Consumer Description

MY 2010 DODGE 1500 TRUCK STALLED ON MY WIFE ALMOST GETTING HER IN A WRECK, SHE PULLED IT OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. TOOK IT INTO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER CHIP AND FIXED IT. TWO DAYS LATER WIFE WAS DRIVING IT AGAIN AND IT STALLED. I DROVE IT AND IT DID IT TO ME WHEN I WAS ENTERING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY IT STALLED AND I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI, PULLED IT OVER AND PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STARTED UP. BROUGHT BACK TO DODGE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS THE SPARK PLUGS. THEY REPLACED THEM AT $225 AT MY COST AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. TWO DAYS LATER THE TRUCK STALLED ON MY WIFE AGAIN. SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK NOW BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T WANT TO GET INTO AND ACCIDENT WITH KIDS . BROUGHT BACK TO DODGE AND TALKED TO THE MANAGER ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE TRUCK. THEY TOLD US THAT THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE TIPM MODULE AT $1400 DOLLARS. IT'S BEEN ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AND NOW AFTER REPLACING THE TIPM IT IS STILL STALLING. WENT DOWN TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND ALL THEY SAID WAS THAT THERE STILL LOOKING AT THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. ALL I WANT IS MY TRUCK BACK FIXED AND TO DRIVE IT SAFELY.. *TR
