2004 DODGE RAM 1500 Engine And Engine Coolingengine Problems

DODGE RAM 1500 TRUCK JUST SHUTS OFF WHEN BRAKING OR TURNING. YOU HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INJURY TO SOMEONE AND DODGE HAS NOT RECALLED THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE CALLED OUR DODGE DEALER AND N ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE IN THE PAST MONTH. *TR

2004 RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI STALLS AT LOW ENGINE SPEEDS, OFTEN AT STOP SIGNS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, OR PARKING LOT MANEUVERS. WILL USUALLY START IMMEDIATELY BACK UP, SOMETIMES REQUIRES SLIGHT ACCELERATOR PRESSURE WHEN CRANKING IN ORDER TO OBTAIN SELF-SUSTAINING ENGINE SPEED. DURING DECELERATIONS, ENGINE RPM IS ERRATIC AND WILL OFTEN ENCOUNTER A TRANSIENT DROP IN RPM'S TO APPROXIMATELY 400 RPM BEFORE ENGINE DIES. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON AND SEVERE IN COLD WEATHER, OR WHEN ENGINE IS COLD, BUT HAS OCCURRED UNDER ALL CONDITIONS. THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS, HAPPENING ANYWHERE FROM ONCE A DAY TO A DOZEN TIMES. MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS HAVE LOOKED AT THIS, WITHOUT RESULT. THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN UPDATED, THE SENSORS, EGR VALVE, AND INTAKE MANIFOLD CLEANED, AND THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED. STILL NOT FIXED. VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAS LESS THAN 55K MILES. THIS IS...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. AFTER CHANGING THE OIL IN THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE OIL WAS BEING BURNED AT A QUICK RATE. THE OIL WAS BURNING 1,000 MILES FOR EVERY QUART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DALER WHERE THEY WERE CONDCUTING AN OIL EVALUATION. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NORMAL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,984.

ALL MODEL OF THE DODGE 4.7 MOTOR. MOTOR STOPS RUNNING DUE TO A PRONE SLUDGE BUILD UP DODGE WILL NOT RECOGNIZE IT AS A MOTOR FAILURE . IT IS INFACT A DESIGN FLAW DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BREAKING DOWN ON A HIGHWAY OR SUCH. MOTOR STOPS AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER OR BRAKE WITH THE ENGINE OFF AT 65 MPH. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. THOUSAND OF PEOPLE ARE BEING STRANDED IN NEED OF PLEASE RESEARCH.

I HAVE THE 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 WITH THE 5.7 HEMI. THE TRUCK INCONSISTENTLY STALLS FOR NO REASON. SOMETIMES AFTER FUELING UP THE MOTOR WILL SURGE AND SPUTTER BEFORE STALLING. MOST OF THE TIME THE MOTOR STARTS RIGHT BACK UP ONLY TO STALL AGAIN JUST A SHORT TIME LATER. OTHER TIMES THE MOTOR WILL NOT RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND ATTEMPTS. IT ONLY STALLS WHEN TRAVELING BELOW 25MPH AND SITTING AT IDLE. I NOTICED IT NORMALLY IDLES AROUND 700RPM, BUT JUST BEFORE A STALL IT WILL DIP TO 500RPM AND FEEL AS IT THERE IS A SLIGHT MISS IN THE MOTOR. NOTHING I HAVE TRIED HAS FIXED THIS ISSUE AND THE REPAIR SHOPS HAVE FAILED TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING AROUND I HAVE NOTICED THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AND I THINK DODGE SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS. WHENEVER THE ENGINE FAILS I LOSE...

