Consumer Description

I HAVE A COMPLAINT JUST AS THE GENTLEMAN BELOW ME. I HAVE CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO HAVING ACCIDENTS SO MANY TIMES THAT IT WORRIES ME TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK ANY WHERE ANY MORE. 5-8 TIMES PER WEEK THE ENGINE STALLS. USUALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP OR TURNING. SOMETIMES WHILE ACCELERATING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH THE CODES PO404 & PO406 SET (EGR VALVE) SERVICEMAN AT DEALERSHIP SAID IF NOT REPLACED, IT CAN CAUSE OTHER DAMAGES TO THE ENGINE. ***2005 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 4.7L V8. 3-4 TIMES / WEEK THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH, USUALLY WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AND SOMETIMES WHILE ACCELERATING SLOWLY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH ENGINE CODES P0404 & P0406 SET (EGR VALVE) TALKED TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT DODGE ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO CORRECT IT UNLESS I PAY TO HAVE THEM FIX IT.
