Consumer Description

MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 WITH 5.7 HEMI MOTOR STALLS WHEN APPROAHING A STOP. DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT FAIRLY REGULAR. IT ALWAYS COMES AS A SUPRISE, RPMS DROP TO @ 400, ENGINE VIBRATES AND STOPS. IT ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT UP. IT DOES IT WHEN HOT OR COLD, BUT MORE WHEN COLD. MANY TIMES THE RPMS JUST DROP, ENGINE VIBRATES A LITTLE AND STAYS RUNNING. DEALER HAD TRUCK 3 TIMES, FIRST TWO THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM, EVEN THAT I VIDEO TAPED THE CONDITIONS WHILE DRIVING, 3RD TIME THEY ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. TODAY, IT IS IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR THE SAME THING. I EXPLAINED IT MIGHT HAVE TO DO WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT DOWN SHIFTING RIGHT ON STOPPING, AS SHORTLY AFTER I HAD A TRANSMISSION SENDING UNIT REPLACED, RIGHT AFTER PURCHASE, IT STARTED ACTING THIS WAY
