What owners say
Dt: vehicle stalled on highway due to bad fuel pump. 2004 dodge picked up and stalled on highway more than once. Dealership could not replace the original fuel pump because daimler/chrysler said the original fuel pump was defective, and they would like to do it in the fuel tank and rewire it. Feels this is a safety hazard.
Noticed a vibration when reaching speeds over 72 miles per hour. Contacted local dealer regarding problem. The first time the truck was in for service the local dealer decided to put in a new drive line and aligned it. After this service the vibration still existed. Soon after the truck stalled in the middle of a very busy highway due to a malfunctioning fuel injector pump. I believe this was caused by the ever present vibration. Second time local dealer saw the truck they replaced the fuel injector pump and tried to re-align to fix the vibration. This still didn't solve the vibration. A review of the complaints on this site it appears that this is a nation wide problem and defect in this truck. Ak
The brakes locked at 35 MPH, causing the vehicle to go through an intersection into a ditch. *ak there were several problems with the engine in which the mechanics have not been able to determine. The consumer hit a fence and the air bags did not deploy. The consumer stated the engine would just stall.
Vehicle stalled inadvertently. Vehicle could be driven at any speed and this defect could occur.
