2005 DODGE RAM 1500 Engine Problems

There is a class action law suit for newer rams mine has always done same thing since i have owned it occasionaly during slow speed turns it will shut off it will restart imediatly i have owned vehicle 4 years bought with 127000 miles now have 205000 miles on it

This will be the 4th time since late 2020 that this vehicle will stall either at a stop or at low speed. EGR valve has been replaced 3 times. You lose power steering and harder to brake but for the grace of God my wife has not had an accident. If you search online there are hundreds of similar complaints.

Tensioner for timing chain broke at highway speed truck stalled with no control or power steering to steer or breaks to immediate stop instead had to slow roll lucky live in small farm town with low population not alot of traffic could have been bad. Took to dealer dodge service department they noticed oil pan gasket was leaking when removed oil pan the tensioner and timing chain pieces were all in the bottom of oil pan..just like the challenger and charger cars the next group to have same motor as my truck and same issues with the MDS Being the problem on the tensioner why breaks in first place. Why theres recalled and not my same motor and problem? Any ways it failed and had to pay out of pocket on a faulty tensioner that is a very big safety concern and it I'm afraid caused more damage then that to other internal parts of my engine...

I want to make a complaint because the engine in my 2005 dodge ram 1500 Magnum stalling very often, engine stalling on the traffic freeway couple of times that I have to restart the vehicle quick, good thing cars going slow. The most scary time was when I was making a right turn on this busy avenue and the engine stalled and almost got hit by other's cars the engine stalling very often that already know when it dies I put it on P and restart it as quick as I can before I get hit by other car. The next issue. It makes a grinding sound underneath when taking off at very low speed. I not sure if it is the differential or a wheel but it something there I took it to the mechanic he fix something that was woren it connects to the differential but still makes the noyse. Too many problems with this truck.

STALLED AS I WAS PULLING OFF HIGHWAY, GOING INTO GAS STATION. LOST STEERING ALMOST HIT GAS PUMPS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE REPORTED THIS. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I ALSO REPORTED THE ISSUE TO A DEALERSHIP A FEW YEARS AGO.

MY 2005 DODGE RAM HAS BEEN STALLING WHILE IDILING AT STOP LIGHTS/SIGNS. IT WAS THROWING A CODE OF P0115. I HAVE NOW REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY, EGR VALVE, THERMOSTAT, ECT SENSOR, AND CAM SENSOR . THE TRUCK IS AT THE DODGE DEALERS FOR NOW 9 DAYS. THE SERVICE TECH ARE PULLING OUT THEIR HAIR TRYING TO FIND THE ISSUE. I SEE THAT OTHER DODGE TRUCKS AND CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. SO WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THIS ITEM? THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. ESPECIALLY WHEN THE TRUCK DIES WHILE TURNING I COULD GET HIT. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ON MY OWN FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. NOW THE SERVICE TECHS ARE AT THEIR WITS END TOO.

MY 05 DODGE RAM HAS BEEN STALLING IN TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEEDS REGULARLY OF LATE. IT ALSO HAPPENED RECENTLY WHILE PARKED FOR THE FIRST TIME. IT OCASIONALLY (1 FAILURE OUT OF 7) GIVES AN ERROR CODE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHICH READS AS A BAD CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR. I HAVE PUT 3 ON IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. IT STARTED AS INTERMITENT AND HAS BECOME A STEADY ISSUE. TRUCK HAS NEVER RUN HOT, NO NOISES FROM ENGINE TO INDICATE A BAD BEARING OR MIS ALIGNEMENT. WHEEL TEETH ARE NOT BROKEN OR WORN AND THERE IS NOT BUILDUP OF FLAKES OR SHAVINGS ANYWHERE THAT WOULD BE CAUSING A FUALTY SIGNAL. WIRING RINGS OUT AS GOOD. REPLACING THE SENSOR WAS ALLOWING NORMAL OPERATION FOR A SHORT PERIOD BUT IT IS RE-OCCURING AT A FASTER RATE EACH TIME. TRUCK DOES, SO FAR, CONTINUE TO RESART ALMOST IMEDIATELY BUT STILL PRESENTS CONSIDERABLE RISK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THIS WAS LOOKED AT PREVIOUSLY AND TSB 18-013-05 WAS RELEASED AS A "FIX." IT HAS NOT BEEN A SUCCESSFUL FIX AS THE ISSUES CONTINUE TO RE-OCCUR WITH WHAT APEARS TO BE A FAIRLY ALARMING RATE. TRUCK CURRENTLY HAS 160,750 MILES ON IT. THE LAST 3 SENSORS WERE INSTALLED IN 2 YEARS AND LESS THAN 20,000 MILES.

