the catalytic converter plugged off the engine so bad that it stalled the truck and made it back fore like crazy. Took it to the dealer because it would not start it was fixed under warranty. low and behold it happened again the dealer argued with me that my catalyic converter was not broken any how gritting his teeth he fixed it again it happened i received notice from dodge corp that that catalytic converter was a recall and needed to be taken care of again i went in to the dealer well instead of being business like he was aggressive and not willing to comply with the letter from dodge, it was only when i began to get loud that he decided to fix it, this time he did not check the timing and i have had a tick in my engine ever since if i go up a hill or have to put my foot on the gas. one disappointment after another dodge definitely is not the same company they used to be

Noticed a very very substantial decrease in performance one day, it almost seemed like my truck felt like it was unable to exhale it's exhaust. I felt the flow of exhaust flowing out of the pipes, and noticed it was at an unusually low volume, and rate of flow was easily reduced by half. RPM's were also unstable. Had the catalytic converter replaced as soon as possible.
