Consumer Description

EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAB VIA THE HEATER-A/C FRESH AIR INTAKE. DOES NOT DO THIS WHEN THE "RECIRCULATION" MODE IS USED. I'VE HAD AN INDEPENDENT SHOP AND THREE DIFFERENT DODGE DEALER SHOPS CHECK FOR THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST THREE SHOPS COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE LAST SHOP SAID THERE WAS A SMALL LEAK IN THE EGR VALVE ASSEMBLY. I HAD DEALERSHIP SHOP (LITHIA DODGE OF ROSEBURG,OR) REPLACE THE EGR VALVE/COOLER ASSEMBLY (AT A COST OF $1,068.84). THIS DID NOT CURE OR REDUCE THE PROBLEM. MY FEELING IS SINCE THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SMOG SYSTEM-MOST LIKELY THE DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER OPERATION. I DO KNOW THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS YEAR DIESEL TRUCK PROBLEM. IS THERE A CURE??? ALSO, THE TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE ANY BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPE. I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE CORRECT OIL AND FUEL IN THIS VEHICLE. ALL UPDATES ARE CURRENT ACCORDING TO DODGE DEALER. *TR
