| Oil light came on, limped home and towed it to the garage. they dropped the pan and said the engine needed to be replaced. $4, later we had a new engine. when i went into the shop to see the one they removed it was coated in sludge. now that i had seen all other similar complaints i wonder if dodge was doing anything about he problem. we all want our money back. *ak | |||

| Since july of 2005, my 1999 dodge durango has been stalling. i have had the vehicle serviced several times at the dodge dealership. the dealer has replaced several parts, but the vehicle continues to stall. in august of 2005, the vehicle stalled while driving, resulting in a crash that left my family stranded and the vehicle in a ditch. on wednesday, september 28, the vehicle stalled while driving to the store. i was able to steer it into a parking lot, but i was almost hit by another vehicle. now what? the dealer looked at the car, but was not able to pinpoint the cause of the stalling because the vehicle was running at the time. do i need to wait until there is a death? please help my family.*jb | |||

| 1999 dodge cummins diesel engine; poor design of lift pump and injection pump leads to a variety of failures on 1998.5 through 2002 year models. engine will not accelerate particularly when cold. when leaving stop sign or light, accelerator can be pumped, etc. but engine remains at idle. many owners experience this problem. injection pump - vp44 made by robert bosch. engine by cummins. truck by dodge. won't let my 17 year old drive this vehicle for fear he will do a normal take off and will be broadsided by other traffic when engine does not respond. eventually, lift pump fails leading to injection pump failure. none of the involved manufactures will address the problem. they just continue to sell you replacement parts that fail in a similar manner. *jb | |||
