NHTSA Complaint #11073194 — 2011 DODGE RAM 1500

WE PURCHASED A 2011 RAM 1500 5.7L HEMI IN 2012 AND LOVED IT UP UNTIL NOVEMBER 2017, WENT IN TO POWER SAVING MODE WITH CEL ON. SCANNED CODES AND IT WAS TIMING CODE. SO WE REPLACED THE VVT SOLENOID AND IT IS RUNNING EVEN WORSE! WE H AVE SPENT OVER $2500 JUST TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THIS TRUCK! WE ARE BEYOND UPSET ABOUT IT, ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE DONT EVEN HAVE IT PAID OFF! IT HAS TONS WHITE SMOKE COMING OUT OF TAIL PIPE, TERRIBLE MISFIRE, SHAKING, BLOW BY, PRESSURE COMING OUT OF OIL FILL CAP, AND CEL IS ON. HAS CYLINDER 1 MI SFIRE. WE HAVE REDONE THE SPARK PLUGS, INTAKE MANIFOLD AND GASKETS, PCV, VVT SOLENOID,AIR FILTER, OIL FILTER, COIL PACK,INJECTOR CLIPS, AND MUCH MORE! HAVE TAKEN THIS TRUCK TO 4 ASE CERTIFIED MECHANICS (2 OF WHICH ARE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS) AND HAVE NO ANSWERS BESIDES POSSIBLE CAUSES CAMS AND LIFTERS AND THEY WANT ME TO JUST BUY ANOTHER ENGINE!! OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PISTONS,RINGS, CAM,LIFTERS, AND CRANK. $2500 PLUS IN JUST DIAGNOSING AND NO ANSWERS?! SEEMS PRETTY FISHY!
