My car for over a year now stalls without notice causing a deadly safety issue . While stopping ,turning or slowing and lately even while on the freeway my car will die ,sometimes im not aware of it until the steering wheel locks up . I have almost been hit many times including one time I was almost hit by a bus . I have 5 small children and im paranoid everytime we get in the car . The incidents are increasing in frequency . In the beggining it happened every few days now it happens several times a day. It also revs rpm while in park and at stops ,many times it dies altogether . In all these cases the car starts right back up . There is also an annoying ticking noise from the car . I havent had the car repaired yet because during resaerch I discovered many people having same problems and have spent hundredsof dollars trying to fix but to no avail . Im on a limited income and cant afford to spend that kind of money only to have the problems remain!!.
The truck loses all power while driving and stalls. This happens at any given time in high traffic areas, low traffic areas and at all speeds. The check engine light comes on and stays on. The dealer states that it is the egr valve. This appears to be very common with this vehicle.
Clicking noise under hood, was told by Dodge dealership that it had to do with the exhaust or exhaust manifold. Was told at two different dealerships that it could not be repaired. According to searches, it seems to be a common problem with this vehicle. Noise gets louder the more you accelerate.
