What owners wrote
While driving 55 MPH right knuckle arm broke, causing safety problems. Consumer notes vehicle did not hit a pothole. Cause unknown.
I own a 1996 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.2 liter engine. The engine oil light would flicker when stopped at a stop sign in drive. I took it to the dodge dealership and they said that the engine would have to be replaced due to the wear. I have used mobile 1 synthetic oil since the breakin oil and never let the oil in the vehicle over 4,000 miles. Each time the oil filter was also changed. The vehicle has 106,000 miles on it and the engine replacement is costing me $4.700.