2004 RAM 1500 QUAD CAB 5.7L HEMI. ENGINE SUDDENLY STALLS WHEN IT REACHES TEMPERATURE IF THE VEHICLE IS DECELERATING (STOP OR TURN). THE ENGINE APPEARS TO FAIL TO SWITCH CORRECTLY FROM HIGH TO LOW IDLE AND GOES RIGHT TO ZERO. THIS RESULTS IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF STEERING AND SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY WITH TIME AND BY THE ONLINE DESCRIPTIONS IS GETTING TO BE FAIRLY COMMON. *TR

BRAKING ON THE HIGHWAY LED TO ENGINE STALL AND FULL LOSS OF POWER TO VEHICLE. VEHICLE STALLED IN LEFT LANE AND NEARLY CAUSED A CRASH. ALSO, RACK AND PINION STEERING BEGAN TO FAIL AT 50,000 MILES. REPLACED AT 54,000. *TR

YESTERDAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON MY 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 DIED ON A BUSY ROAD WITH NO WARNING. AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS TRUCK HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN COMING TO A STOP DECIDED TO STOP RUNNING. (4-5 TIMES IN 2 YEARS)UNTIL YESTERDAY I WOULD TURN THE SWITCH OFF THEN RESTART AND I WOULD BE OKAY UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE ENGINE WAS CHECKED FOR CODES BUT NONE WERE FOUND. AFTER READING OTHER PROBLEMS ON YOUR SITE WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN SOLVED? SOMEONE SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE "DODGE" AND THE PUBLIC SAFETY SHOULD BE #1 CONCERN...... I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE TO THIS NOT SO UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH SHUTDOWNS & STALLING ENGINES. *TR

5.7 ENGINE STALLS, NO WARNING, WHEN SLOWING DOWN. CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING. *TR

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, ONCE I STOP THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST ALWAYS HAPPENS AFTER I PROCEED INTO A TURN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE CUTS OFF. I HAVE CARRIED IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE AND CAN FIND NO PROBLEM, THEY TELL ME ONCE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE MANUFACTURERS ATTENTION MORE THAN THREE TIMES, A SERVICE BULLETIN IS ISSUED. I KNOW OF ONE OTHER OWNER OF THIS SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THE INTERNET HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

MY HUSBAND BOUGHT OUR 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 (HEMI) IN JAN 2004 AND HAS ABOUT 130,000 MILES NOW. WE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BREAKS AND ROTORS JUST LIKE EVERY ONE ELSE ON HERE IN MARCH OF 2005 WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE ON AND THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THE RPM WENT TO ZERO BUT THE TRUCK WAS STILL RUNNING . TO GET THE RPM TO COME BACK ON WE WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTART THE TRUCK. EVERY TIME THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT WOULD COME ON, ALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC AT 65-70 MPH. THIS WENT ON FROM MARCH 2005- JAN 2007. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY COULDN'T GET ANY CODES TO COME UP. THEN IN JANUARY 07 WE GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY TO STOP AT A STORE AND HAD TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO THE STORE. THE TRUCK MADE...

OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT TO ZERO. NEVER CAME BACK. DODGE WILL NOT WARRANTY THE ENGINE , DEALER SAYS THE ENGINE IS SHOT, 56K AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP STARTED AT 8 GRAND TO FIX IT. IS NOW DOWN TO 4,500. IT APPEARS THIS COULD BE A COMMON PROBLEM BUT DODGE WON'T WARRANTY THE REPAIR. *JB

I JUST LEARNED YOU WERE LOOKING INTO AN ISSUE WITH 2004/05 DODGE RAM TRUCKS WHERE THE ENGINE STALLS. I OWN A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 QUAD CAB WITH A 5.7 LITER ENGINE. IN DECEMBER OF 2006, I WAS TRAVELING UP A HILL (A FAIRLY STEEP GRADE) AT ABOUT 30 - 35 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO COME LEFT AROUND A BEND. THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND HAS NOT STALLED SINCE. *NM

I HAVE AN 2004 DODGE RAM WITH A 5.7L HEMI ENGINE. MY TRUCK IS NOW AROUND 50K MILES. I HAVE HAD ENGINE STALLING SINCE DAY-ONE OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO TWO DODGE DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT HAS YET TO BE FIXED. THE ENGINE STALLS MOSTLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP. SOMETIMES IS JUST STALLS AFTER SITTING AT A LIGHT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. *JB

TL*- THE CONTACT HAS A 2004 DODGE RAM 1500 THAT HAS STALLED WHILE TRAVELING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER THE STALLING INCIDENTS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE CONTACT EXPERIENCE THE STALLING THE VEHICLE HAD AN ODOMETER READING OF 15,000 MILES.

