2005 dodge ram 1500 5.7liter hemi stalls between speeds of 15-30mph. Stalls while making turns, coming up to stop signs and stop lights. Mileage is at 36,000 miles.
Truck would not go into gear. Dodge had a tsb for a faulty transmission filter that would crack. This is what caused the problem. Truck was just over 3,000 miles over warranty but dodge would not cover the repair. Now truck is stalling when coming to a stop but only when I first start the truck up in the morning. Truck will restart no problem. Once I have driven the truck a few miles the stalling problem goes away. This happens everytime I drive the truck after it has been sitting for a while. Check engine light just came on today and truck is a the mechanic.
2005 dodge ram stalling.
2005 dodge ram 1500 stalls when making turns. This started when the truck had about 12k miles and seems to be getting worse. I have taken to the dealership, and told there was nothing wrong with the vehicle. Of course now it has 43k and is out of warranty so I cannot afford to take for $100 diagnostic everytime truck stalls, just to be told nothing is wrong. This is very dangerous because the steering and brakes are almost non existent when this happens and it usually happens when making a turn. I just hope that it doesn't happen in heavy traffic. I have read online that this is not just my truck and others have the same problem. Why does dodge not step up and correct the problem? Does it take a death before they do?
(1) vehicle stalls without warning while driving it, vibration while applying brakes,humming noise coming from trans and vehicle vibration at 50 to 65 miles an hour (2) these problems nearly caused an accident on 4 deferent occasions,complained to the dealership many times how unsafe this vehicle is and they won't fix the problems. (3) I finally had to pay them to replace the rotors and brake pad front and rear,how the stalling, the vibration ,humming from the trans at 50 to 65 still occurs to date and was refused at two other dealerships and turned away.
My truck is a 2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. It stalls when slowing down to turn corners.
Engine stalls or rough idles whiles coming to brief stops, ie stop signs or red lights. It is usually but not always when I have run the car for the first time of the day within about 5 miles or less, and seems to occur more when outside temps are low. *nm updated 04/19/07.
