Consumer Description

THE 2012 DODGE RAM 3500 4X4 6.7 DIESEL WILL INTERMITTENTLY STOP RUNNING. THE GAUGES WILL ALL GO DEAD, THE ENGINE WILL STOP RUNNING AND WILL NOT START UP AGAIN UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED, PUT IN PARK AND KEY TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE VEHICLE IS AT HIGH OR LOW SPEEDS, WITH OR WITHOUT A LOAD, PULLING A TRAILER OR RUNNING EMPTY. ONCE IT HAS STARTED BACK UP, IT MAY RUN FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR A COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE IT DOES IT AGAIN. IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE OR WEATHER BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED IN HOT AND COOL WEATHER AND WET AND DRY CONDITIONS. YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH. LAST WEEK IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AT LESS THAN 5 MPH. ROAD SURFACE DOES NOT SEEM TO CREATE THE CONDITION FOR THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN EITHER BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ON BOTH SMOOTH SURFACES WHEN IT HAPPENED AND ON DIRT ROADS HAPPENED, ALWAYS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM OR IS THIS TRUCK JUST AN ODDITY?
