We own a 2002 dodge ram 1500 quadcab 4x4, just shortly over a year and about 27k miles, my wife and I started having problems with the engine just shutting off. We've taken the truck in several times to the shop, under the initial warranty, and even after the warranty time out its been in the shop several times under the same "ticket". The dealership finally convinced us to let them allow one of their workers to drive it back and forth to work to have the problem happen to someone that works there and after two days, it just shut off on him. They are aware of the problem, they contacted the district manager for chrysler and we've been told they have no clue how to fix it so we have to deal with it. We purchased the extended warranty and it still doesn't matter. Now they wont even return our calls. Just last week my wife was driving the truck, taking the exit from creswell, or and getting onto I-5 to head into eugene, which the on-ramp is a standard circular ramp, and as she was turning, only going about 20 to 30 MPH, the engine stalled again, leaving her powerless in the middle of the turn forcing her off the ramp and into the muddy middle section almost causing a three car pileup. This has got to stop, this engine is failing at least once a week if not more and is going to end up killing us and chrysler doesn't care.

Purchased 2002 quad cab with 23 miles form turlock auto plaza in april 2002, started noticing problems right away, door locks not unlocking, windows not operating, engine stalling, transmission slipping, radio intermittantly working, etc... Visited 3 local dealerships. Final diagnosis "gremlins" ??? Cannot duplicate problem . Even though they themselves noted the transmission slipping. On august 27, 2004 engine "blew up", on a major mountainous highway in the slow lane, vehicle was towed to turlock dodge. Service advisor stated the vehicle would be covered under warranty as long as there were no modifications to the vehicle. On several occasions it was stated the vehicle would be covered and parts were ordered. However when the regional rep for daimler chrysler went to see the vehicle. He denied on grounds that oil sludge was present and stated an engine can't do that according to turlock dodge mechanic?, eventhough the truck was sitting in a puddle of normal looking oil. And the sludge was only in the pan. Rep refuses to contact us, to tell us why hes refusing on grounds of sludge. Considering this can happen when crank bearings go out. We have been refused by daimler chrysler,and the dealership to cover under warranty even though we have not reached our warranty limit. Also be aware as of 2002 daimler chrsyler is no longer participating in the lemon law program.

I purchased a 2002 quad cab 4x4 in february 2002. From about the third month, and until now, at times the truck will shut off itself, normally at a stop sigh or light. There are times when the truck was rolling to a stop that it shuts down. This seems to happen more in cooler temperature. I had the dealership check the truck approximately 10 times for this condition and they say nothing and they cant duplicate the problem. Then they installed a vdaq system (the only one in this country) to monitor the computer and be monitored by chrysler 24hrs a day 7 days a week. About 3 weeks ago I get a call from the service writer, rob, asking me if on the 25 and 26 of august if I had started and turned off the truck 6 times in 15 minutes on those two days. Those were work days so the truck was parked. After the last time it stalled on september. 25 I waited to hear from chrysler, no call. On monday the 29th I called rob at service and asked him if he had heard from chrysler. He said that the last he heard they wanted me to take the truck in to remove the monitoring device, I told him they could have the whole stinking truck back. I also have a bell that sounds with a light on the dash that comes on then shuts off. This lemon dodge will be the last dodge I will ever own.
