Re-call (p77) rear axle /pinion prior to my vehicle being served for this re-call it ran well but soon after the re-call was repaired I noticed there was a hesitation on acceleration especially noticeable on the interstate. My dodge ram 1500 has a hemi and there were no problems entering the interstate without any delay to reach the marked speed and merge with the traffic. After the repair on the re-call my truck would not go into a smooth transition into the gear; it would have a noticeable jerk in order to get to the speed needed to flow into the traffic. And I now my power steering has gone out; there is fluid in the container and no leaking I the driveway. I took the vehicle in the re-exam there work on the re-call they performed and the dealership started to charge me $99. To exam my complaints. I thought that re-call were not suppose to be an expense to the consumer. The dealership definitely treated me different from a regular "paying" customer. Very disappointed with this re-call.

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 complaint is a continuance of a previous complaint number 10175625 filed 12/08/2006. I have an ongoing problem with my 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7l hemi. The vehicle will at times stall when driving down the road. It seems to happen more often when the vehicle is cold and it is cold out side (near freezing). Since I filed my first complaint, I have had additional stalling occurrences with the vehicle. It was picked up from the service department on december 15, 2006. It was driven about 60 miles without incident. On the 16th, I went to the store. As I exited my neighborhood, the vehicle reached about 30 MPH and hesitated where it would not accelerate any further for about three seconds and then stalled. I restarted it and continued down the road. When I left the store to come home about five minutes later, the same thing happened but only with a one second hesitation and stalled. I called the service department right away and dropped it off to them the following monday morning. I have been working with the dealership where I originally purchased the vehicle. Their customer service has been excellent. The service department has not yet been able to duplicate the problem. They have replaced both transmission filters and a crank sensor. This has not fixed the problem. The dealership currently has possession of my vehicle for the third time in two weeks. I have expressed to both the dealership and chrysler, both verbally and in writing, my sincere concern for the safety of myself and my family. I do not feel that this vehicle is safe to drive until it is fixed. I have asked that if it is not able to be properly diagnosed and fixed, to release me form my lease obligations with chrysler financial.
