I purchased the truck new but over the last several years the truck would go into limp mode or just stall while driving which makes it hard to control because you loose the power steering and brakes. Finally the computer went out, shop ordered a new one and the wipers were going on and off by them selves(has happened before), throwing codes..... The mechanic finally found that the connectors that plug into the computer are bad and loosing connection. This would possible explain the wipers coming on by them selves sometimes when you hit a bump, also the truck stalling. I jumped off the interstate a few months ago and the exit was a turn, when I let off of the accelerator the truck stalled and it was tough to keep it on the road.

This vehicle was recalled on recall n62 in january, 2014. In may 2014 I was advised by dodge that parts were being restricted and that the dealer would receive one (1) part per week. This meant that I would have to wait over one (1) year to have the vehicle fixed. It appears that dodge is stalling on repairs. Can anything be done other than appeal to the media?

My vehicle will stall when I apply the brakes to the vehicle. This in turn causes the vehicle to shut down all power steering and braking. My truck is a fairly large vehicle, and when you start to brake in advance and the vehicle stalls, especially when icy outside its very hard to stop the vehicle. I have reported this to my dealership and brought my vehicle in endless times, it has sat there for several days while their technicians sit around and try to figure what the problem is... Everytime their answer is, were not sure because this is the first anyone has ever heard of it. We fixed "whatever" but we don't know what it really it. Everytime I then take the vehicle, it stalls, I've almost killed a pedestrian and rear ended a truck... What will it take, someone to get killed before dodge takes this as a serious safety problem?

2005 dodge diesel truck under warranty. One day the truck stalled out. Took it to anniston lincoln dodge of anniston al. They had it for 16 days. They called and said the lift pump was the problem and was replaced under warranty. Next they called and said replacing the lift pump did not resolve the problem. Next they said they were stumped and had referred it to chrysler. Chrysler told them it was contaminated fuel and recommended replacement of the entire fuel system. The dealer gave me a parts list totaling $11,000. Before I committed to a large project like that, I requested that a fuel sample be taken and analyzed. The dealer said they did not do that and did not know where it could be done. The truck still had a fuel priming problem that was not addressed. They said if the fuel system was going to be replaced anyway; the priming problem would be repaired. They charged me $1700.00 for their efforts. I decided to take the truck to bill stafford pontiac-cadillac-gmc of talladega al. This was the dealership where I had purchased the truck. They had the truck for 17 days. An $11,000 repair warranted a second opinion to at least confirm the path forward on the repair. I also requested a fuel sample be taken, but they also said that they did not do that and did not know where fuel could be analyzed. Bill stafford had the truck for 17 days. During this time, they eliminated fuel contamination as the problem. Their diagnosis was that there was a fuel priming problem. They then informed me they did not have the tools for repair or further diagnosis I was welcome to come and tow my truck someplace else. They did not charge me anything for their efforts. Next I took it to miller-sutherlin automall of pell city, al. The truck was at this dealer for 10 days and they called me to come and get my truck because I was wasting their time. It already had a star case #9258138 (a result from the first repair attempt) for contaminated fuel.

Dt: 2005 dodge ram 2500 diesel - the check engine light will come on. The truck will sputter and then it will finally stall out. This will happen at any time no matter what the driving conditions. The truck is in the shop now; it has been there for almost two weeks. This is the third time the truck has been in the shop for the same problem. The last time the engine stalled out, was after leaving the gas station, the truck started to sputter and then it stalled out. There were no accidents or crashes due to this problem, but it was only a matter of time before there was an accident. The dealership stated it was a computer problem. They did some adjustments, but it did not fix the problem, a new computer was ordered and installed and now the truck is not running at all. The dealership can not tell the consumer how long it will take to repair the truck.

I own a 2005 dodge ram slt sport with a 5.7l hemi. I have owned it approximately 4 months and in those 4 months it has had complete engine failure, electrical system still works, but the vehicles stalls without warning. Both times have been at red lights and in parking lots. I have made an appointment to get the truck looked at and I plan on asking for a buyback on it since I have lost trust in the truck.

Stalling. Upon reading the ap article about dodge ram 1500 stalling I was compelled to write to add the same incidence occurring in the hemis. (we have a 2005 2500 series hemi). If you search under "dodge hemi stalling" you will find numerous complaints documenting incidents covering several years and dodge's flash solution. Our brand new truck sat in their shop for 6 weeks awaiting the release of the latest flash to solve this problem. We have had no reoccurrance of stalling problems since the flash, but have heard of several dodge hemi owners who have experienced the same problem.

I have an 05 ram 2500 quad cab hemi truck with 3,200 miles on it. Since new the truck has had an erratic idle and would occasionally die when shifting from reverse to drive. The PCM has been flashed, the throttle body is projected to be replaced next. This problem is getting progressively worse as the truck recently stalled in traffic three times in a ten minute period. I will also be filling a similar complaint for my 05 hemi durango limited.
