| Our truck has stalled aprox. 15-20 times while we are driving down the road or while making turns. it hasn't resulted in any accidents yet, but there has been many times when we are making a turn and it stalls all of a sudden while traffic is coming twoards us. i feel that we have only so much time before this causes a bad accident. our truck is a 2004 dodge ram 1500 5.7 liter hemi. i hope that there will be a recall on this matter, because i've read many other peoples complaints about this same thing. i feel very unsafe driving with my wife and my 3 year old son in the truck, not to mention the lives of the people in the other cars. | |||

| Consumer was pulling out from a parking space and noticed that the rpms were going up, and the engine was making a funny noise. when he got to the road and approached the stop light the same thing happened. then, vehicle slowed down and shut down. consumer just picked the brand new vehicle up from the dealer the day before. he had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and was told that the filter in the transmission was coming apart. which meant that none of the fluid was going to the transmission. this blew out the engine.*ak the dealer replaced the transmission. *tc | |||

| 2004 dodge 1500 quad cab 22k miles. rear passenger axle end broke off causing no control of vehicle, thus the truck spins into a sign and damaged the passenger rear bed. police report says that it looked like a manufacture defect of the axle. we went on line that night and found several cases they same. i contacted chrysler and they had an investigator come and look. after approx 5 weeks i got a letter back that says the axel broke due to impact and they were not going to pay for anything. just type in dodge axles broke and the internet has a lot of the same failures recorded by other dodge owners. this is not right someone can be killed with this fault. the wheel and brakes all just break off leaving no control. *jb | |||