TRUCK STALLED WHEN TURNING A CORNER. HAD TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE CORNER AND AFTER I RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK DIED WITHOUT ANY INDICATOR LIGHTS. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT AND DROVE OFF. *JB

HEMI ENGINE DIES FOR NO REASON. 3 TIMES WITHIN 1YR AND HALF, TRUCK RESTARTS FINE. HAPPENS AFTER IT IS PUT IN GEAR AND DRIVEN FOR @150FT. TOOK TO DEALER AND THE DENIED ANY PROBLEMS. *JB

TRUCK STARTED STALLING A FEW WEEKS AGO FOR MY WIFE. I FINALLY HAD THE CHANCE TO DRIVE IT AND IT FELL FLAT ON ITS FACE. MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS ALMOST PUT INTO A TELEPHONE POLE AT 45 MPH SINCE THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THIS TIME IT DIDN'T STALL IT JUST RAN WITH NO ACCELERATION AND HELD AT 4,000 RPMS. EXTENSIVE ATTEMPTS FOR COOPERATION BY DEALERSHIP AND DAIMLER CHRYSLER HAVE LED ME TO BELIEVE I BOUGHT A REALLY EXPENSIVE COFFIN. I ESTABLISHED THE TSB CODES W/ BOTH AND WAS LEFT HANSEN HIGH AND DRY. I GOT THAT " SURE WE'LL HELP, HERE' S A NEW TRUCK BUT WE CAN'T PAY OFF YOURS EVEN THOUGH WE SOLD IT TO YOU." AND THE" WE'RE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS EVEN THOUGH WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM IS OUR FAULT." I WILL NOT PURCHASE A DODGE VEHICLE AGAIN. SHAME ON DODGE!!!! I DON'T REALLY BLAME...

ORIGINALLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE EGR POSITION SENSOR AND THE DEALERSHIP RE PROGRAMMED THIS WITH NEW SOFTWARE THIS TOOK PLACE 02/07/06. SEEMED TO TAKE CARE OF ORIGINAL STALLING ISSUE. *NM THEN ON 12/2/06 I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY AND MY TRUCK WAS SHAKING BAD. I COULD TELL THAT THE ENGINE WAS MISFIRING. IF THE ENGINE WENT DOWN TO AN IDLE IT WOULD STALL, WHICH IT DID SEVERAL TIMES, LEAVING ALL SYSTEM COMPONENTS POWERLESS (NO STEERING OR BRAKES ETC). I HAD MY PREGNANT WIFE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME AT THE TIME. PUTTING HER IN DANGER THIS WAY LEFT ME LESS THAN THRILLED. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY. THEY TOLD US THAT CYLINDER #4 WAS NOT FIRING (NO COMPRESSION) AND TWO OTHER CYLINDERS HAD LIMITED COMPRESSION. THEY ENDED UP CALLING SOME DODGE TECH. LINE. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND A TSB REGARDING THIS PROBLEM....

TRAVELING AT 40 MPH TRUCK STARTED TO SHAKE. IT THEN STALLED OUT ON A SLOW-BRAKING TURN. HAD TO LIMP HOME AND THEN TO GARAGE USING ONE FOOT ON BRAKE AND ONE ON GAS TO KEEP THE RPMS UP. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS A STUCK AIR VALVE THAT MADE THE FUEL MIXTURE TOO RICH. SEVERAL CYLINDERS WERE MISSING. IT TURNED OUT THAT TWO VALVE SPRINGS WERE BROKEN. APPARENTLY THIS IS PRETTY COMMON. A LOT OF VALVE SPRINGS ARE BEING SOLD IN THE AREA. THE TRUCK HAD 73K MILES ON IT AND OF COURSE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT AT 70K. DEFECTIVE VALVE SPRINGS COSTING A COUPLE OF BUCKS COST ME OVER $1000 IN REPAIRS. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE BLOCK WASN'T DAMAGED. FOR A WHILE WE THOUGHT WE NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 40MPH, THE OIL PUMPED FAILED. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER READ THE OIL LEVEL WAS ZERO. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING ADDITIONAL TESTING.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 DODGE RAM 5.7 LITER HEMI PICK-UP TRUCK HOME FROM WORK ON 03-02-06 AND WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN I WAS PROBABLY GOING ABOUT 20 MILES PER HR. AND THE TRUCK JUST STALLED OUT I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN THE OPPOSING LANE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO POWER SO THE BRAKES WERE AT A LOSS AND SO WAS THE STEERING I'M GLAD I WASN'T GOING ANY FASTER THAN THAT. *NM