THIS WAS MY FATHERS TRUCK. I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY WHEN HE PURCHASED IT. UPON HIS DEATH, I BEGAN DRIVING THE TRUCK. IT WAS STILL BRAND NEW, BY APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS. IN ONE INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING IN SATICOY, SOUTH ON THE 118 BEFORE GOING OVER THE BRIDGE. AS I GOT A YELLOW LIGHT, I SLOWED DOWN AND THE TRUCK EVENTUALLY STALLED AND HAD NO ABILITY TO STEER. I WAS IN THE TRUCK, WITH MY MOTHER, AT AN INTERSECTION AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OUR LIVES WERE IN DANGER DUE TO TRAFFIC. UPON RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, I RESUMED TO MY DESTINATION. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I ARRIVED TO WHO IS NOW MY SISTER IN LAWS HOUSE, LOCATED IN SIMON WAY. IN THAT EVENING IT WAS MY TURN TO DRIVE TO OXNARD COLLEGE. AS I PULLED OUT OF HER DRIVEWAY, THE TRUCK AGAIN STALLED. I HAD TO RESTART IT AGAIN AND DECIDED THAT WE WOULD GO TO SCHOOL IN HER VEHICLE. THESE TWO INCIDENCES ARE JUST A COUPLE OF MANY BAD EARLY ON EXPERIENCES WITH THE 2005 DODGE RAM TRUCK I HAD AND WOULD GO TO YOU GUYS AND COMPLAIN, AND YOU GUYS NEVER DID ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE NOTHING EVER RESULTED IN YOUR DIAGNOSTIC AND WOULD HAPPEN TO YOU GUYS WHEN ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS IN YOUR POSSESSION. ATTACHED SEE EXHIBIT 1 WHICH SHOWS OF A VEHICLE RENTAL ON 12/06/06 WHEN THE DODGE TRUCK WAS IN YOUR POSSESSION. I PRECISELY RECALL WHY I HAD THE STRATUS RENTAL AND IT WAS BECAUSE CROWN DODGE HAD MY TRUCK, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. CROWN DODGE WAS BILLED FOR THE RENTAL. WELL, CROWN DODGE INSPECTED THE TRUCK, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. EXHIBIT 2 DEMONSTRATES ANOTHER TIME THAT I COMPLAINED BECAUSE OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. TO DATE, THE DODGE RAM TRUCK 1500 CONTINUES TO STALL. MY HUSBAND USES THIS VEHICLE TO DRIVE TO WORK. AT TIMES HE USES THIS VEHICLE TO TAKE OUR CHILDREN OUT AND I AM ALWAYS CONCERNED BECAUSE OF THIS.

