NHTSA Complaint #10684177 — 2005 DODGE RAM 1500

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE TRUCK JUST STALLED. NO WARNING OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NOTHING. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT US OR WE DIDN'T HIT ANYONE. MY HUSBAND AND BROTHER PUSHED THE TRUCK INTO A NEAR BY PARKING LOT. AFTER ABOUT 20 MIN. THE TRUCK STARTED BACK UP. THREE DAYS LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET PULLING A TRAILER. THE TRUCK STALLED AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO ROLL INTO A PARKING LOT. IT STARTED BACK UP. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. HE COULDN'T FIND A CODE ON IT. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN QUITE OFTEN. THE MECHANIC FINALLY CHANGED OUT A SENSOR , THAT COST US $385.00. AFTER A WEEK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CODE COULD BE SEVERAL THINGS AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP CHANGING THINGS THAT ARE NOT WORKING. SO NOW IF I LET MY FUEL TANK GET DOWN LESS THAN A HALF TANK THE TRUCK MISSES AND TRIES TO CUT OUT LIKE ITS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID IT WILL STALL AND I AM A SMALL WOMEN. I CAN'T FIGHT IT WITH NO POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. *TR
