| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2005 dodge ram slt 1500 4x4. this truck currently has around 15000 miles on it. i have personally put 3500 miles on this truck. in the 2 months that i have driven this truck the engine died 4 times as i was driving. each time the engine died i was turning uphill and to the left with my foot off the accelerator. i have taken this truck to the dealership twice. the second time i took it to the dealership , 3 weeks ago, to see if they could fix the problem. i convinced them to replace the idle air control motor. the same problem occurred again today. the engine died as i was pulling into a friend's driveway. the problem has the potential to cause a serious accident. the first time this happened i was pulling out onto a busy road. this problem has never shown up on the diagnostic computer at the dealership, and i urge you to research this problem to prevent future accidents. i have heard from other owners of the 05 ram series that have the same problem.*ak |
