This incident has now happened more than once and I am quite concerned. As I drive my 2005 dodge ram 1500 v8 hemi, it stalls on me without warning. Prior to this the svc engine light would come on. I took it in to autozone w/a registered egr sensor, valve, etc. I replaced the valve, cleaned out the throttle. The light went away after this fix. But as I stated, as I drive the vehicle it continues to shut off w/no notice at all. I thought to prompt an investigation as all of my online findings would indicate the exact same problem.

Engine quit at low speed. Applied brakes,went to neutral and was able to start car.I use tis truck to pull a fifth wheel,since this happened don't trust if this happened with the trailer there will be three dead bodies. Will get rid of this truck don't trust it. Dealer siad there is nothing they can do about sincs it it intermitten.
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 with a 4.7 liter v-8. The problem like many others have had is that the truck will rev up and down at idle and slow speed. After the truck stalled, almost getting me in a sever crash at an intersection while towing my boat, I took it to the dealer. They said the egr valve was bad and replaced it. This worked for about a year now the problem is back.
I have a 05 dodge ram 1500 with hemi eng. About 6 months ago it starting stalling from time to time. Usely when I slow down to stop the eng shut off. It will restart but not normal, I have to push the gas pedal down, its starts up and is ok for days. If I am above 60 MPH when it malfuction it will start surging and I shift to nutural and riv the eng up and put it back in drive and its ok again . I am below 60 MPH when malfuction occures the eng quits. The tem is always below 50 degrees. Took to dodge dealer they charge me 66 dallors to tell me they could not determ the problem . And they would not let me talk to their machanics . If I could talk to them we might could figure out the problem, I suspect it has something to do with the electronic throttle control.
My dodge ram 1500 with a hemi engine has stalled numerous times while slowing down to make a turn at an intersection. When the engine drops down to about 1200 RPM, it just quits without warning, killing the power brakes and power steering mechanism in manual. This truck is over 6000 pounds, adrift, half way through an intersection. Twice I have nearly run over a small vehicle stopped at the intersection. Yesterday I went off the road. Someone will be hurt in one of these instances. I have read numerous posts on this engine problem. Dodge needs to recall this truck and fix this problem.
My dodge ram 1500 truck with a 4.7 engine has stalled a couple of time right after I start for the first time in a day and drive to a stop sometime very soon after I start it. The engine has a dip in rpms, and then tries to lurch forward when I'm on the brake, and then stalls. I start it back up and it's fine. It's happened about 5-10 times since I bought it back in april 05. The dealer had no clue what was wrong, they tried keeping it for a week and weren't able to reproduce the problem.
The catalytic converter was replaced in 2007 under warranty. Dodge states it is bad again. Truck now has 64000 miles on it. Also the drivers side front bearing and spindle had to be replaced in 2009 because of a the same problem in the 2006 model due to insufficient lubrication at factory.
2005 dodge ram 1500 pick up truck. Rough engine noise and stall. Engine under 70,000 miles and engine replacement necessary. Talked to several mechanics, including dodge, and the hemi 7 engine has leakage issues. It ruins the engine. Dodge refuses to cover the damage. It has cost me over $6,000 including towing.
2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 4.7ll engine stalls randomly dealership refuses to acknowledge a problem because they cant replicate the issue. The engine also has poor oil circulation and an extreme sludging issue to my understanding this causes the truck to shut off as well and should be investigated.
Vehicle stalls suddenly while traveling, with no warning, the engine light doesn't come on or anything. You have to stop and put it in park to restart (tried to restart in neutral-doesn't work). When it shuts off, there is no power steering or brakes, but luckily it usually starts up fairly quickly because it is very scary when you are on the highway. Have taken it to the dodge dealership twice and they said "they have no idea what it is".
Truck stalls or completely shuts off while driving.the dash and window area rattles. Dealer said that there is nothing wrong with truck. The truck had only a week and it was shutting off by itself. The situation of the truck made my wife scared to drive. The dealer lithia played it off like it's nothing maybe its the fuel blahh,blahh.
