2005 DODGE RAM STALLING. *TR

2005 DODGE RAM 1500 STALLS WHEN MAKING TURNS. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD ABOUT 12K MILES AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. OF COURSE NOW IT HAS 43K AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO I CANNOT AFFORD TO TAKE FOR $100 DIAGNOSTIC EVERYTIME TRUCK STALLS, JUST TO BE TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE STEERING AND BRAKES ARE ALMOST NON EXISTENT WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN MAKING A TURN. I JUST HOPE THAT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST MY TRUCK AND OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY DOES DODGE NOT STEP UP AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM? DOES IT TAKE A DEATH BEFORE THEY DO? *TR

(1) VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING IT, VIBRATION WHILE APPLYING BRAKES,HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM TRANS AND VEHICLE VIBRATION AT 50 TO 65 MILES AN HOUR (2) THESE PROBLEMS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ON 4 DEFERENT OCCASIONS,COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES HOW UNSAFE THIS VEHICLE IS AND THEY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEMS. (3) I FINALLY HAD TO PAY THEM TO REPLACE THE ROTORS AND BRAKE PAD FRONT AND REAR,HOW THE STALLING, THE VIBRATION ,HUMMING FROM THE TRANS AT 50 TO 65 STILL OCCURS TO DATE AND WAS REFUSED AT TWO OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND TURNED AWAY. *JB

THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON AND OFF FOR 2 YEARS. DEALER UNABLE TO FIND PROBLEM.

WE HAD JUST TURNED ON TO THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE POWER BEGAN TO FAIL FOR THE FIFTH TIME. WE WERE ALMOST HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC DUE TO THE ENGINE FAILURE . *JB
