| Description of the problem | Our truck has stalled aprox. 15-20 times while we are driving down the road or while making turns. It hasn't resulted in any accidents yet, but there has been many times when we are making a turn and it stalls all of a sudden while traffic is coming twoards us. I feel that we have only so much time before this causes a bad accident. Our truck is a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5. 7 liter hemi. I hope that there will be a recall on this matter, because i've read many other peoples complaints about this same thing. I feel very unsafe driving with my wife and my 3 year old son in the truck, not to mention the lives of the people in the other cars. |