THE TRUCK STALLS WHEN SLOWING FOR A STOP OR IDLING AROUND A CORNER. THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP AT THAT POINT. WHETHER IT'S IDLING IN A TRAFFIC JAM, COMING TO A STOP, OR IDLING AROUND THE CORNER, YOU WILL SUDDENLY HAVE NO POWER BUT EVERYTHING ELSE IS ON. NOT THE ENGINE AND IT WAS SO SMOOTH THAT YOU DON'T NOTICE UNTIL YOU CAN'T BRAKE OR STEER. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THERE WAS AN INVESTIGATION BUT IT WAS CLOSED WITHOUT RESOLUTION. CASE NUMBER EA05018. THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM AND WE THE PEOPLE ARE SPENDING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE PARTS THAT ARE JUST PART OF A TROUBLE SHOOTING ISSUE AND MOST OF US STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. AND IT'S THE SAME FOR ALL OF US. PLEASE RELOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. IF I WERE THE ONLY ONE I COULD UNDERSTAND BUT I AM NOT. WE LOVE OUR TRUCKS BUT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. LAST NIGHT I WAS IN A DOUBLE TURN INTERSECTION WHEN IT SHUT OFF. THANKFUL I WAS IN THE OUTER LANE AND HIT THE MEDIAN AND NOT ANOTHER CAR. IF YOU READ ON CAR COMPLAINTS.COM UNDER 2005 DODGE RAM 1500 STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING, YOU WILL SEE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE LOADS OF PEOPLE. THEY THINK THE REPAIR FIXES BUT IT DOES NOT AND THE ISSUE DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT STARTED OCCASIONALLY BUT NOW IT'S ALMOST DAILY AND MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY. PLEASE PLEASE HELP! THIS STARTED IN 2009 WHEN WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. NOT SURE IF PREVIOUS OWNER HAD ISSUE BUT IT MAY BE WHY IT WAS TRADED IN.

MY 2005 DODGE RAM SRT-10 VIPER TRUCK ENGINE STALLS/SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING, NO CODES, NO ERRORLIGHTS WHILE DRIVING...I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK STALLING OUT WHEN PARKING OR GOING THROUGH SLOW TURNS.

WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED MY RPMS DROP DRAMATICALLY AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE TRUCK WANTS TO STALL. STARTED SURGING AND STALLING SO IN IT WENT IN AGAIN, THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE IAC MODULE ...AND THEN THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PUMP'SO THEY TESTED THE FUEL RAIL AND CLAIM THAT IT WAS LOSING 5% OF ITS TORQUE'BUT NOT TO BE CONCERNED'THEN THEY THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE MAP SENSOR'BUT NO !...AGAIN WITH NO INDICATION, NO ERROR LIGHTS; AND NO CODES' ' AND THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS STILL CAN NOT GET IT TO RUN WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF ONCE YOU STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR IT DIES' TO DEALER FOR CHECKUP.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2014 FROM THE FAMILY OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER WHO WAS DECEASED. IT NOW HAS ABOUT 116,000 MILES. THE ENGINE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY AND RANDOMLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, OFTEN WHILE TURNING ON CURVES OR AT INTERSECTIONS, BUT NOT ALWAYS. I HAVE MADE ALL REPAIRS RECOMMENDED BY DODGE AND OTHER MECHANICS, BUT IT STILL STALLS. THE DODGE PEOPLE SAY THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE INTERNET IS FULL OF ACCOUNTS OF VERY SIMILAR SITUATIONS.

BLEW A ROD AND REAR AXLE BROKE

THE ENGINE STALL WHICH APPEARS YOU HAVE INVESTIGATED IS CONCERNING FOR ME. MULTIPLE TIMES I HAVE BEEN MAKE A R TURN AND HAD THE ENGINE "DIE" IN DECELERATION THROUGH THE TURN RESULTING IN THE TRUCK LOSING POWER STEERING AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF THE TRUCK. THE RECENT INCIDENT ALMOST RESULTED IN ME STRIKING A MOTORCYCLE WAITING IN THE L HAND TURN LANE FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THE ENGINE HAS STALLED IN SEVERAL OTHER TURN SITUATIONS CAUSING ME TO BE RESTARTING AT STAND STILL IN TRAFFIC. I FEEL THIS HAS PROVEN TO BE A SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT JUST A INCONVENIENCE.

PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN 2005. WIFE WAS DRIVING TO STORE WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. SHE TURN AROUND AND DROVE 1.5 MILE BACK TO HOUSE AND PARKED TRUCK. TRUCK HAD PLENTY OIL, BUT WAS LEAKING OIL FROM PASSENGER SIDE VALVE COVER HAD A SMALL HOLE. PULLED COVERS, BOTH HEADS AND FOUND HEAD CAST HAD BROKE OFF ON PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CAUSED HOLE IN VALVE COVER. BOTTOM OF BOTH HEAD CASTING HAD DAMAGE TO VALVE SEAL WHICH SHOULD BE PRESSED INTO PLACE. THREE OF THE SEAL POP OUT ABOUT 1/4 INCH. AND ONE OF THE SEAL ON DRIVER SIDE HEAD CASTING CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE TO HEADERS. I THINK THE CASTING IF FLAWED. BEFORE TAKING THE VALVE COVERS OF, I THOUGHT IF I GET ANOTHER VALVE COVER MIGHT BE OK. SO I SEARCHED FOR A VALVE COVER. I CALLED TWO DODGE DEALER PART DEPARTMENT. WITHNELL DODGE IN SALEM AND MARK THOMAS MOTORS IN ALBANY OREGON. BOTH DEALER PARTS DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THEY HAD OVER 60 BACK ORDERS FOR THIS VALVE COVER. THAT'S OVER 120 BACK ORDER FOR VALVE COVERS. I SUSPECT OTHER TRUCK OWNERS THOUGHT ALL THEY NEEDED WAS TO REPLACE THE VALVE COVER AND THAT SHOULD FIX THEIR PROBLEM. I ALSO SUSPECT THE FLAW IN THE HEADER CAST IS THE PROBLEM AND IS CAUSING A CHAIN REACTION TO OCCUR WHEN PARTS OF THE CASTING BREAK OFF, HIT THE VALVE COVER, WHICH CAN CAUSE THE TRUCK TO OVERHEAT, AND RESULT IN DAMAGE TO CYLINDER HEAD, RINGS, AND HEADER, ALL BECAUSE THE HEAD CASTING WAS MOLDED WITH AN INHERITED FLAW. NOTHING MAKE SENSE AS TO WHY TRUCK HAD PROBLEM WITH HEADER, EXCEPT BAD CAST FOR HEADER. I HOPE YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MATTER. I PUT LESS THAN 15,000 MILES PER YEAR ON THIS TRUCK, AND I SHOULD BE ENJOYING THIS TRUCK FOR TROUBLE FREE. WITH DODGE HISTORY OF FAILURE TO NOTIFY VEHICLE OWNER ABOUT INHERITED PROBLEMS WITH PAST, I DO NOT EXPECT DODGE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED.

THERE HAD NEVER BEEN ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH MY DODGE 1500 ENGINE (2005). ON JULY 21, 2014, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, MY TEMP CAGE STARTED MOVING TOWARD HOT.

HOLE IN RIGHT SIDE VALVE COVER. CALLED WITHNELL DODGE IN SALEM AND MARK THOMAS MOTORS IN ALBANY OREGON. BOTH DEALERSHIPS HAVE OVER 60 BACK ORDERS FOR THIS PARTICULAR VALVE COVER. THAT'S OVER 120 BACK ORDERS. IF I CALLED OTHER DEALERSHIPS I SUSPECT THEY WILL HAVE BACK ORDERS FOR THE SAME PRODUCT. TO ME THIS MEANS THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH DODGE PICKUPS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH VALVE COVERS, WHICH ARE PLASTIC. I SUSPECT THE VALUE COVER BLEW A HOLE AND THIS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. I AM NOT SURE IF I HAVE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS AS A RESULT OF VALVE COVER BLOWING OUT. I WILL NOT KNOW UNTIL I REPLACE THE VALVE COVER. I ALSO THINK A RECALL SHOULD OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THESE NUMBERS. I THINK DODGE KNEW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS THEY ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN REPLACE THIS VALVE COVER. PARTS STORES LIKE NAPA, DO NOT CARRY THIS PART, WHICH MEANS DODGE DEALERSHIP PARTS DEPARTMENT MUST ORDER THIS PARTICULAR PART. AND I WAS TOLD THIS PART IS NOT AVAILABLE IN AMERICA, WHICH MEANS A FOREIGN COUNTRY IS PRODUCING THIS PART, WHICH DODGE HAS TO ORDER AND TRACK. SO WHAT IS NHTSA GOING TO DO.

