| Description of the problem | My 2005 dodge ram 1500 has a stalling problem. It seems to happen at low speeds, while turning, and while having the brake applied. I have taken it to the dealer too many times to note. They have made one repair attempt. I was told that there was going to be an update on the software, but never received a call back. Every time i take it in the dealer tells me there are no codes on the computer - and therefore they cannot diagnose the problem. And am told that they cannot duplicate the problem (might be because they drive it for 1 mile). I guess when the truck stalls and fatally kills a bunch of people is when they will make an effort to address and repair this problem!!!! It is very scary to have your vehicle stall leaving you with no power steering and no power brakes and virtually no control over your truck!!! |
