Shortly after purchasing the vehicle I was backing up in driveway and the vehicle hesitated, began moving, and then stalled. That same afternoon I was leaving work and the same identical thing happened. I contacted the dealer, and they stated there was a technical service bulletin and to bring it in. I took it to dealer, and they did an update or something. Recently it started hesitating when put in gear and has stalled on several occasions either when being placed in gear or when coming to a stop. It acted like it didn't want to go, then like the transmission was binding, and just before stalling it lunged forward or backwards, depending on direction of travel, before stalling.
This has been a problem on and off for 2 years. Dealer unable to find problem. While driving our 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pick up this last weekend, as we accelerated in traffic, the truck engine choked and then began to stall. We had just turned on to the highway when the engine power began to fail for the fifth time. We were almost hit by on coming traffic due to the engine failure.
