| Description of the problem | While driving with the air conditioning on when i slowed down to stop behind a stopped vehicle my 05 dodge ram 1500 quad cab with a v8 stalled out. I had to put the truck into neutral to start it back up & continue going. This has happened so many times while slowing down or stopping that i no longer can keep count. It has also happened when making a turn which caused all loss of power steering & power brakes. So far i have not wrecked when this happens but it scares me or my teenage driver to death. I have reported it several times over several years & nothing is being done. I also know this happens with the 2004 model of dodge trucks as my nephew own one that i have drove & it happened the only difference in trucks is his 04 has the hemi. And this only happens when the air conditioning is on. I guess someone is going to have to wreck & die before dodge recalls & fixes the problem. But until then i will keep reporting here & to dodge. |
