| Description of the problem | i have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 series, 4. 7 litre engine and am experiencing a stall out problem when i go to turn a corner . This has happened to me several time. It's a very dangerous and scary situation to lose complete power, steering and braking power. Thank god this has never happened at an intersection or i might not be typing this complaint too you at this time. I thought i was crazy until my husband showed me an article from the toledo blade on may 21, 2005 in regards too the goverment investigating this same problem with the 2004 and 2005 dodge rams. Sincerely, charlotte beutler |
