Consumer Description

ENGINE FAILURE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE ENGINE WOULD STALL UPON ACCELERATION. MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 STALLED ON ME AFTER DRIVING ONTO A PATCH OF ICE CAUSING MY STEERING WHEEL TO BECOME DIFFICULT TO STEER AND THE TRUCK STARTED SLIDING DOWN AN ICY STREET, OFF THE ROAD AND DOWN A MOUNTAIN UNTIL IT CAME TO A STOP ON A TREE. SINCE THE TRUCK STALLED AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT IN TIME. THE TRUCK IS NOW A TOTAL LOSS. THE FRAME BENT IN THE FRONT DRIVERS AREA OF THE TRUCK, THE STEERING BECAME LOSE AND THE BACK PASSENGER QUARTER PANEL IS DAMAGED WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE TAIL GATE TO COME DOWN. *TR
