NHTSA Complaint #10131253 — 2004 DODGE RAM 1500

I OWN A 2004 DODGE RAM WITH THE 5.7 HEMI ENGINE. THE ENGINE IN MY TRUCK HAS STALLED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND GOING INTO A TURN. ONCE ON THE FREEWAY AT 65 MPH! THIS HAPPENS MOST WHEN TURNING ON CITY STREETS OR PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. THE DEALER HAS FLASHED THE PCM 3 TIMES AND IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN FOR THIS PROBLEM THE DEALER SCREWED WITH THE TIMING, FUEL AIR MIXTURE AND IDLE ALL IN POOR ATTEMPT TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. THE RESULTS ARE POORER FUEL MILEAGE, OCCASIONAL BLACK SMOKE FROM EXHAUST, STALLS AT IDLE, THE ENGINE STUMBLES AND SOOT BUILD-UP IN THE EXHAUST PIPES. OH, IT STILLS STALLS WHILE TURNING SOMETIMES. THE DEALER AND THE REGIONAL DODGE REP ARE BOTH DRAGGING THEIR FEET. THE TRUCK IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS 20" TIRES AND WHEELS(FACTORY)WHICH MAKE IT EVEN HARDER TO STEER WHEN THE ENGINE DIES AND YOU ALSO LOSE THE POWER BRAKES TOO. REAL WAKER UPPER. *JB
