| On 7/26/03 my daughter and i had been driving for aprox. 30 miles and while maintaining a speed of 60-65mph the engine started to rev itself and would make sudden back & forth jerk motions. it would jump forward then stall. the brake pedal completely locked and would not move even when i stood on it. while still at aprox. 60 mph i was able to slow and eventually stop the truck by putting it in neutral and coasting as it eventually lost speed and stopped. an extremely dangerous situation (not the first) courtesy of dodge. in addition i have problems stopping the truck without it slidingwhen i am forced to come to a sudden stop. the truck skids or slides a few feet before it completely stops. this continues even with new tires. this situation almost caused a serious accident involving small children crossing the road. | |||

| There was no warning, oil pressure light just came on and we lost pressure. then there was a knocking noise under the hood. we had it towed to herb gordon dodge, which said the engine was a total loss. i had to drive it homeand the engine light came on. i called fitzgerald to see if i was covered under warranty. they said bring it in, so i had it towed to the dealer. they said the warrranty wouldn't cover it because i could not produce 15 maintenance receipts. i had a full service engine flush at 32,727 miles. they did not care, but said they could give me a new engine at $6000 or a patchup at $4200. the service manager also offered to put me in contact with a company that will finance engines.*ak | |||

| The cup holders in the front are very dangrous cause they will not hold a large cup shen you come to a stop. the drink goes flying at low speeds to the passanger or driver floor causeing driver to react with one hand to recover it , leaving the other on the steering wheel and causing you to jurk it and change lanes and possibel accident it has happened several times and one can not control your reaction.. very dangerous but a very simple fix!!*k | |||
