Description of the problem	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 a loud pop noise and died. When my husband started the truck back up it was sputtering and wouldn't stay running without keeping the truck above 2000 rpms. I took the truck to my dad who is a robertson tire repair tech. He couldn't get any codes to come up. Then about 45 min after letting the truck sit he ran the codes again and got about fifteen codes. We replaced all the sensors and it didn't help so went to the dealer again. They couldn't get any codes and couldn't tell us what was wrong. Why it wouldn't stay running. So i just thought i would file my complaint and let everyone know what happens after its done stalling what happens next. I will not buy another dodge. *nm
