| Description of the problem | I have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 when i get gas and fill up until the pump clicks (i do not top off tank) then upon pulling out of the gas station my truck stalls. If i stop for a red light truck stalls again and it continues to stall every now and then at low speeds, at a complete stop, when braking, slowing down, or at idle and last until i run some gas out of it (about 10 miles or so). Vehicle will start right up with no problem but battery gauge takes a few seconds to rise to operating levels. Transmission also feels like it wants to slip at time of stall. I took it to the dealership but because a code was not thrown it is my issue to deal with (have to drop the gas tank and replace a sensor in the overflow tube $500 plus dollars- which i do not just have lying around). I have avoided topping off at the pump and have to watch the amount of gallons of fuel i put in order not to have the same situation occur again. This is not a valid fix in my opinion. I can see the situation exists with other owners of the same year of my vehicle as well. Why is this not being addressed?!?! This is ridiculous and not to mention very frustrating and dangerous. I have my 3 children in the car with me most of the time and i cringe every time it happens just praying we donot get hit. |
