I HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH LOCAL CAR DEALER LAREDO DODGE LOCATED AT 6320 BOB BULLOCK LOOP, LAREDO, TEXAS. 78041. PHONE 956-267-8830, TO FIX THE TWO RECALLS ON MY DODGE RAM SLT 1500 2005 TRUCK AND AFTER THEY MAKING THE APPOINTMENTS, THEY CONTINUE TO CLAIM THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THESE TWO OPEN RECALLS AND THAT THEY WILL LET ME KNOW IN THE FUTURE. THAT'S THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME TWO WEEKS AGO. THEY EVEN CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW NOT TO FORGET AND BRING MY TRUCK FOR THE TWO OPEN RECALLS AND WHEN I GET THERE...THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE.

THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH MY DODGE 1500 ENGINE (2005). ON JULY 21, 2014, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TEMP CAGE STARTED MOVING TOWARD HOT. I GOT HOME, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND POPPED THE HOOD. THE COOLANT WAS COMPLETELY OUT! WENT TO PEP BOYS, FILLED IT UP AND TRIED TO START MY ENGINE, WOULD NOT START. AFTER GETTING IT TOWED TO THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS THE DIAGNOSIS WAS 4 CYLINDERS DROPPING AND NEEDING AN ENTIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THERE WAS NO "KNOWN" REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED AS ALL THE MECHANICAL PARTS WERE WORKING PROPERLY (INITIALLY THE FAN WAS TO BLAME -- BUT TURNED OUT IT WAS WORKING COMPLETELY NORMAL). $6,000 LATER (NEW ENGINE AND LABOR) I AM STILL WONDERING WHY THIS HAPPENED WITH NO ANSWERS. INSURANCE WON'T HELP, NO MECHANIC CAN EXPLAIN THIS TO ME. PLEASE HELP!

STEERING STICKS AND VERY LOOSE WHILE DRIVING FEEL LIKE THE TRUCK IS VERY HARD TO KEEP IN LINE, ALSO THE WAY IT RUST IS HORRIBLE AFTER LOOKING AT A LOT OF DODGES ON THE THEY ALL SEEM TO BE RUSTING IN THE SAME SPOTS.
