general problems of the 2004 Dodge Ram 1500

Dodge has a known history of fueling problems causing gasoline to flow out of the filling tube while at a pump. This is a hazard cause by their poor venting components. Check the internet and see the number of complaints about this. I've never heard of this with other manufacturers, but with Dodge it's a familiar occurrence.

Check engine light is on. Strong smell of gas when vehicle is shut off. Vehicle stalls at slow speeds. Can't tell the engine quit as the rpms bottom out and engine dies. Very dangerous for driving. No control after the engine stops. This happened twice today. First time was in traffic in a town at a stop light. Couldn't restart the engine for awhile and couldn't get the truck out of traffic. Second time slowed to turn around in a driveway entrance and backed up when I came to a stop to shift to d the engine stalled and I didn't know it. My truck was at an angle crossing 2 lanes of taffic. Luckily, I was able to get it restarted. I googled the problem and it seems to be very common and dangerous with limited success on finding a repair solution.

Truck began to overheat when stopping for more than a few minutes. Taken to the shop and they replaced cooling fan motor and temperature sensor. Three weeks later it did the same thing and all parts we're replaced again. This time it has lasted for six months but truck has begun to overheat again.

My truck stalls as I come to a stop. This happens probably about 4 times a month since the date above. The dealership hasn't been able to find the problem. I have read on forums online that a ton of other people are having the same problem. Some say it has to do with erg valve and it should be recalled. They said they replace the egr valve and the problem is fixed.

My 2004 Dodge ram1500 v8 5. 7 l engine 2wd stalls at intersections in cold temperatures. Also at times when the accelerator pedal is pressed there is no rmp increase. The stalling is extremely dangerous as I am at an intersection, I have to quickly restart the engine and hopefully not get rearended. I first noticed this problem at approximately 60k. I talked to my mechanic who informed me that there was a fuel system problem with Dodge 2003 and 2004 1500 v8 5. 7 l engines for trucks. He directed me to a web site were I discovered several sub sites with people describing the same problems I am experiencing. Engine stalling in cold temperatures at intersections with their 2003 and 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 v8 5. 7l engines. Some of them did get into crashes unable to avoid getting rearended. I was also informed by my mechanic that both 2wd and 4wd trucks with the 1500 v8 5. 7 l engines had this fuel system problem. My truck stalling is numerous daily, some times 2 or 3 times in the morning on the way to work, and again 2 or 3 times on the way home. What I have discovered is if I allow the engine to warm up, approximately 10 minutes, I won't stall. To be safe from getting rearended it's best I waste a little gas each time I start the engine. My mechanic also informed me that the problem has to do with an improper throttle body. The repair would be to remove the improper throttle body and install a proper throttle body. I did contact my Dodge dealership and talked to the service manager, (who shall not be named per your request), who informed me that there was no recall on my VIN number, of my truck, but would not tell me if their were any recalls on any 2003 or 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 v8. 5. 7 l engines for an improper throttle body causing stalling in cold temperatures when coming to a stop at an intersection. I am going to pay my deductible at the dealership and get my truck safe, but I also want to be reimbursed. This is unsafe and should be recalled. Thank you!.

I have a 2004 Dodge 5. 7 l 4x4 I have noticed that when I run the truck down to "e" and refill it to full the truck will stall when coming to a hard stop. The rpm goes up and down between 1000 and 2000 rpm. This only happens once after I fill the truck. I have looked on the inter net (edmonds/car "Dodge trucks stalling problems" and have located other the same problem. I also have a friend with the same truck and he is having the same issues. There are no codes or dash board lights coming on after it stalls. I am taking to a dealer to have it looked at and I asked if there were any reports of this truck stalling and they never heard of any. If you have had any complaints like this please let me know. Thank you for your time. P. S. I got this truck used.

After refueling the vehicle, it stalls several times when braking, slowing down, or at idle. This always occurs in colder weather months.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 hemi. After fueling the engine stalls, but will start backup up fine but for the next 30-60 miles it will stall at lights. Luckily I have not hit anyone yet but a few trees. And the dealer is no help, still under warranty.
