING TIME YOU ADD IN LABOR. THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS WE THOUGHT WE WOULD HAVE DROVE THIS TRUCK FOR A LONG TIME. I HAVE AN OLDER FORD AND IT HAS 350XXX MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT THIS ONE USED I GUESS IT WAS TO MUCH TO HOPE FOR, FOR THIS DODGE RAM TO LAST LONG. *TR
