NHTSA Complaint #10231410 — 2006 DODGE RAM 1500

NO INJURIES OR ACCIDENT, BUT ALMOST HAPPENED. DRIVING AND STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND PROCEEDED ACROSS HIGHWAY IN SAFE MANNER. WHEN I REACHED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION MY TRUCK WOULD NOT GO. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING AND TRIED TO PROCEED AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT GO. AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK AND ALMOST WATCHED MY TRUCK GET HIT BY ANOTHER MOTORIST TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE. STOPPED WITHIN 4 FEET OR LOWER OF HITTING MY TRUCK. AFTER THIS I GOT BACK IN TO MOVE MY TRUCK TO A SAFE LOCATION, I TRIED AGAIN TO SEE IF IT WILL GO AFTER THAT AND IT WOULD ONLY GO ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR. SO I CREEPED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PUT THE TRUCK ON THE COMPUTER AND 10 DIFFERENT CODES CAME UP.. THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING THAT DAY AND SAID MONDAY BRING IT BACK. SOON AS I GOT THERE THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THERE WERE NO CODES CAME UP. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OVER 8 TIMES FOR THE SAME THING AND THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. I FELT MY VEHICLE WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR ME SO I TRADED THAT VEHICLE IN FOR ANOTHER KIND OF VEHICLE. THE REASON I AM TELLING YOU THIS I DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY ELSE AND CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH THAT TYPE OF VEHICLE I OWNED AND EVERYONE THAT I'D TALK TO THAT HAD THAT VEHICLE SAID THEY WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