CONTACT OWNS A 2005 RAM 1500 SLT 4.7L. CONTACT STATES THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY. TRUCK WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD OR MANEUVERING AT LOW SPEEDS. TRUCK HAS HAD ONE RANDOM INCIDENT OF OVER HEATING AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND SHUT TRUCK OFF TO COOL DOWN. RESTARTED JUST FINE! PLASTIC SEAT BELT BUCKLES HAVE BROKEN AND SEAT BELTS DON'T RETRACT FULLY. THEN AROUND APRIL 2014 STARTED HEARING A WHINING GRINDING,HOWLING NOISE THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRES OR THE ROAD. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE SO CALLED A REPAIR SHOP TOOK IT IN. HAD IT LOOKED AT. THE REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED IT TO BE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL PINION NUT BACKING OFF. REPAIR SHOP SAID THE TRUCK NEEDS THE DIFFERENTIAL REPAIRED OR REPLACED. A SHORT TIME LATER, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AROUND FEBRUARY ON THE TRUCK FOR P77 & P81. HAVE CONTACTED DEALER VIA PHONE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. DEALER SAYS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND/OR OTHER'S SAFETY.*(SINCE THE PROBLEM IS, THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT ON YOUR TRUCK MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT WITHOUT AN ADHESIVE PATCH ON THE PINION NUT THREADS. THE LACK OF THIS ADHESIVE PATCH COULD ALLOW THE REAR AXLE PINION NUT TO LOOSEN AND/OR THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT TO SEPARATE FROM THE REAR AXLE. A LOOSE PINION NUT COULD CAUSE THE REAR AXLE TO SEIZE AND A SEPARATED DRIVE SHAFT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER. EITHER SITUATION COULD CAUSE A CRASH WITH OUT WARNING! AND THE AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE WITH METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS).DEALERSHIP SAYS SHOULD BE OKAY TO DRIVE.!! I DON'T SEE HOW DODGE CHRYSLER! CAN KEEP PRODUCTION/SALES OF THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES. WHEN SO MANY VEHICLES ARE BEING RECALLED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION OF THIS MATTER. *TR UPDATED 06/29/15.*JB

SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK IN 2005 ITS HAD A PRETTY SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH STALLING OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP, AND EVEN WORSE, SOMETIMES MID TURN WHILE MOVING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE SINCE LOSS OF CONTROL IS EMINENT IN THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. ALONG WITH THIS STALLING OUT, THE TRUCK HAS A ROUGH IDLE/SURGING IDLE ISSUE WHEN AT A STOP. IVE TRIED ALL TYPES OF REPAIRS, AND SPENT ALOT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH NO AVAIL. I TOOK IT INTO DODGE AFTER I FIRST BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY. STILL SAME ISSUE. NOW IVE REPLACED, OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, THE EGR VALVE, THROTTLE BODY ITSELF, EVAP PURGE VALVE, AND HAVE TRIED A LIST OF OTHER REMEDIES. STILL NOT FIXED. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH OF MANY DIFFERENT DODGE RAM CLUB ONLINE FORUMS THIS IS A VERY VERY VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS, AND ALL OF US OWNERS ARE FED UP. DODGE WONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS SERIOUS ISSUE, AND UNFORTUNATELY PEOPLE MAY DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. PLEASE HELP US! *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH MY DRIVELINE DISLODGED FROM MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL AND LOCKED UP THE WHEELS (DIFFERENTIAL.). THE ROAD WAS A POPULAR WELL MAINTAINED PAVED ROAD. FORTUNATELY NO CARS OR PEDESTRIANS WERE CLOSE BY AND SPEED WAS RELATIVELY LOW, OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE ENDED WITH SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE TRUCK JUST STALLED. NO WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOTHING. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT US OR WE DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. MY HUSBAND AND BROTHER PUSHED THE TRUCK INTO A NEAR BY PARKING LOT. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN. THE TRUCK STARTED BACK UP. THREE DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET PULLING A TRAILER. THE TRUCK STALLED AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT. IT STARTED BACK UP. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE COULDN'T FIND A CODE ON IT. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN QUITE OFTEN. THE MECHANIC FINALLY CHANGED OUT A SENSOR , THAT COST US $385.00. AFTER A WEEK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CODE COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP CHANGING THINGS THAT ARE NOT WORKING. SO NOW IF I LET MY FUEL TANK GET DOWN LESS THAN A HALF TANK THE TRUCK MISSES AND TRIES TO CUT OUT LIKE ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL STALL AND I AM A SMALL WOMEN. I CAN'T FIGHT IT WITH NO POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. *TR

OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 DODGE RAM TRUCK. OCCASIONALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP, THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF. I IMMEDIATELY TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN BACK ON, AND THE TRUCKS WORKS PERFECTLY AFTER THAT. I FIRST ATTRIBUTED IT TO A STALL OR BAD GAS, BUT NOW BELIEVE IT IS AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS, BUT THEY ARE UNWILLING TO INSPECT MY TRUCK WITHOUT FIRST CHARGING AN EXORBITANT SERVICE FEE. I FEEL THIS DIAGNOSTIC FEE IS VERY UNREASONABLE, AS THIS DEFECT WITH THE TRUCK IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE DRIVERS AROUND ME. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER MULTIPLES TIMES, AND AM NOW ESCALATING THIS BY FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

TOOK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE, AFTER 1 1/2 HOURS OF WAITING THE SERVICE MAN CAME OUT AND SHOWED ME THE PLASTIC HANDLE OF THE DIP STICK THAT BROKE OFF. I WAS THEN INFORMED IT WILL BE A WHILE TO FIX, SO I WENT HOME WHEN I PICKED IT UP I WAS BILLED $400.00 TO GET THE DIP STICK OUT, AND REPLACED. I WENT ON LINE AND 2 DIFFERENT AUTO PARTS STORES AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY. BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAD ONE ON HAND. I'M 66 YEARS OLD, AND WENT IN FOR A $20.00 OIL CHANGE, THE DIPSTICK WAS ONLY PULLED OUT 12 TIMES, BUT DUE TO THE PLASTIC HANDLE, IT COST ME $400.00. WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE OLD STYLE STICKS THAT WERE ONE PIECE OF METAL, WITH A LOOP ON THE END FOR YOUR FINGER TO PULL OUT? HOW MANY OF THESE DIP STICKS BREAK PER YEAR?

I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE RAM USED IN 2010 WITH 74,000 MILES. SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT THE TRUCK WOULD DIE WHEN COMING TO A STOP, NO POWER STEERING, NO POWER BRAKES. WELL I TOOK IT TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO TRY AND GET AN EXPLANATION AFTER I REPLACED THE IAC VALVE AND CLEANED EVERY PIECE OF THE INDUCTION SYSTEM INCLUDING ALL SENSORS AND THE THROTTLE BODY. I RESET THE ECU AND STARTED THE TRUCK AND LET IT WARM-UP FOR 10 MINUTES BEFORE MY TEST DRIVE. THIS FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR 2 DAYS THEN THE ROUGH IDLE STARTED AGAIN AND IT DIED AT THE TOP OF THE STREET. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR 3 YEARS NOW AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE I HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM AND I HAVE TRIED TO WORK IT OUT THROUGH PRIVATE MECHANICS. IN MY SEARCH FOR A RESOLUTION I HAVE A DOCUMENTED EXPENSE WELL OVER $1937 AND I STILL HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE STRESS OF KNOWING MY TRUCK COULD DIE CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. AT THIS POINT I AM CONSIDERING SELLING THE TRUCK FOR LACK OF AN AFFORDABLE REMEDY.

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP BEHIND A STOPPED VEHICLE MY 05 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH A V8 STALLED OUT. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL TO START IT BACK UP & CONTINUE GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING THAT I NO LONGER CAN KEEP COUNT. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN MAKING A TURN WHICH CAUSED ALL LOSS OF POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES. SO FAR I HAVE NOT WRECKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT IT SCARES ME OR MY TEENAGE DRIVER TO DEATH. I HAVE REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES OVER SEVERAL YEARS & NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I ALSO KNOW THIS HAPPENS WITH THE 2004 MODEL OF DODGE TRUCKS AS MY NEPHEW OWN ONE THAT I HAVE DROVE & IT HAPPENED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN TRUCKS IS HIS 04 HAS THE HEMI.

