Engine stalls while driving by model year
What owners say
driving down Interstate 75 going 70 mph my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 stalled. I had to pull over and i sat on the side of the road for 30 minutes before my truck would start back up. I made it back to Ocala and it stalled again. I waited 30 minutes and it started back up. The next day i dropped my truck off at Phillips Dodge Ocala FL. Phillips diagnosed that my TPIM needs to be replaced. I started doing research on the TPIM and noticed 2007-2015 the Dodge Rams 1500, 2500, 3500, 4500, 5500 all had a recall. How is it my 2016 Dodge Ram 2500 is having the same exact issues as the previous models? Why is my 2016 not covered under this recall?
