2006 DODGE SPRINTER 2500 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I WAS DRIVING ON A RELATIVELY FLAT ROAD AND HEARD A POP NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND THE VEHICLE LOST APPROXIMATELY 40 TO 60% ENGINE POWER, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO MY HOME LESS THAN 5 MILES DISTANCE, I GOT IT INTO A SHOP FOR REPAIRS AND THEY WERE NOT AN AUTHORIZED WARRANTY REPAIR SHOP, WHICH COST ME $404. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITY APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES AWAY.

RESONATOR FAILURE ON A 2006 DODGE SPRINTER (WINNEBAGO VIEW). WHEN THE RESONATOR BREAKS, IT POSES A SIGNIFICANT DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING DUE TO THE SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THIS SUDDEN RAPID DECELERATION WITHOUT ANY WARNING SIGN OF ANY KIND CAUSES A SERIOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO US BUT ALSO TO ANY OTHER PERSON ON THE ROAD. IT HAS BROKEN DOWN ON MAY 17, 2007, MAY 27, 2009 AND AUGUST 17, 2010. REPAIR WAS MADE BY REPLACING THE RESONATOR. *TR

MY DODGE SPRINTER, 2006, WINNEBAGO'S TURBO RESONATOR HAS FAILED ON ME TWICE, 11-5-2007 AND 5-28-2010. THE FAILURE IS FAST AND THE SPRINTER GOES DOWN TO 10 TO 40 MPH WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS! CHRYSLER HAS REPLACED THE RESONATOR BOTH TIMES BUT OBVIOUSLY IT WILL FAIL AGAIN! *TR
