Consumer Description
I PURCHASED MY 2021 RAM 1500 LIMITED NIGHT EDITION ON MARCH 11, 2021. IT WAS NEW. WITHIN 3 WEEKS AND LESS THAN 1,000 MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. THE FUEL TANK WAS FULL AND THE ENGINE WAS WARM EACH TIME. THE FIRST TIME AROUND MARCH 17 I WAS ALONE IN THE CAR. I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND THEN DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND AS I TURNED TO THE RIGHT THE CAR STALLED. NO ERROR MESSAGE CAME UP. I STOPPED THE CAR. TURNED THE GEAR SHIFT KNOB TO P AND PRESSED THE START/STOP BUTTON TWICE AND THE TRUCK STARTED BACK UP. 10 DAYS LATER WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, THEN PRESSED ON THE GAS AND MADE A LEFT TURN THIS TIME AND THE CAR STALLED. AGAIN, FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS COMING BECAUSE MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND SOMEONE COULD HAVE T-BONED US. THE CAR HAS BEEN WITH THE DEALER FOR A WEEK AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER ANYTHING. THERE WERE NO ERROR MESSAGES AND THEY HAVE NOT REPRODUCED THE PROBLEM. I AM WRITING TO PUT THIS ON THE RECORD IN CASE ANYTHING HAPPENS TO US.
