NHTSA Complaint #10368579 — 2005 DODGE RAM 1500

I LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY DODGE 1500 STALLING AFTER ACCELERATING OR WHILE TURNING. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK 2 1/2 YEARS AGO WITH 34000 MILES ON IT AND IT STARTED DOING IT RIGHT AWAY...PROBABLY WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER GOT RID OF IT :) YESTERDAY, IT LEFT ME ALONGSIDE THE ROAD IN A TERRIBLE RAIN STORM ON MY WAY TO PICK MY SON UP FROM SCHOOL. I HAVE TAKEN THIS 2005 DODGE 1500 OUT ON THE AIR FORCE BASE FOR HUNTING AND WHEN WE CAME BACK TO THE CHECK STATION (VERY ROUGH ROADS-WASHBOARDS, POTHOLES, DEEPSAND, ETC) MY ENGINE WAS REVVING UP AND DOWN. WHEN I GOT ONTO THE INTERSTATE TO COME HOME THE CRUISE WOULD NOT ENGAGE, I OPENED THE HOOD AND PRESSED ON ALL THE INJECTOR AND PLUG WIRES AND THE TRUCK RAN SMOOTH AND THE CRUISE STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THINGS WERE FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS BUT THEN IT STARTED STALLING/CUTTING OUT AGAIN. I PRESSED ON THE WIRES AND THINGS WERE FINE AGAIN. NOW YESTERDAY, IT STALLED COMING INTO A TURN. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED BACK UP. I WENT THROUGH TWO STOP SIGNS WITH NO PROBLEMS BUT WHEN I GOT UP TO SPEED AND WENT ABOUT 1 MILES, THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT CAME ON. I LOOKED AND IT SAYS I WAS RUNNING HOT. SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED ON THE HEATER?THE HEATER BLEW COLD BECAUSE I HAVEN?T GONE FAR ENOUGH FOR IT TO HEAT UP YET SO I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 5 MINS AND TURN THE KEY UNTIL THE GAUGES CAME ON BUT DID NOT START THE ENGINE. IT SAID MY ENGINE WAS JUST OFF THE COLD MARK AND THE CHECK GAUGES LIGHT WAS GONE. I DROVE THE TRUCK HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE STALLING PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS SINCE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TAKING A SHARP CORNER ON MY STREET. DODGE, PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT COULD BE AS SIMPLE AS A CONNECTOR WIGGLING LOOSE. *TR
