AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL ON SERVAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THE TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SERVICE LIGHTS. THIS CAUSES THE POWER STEERING AND EVERYTHING TO STOP. WHEN AT A STOP SIGN IT CAN BE STARTED SAFELY FROM PARK OR NEUTRAL BUT WHEN MOVING IT HAS TO BE PUT IN NEUTRAL TO RE START BECAUSE THE BRAKE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK GOOD EITHER. IT HAS HAPPENED AT STOP SIGN AND STOP LIGHT AS WELL AS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH

THE TRUCK STALLS AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME; STALLED IN A TURN CAUSING THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING; STALLED AT STOPS; CAUSES BUCKING. AT NO OTHER TIME DOES THE TRUCK HAVE THESE ISSUES. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND OTHERS SUCH AS JEEP, ETC. REGARDING THE "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" QUESTION BELOW, IT HAPPENS AT 95+% OF FILL-UPS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS 6/1/19.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF AFTER EVERY FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION IF VEHICLE IS PLACED IN A MODERATELY HARD STOP OR MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ON A FREEWAY ON RAMP OR CITY STREET CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND LEAVING VEHICLE IN MOTION WITHOUT POWER TO STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE TIME THAN I CAN REMEMBER.

THE ENGINE STALLS AND CUTS OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I'VE HAD IT AT 4 DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOPS INCLUDING 3 WEEKS AT LANDMARK DODGE AND NO ONE CAN DETERMINE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH IT. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AND CYLINDERS REPLACED. IT'S CRAZY ANDD VERY FRUSTRATING THAT DODGE CAN'T FIX THEIR OWN PRODUCT.

I HAVE REPORTED THIS SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE. THE ENGINE JUST QUITS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH A LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER REFUELING AND A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL IS NOTICED. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN 2 OR 3 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING AND WHILE APPROACHING INTERSTATE 35 IN WACO, TX, ON 11/30/2018. AN INQUIRY WAS MADE TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT NO COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THEM. IN REVIEWING OTHER CONSUMER WEBSITES THAT IS NOT TRUE, THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS DEFINITELY A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE. IT IS TIME FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK, IT WOULD TRY AND GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. WE CHANGED THE ACTUATOR AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THEN PROBLEMS BECAME WORSE. AGAIN IT WOULD GO INTO 4W DRIVE LOW WHILE DRIVING. BUT ALSO WHEN WE STOPPED AT INTERSECTIONS IT WOULD MOVE AT ALL. WE WOULD SHUT THE TRUCK OFF THEN IT WOULD GO. WE WOULD HEAR A WHINING SOUND AFTER THE TRUCK WAS SHUT OFF ABOUT 30 MINUTES COMING UNDER THE TRUCK. THE END OF JULY WE HAD TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMP. THEN WE HAD TO CHANGE THE RADIATOR AND THERMOSTAT. WE HAD IT AT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS BEFORE FINDING THE PROBLEM OF IT GOING INTO 4W DRIVE LOW. IT WAS THE TIMP AND THE TRANSFER CASE. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR 3 TIMES.

IN SEPTEMBER 2015 MY TRUCK ENGINE SHUT OFF ON I-20 W AFTER A HARD BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEED WHILE APPROACHING A TRAILER WITH A WIDE LOAD ON A BRIDGE OVERPASS. I WAS THE LEAD VEHICLE AND HAD THE LEFT LANE MOMENTARILY BLOCKED UNTIL I COULD RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK, IT TOOK TWO ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THEN, IN DECEMBER 2015 THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED IN THE CITY AFTER A MODERATE STOP AT A RED LIGHT, AGAIN HOLDING UP TRAFFIC UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS RESTARTED. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT ONE TENTH MILE THE ENGINE QUIT AGAIN AS I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. THE FIRST INSTANCE WAS A HARD BREAK SITUATION TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT BUT THE SECOND TWO SHUTDOWNS HAPPENED WITH LIGHT BREAKING WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT. WHEN THE ENGINE HAD TO BE RESTARTED, IT REQUIRED A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT WOULD ENGAGE AND THEN RAN ROUGH FOR A SHORT TIME BEFORE SMOOTHING OUT. EACH INSTANCE WAS WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THE FIRST TIME AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 70MPH AND THE LAST TWO AT 30 OR 40 CITY MPH. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THIS SINCE THE LAST TIME BUT I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY CAREFUL TO LIGHTLY APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN POSSIBLE. I READ ON THE INTERNET THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SO THAT PROMPTED ME TO FILE THIS REPORT. I FEEL THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH A ENGINE ELECTRONIC CONTROL OF SOME SORT OR OTHER. THE ENGINE IS THE VERIABLE 5.7L HEMI. MY WIFE HAS BEEN SO UPSET WITH THIS HAPPENING, SHE REFUSES TO RIDE IN MY TRUCK ANYMORE. I HAVE NOT REPORTED THIS PROBLEM, MOSTLY BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW TRUCK. BUT, I DON'T WANT TO TRADE UNTIL I FIND OUT IF THIS PROBLEM IS SUBJECT TO A RECALL. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER I HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED FOR THE AIR BAG RECALL.

VERY THANKFUL I WAS ON A COUNTRY LANE AND NOT ON A FREEWAY BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WARNING AND I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT ICON WAS FLASHING AS I TRIED TO RE-START IT. IT WOULD CRANK BUT NOT START. AFTER WAITING FOR 15 MINUTES IT DID START UP AGAIN. THE ENGINE ICON LIGHT WAS SHOWING AND IT SAID THAT AN OIL CHANGE WAS NEEDED. THE OIL CHANGE WASN'T DUE YET FOR ANOTHER 1000 MILES, OR, TWO WEEKS ON MY THREE MONTH SCHEDULE. I GET THE OIL CHANGED EVERY THREE MONTHS. IT TRIED TO STALL FROM THEN ON AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOP, ON MY WAY TO TO THE DEALER. THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED A CODE FOR THE EGR VALVE, WHICH WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS FIXED FOUR DAYS AGO AND SO FAR SO GOOD, BUT AM VERY ANXIOUS WHEN I DRIVE NOW, WORRYING THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN, ESPECIALLY AFTER SEEING SO MANY POSTS ONLINE WITH OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR DODGE RAM TRUCKS.THIS TRUCK HAS 35,300 MILES ON IT. THIS TRUCK WAS SERVICED SIX WEEKS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT WITH: A 16 CYLINDER HEMI TUNE-UP; A THROTTLE BODY SERVICE, FUEL INDUCTION FLUSH AND FUEL SYSTEM TREATMENT; TRANSMISSION SERVICE WITH FILTER CHANGE; MACHINED FRONT AND REAR ROTORS; AND TIRE ROTATION. *TR
