 While pulling out into busy traffic my truck lost power and i had no acceleration. after about 30 seconds the vehicle kicked back in and took off. this has occurred multiple times, at random, with no warning. i have had it in the shop and repaired the throttle positioning sensor, and treated it for water in the gas. neither one of these solved the problems, and they have no answers for what else may be wrong. this is a dangerous situation that is not unique to my vehicle. i have read many other cases online for the same problem. i do hope that dodge issues a recall and finds a remedy before someone is seriously injured or killed. *tr

 Husband was driving the vehicle at about 45mph and without any warning the oil light came on and the motor blew a rod through the oil pan, if someone would have been behind him he would have been hit. have been looking for another motor for this vehicle and when asking they laugh about it, it is a 4.7 lt 8 cyl motor and apparently chrysler knows about the problem and yet nothing is being done about it. the oil was everywhere on the road after this happened and that in itself is a hazard. look online and a motor to replace it is in the 2 to 3 thousand range. we are still paying for this vehicle and that is without the motor price, look under problems for this truck and you will find a lot of comments about the motor blowing up with no warnings

 My 2003 dodge ram 1500 4.7 liter engine with 64000 mile oil pressure dropped suddenly without warning, cause was determined by dodge dealership to be sludge in engine, voiding my 70000 mile warranty, daimler chrysler assuming i did not maintain my engine properly, although i change oil myself usually every 4500 miles (book says 6000) and use best heavy duty filter. provided some official oil change receipts from popular quick oil change facility but that was not enough to enforce warranty. found thousands of same stories for my 4.7, dodge's 2.7 and other engines over the internet. dodge is one of the last hold outs as far as toyota, and other automobile manufacturers to pony up on poor engine design and new, lighter engines having more heat and more change of oil burn or oil get resulting in sludge even with 100% provable maintenance. under other circumstances, engines blow or burn up suddenly and that is not only as expensive as mine to fix ($4000 to $6000 repair) but dangerous to the occupants and public as well. more frequent oil changes and system flushes, or change to synthetic oil may help prevent or delay situation, but dodge has not released any such information to help or warn consumers. problem will only get worse as more dodge and chrsyler 1999 to 2005 engines reach mileage condition occurs (57000 to 77000, some as early as 20000). *jb

 Having driven 120 miles, i was 4 miles from home; turning a corner, the motor shut down and started missing. it was missing so bad that i thought if i let off the gas pedal, the motor would shut down. my truck was loaded with tools so i proceeded to go on the next 4 miles and risk it and not lose my tools. earlier as i was in a passing lane, i felt the motor shudder as if a spark plug was fouling or i had bad gas or a bad plug wire. if i was passing in a serious passing situation earlier in the day, and this motor shut down as it did, i wouldn't be writing this e-mail. this truck is equipped with a dodge hemi and is expected to pass with ease. this is a serious safety problem. i was told there are 115 people in line for this par,t and if i paid an extra $80 i would be bumped to #6 because they classified me as vehicle off road. i'm told by the dealer that number is growing. the part has yet to be received by the service dealer, and i am completely without transportation.*ak

 I've owned my 2003 dodge ram for less than 2 years. recently it felt like the idol was off, like it was going to stall. before i could get it into the shop it broke down while diving on the expressway and had to be towed. sludge was found in the engine, causing it to seize. this is impossible because i regularly change my oil as well as add oil as needed. the repair cost is $5000.00 they don't want to honor the warranty because i did not save all my oil change receipts.*ak

 My 2003 dodge ram 1500 was in the shop for an a/c repair when they had to remove the dash board. about 3 months later a small crack appeared, followed by many more larger cracks. in 2 different parts of my dash board. the dash board continues to spider crack 9 months later. the dealer looked at it early on and never contacted me back saying it is a problem w/ these trucks. nothing they will do about it. treated me as if it was my fault. blamed everything from the elements, the design, me and didn't care to help. my truck has been babied and has less than 60k miles. this is a defective dashboard/plastic and needs to be addressed. what's to happen if i am in an accident with airbags, this is my family vehicle...will this become shrapnel? as i read other complaints this has been an on going issue. why hasn't this been addressed, my truck has never be in an accident! no reason for this to happen. bad enough that the a/c failed at 51,000 miles at a huge cost but to end up with a broken dash is wrong!

 On monday september 17th while idling in park my 2003 dodge ram with 42,000 miles began to shake, make noise like there were rocks in the engine, and then shut off. i had it towed to century dodge in taylor michigan on telegraph road at roughly 9am on tuesday september 18th and was told at roughly 4:55pm that they had not had a chance to look at it. at 9:30am on wednesday i again spoke to the service department and was told they would have an answer for me by the end of the day. at 8:30am on thursday september 20th my wife called and was told that they again have not had a chance to look at it but they would have an answer to her by lunch time. they did call her at 11:30am and from what i understand, the valve spring in the number 7 cylinder head broke which caused the connecting rod to drop. apparently this is on the left side of the cylinder head. chrysler is replacing the left cylinder head, the lower block, and the exhaust intake. chrysler however will replace the parts in the right cylinder head that failed on the left side with new springs. i am no mechanic but common sense tells me that the same springs that were used on the number 7 cylinder valve were used on the other 7 cylinder valves. am i going to be stuck with a $6,000 engine repair at 71,000 miles? all i am asking for is chrysler to replace all the defective parts whether they have failed or not. or extend the powertrain warranty to 83,000 miles which will prove to me that the valve springs have and will last for more than 42,318 miles. for someone that has owned chrysler products all his life and believe that they are the best products out there this has left a very sour taste in my mouth and actually considering going to either chevy or nissan for my next truck purchase which hopefully isn't 30,000 miles from now. if chrysler truly stood behind their products it would be something they would have suggested rather than tell me that they will only replace parts that have failed. *jb
