MY TRUCK DIED FOR NO REASON. IT ONLY HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT AND IT IS ONLY 2 YRS OLD. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS WILL BE AN ONGOING THING FROM NOW ON. I DON'T TRUST MY TRUCK ANYMORE ON THE FREEWAY. PLUS, I NOTICED THAT 7 OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS MEANS THAT DODGE NEEDS TO DO AN INVESTIGATION AND A POSSIBLE RECALL BEFORE THERE ARE DEATHS RELATING TO THIS.
I DROVE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL TODAY AND WHEN I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT THE TRUCK GAVE A FEW SHUDDERS AND DIED ON ME. NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY AT THIS TIME AND THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I HAD A FRIEND, WHO'S CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY AND SHE WAS HIT BY A SEMI TRUCK AND DIED INSTANTLY. I NOTICED THAT 7 OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON THIS SITE. I THINK THAT IS REASON ENOUGH FOR DODGE TO DO A FULL INVESTIGATION. THIS IS THE SECOND DODGE RAM I HAVE OWNED AND IT WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE LAST IF DODGE DOES NOT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY. MY TRUCK IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. SAFETY IS A MAIN CONCERN WHEN I BUY A VEHICLE AND I FEEL COMPLETELY LET DOWN BY DODGE!
Every time I fill my fuel tank the vehicle stalls when coming to a stop and check engine light is on with codes for evap leak. I have taken it to 3 dealerships and they say they cant find a problem. I am about to park this dam truck in the f---ing front window there showroom
This is not a random incident any longer. I have read countless complaints now in reference to the 5.9 HEMI engines stalling for no reason. I have cleaned my throttle body, and still stalls. It happens when dropping below 1000 RPMs approaching 500RPMs. Once the vehicle slows to reach idle RPMs (just above 500RPMs) it stalls. It happens sometimes 2-3 times a day. Sometimes slowing into a turn OR slowing down to pass through an intersection. I have had my truck stall in various occasions. It will start back up, but when it stalls you lose your power steering... This is a huge risk when going into a turn. I usually throw it into neutral and start it back up right away. But this has to be murder on my starter and engine. My Dealer says there is nothing wrong, but now that I am out of my warranty period, I am battling with keep taking it back to dealer and risk paying out the ass for testing or random attempts to fix it. This definitely has to be a recall issue if more than 5 people have the same problem.
My Dodge Pickup turns off at stop lights, No warning- just shuts off!! The service departments solution to this - call the 1-800 number given and they will send a tow truck - don't try to start it up again. I have a baby and this would be a GREAT inconvenience to us! But they can not find the problem and the computer doesn't even flag when it stops - so they think we are lying!! So we start it right up and go on our way. What else can we do besides look into trading the stupid thing in. I'm so frustrated but after all the times it has shut off and the times we take it to be serviced and NOTHING gets fixed, and on top of that we have a lot of problems with the service department "service advisors" and their attitudes and never calling us back and then that receptionist in the service department. I have come to the conclusion - it's time to move on.

Problem started a year ago , I was driving on an icy road at around 50 mph, had to slam the brakes, and the engine then stalled causing brakes and steering to barely function. I repeated the process with same result, went to my dealer and they could find no problem.
Now my truck stalls occasionally when I press the brakes when I approach a stop or intersection , catches me by surprise... go through stop........ Now my truck is at the dealer as this morning same thing occurred but now no more steering and brakes at all. The remedy before was I shut off motor, restart and brakes and steering come back to life.
I thought I was the only one experiencing this problem, as my dealer said they had never seen such a problem.......... but I see on this web site 2 others have the same problem
STALLS ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP! WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT IS A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION AND HAD GOTTEN A NEW PROGRAM DOWNLOADED FROM CHRYSLER AND IT DID NOT WORK. IF FACT, WENT FROM 4-5 X A WEEK TO 5 A DAY! SO ITS WORSE NOW THEN BEFORE. GOING BACK TODAY 6/15/05 TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO NOW. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT DIES IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND LIGHT TURNS RED AND YOU'RE THERE TRYING TO RESTART AND GO INTO A PANIC. REALLY SUCKS. SO FAR, IT STARTS RIGHT UP.