AT LESS THAN 300 MILES, SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE DOING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD A WIRE WAS LEFT LOOSE AND WRAPPED AROUND ANOTHER PART CAUSING THE PROBLEM. ALSO COMPLAINED THE TRUCK WAS DYING WHILE DRIVING. ALSO TOLD THIS WAS A WIRING PROBLEM. AT 19000 THE TIRES NEEDED REPLACED AND AT 80000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE DROPPED TO 0. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 6 OCCASIONS FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE FIRST 3 TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED, THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. ON THE FOURTH TIME THE PCM, MAP SENSOR AND THE NGC CONTROLLER WERE REPLACED. THIS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR ONLY A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE STALLING RETURNED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK FOR INSPECTION TWO MORE TIMES HOWEVER, NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION, IT HAS BEEN OVERHAULED 2 TIMES AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING ENGINE HESITATION PROBLEMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES DUE TO THE ABS. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE PULSATES. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE TO THE ABS AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

VEHICLE STALLED IN VARYING CONDITIONS. STALLED/STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT 3 TIMES. COASTING DOWN HILL 3 TIMES 60 + MPH. ACCELERATING UP HILL 4 TIMES AT 60 + MPH. DRIVING FROM STOP WITH WHEELS TURNED AF FULL LOCK 2 TIMES. ALSO STALLED AFTER STARTING UP OR WHEN PUT INTO REVERSE 2 TIMES. *AK

2004 DODGE RAM 1500 4X4 5.7 HEMI. ENGINE STALLS DAILY WHEN STOPPING AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. DEALER HAS "FLASHED' THE COMPUTER, BUT NEVER HELPS. *JB

WHILE STOPPED IN A TURN LANE, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS OCCURRING THREE DAYS AFTER SERVICED BY THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. HAVE SINCE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. SO FAR, THIS A PROBLEM THAT HAS ONLY MANIFESTED ITSELF IN TOWN AT LOW SPEEDS. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT MAY OCCUR ON THE FREEWAY, WHICH WILL LEAVE ME WITH NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES.*JB

I HAVE AN 04 DODGE RAM 1500 HEMI,WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT ANY GIVEN TIME TRUCK JUST SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY.I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND NOTHING WAS DONE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.NOW LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING UP THE STREET THE TRUCK SHUT OFF ONE MORE TIME CAUSING ME TO HIT A GUIDE RAIL.I FEEL THE TRUCK IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND PERSONALLY DONT WANT IT ANYMORE.

STALLING 2004 DODGE HEMI SPORT---STALLS UPON BREAKING OR COASTING AT AN INTERSECTION. BRAKES MAKE HIGH PITCH RINGING NOISE EVERYTIME BUT DEALER SAYS IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE OTHER. BEEN IN 4 TIMES FOR REPAIR, CO-PILOT INSTALLED TO TRY TO RETRIEVE ALTERNATIVE PICTURES OF SYSTEM SINCE NO CODES WERE SENT DURING SHUT DOWN. DEALER COULD NOT REPEAT STALLING, NOR COULD THEY RETRIEVE ANY INFO WITH CO-PILOT. NOW CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED THE DEALER THEY ARE NOT TO TOUCH MY VEHICLE ANY MORE FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE THEY CAN NOT REPEAT THE STALLING THEMSELVES. NOW I'M WAITING TO MEET WITH THE REGIONAL MANAGER OF CHRYSLER TO DISCUSS BUY BACK.

