What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 dodge ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled. After restarting the engine, the vehicle would operate as normal. The contact also indicated that the headlights would intermittently dim and the rear passenger side tail light failed causing the bulb to be replaced. In addition, the contact indicated that when applying the brakes, the vehicle would sometimes jerk forward and a section of the dashboard would detach and fall to the floor. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 168,859.
Vehicle stalls intermittently, 2 to 5 times a week, loses power steering, power brakes, RPM, other dashboard indicators, the odometer readout displays "nobus". This is dangerous because if there is no shoulder, you are stopped on the road. To restart the vehicle, the driver side wiring harness on the computer (which is on the passenger side engine wall) is pulled and replaced without turning off the key, a noise occurs like an electrical connection .is being made, then the vehicle can usually be restarted. Sometimes then there is a check engine light on, or not! The dealers and my local mechanic do not know what the problem is but the potential must be known since it sends the "nobus" message.