2005 dodge ram 1500 pickup. Stalls when stopping and turning. Engine revs. Truck will stall in traffic without notice. This has happened on at least 10 seperate dates.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. While attempting to park the vehicle at 10 MPH, it stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle shortly after the failure. He is in the process of having the vehicle inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 63,000.
Continuing issue with egr valve, after about 5 minutes of research I can see this is a wide spread issue. Also, after discussing with several mechanics this is a not a valve that should go out in the first four years. Truck idles rough and stalls at slow speeds, valve is evidently faulty or other piece of system, whether that's solenoid, fuse, electrical connection, sensor is faulty. Cannot believe after reviewing that there is not a recall on this valve. Also, very difficult to find particular part in-stock at any parts stores.
On going problem with dodge ram 1500 trucks. They contain a faulty exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve. The sensor causes trucks to stall out when driving at slower speeds under 40 MPH. With loss of power loose power steering and power brakes. I would also imagine affects exhaust emissions as gas mileage severely drops when egr valve is going out. Trucks engine malfunction indicator light usually comes on. If you go to dealership will charge you $175 to tell you why indicator light came on. If you turn the key on-accessory, on-accessory, on-accessory and finally on rapidly, will show you error code on odometer for free. Usually will get a p0404, p0405 or p0406 code which is the egr valve out or on its way out. If you search the internet you will see hundreds of postings with ones regarding vehicles stalling out. Something needs to be done before some unlucky person is involved in a collision due to loss of power.
When making a turn at slower speed <35mph, the engine may stall. Extremely dangerous when turning left in front of normal oncoming traffic and engine stalls, power steering goes out and you are left powerless in front of oncoming traffic.
In my truck as well as many other owners of this same truck have faulty oil cooler lines installed on them from dodge. The specific truck is the 2004-2006 dodge ram srt-10. One member of the auto forum even had his truck and house completely lost due to fire, and his incident was not isolated.
My 2005 dodge ram 1500 has a stalling problem. It seems to happen at low speeds, while turning, and while having the brake applied. I have taken it to the dealer too many times to note. They have made one repair attempt. I was told that there was going to be an update on the software, but never received a call back. Every time I take it in the dealer tells me there are no codes on the computer - and therefore they cannot diagnose the problem. And am told that they cannot duplicate the problem (might be because they drive it for 1 mile). I guess when the truck stalls and fatally kills a bunch of people is when they will make an effort to address and repair this problem!!!! It is very scary to have your vehicle stall leaving you with no power steering and no power brakes and virtually no control over your truck!!!
Engine stalling: initially it started off as a shutter when the vehicle turned. This was reported but consequently no action was taken because the mechanic could not feel it for himself. Several complaints later, the mechanic finally felt it and ordered a part(throttle body). That was done but the problem still remained. A little after the part was replaced, the engine started to stall when we would turn. Reported that to the dealer but again, nothing was done because the mechanic said the vehicle was fine. Now, they ordered a power steering pump that was finally replaced after going in several times and it coming in defective (time ended up being several months). The power steering pump has now been replaced but the engine is having trouble starting (takes about 5-6 attempts) and is stalling now more than ever. It stalls after we turn while driving at a speed no more than 20mph. Now our warranty is over as a consequence and dodge is not wanting to fix the problem even though we reported this prior to our warranty expiring.
My trucks engine stalls out on a weekly basis. This occurred yesterday and nearly caused me to crash. I've taken it to the dealer twice and both times they were not able to figure out why this is happening.
The truck just stalls out occasionally when you're going around a corner in city traffic (around 15mph). The truck loses power steering and brakes. Its really hard to steer a vehicle that big without when it stalls out and my wife was lucky to not get hit from behind or crash into another vehicle. The dealer has replaced the egr valve twice and replaced the ECM, once in 2007 and then this year. Hopefully, this will fix the issue permanently, but I have my doubts.
I am having a few problems with my truck for the past year. 1) my truck will stall out or have a dip in the RPM's when stopping at a stop sign or stop light. 2) the big problem I have happens once every 1-2 months. I will be driving my truck and all of a sudden the check engine light will flash and the truck has no power at all. The gas pedal will be on the floor and the truck will have no response. The thing that I am worried about is if this problem happens on the freeway and I get into a big car accident. I brought the truck into 2 different dodge dealerships and they both said the same thing. "whatever is happening isn't being copied to the computer and while our mechanics took it out for a test drive the problem didn't happen." they said the only way they would be able to diagnose the problem is if it happened while they drove it. So they couldn't do anything fix the problem.
