I was not able to enter the VIN # here it is: [xxx]. I was traveling @ 75 mph in the fast lane of interstate 95 in heavy traffic. Felt sudden loss of power & decline of speed, narrowly escaped major accident. Found that transmission lost 5th gear. Researched and found manufacturer published service bulletin (#21-10-98A) Sept. 98. I was never made aware of this known problem. Dodge does not consider this a safety concern - I wish they were in the vehicle when this happened instead of my two sons & I. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

NHTSA id 97V08400

- Chandler, AZ, USA

The problem is the same as NHTSA campaign id number: 97V084000. This has happened three times since the truck was new. Each time there was a lot of smoke, but no fire. Twice the truck was towed to a dealer and once it stayed together, but was leaking badly. Chrysler Corp. Says this truck is not included in the recall as does the dealer where it has been repaired. Twice the truck came to a stop where there was no shoulder to get off the roadway. Any information I could get would help.
