| 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? *tr | |||

| After delivering vehicle to dealership for diagnosis, it was discovered that the inter cooler had failed. the dealership refused to repair it because of the installation of after market parts. the 2005 model year was the only year to use plastic end caps on the inter cooler. the replacement inter coolers are welded aluminum. the mechanic noted that he had replace other inter coolers on stock vehicles suffering the same problem i had. not having any success with the dealership i contacted chrysler and was informed that because of the reported after market parts i am not covered under warranty and that i am not even eligible to bring my vehicle to another dealer for their opinion. the vehicle is a 2005 dodge ram diesel with 20,500 miles on it. i have picked the truck up from the dealership and will be installing an inter cooler myself. | |||