THE TRUCK DROVE PERFECTLY FINE NO PROBLEMS AFTER GETTING OFF FROM WORK I PICKED UP YOUNGEST DAUGHTER FROM DANCE PRACTICE LESS THAN A MILE AWAY FROM MY JOB. AN HOUR LATER I PICKED MY ELDEST DAUGHTER FROM HER JOB LESS THAN THREE MILES FROM HOME AGAIN THE TRUCK DROVE FINE. ABOUT ONE HOUR LATER I DROVE 12 MILES TO DO A PLUMBING JOB WHEN OUTTA THE BLUE THE OIL INDICATOR STARTED ACTING ERRATIC IT WOULD GO FROM THE LOWEST POINT IN THE RED TO A SAFE LEVEL, AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF THIS I PULLED TO A GAS STATION AND ADDED TWO QUARTS OF OIL AFTER I ADDED THE OIL I CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL IT WAS AT A SAFE LEVEL. I FINISHED THE JOB CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE LEAVING THE CUSTOMER HOME IT WAS STILL OK. I GOT ON THE TURNPIKE DROVE ABOUT THREE MILES WHEN THE INDICATOR DROPPED TO THE RED LINE AND THE ENGINE JUST DIED.

MY 2005 DODGE RAM HAS BEEN STALLING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN COMING TO STOPS AT INTERSECTIONS. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS. I HAVE HAD ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON AND HAD MECHANICS WORK ON IT. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES AND IS VERY SCARY. I CAN NOT TRUST TO TAKE IT ON LONG TRIPS.AFTER GOGGLING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT MOST DODGES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I WILL USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO LET MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS KNOW THAT DODGE IS NOT THE TRUCK TO BUY. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THEY ARE NOT RECALLING THIS ISSUE IN THEIR TRUCKS SOME THING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

READ ONLINE OF THE SAMETHING HAPPENING TO OTHERS WHILE DRIVING EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS ETC. AND IT WOULD STALL LOSING POWER STEERING AND BRAKES.

ENGINE HAS STALLED INTERMITTENTLY IN THE PAST, USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS (I.E. WHEN PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR STREET OR SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE WHEN PARKING. MULTIPLE TIMES, THERE WAS NO WARNING AND VEHICLE JUST CUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF ROAD, WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. LUCKILY NO ACCIDENT, BUT THIS SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING OF THIS BEFORE BECAUSE IT HAPPENED SO INFREQUENTLY AND VEHICLE ALWAYS RESTARTED. THIS MORNING THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE STANDING IN LINE AT GAS STATION (AFTER FILLING TANK), AND THEN MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER THAT. THIS IS NEW SINCE IN THE PAST, IT WOULD STALL ONCE AND BE FINE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEGRADATION OF SOMETHING, BUT NO ENGINE LIGHTS ARE ON, SO NO CODES TO CHECK. THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSORS WAS REPLACED RECENTLY AFTER AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE SENSOR REPLACEMENT HAS FIXED THAT PROBLEM AND THIS SEEMS UNRELATED TO THE STALLING ISSUE. *TR

I STARTED TO GET A ROUGH IDLE CONDITION ON MY DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR AND AUTO TRANS. NOW INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTH THE TRUCK STALLS WHEN GOING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE...THOUGH NOT THAT DANGEROUS AN INCONVENIENCE. THE DANGEROUS PART IS WHEN I SOMETIMES PULL INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK WILL START FORWARD AS IT SHOULD THEN THE MOTOR WILL JUST DIE CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKE AND STEERING FUNCTIONS. I AM GETTING NO ENGINE CODES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE EVEN HOOKED THE TRUCK UP TO A COMPUTER WITH NO CODES DETECTED. RECENTLY I WENT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC ONTO A ROAD THAT WAS 35MPH AND THE MOTOR AGAIN DIED. LUCKILY THE DRIVER HEADING TOWARD MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND ALLOWED ME TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL RESTART IT AND GET IT OUT OF THE OTHER VEHICLE'S LANE OF TRAVEL. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN CLEANED THE SPARK PLUGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED WITH NO LUCK AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.
