Engine problems of the 2005 Dodge RAM

Two problems related to engine have been reported for the 2005 Dodge RAM. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Engine problem

Failure Date: 03/19/2007

When you let off the gas to slow down the engine cut off and lost power steering. It has happened 10 times in 2 years, but the last time it happened I was about to turn right; I hit a sign and scratched the whole right side of the truck. Dodge claimed we can't fix it because we don't know what is causing it.

2 Engine problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2007

I have an 05 Dodge 1500 with the 5. 7 hemi. It has always idled low but dealer says otherwise. It starts out as a engine sputter then it dies leaving no power steering or brakes. The last time this happened I was in rush hour traffic with both lanes turning left. Very dangerous to drive. I don't feel safe with my children and wife driving this vehicle. I took it to the dealer and paid 300 for a sensor. Drove fine for a day then started doing the same thing. This has happened many times. Found many other people with same problem.
