Consumer Description

MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 5.7 LITER HEMI STALLS INCONSISTENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT STOP LIGHTS. THE TRUCK HAS ALWAYS STARTED RIGHT BACK UP UNTIL YESTERDAY. I WAS IN TRAFFIC, GOING ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN IT SHUT DOWN. I TRIED REPEATEDLY TO START THE TRUCK BACK UP; IT FINALLY DID AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. I LEARNED THAT ISSUE IS SYNONYMOUS WITH 2004 RAMS. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND EGR VALVE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE. WE PULL A HORSE TRAILER ON REGULAR BASES AND CAN NOT TAKE THE CHANCE OF SOMEONE HITTING US DUE TO STALLING, LET ALONE LOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT AN OUTRAGE THAT DODGE DOESN'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS!! I LOVE MY TRUCK, BUT NOW I AM SHOPPING FOR A NEW TRUCK, NOT DODGE, WITH A HEAVY HEART. *TR
