NHTSA Complaint #10934310 — 2011 DODGE RAM 1500

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND MY ENGINE DIED. I COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANE AND MY TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. ENGINE CRANKED, BUT WOULD NOT START. SOMEONE HELPED ME PUSH MY TRUCK OUT OF THE TRAFFIC LANES (VERY RISKY FOR THEM AND FOR ME AS TRAFFIC WAS STILL MOVING, SWERVING AND CAUSING A BACK UP.) AFTER ABOUT TEN-FIFTEEN MINUTES, THE TRUCK STARTED AND I DROVE IT HOME. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND ON AND IT SEEMED OK. NEXT MORNING TRUCK WOULD NOT START, I SPRAYED STARTING FLUID IN AIR INTAKE AND IT TRIES TO START, SO I AM GUESSING FUEL PROBLEMS. TRUCK STARTED AFTER MUCH CRANKING, BUT DON'T TRUST IT, NOT SAFE TO GO ON FREEWAY AND CAUSE ANOTHER SCARY SITUATION. RESEARCH TELLS ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I DID NOT SUFFER ANY LOSSES, BUT MAY HAVE CAUSED OTHER ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE TRAFFIC BACK UP I CAUSED. *TR
