| I own a 2007 dodge ram 1500 4.7l qc. purchased new. i have had numerous incidents where the vehicle has shut off when braking upbruptly to a stop. at times while stopped, the truck idles high and the truck surges forward then shut off completely. i have to put in park and restart the truck. there has been times while in a the middle of a busy intersection when it would die. i have had other cars have to stop or maneuver away from me to avoid collision. it is at the point where i am afraid to drive this in heavy traffic. i have taken to the shop where they said it was a sticky egr valve. but it still continues. the dealership only wants to patch the problem then send you off. i am not suprise there hasnt be a fatally with this issue. *tr | |||
