NHTSA Complaint #729161 — 1999 DODGE RAM

WHEN ACCELERATING ENGINE PINGS-PARTICULARY ON HILLS AT HIGHER SPEEDS/SECOND TIME THEY SUGGESTED IT WAS FUEL QUALITY AND ON LAST COMPLAINT THEY ATTEMPTED TO DECARBONIZE ENGINE.AND SUGGEST USING FUEL ADDITIVE AT EVERY 3 THOUSAND MILES- ALSO STATED THAT THIS SPARKPLUG KNOCK WOULD NOT HARM ENGINE- GARDEN CITY DODE MI. WAS VERY NICE AND ADMITTED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS ACCURED ON OTHER VEHICLES. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS NOT HOW A NEW ENGINE SHOULD PERFORM AND WILL BRING PROBLEMS DOWN THE LINE -ESPECIALLY WHEN WARRENTY IS GONE- IS THIS HOW A NEW ERNGINE SHOULD PERFORM AND IT SEAMS QUITE EVIDENT THAT IT WILL SHORTEN THE QUALITY AND LIFE OF THE ENGINE- ALSO THE KNOCK CONTINUES AND IVE EXHAUSTED ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR FUEL. REGARDLESS OF THE BRAND AND STILL USING RECOMENDED OCTAIN AS SCINCE DAY ONE (87)
