| Description of the problem | My vehicle will stall when i apply the brakes to the vehicle. This in turn causes the vehicle to shut down all power steering and braking. My truck is a fairly large vehicle, and when you start to brake in advance and the vehicle stalls, especially when icy outside its very hard to stop the vehicle. I have reported this to my dealership and brought my vehicle in endless times, it has sat there for several days while their technicians sit around and try to figure what the problem is... Everytime their answer is, were not sure because this is the first anyone has ever heard of it. We fixed "whatever" but we don't know what it really it. Everytime i then take the vehicle, it stalls, i've almost killed a pedestrian and rear ended a truck... What will it take, someone to get killed before dodge takes this as a serious safety problem? |
