| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Ref 2003 dodge ram 1500qc 4.7l 4x4 17000 miles on numerous occasions i had a near stalling issue, and 1 complete stall. i would start truck in morning let it sit for 2 minutes then drive to work as normal, no problems. after i leave work after an 8 hour tour i would start truck as normal let it sit for 2 minutes then drive away as normal after approx 100 yards through parking lot i would stop at stop sign waiting to turn, truck would bog down and chug as if it wanted to stall. i would tap the gas pedal while holding the brake down, then when it was clear i would drive as normal no more problems. the truck has done it numerous times .the truck was brought in to the dealer, spent a week, they said they couldn't find the problem with the idle, so they flashed the computer. i get the truck back drove home no problem drove to work next day no problem finished my tour started to drive home no problem, after 2 miles i made a left turn and truck stalled out narrowly missing a tree, i called dealer and gave them a code that flashed on dashboard, no such code had it towed in, they had the truck 3 more days, negative problems, but they installed an on board flight recorder so they can see what happens, so the recorder went in and the problem happens several times. i took the picture like the showed me how and got 3 good shots. the dealer gets the recorder back and says a few days until they hear from daimler/chrysler. a week or so goes by and the problem happens a few more times. i call the dealer to find out what's going on, and they said the data was inconclusive. they wont do anything at this time. daimler says until they have a dealer that comes forward with the same problem and a solution they wont act on it. so in the mean time keep driving the truck until this happens. *jb |
