NHTSA Complaint #10252058 — 2005 DODGE RAM 1500

ENGINE STALLING: INITIALLY IT STARTED OFF AS A SHUTTER WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED. THIS WAS REPORTED BUT CONSEQUENTLY NO ACTION WAS TAKEN BECAUSE THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FEEL IT FOR HIMSELF. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS LATER, THE MECHANIC FINALLY FELT IT AND ORDERED A PART(THROTTLE BODY). THAT WAS DONE BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINED. A LITTLE AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED, THE ENGINE STARTED TO STALL WHEN WE WOULD TURN. REPORTED THAT TO THE DEALER BUT AGAIN, NOTHING WAS DONE BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. NOW, THEY ORDERED A POWER STEERING PUMP THAT WAS FINALLY REPLACED AFTER GOING IN SEVERAL TIMES AND IT COMING IN DEFECTIVE (TIME ENDED UP BEING SEVERAL MONTHS). THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED BUT THE ENGINE IS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING (TAKES ABOUT 5-6 ATTEMPTS) AND IS STALLING NOW MORE THAN EVER. IT STALLS AFTER WE TURN WHILE DRIVING AT A SPEED NO MORE THAN 20MPH. NOW OUR WARRANTY IS OVER AS A CONSEQUENCE AND DODGE IS NOT WANTING TO FIX THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH WE REPORTED THIS PRIOR TO OUR WARRANTY EXPIRING. *TR
