NHTSA Complaint #10399564 — 2005 DODGE RAM 1500

WHEN THE TRUCK IS AT A LOWER IDLE SPEED LIKE 5 OR 10 MPH SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT OR STOP SIGN, IT WILL STALL. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK PRETTY REGULARLY. ANOTHER WAY IT WILL STALL IS GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 MPH THE TRUCK WILL STALL AND JUST SHUT OFF. THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF ALONG WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND RADIO. THIS FORCES THE DRIVER TO HAVE TO PULL OVER ON THE FREEWAY AND CAN REALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. I CHANGED THE EGR VALVE AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT EVEN WITH NO CODES OR ENGINE LIGHT ON, IT IS STILL STALLING AT STOPLIGHTS AND LOW RPM SITUATIONS. THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SINCE THERE IS NO CODES COMING UP. ALSO READING THE PROBLEM ON WEBSITES SUCH AS CARCOMPAINTS.COM, IT SEEMS THIS PROBLEM IS ALOT MORE COMMON THAN I EVER THOUGHT AND SURPRISED IT HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. *TR