I own a 2005 dodge ram 1500 slt 4x4 5.7l v-8 hemi. This truck and stalling out have become synonymous. Within the first six months of owning the truck I notice that whenever I would cold start the truck and put it into gear the rpms would drop and the truck would stall. Similarly it would stall out whenever I was coming out of reverse and into drive (after backing up). I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a faulty crimp in the spin up transmission filter. They replaced the filter and everything was fine for about a year. The truck started dying on me again only this time the check engine light would come on and off at random intervals (not seemingly related to the truck dying). I took it in and this time they diagnosed a faulty egr valve. Apparently is was sticking open and causing the truck to run lean and stall out. They replaced it and what do you know...about a year later (yesterday) I was coming home from work and the truck started shuddering and dying and had no power under acceleration...the check engine light came on and now here it sits in the shop...again for the same problem. Three times this truck has actually put my safety in jeopardy by dying in the middle of the road (the second time was in the middle of the highway during rush hour and I nearly avoided a collision). I've done some research and apparently this is a common problem. I have found hundreds of complaints online for this very same problem and have even found people who claim to have gotten into accidents because of this vehicle stalling. Dodge cannot determine the cause of this problem and because they cant/wont investigate hard enough they will not issue a recall. How many people have to get into accidents or die because of this problem before it gets elevated to higher attention levels?
Bolt on exhaust manifold broke causing exhaust leak. Bolt had to be drilled out and replaced along with the exhaust manifold. Repair shop said this is common on dodge vehicles. Bolt receives too much vibration and heat.
Check engine light has come on. Code shows problem to be catalytic converter.
2005 dodge ram 1500 (4.7). My vehicle will stop running and an indicator light on the dash comes on. After evaluating the problem at a local parts store it was determined the egr valve is bad. The vehicle has 43,500 miles on irt.
2005 dodge ram frequently stalls at slower speeds and RPM's. The engine shuts off without warning often after letting off the gas pedal at lower rpms. It has happened at speeds of 20 MPH and lower, while taking turns, approaching stop signs and at the crest of hills when I let off the gas. Very dangerous and resulted in running off the road into a ditch in one case. The dealer was not helpful on both occasions when they kept the truck for repair purposes. In both cases they said they could not do anything since the computer did not register a specific failure. I told them that it was related to the low RPM's and that it was not a "sensor" issue. They refused to investigate further as they felt this would be chasing the problem "blind".
I started noticing my truck wanting to lose power when getting to a low cruising speed; approximately 25 - 30mph's. The truck would start to rev up and down, bouncing the RPM's from 900 to about 1600 as if you were tapping the gas pedal. Then the next occasion while it was happening, I came to a stop light and the truck completely died/shut off. Now its been happening for about a week or so and now when I go to take off from a dead stop, I have to really get on the pedal to make it take off. I took the truck in to see what was wrong with it when the check engine light came on, they reported a 406 error reading: the egr value was not functioning correctly. I went to my local dodge dealership and they told me that they have been having this problem alot with the vehicles coming back...come to find out, that is not covered under any type of warranty.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quadcab lwb. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalls and the service engine light illuminates. The failure occurs intermittently and sparks come out of the exhaust. The contact has taken the vehicle to the dealer thirteen previous times, but they could not duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was 9,178 and current mileage was 44,520.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quadcab lwb. While driving 65 MPH in below zero temperatures, the pvc return system causes the vehicle to squirt oil into the engine. As a result, the defrost system becomes clogged and fails. The windows were unable to defrost and left oil residue on the windshield. The failure has caused severe eye burnings, stomach pains, and choking of the occupants. The manufacturer stated that there was no mechanical failure and no parts available. They were unable to determine and correct the failure. When the parts arrive, the repair will cost $400. The manufacturer also advised the contact to drive in temperatures above zero degrees. The failure and current mileages were 70,050.
