Truck kept overheating but it was never displayed on gauge of over heating. The coolant was flushed and replaced. A week later the truck stalled on the interstate and would not run. It would turn on but the engine would sound really loud and the truck and steering wheel would be trembling. It was towed to a mechanic and he claims that it would need a new engine. The over heating caused a rod to break. The truck on has 107,000 miles.

Ref 2003 Dodge Ram 1500qc 4. 7l 4x4 17000 miles on numerous occasions I had a near stalling issue, and 1 complete stall. I would start truck in morning let it sit for 2 minutes then drive to work as normal, no problems. After I leave work after an 8 hour tour I would start truck as normal let it sit for 2 minutes then drive away as normal after approx 100 yards through parking lot I would stop at stop sign waiting to turn, truck would bog down and chug as if it wanted to stall. I would tap the gas pedal while holding the brake down, then when it was clear I would drive as normal no more problems. The truck has done it numerous times . The truck was brought in to the dealer, spent a week, they said they couldn't find the problem with the idle, so they flashed the computer. I get the truck back drove home no problem drove to work next day no problem finished my tour started to drive home no problem, after 2 miles I made a left turn and truck stalled out narrowly missing a tree, I called dealer and gave them a code that flashed on dashboard, no such code had it towed in, they had the truck 3 more days, negative problems, but they installed an on board flight recorder so they can see what happens, so the recorder went in and the problem happens several times. I took the picture like the showed me how and got 3 good shots. The dealer gets the recorder back and says a few days until they hear from daimler/Chrysler. A week or so goes by and the problem happens a few more times. I call the dealer to find out what's going on, and they said the data was inconclusive. They wont do anything at this time. Daimler says until they have a dealer that comes forward with the same problem and a solution they wont act on it. So in the mean time keep driving the truck until this happens.

I've owned my 2003 Dodge ram for less than 2 years. Recently it felt like the idol was off, like it was going to stall. Before I could get it into the shop it broke down while diving on the expressway and had to be towed. Sludge was found in the engine, causing it to seize. This is impossible because I regularly change my oil as well as add oil as needed. The repair cost is $5000. 00 they don't want to honor the warranty because I did not save all my oil change receipts.

Vehicle stalls during parking lot manuvers on numerous occasions. Going from reverse to drive it stumbles and or stalls. Vehicle bought in June of 2003. 1rst time it happened was in August of 2003. Took vehicle in and they "flashed" the pcm. Continued to happen about every three months up to the present. Have had it into the dealer on a couple of other occasions since. They were not able to fix. Happened again in February, a few days after it was at cerritos Dodge. Called the service rep there, alfonzo cuadra, he said that I would be wasting my time bringing it back in again. He said that it is a known problem and there is no fix available. He said that there would be a new flash in the "near future" and he would call me when it was in. Still no call. There is a dangerous issue. Was almost hit in a parking lot the last time that it happened. I don't feel like this is a safe vehicle and Chrysler doesn't seem to care.

Driving on highway in 2004 & 2008, engine quit running(Dodge calls it a stall). Dodge trouble shooting database does not include this problem. Other independent data bases point to loss of crankshaft or camshaft pulse. There are no codes for this event, therefore no corrective action was taken after several scans at dealers. Safety hazard: possible multiple rear end collisions and possible fires. Ref. Dot / NHTSA vehicle owner's questionnaire no. 10251962.

2003 Dodge ram hemi stalling issue. I just read an article saying you were looking into the stalling issues on Dodge rams. I didn't see where the 2003 hemi 1500's were in the study but wanted you to know that they have stalling issues also. On multiple occations my Dodge has stalled since I purchased it in Dec. 2003. Most of the time it loses power and stumbles to go anywhere when I go from reverse to drive. I have to shut it off and then restart it to fix the problem. I have called and even brought the truck in to get it checked but the Dodge dealership said they didn't find a problem and didn't do anything. I know it is a know issue and hope something gets done about it ASAP.

The vehicle stalled on five occasions, and was unable to be fixed. Scc.
