| Description of the problem | When coming to a stop or idling in traffic the rpms drop low and the truck shuts off. In the beginning it happened twice spaced about a month apart after the second time i took it to get looked at found nothing wrong. Didnt happen for a while. Now its happening often its been to several places nobody can find anything,no check engine light ,hooked up to the computer nothin. Called dodge directly no answers,went online found tons of complaints like mine all spending thousands replacing various parts with still no solution. My question are there any complaints in your database like mine and what's my course of action... As the last time it happened i stopped to make a turn just as i started in the intersection it shutoff.. Do i have to get in an accident before dodge will help! |
