Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 50 MPH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE WARNING LIGHT FLASHED SERVICE 4WD, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND MANY OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND ELECTRONIC SELECTOR. AFTER STOPPING, WITHOUT POWER BRAKES WORKING, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START. I ALLOWED TO TRUCK TO SIT, WITH FLASHERS ON, FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. AFTER THE 10 MINUTE WAIT, THE TRUCK STARTED AND SEEM TO DRIVE NORMALLY. I WENT DIRECTLY TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP (SHARP DODGE IN PULASKI, TN). THE TECHNICIAN WASN'T ABLE TO FIND A "CODE" RELATED TO THE SHUT DOWN. THEY ONLY FOUND INDICATIONS OF "VOLTAGE OVERLOAD" NOT FURTHER DEFINED. THIS OCCURRED ON APRIL 8, 2021 ON HWY 31A, APPROX 0600 HRS NEAR THE CITY OF PULASKI, TN 38478. NOTE:. THE ENGINE /LONG BLOCK WAS REPLACED BY THE SAME DEALER AT172000 AND UNDER MOPAR WARRANTY DUE TO INTERNAL ENGINE ISSUES INVOLVING #5 LIFTER AND DAMAGED CAM SHAFT.
