NHTSA Complaint #10151427 — 2004 DODGE RAM 1500

I BOUGHT MY TRUCK USED APPROXIMATELY DEC 1, 2005 WITH 49,500 KM ON THE ODOMETER. IT IS A 2004 DODGE QUAD CAB 1500 WITH A 5.7L HEMI ENGINE. APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS AGO THE ENGINE STOPPED. I WAS DRIVING ALONG A RESIDENTIAL STREET AT BETWEEN 20 AND 30 KM/HR. MY FOOT WAS BARELY ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. THERE WAS NO WARNING (I.E. NO HESITATION, STUMBLING OR MIS-FIRE). NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED OVER, PUT IT IN PARK AND THE ENGINE STARTED UP RIGHT AWAY WITH NO PROBLEMS AFTERWARD. IT WAS APPROXIMATELY ''10 OR ''12C TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE AND HAD GONE TO ''20C OVERNIGHT. I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS AND MY THROTTLE BODY HAD BEEN SERVICED IN THE PREVIOUS 2 WEEKS. THE ENGINE WAS REASONABLY WARM, BUT I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 MINUTES AT LOW SPEEDS. ODOMETER WAS ABOUT 56,000KM. THE TRUCK WAS INTO CHRYSLER SERVICE ON FEB 24 AND I MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE STOPPED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. I ASKED IF HE HAD HEARD OF ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINING OF THIS PROBLEM. HE SAID HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY COMPLAINTS. TODAY (FEB 28, 2006), THE ENGINE STOPPED AGAIN. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROXIMATELY ''10C AND HAD GONE TO ABOUT ''13 OR ''15C OVERNIGHT. SAME SYMPTOMS. I HAD DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, LIGHT ACCELERATOR, SPEED OF ABOUT 20 TO 30 KM/HR AND WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE STARTED RIGHT UP WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. ODOMETER IS ABOUT 59,000 KM. *NM
