After replacing every suggested part, Cleaning throttle body. Still occurs regular. This is serious! Pulled out into traffic and truck decides to just die with no notice. I have a family. I can not afford to continue to throw money at a resolution with failed results. On top of that the tcm went out while driving and head lights going on and off. I accepted the fact that dodge had made junk. I replaced the tcm. Drive safer because it will die and so will I. No recalls no lights. The battery just up and died. no notice! Replaced the battery it went about 3 weeks without stalling. So I had the alternator checked. Well it checked out good? I believe its power related. So many electronics running off the motor and battery that it falls just below standards and starts stalling. Still Dodges responsibility to recall and resolve due to the fact that it occurs without notification to the driver and is unsafe to the point of serious damage or death. If anyone disagrees, come get my truck load your family in it and go to walmart. Oh make sure you drive it normal. Without regard that it might stall. Dealers cant fix this problem because they dont know what to replace. Dont waste money going to them. Try charging your battery overnight and try it the next day if the problem is better or no longer occurs then you will know that you have the same problem that I still have. I own 3 dodge vehicles! If I knew how to complain for recall I would!
