Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 75 AND MY CAR SLIMIEST TURNED OFF AND SPUTTERED. I SLOWED DOWN LIKE I STOPPED ON BREAKS AND A 18 WHEELER HAD TO CHANGE LANES. I HEARD A POP AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN GAS BUT TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND OUT THE ENGINE LIFTERS HAS BROKEN/POPPED. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE LIVES TO BE LOST IF THE TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP AND MY SERVICE TECHNICIANS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO NUMEROUS RAM TRUCKS WITH HEMI'S 2013, 2014, AND 2015. THE MILEAGE RANGE THAT THIS HAPPENS IS FROM 40,000 TO 80,000 MILES WITHOUT WARNING.
