| Description of the problem | I have a complaint just as the gentleman below me. I have came extremely close to having accidents so many times that it worries me to drive this truck any where any more. 5-8 times per week the engine stalls. Usually when slowing down to a stop or turning. Sometimes while accelerating at traffic lights. Check engine light is on with the codes po404 & po406 set (egr valve) serviceman at dealership said if not replaced, it can cause other damages to the engine. ***2005 dodge ram 1500 quad cab 4. 7l v8. 3-4 times / week the engine stalls while driving less than 10 mph, usually while slowing down to stop and sometimes while accelerating slowly. Check engine light is on with engine codes p0404 & p0406 set (egr valve) talked to service department at dodge dealership. They said that this is a common problem with this model and that dodge isn't doing anything to correct it unless i pay to have them fix it. The egr valve apparently has a design flaw and prone to fail. *jb *** |
