2007 Dodge RAM 2500: engine stalls while driving

Filed Mar 15, 2021 · Electrical, Lights · 140,000 miles · UT

Headlights shut off while driving at random times at night causing complete inability to see on the freeway or back road where there are ditches and things to wreck. Severe safety issue that dealership cannot resolve with usual fixes. Many others have the same complaint about lights going out. This will cause deaths if I'm driving 80 MPH on the freeway and suddenly can't see or people can't see me. I've tried everything to fix it with the dealer. It happens while driving at slow speeds and fast speeds and even parked. I've had the tipm replaced, rebuilt the cluster, removed all after market add on, brand new bulbs, checked for codes, repaired wiring shorts. None has fixed the problem.

We own a 2007 dodge ram 2500 6.7 liter diesel 4 x4 truck, bought with 7311 miles and a full warranty. We bought in january 2008. It has numerous issues that make me literally vomit when I have to drive it. We have had 6 repairs to this vehicle since june 2008 for emission/turbo/wiring/transmission issues. I do not feel safe in this truck and the dealership says they have "fixed" it everytime. A vehicle that loses engine and transmission power on the highway is not a safe means of transportation. They always tell me it is "being taken care of by dodge recall/computer flashes, but this truck has been a nightmare since we bought it. Our first issue began in april 2008 with a constant engine warning light blaring at us all the time. The dealer told us it "just something these trucks do". It could be one of 200 small things, keep driving it, it's ok. Vehicle began stalling and hesitating on me in traffic, I felt it was unsafe and took it to dealership. The first of many 02 sensor recall/replacement/cleanings. It lost power again in august 2008 and I had to be towed in. Another 02/turbo issue. Again in october 2008 lost power, ditto for repairs. Next time it broke down was february 20090. Ditto for turbo/emission. Most recently was july 2009. Engine and transmission stalled out on me pulling onto a busy highway.....twice in one week. Dealer couldn't duplicate issue with computer, finally decided it was probably a wiring issue and replaced a harness. I have told the service dept that this vehicle is not safe, and I have complained to chrysler. They tell me it is repaired and that is all they can do. I need help getting this vehicle off of the road. The dealer and chrysler don't seem to think the safety of my children is very important. I hope somebody in your department does. Does it take a death or serious accident to have these issues evaluated?

My 2007 2500 4x4 diesel 6.7 has been a headache since the beginning . It has stalled several times the check engine light comes on for a short while then goes off . But the other day I was in a tight situation, when I stepped on the accelerator hard , a car pulled in front of me I immoderately stepped on the brake , and northing was there , it wet all the way down to the floor then after a second or two it started jumping as the anti lock brakes started to work,this was a close one I couldn't of slide my wallet between my truck and the car that pulled out in front of me . This truck also has the worse ride on concrete freeway paving . It bounces in a un stable, most irritating way ,on asphalt freeway it is very smooth, until you hit a bump and it shimmy's in a un safe felling like it could loose control, I am happy with the power of the motor when its got a full load going up hill. With that exception this is the worst over priced truck I've ever owned , ill never buy dodge again.
