NHTSA Complaint #11185684 — 2005 DODGE RAM 1500

THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY STALL WHEN STOPPING OR STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. IT CAN BE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. IT WILL ALSO INTERMITTENTLY FLASH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CHIME WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED IN 2008. IT HAPPENS WITH COLD OR WARM ENGINE. IT MAY HAPPEN ONCE A WEEK, ONCE A MONTH, OR SEVERAL TIMES IN ONE DAY. USUALLY MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 65 DEGREES. THERE ARE NO CODES STORED AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DISPLAYED (OTHER THAN THE INTERMITTENT LIGHT & CHIME).. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE ARE NO TSB'S COVERING MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE HUNDRED OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH OWNERS 4.7 ENGINES IN OTHER DODGE & JEEP PRODUCTS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT WELL OVER $1,000 ON THIS PROBLEM AND NOT SOLVED IT. WE RECENTLY MOVED FROM A RURAL AREA TO A LARGE CITY. DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM IN HEAVY TRAFFIC IS VERY STRESSFUL. WE RECENTLY STARTED TRANSPORTING A BABY IN THIS VEHICLE AND THE IMPATIENCE OF OTHER CARS WAITING FOR US TO RESTART OURS LEADS TO OTHER VEHICLES TO TAKE AGGRESSIVE ACTIONS WHICH WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
