NHTSA Complaint #10933880 — 2008 DODGE RAM 1500

MY TRUCK HAS QUIT FUNCTIONING 3 DIFFERENT TIMES (DAYS). ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THERE IS NO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ENGINE. MOST TIMES IT IS STILL RUNNING BUT I CANNOT MAKE THE VEHICLE MOVE. THE LAST TIME THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AND I COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE MADE REPAIRS BASED ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS WRONG, ONLY TO HAVE IT STOP EXACTLY THE SAME 4 OR 5 DAYS LATER. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS CONDENSER, OIL PRESSURE REGULATOR AND BATTERY CABLE, THE SECOND REPAIR WAS THE BRAIN. THIS THIRD TIME THEY HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS AND YESTERDAY THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG, IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM CODES WHEN ON COMPUTER. I DO NOT FEEL CONFIDENT NOR SAFE TO DRIVE A TRUCK THAT JUST STOPS WHEN I'M DRIVING. I HAVE FOUND OTHER COMPLAINTS ON A WEBSITE CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND HAVE FOUND 10 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH VERY SIMILAR VEHICLE PROBLEM. I AM LEAVING WORK EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS AND AM THANKFUL I AM NOT TRAVELING HOME DURING RUSH HOUR; I'D LIKELY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS BEEN VERY EXPENSIVE ALMOST $2000. AND STILL NO TRUCK. FIRST OCCURRENCE ABOUT 10NOV, 2ND OCCURRENCE ABOUT 16NOV, 3RD WAS 5DEC. *TR
