The power control module and body control modules blew out twice within the first 4000 miles of the trucks life. The leaky intake manifold was detected after several complaints of a tapping noise in the engine when accelerating. Still not fixed vehicle still has real bad tapping in the engine. Truck died while driving down the road. Left me stranded. Diagnosis was that the fuel pump module went out. Electrical problems with the vehicle also shorted out the cassette player. I have also heard strange buzzing noises in the cab while driving. Took back tot he dealer and they said they could not find anything wrong. Vehicle is still not running properly. **dimsii IVOQ entry posted after 12/12/02 cut-over to artemis*734309

Engine has stalled twice without warning on freeway while traveling at highway speeds. All electrical and steering power was lost. It could be restarted while moving. Dealer was unable to locate source of problem. Consumer felt this problem was similar to Ford truck recall in ca.

The truck is over charging, causing the truck to produce over 18 volts, and the dome and headlights to flicker on and off (particularly dangerous on a curvy road at night). Vehicle has been at dealership for three months. All attemps to correct issue with the assistance of DaimlerChrysler have failed. Many shops will not take these trucks because this problem seems unresovable. The vehicle is dangerous to drive and unsellable. Due to the increasing number of reported vehicles with a similar problem DaimlerChrysler has admitted there is a safety issue, but is taking no action to resolve it at this time.
