2006 DODGE SPRINTER 2500 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

AUGUST 22, 2010, I WAS ON I 25 IN MY WINNEBAGO ITASCA NAVION TRAVELING AT 60 TO 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY LOST POWER. I STOPPED, GOT MORE DIESEL AND STARTED DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS BY STILL LOST POWER AND COULD BARELY CLIMB HILLS. I WAS JUST LIMPING ALONG WITH MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON HOPING I WOULDN'T BE REARENDED. THE MODEL IS 2006 WITH A MERCEDES/BENZ 5 CYLINDER TURBO ENGINE WITH 19,500 MILES ON IT. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE? *TR

I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS A BIG SLOW MOVING TRUCK GOING UPHILL WHEN MY VAN SUDDENLY LOST POWER. ANOTHER 18 WHEELED TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME ALSO TRYING TO PASS THE SAME SLOW MOVING TRUCK WHICH WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE. THE TRUCK BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON HIS BRAKES TO AVOID REAR-ENDING ME. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE TRUCK WHICH I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PASS, PASSED ME SO I COULD GO BACK TO THE LEFT LANE CAUSING IRATE MOTORISTS BEHIND ME AND CAUSING A LOT OF SAFETY CONCERNS. IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND I WAS TRAVELING WITH WIFE AND TWO KIDS. *TR

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2006 DODGE SPRINTER AND THE ENGINE JUST BLEW AT 115,000 MILES. THIS IS UNHEARD OF IN DIESEL ENGINES. THE VEHICLE WAS PLAGUED FROM THE START AND THE DEALERSHIP CLEARLY ADMITTED IT WAS "CURSED" AND WE SHOULD HAVE GOT MORE THAN 115,000 MILES OUT OF IT, YET NO ONE WANTS TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTS. *TR

2006 DODGE SPRINTER 2500 HC PASSENGER APPROX. 23K MILES, 2 YEARS OLD, UNDER CHRYSLER FULL WARRANTY 1. VEHICLE STOPS RUNNING ALTOGETHER WHILE IN DRIVE, TOTAL ENGINE CUT-OUT, BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON UPON SLOWING AT AN INTERSECTION, TURNING A CORNER AT SLOW RATE OF SPEED. YOU CAN PUT VAN IN NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RE-START IT AND IT RUNS FINE. 2. THIS TENDS TO HAPPEN ONLY IN HOT WEATHER, IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY WITH THE REAR A/C RUNNING FULL BLAST. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING RANDOMLY FOR 10 MONTHS OR MORE, BUT NEVER IN THE WINTER WHEN NOT RUNNING THE A/C. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT IT. IT HAPPENED FOUR TIMES THIS WEEK, MANY TIMES OFF AND ON BEFORE THAT. THE VAN WILL TEND TO BE "SLUGGISH" SOMETIMES IN THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES WITHOUT DYING. 3. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE SINCE THIS SPRING. . THE DEALERS CANNOT...
