general problems of the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 - part 2

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup slt turn signals malfunction intermittently. Right signal will blink when left signal is activated and vice versa. Have had problem for approximately (1) month. Dealer indicates no recall or service bulletins issued. I ordered used replacement multifunction switch from e-bay. Still deciding if it is something I want to attempt on my own. Others on internet have had similar problems and found that replacing this part resolves the problem.

Engine quit at low speed. Applied brakes,went to neutral and was able to start car. I use tis truck to pull a fifth wheel,since this happened don't trust if this happened with the trailer there will be three dead bodies. Will get rid of this truck don't trust it. Dealer siad there is nothing they can do about sincs it it intermitten.

A very dangerous problem with my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up is occurring on a daily basis when I use the turn signal - windshield wiper - high beam " multi-switch". When trying to signal a left turn by pushing down on the "multi-switch" lever(left turn signal flashes two or three times then right turn signal activates uncommanded) if I try to engage the right turn signal some times it won't signal / flash at all. My truck only has 46,000 miles on it, not a good testimate for Dodge. I read in a Dodge repair website / forum that a lot of the same problems are occurring with the Dodge ram pick-ups and Mini vans. (all years) is there a recall or will a recall be considered in the near future? ## VIN passed ## Dodge ram quadcab 2005 ##.

Upon starting my vehicle it doesn't immediately respond to pressing the gas pedal. When it does get going the vehicle stalls and shuts off at the first slow down I make. This happens every morning. I have done nothing to fix the problem yet because no one can tell me what is causing it.

The contact owns the 2005 Dodge ram pickup 1500 series. The vehicle stalled when approaching a traffic lights and stop sign. The vehicle stalled while driving 10 mph. The engine shut down and the vehicle lost power. Occasionally was able to restart the vehicle immediately. Otherwise, it took 3-5 minutes to restart the vehicle. There were no warning indicator lights present when the vehicle stalled . The road conditions were not a factor. The dealer was uable to diagnose the failure. The current and failure mileage was 17,800.

2005 Ram 1500 decelerated while in cruise control on an upgrade. After several seconds the vehicle kicked down and raced the hemi engine. This was with enough power to push me into my seat. It exceeded the set speed by 7 mph and then returned to normal cruise behavior. Upon exiting the highway I stopped for a light at the end of the exit ramp. While waiting for the light to change the engine attempted at stall and then raced the engine up to 2500 rpms, then back to stall. This occurred three times before returning to normal idle. Wilson Dodge in torrington CT is finding no codes in the computer to explain the erratic behavior of the vehicle.

Vehicle is stalling and losing complete loss of power, very hard to steer vehicle. Occurs usually at low speeds, while turning or just driving straight. I have to place my vehicle in park & restart my engine. This has happened twice while I was turning in traffic & nearly collided with other vehicles with 3 small children in the car. I have requested for this to be diagnosed and researched several times by mechanics, but the defect has never been duplicated, resulted in a diagnosis, or resolved by a mechanic. It randomly occurs and just occurred again today in traffic, while turning left on an inside lane. I had cars behind and next to me. I had to come to a slow stop, but was unable to turn the wheel enough to remain in my lane, almost causing an accident. I feel this can result in a potentially fatal accident and want to report this immediately. I don't know what to do aside from seeking legal counsel at this point.

Four times in two years driving the Dodge ram vehicle suddenly died, loosing power steering and breaking. The first time it caused me to run through a stop sign when the vehicle was less than three months old. The second time, I was going slow and straight. The third time I was on a curve and barely maintained control while stopping. The final time in 2007 was on a curve and my vehicle stalled and ran off the road crashing/bumping into a curb. Each time was at speeds less than 30 mph. I was concerned it would occur at higher speeds. I had taken it to the dealer twice and they could not identify a problem. They claimed to have downloaded the black box and reported it did not indicate a stall. After fearing for my daughter that was with me, I immediately traded the vehicle in for a Ford. The dealer's service technicians treated it as though I was imagining the problem. The dealer I traded the vehicle into is both a Dodge and Ford dealer with the same repair staff servicing both lines of vehicles. I reported the problem to the dealer's sales staff when I traded the vehicle in. Did the dealer warn the buyer of the vehicle when they resold it? this dealer is still in business in branson, missouri.

My vehicle is a swb quad cab 4x4 1500 6 ft bed. I was traveling at 30 -35- mph going through a slight right curve when the engine shut off and I lost all power in the vehicle (in traffic) I put the vehicle in neutral and restarted the truck at about 20 - 25 mph and continued on. The trucked had been running for about 20 min before it happened. The second time I was leaving work and pulled up to the automatic gate and stopped to wait for it to open and the truck just died. It had only been running for about 2-3 min.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 15v313000 (air bags) and 14v796000 (power train); however, the parts needed to perform the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure related to the recalls. In addition, the steering wheel vibrated when making a left turn. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. While driving at low speeds, the vehicle stalled. Once restarted, the vehicle would resume normal operation. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 12,000.

My 2004 Dodge ram was in the driveway and had not been used for at least 24 hours. An electrical fire started under the hood on the drivers side and totaled the truck. The fire also damaged the driveway and surounding area.
