 The turbo resonator came apart and completely shut down the turbo, resulting in complete loss of power on the freeway. very unsafe and have found that this is a common problem, but dodge will not do anything about it. a google search online will atleast to this fact and it is very dangerous. i was on the freeway when this happened and when you loose all power at once it makes for a very unsafe situation for everyone around and behind you as there is no way to accelerate to get to the side of the road, only able to coast. please make sure this problem is documented. ## vin failed ## dodge sprinter 2500 2005 ## *tr
