Seats will not recline nor flip forward. This has caused a back seat passenger to fall getting out of the 1997 Dodge Ram becoming injured. Vehicle misses, stutters and engine pulses at 50 mph. Has been doing this since first onwer. Transmission rebuilt and still does it. Dealer can not find problem after spending $900 on a tune-ep and diagnostics. Check engine light stays on. Doing since first owner. Dealer checks, charged hundreds of dollars and within 8 hours of use light comes back on and stays light. Occasionally it will blink then remain on. Taken to dealer again and they stated this vehicle is sensitive even a gas cap not tight will trigger the check engine light. This light remains on, what is wrong with my engine - nothing!
I was drving down the road when the truck caught on fire, the front cab only. Me and my children jumped out just in time before it was engulfed in flames.
While driving, the vehicle would stall. The consumer managed to pull over, but was unable to restart the vehicle and had it towed. The dealership mechanic informed the consumer that the problem was due to the fuel pump module. He tried to repair the vehicle 3 times, but was unable to resolve the problem.

Vehicle experienced problems with the intake gaskets. Consumer replaced them twice and then had problems with carbon build up. The vehicle needed a new engine. The problem started when the gaskets failed, which caused oil to leak into the valves.
Consumer was traveling on highway and another vehicle jumped in front. Vehicle was making a noise coming from the tires. Also, oil was leaking from vehicle. Consumer has contacted the dealership.
The automobile shop that repaired my truck said that when the dealer replaced my rear main seal the job was done improperly. That was most likely the reason the engine failed. The also noticed that when the new parts came in the new oil pick up tube screan was a lot larger than the old one.
