Consumer Description

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 10 IN TRAFFIC I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES AND MY 2016 2500 THE ENGINE MADE A LOUD POP AND LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. AND DIDN'T REGAIN ENGINE POWER FOR 3 SECONDS. IT HAS DONE IT SEVERAL TIME SINCE. IT IS A VERY SCARY FEELING WHEN YOUR DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I DO NOT GET ANY CODES OR LIGHTS INDICATING A PROBLEM WHEN THIS HAPPENS. WAS TOLD BY DEALER SERVICE MANAGER THAT WITHOUT ANY CODES COMING UP THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM.