2004 DODGE RAM PICK UP, STALLING PROBLEMS. HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I COME TO A STOP. SEEMS TO BE ON VERY HOT DAYS FOR SOME REASON, BUT NOT EVERY TIME. DEALER ATTEMPTED FIX WITH CHRYSLER DOWNLOAD PROGRAM AND FAILED. BACK AGAIN FOR SECOND ATTEMPT, NOW WE ARE IN TEST MODE.

WHEN BRAKING/STOPING THE ENGINE WILL STALL, DEALERSHIP HAS VERIFIED STALLING PROBLEM. HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND AN UPDATE TO SOFTWARE IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT. DODGE DOES NOT KNOW THE RELEASE DATE OF SOFTWARE.

AT 6:45 AM AS I APPROACHED A RED STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE DIED. I NOTICED IT BECAUSE THE BREAKING AND STEERING BECAME DIFFICULT. IT RESTARTED EASILY AND I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK WITHOUT ANY OTHER PROBLEMS.

2004 DODGE RAM 1500 5.7 HEMI QC INTERMITTLENTLY STALLS AT IDLE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THROWS NO CODE. KEY MUST BE TURNED ALL THE WAY BACK, THEN FORWARD TO RESTART. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN ONLY WHEN ENGINE IS WARMED UP.*AK SAFETY HAZARD!

CONSUMER WAS PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING SPACE AND NOTICED THAT THE RPMS WERE GOING UP, AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A FUNNY NOISE. WHEN HE GOT TO THE ROAD AND APPROACHED THE STOP LIGHT THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THEN, VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AND SHUT DOWN. CONSUMER JUST PICKED THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE UP FROM THE DEALER THE DAY BEFORE. HE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FILTER IN THE TRANSMISSION WAS COMING APART. WHICH MEANT THAT NONE OF THE FLUID WAS GOING TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS BLEW OUT THE ENGINE.*AK THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION. *TC

BRAKES LOCKED UP ON 2004 DODGE RAM 1500. *MR THE BRAKES LOCKED UP. THEY UNLOCKED ON THEIR OWN AND CONTINUED TO BE FUNCTIONAL. THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THAT SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE BRAKE FLUID WAS IN THE BRAKE FLUID. THE CONSUMER FELT THAT THE SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, SELLING DEALERSHIP, OR MANUFACTURER TOPPED THE FLUID OFF INCORRECTLY. *SC A FAULTY BELT WAS REPLACED IN THE ENGINE. *JB

WHEN THE DRIVER MOVED ACROSS TWO LANES TO INITIATE A LEFT TURN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER. THE CONSUMER PUSHED DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT NOTING HAPPENED UNTIL THE DRIVER PUSHED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. WHEN THE PEDAL WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THE TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD QUICKLY AT A VERY HIGH RPM. THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER OCCURRED AGAIN, EVEN AFTER THE DEALER EXAMINED THE VEHICLE. THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD NOT DISENGAGE UNTIL THE VEHICLE'S SPEED EXCEEDED 8 MPH OVER THE SET SPEED. *AK

2004 DODGE TRUCK EXTRA CAB 1500 HAS PROBLEMS OF STALLING WHILE DRIVING.*MR THE DEALER FLASHED THE PCM BUT THAT DID NOT KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM STALLING. WHILE DRIVING UP A SLIGHT GRADE THE CONSUMER HEARD A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN IT WENT INTO OVERDRIVE. THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *NM

WHEN DRIVING DOWN A DECLINE AT ANY SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT WITH NO POWER. THE CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS BUT THE PROBLEM RECURRED. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *NM

VEHICLE SHOOK, AND ENGINE OVERHEATED. ALSO, ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. *AK

WHILE TRAVELING AT A HIGH SPEED, VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. CONSUMER SAID THERE WAS A TRACTOR TRAVELING CLOSE BEHIND AND ALMOST RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION. *LA
