| Description of the problem | If truck has a full tank of gas, it will stall if slowing down or coming to a halt. If it is full, and you are driving down interstate, it seems to be fine, as you exit the interstate and come to a light or stop, it will stall and you have to restart. Only happens if a full tank. No dodge shops can answer why. Numerous you tube videos on this issue with no answers from the experts. My only child drives this vehicle, so yes, i am concerned about this and worry that this may worsen and lead to stalling on the interstate at a high rate of speed, say 70 versus 40 and slower. Bought vehicle in 2012 and it continues to this day. Needless to say, we never fill up this truck. My dates on here are not precise. Truck was bought march of 2012 with about 85k miles. This problem continues to this date. You might want to enter this problem on youtube and see what you get. Very interesting. |
