NHTSA Complaint #10607485 — 2005 DODGE RAM 1500

WHILE DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO STOP BEHIND A STOPPED VEHICLE MY 05 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH A V8 STALLED OUT. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL TO START IT BACK UP & CONTINUE GOING. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING THAT I NO LONGER CAN KEEP COUNT. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN MAKING A TURN WHICH CAUSED ALL LOSS OF POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES. SO FAR I HAVE NOT WRECKED WHEN THIS HAPPENS BUT IT SCARES ME OR MY TEENAGE DRIVER TO DEATH. I HAVE REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES OVER SEVERAL YEARS & NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I ALSO KNOW THIS HAPPENS WITH THE 2004 MODEL OF DODGE TRUCKS AS MY NEPHEW OWN ONE THAT I HAVE DROVE & IT HAPPENED THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN TRUCKS IS HIS 04 HAS THE HEMI. AND THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING IS ON. I GUESS SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE TO WRECK & DIE BEFORE DODGE RECALLS & FIXES THE PROBLEM. BUT UNTIL THEN I WILL KEEP REPORTING HERE & TO DODGE. *TR
