NHTSA Complaint #11254599 — 2016 RAM 1500

SUDDEN STOP AT 75 MPH IN FREEWAY. SAFETY HAZARD! MY 2016 DODGE RAM SUDDENLY STOPS RANDOMLY WHEN GOING AT 75 MPH. IT HAS CAUSED SEVERAL PEOPLE TO ALMOST SLAM INTO MY TRUCK. ONE MAN WAS SO ANGRY I PULLED OVER AND TOLD HIM I WAS SO SORRY. THE GUY SAID THERE WERE NO BRAKE LIGHTS SO IT WAS DANGEROUS!!! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY TELL ME SINCE IT DOESN'T GIVE THEM A CODE, THEY CANNOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. THE MANAGER AT THE SANTA CRUZ, CA DEALERSHIP TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE WITH A SCANNER ATTACHED; IT HAPPENED TO THEM BUT NO CODE APPEARS! AFTER THEY CHANGED A PART, THEY GAVE IT BACK BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. THEY ARE RELUCTANT TO DO ANYTHING ELSE BECAUSE RAM DOESN'T WANT TO COVER THE COST. THIS IS MY ONLY TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY'S LIVELIHOOD AND RAM DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH IT, BUT IT'S A SAFETY MATTER. THIS IS A DODGE MATTER THAT MUST BE RESOLVED BY THEM. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A FAULTY UNSAFE VEHICLE BUT I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THAT VEHICLE FOR SAFETY AND ECOLOGICAL REASONS; I HOPE DODGE CAN BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDING ME WITH A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL.
