Consumer Description
V8 ENGINE REPEATEDLY AND UNPREDICTABLY STALLS AND LOSES POWER DURING DRIVING AND TURNING SITUATIONS. RECOVERS AFTER 1-2 SECONDS IN SOME INSTANCES, STALLS COMPLETELY AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART IN OTHERS. PRODUCES EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN TRAFFIC AND AT INTERSECTIONS. LOCAL DODGE DEALER (HALL DODGE) HAS HAD CAR FOR SIX WEEKS+ AND HAS FAILED TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE & REPAIR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM INVOLVES FUEL TANK VALVE, AS IT IS MORE PREVALENT (SEE MANY ONLINE POSTS OF IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS SINCE 2005 AND BEFORE) AFTER FULL FUEL FILL AND PERSISTS UNTIL UNRESTRICTED FUEL APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN USED TO SUFFICIENT DEGREE. DEALER HAS REPLACED UNLIKELY ITEMS SUCH AS SUNROOF MODULE AND THE ABS MODULE IN FUTILE AND INEPT ATTEMPTS TO SKIRT THE REAL ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IN ONE OF THESE CARS WHEN IT STALLS --CHRYSLER DODGE IS 100% KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THIS DEFECT IN MANY OF THEIR CARS, AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO CORRECT IT. WE IMPLORE NHTSA TO INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY! POSTED 27 FEB 2013. *TR
