Ram 1500 4X4 SLT

  • 29,500 miles

Description : I own a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 QUAD CAB SLT VIN 1D7-HU18N53S-188168 Assembly point, Warren, Michigan.
The truck stalled while in traffic making a 10-15 mph right turn. The second occurrence was July15, 2004. Very close call here. I was in the Smokey mountains camping. The six hour drive home towing my popup was nerve racking to say the least. Especially, since my 13, 6 and 3 year
old were in the truck. I mentioned that the truck runs extremely rough intermittently to the dealer Morgan Dodge Durham North Carolina on at least two occasions. I am also experiencing an intermittent shudder that seems to be coming from the transmission, also mentioned to the dealer on at least two occasions. Now after the trip I experience a clunking when moving in reverse. The dealer simply said that they could not reproduce the shudder or stall. They haven't checked the clunking yet.
They were supposed to follow up with me regarding
the shudder and stall but as of this date, 7/18/2004
I have not yet receive a call back.
