| Description of the problem | I am having a few problems with my truck for the past year. 1) my truck will stall out or have a dip in the rpm's when stopping at a stop sign or stop light. 2) the big problem i have happens once every 1-2 months. I will be driving my truck and all of a sudden the check engine light will flash and the truck has no power at all. The gas pedal will be on the floor and the truck will have no response. The thing that i am worried about is if this problem happens on the freeway and i get into a big car accident. I brought the truck into 2 different dodge dealerships and they both said the same thing. "whatever is happening isn't being copied to the computer and while our mechanics took it out for a test drive the problem didn't happen." they said the only way they would be able to diagnose the problem is if it happened while they drove it. So they couldn't do anything fix the problem. |
