ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I OWN A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 POWERED BY THE HEMI ENGINE. I HAVE TALKED WITH TIMBERLINE DODGE LOCATED IN PORTLAND OR ABOUT A PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING WITH THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLING FOR NO REASON. ALL THAT THE DEALERSHIP DID WAS ADD ME TO A LIST OF OVER 30 OTHER CAN OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. TODAY I WAS NEARLY IN AN ACCIENT AS THE RESULT OF THE ENGINE QUITTING WITHOUT NOTICE. I WAS ENTERING A BUSY PARKING LIST WHEN I WAS SUDDENLY CONFRONTED WITH A STEERING WHEEL THAT WOULD NOT TURN AND BRAKES THAT WERE INEFFECTIVE. I HAVE RESEARCHED FURTHER AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURENCES SINCE PLEASE HELP.*AK
