Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problems of the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500

This will be the 4th time since late 2020 that this vehicle will stall either at a stop or at low speed. Egr valve has been replaced 3 times. You lose power steering and harder to brake but for the grace of god my wife has not had an accident. If you search online there are hundreds of similar complaints.

My 2005 Dodge ram has been stalling while idiling at stop lights/signs. It was throwing a code of p0115. I have now replaced the throttle body, egr valve, thermostat, ect sensor, and cam sensor . The truck is at the Dodge dealers for now 9 days. The service tech are pulling out their hair trying to find the issue. I see that other Dodge trucks and cars have the same problem. So why is there not a recall on this item? this is a safety concern. Especially when the truck dies while turning I could get hit. I have been dealing with this on my own for the past three months. Now the service techs are at their wits end too.

Engine has stalled intermittently in the past, usually at low speeds (I. E. When pulling out of driveway or street or shifting from drive to reverse when parking. Multiple times, there was no warning and vehicle just cut off in middle of road, with no power steering or brakes. Luckily no accident, but this seems like it could be a dangerous situation. I never thought anything of this before because it happened so infrequently and vehicle always restarted. This morning the vehicle stalled while standing in line at gas station (after filling tank), and then multiple times after that. This is new since in the past, it would stall once and be fine. This seems to be a degradation of something, but no engine lights are on, so no codes to check. The crankshaft position sensors was replaced recently after and engine light came on and vehicle would not start. The sensor replacement has fixed that problem and this seems unrelated to the stalling issue.

This incident has now happened more than once and I am quite concerned. As I drive my 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 v8 hemi, it stalls on me without warning. Prior to this the svc engine light would come on. I took it in to autozone w/a registered egr sensor, valve, etc. I replaced the valve, cleaned out the throttle. The light went away after this fix. But as I stated, as I drive the vehicle it continues to shut off w/no notice at all. I thought to prompt an investigation as all of my online findings would indicate the exact same problem.

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 4. 7 liter v-8. The problem like many others have had is that the truck will rev up and down at idle and slow speed. After the truck stalled, almost getting me in a sever crash at an intersection while towing my boat, I took it to the dealer. They said the egr valve was bad and replaced it. This worked for about a year now the problem is back.

I have a 05 Dodge Ram 1500 with hemi eng. About 6 months ago it starting stalling from time to time. Usely when I slow down to stop the eng shut off. It will restart but not normal, I have to push the gas pedal down, its starts up and is ok for days. If I am above 60 mph when it malfuction it will start surging and I shift to nutural and riv the eng up and put it back in drive and its ok again . I am below 60 mph when malfuction occures the eng quits. The tem is always below 50 degrees. Took to Dodge dealer they charge me 66 dallors to tell me they could not determ the problem . And they would not let me talk to their machanics . If I could talk to them we might could figure out the problem, I suspect it has something to do with the electronic throttle control.

When the truck is at a lower idle speed like 5 or 10 mph such as at a stoplight or stop sign, it will stall. This happens about once or twice a week pretty regularly. Another way it will stall is getting onto the freeway at about 30 to 40 mph the truck will stall and just shut off. The power steering shuts off along with the interior lights and radio. This forces the driver to have to pull over on the freeway and can really cause an accident. This has happened to me three times in the last 3 years. I changed the egr valve and that was supposed to fix the problem but even with no codes or engine light on, it is still stalling at stoplights and low rpm situations. The local Dodge dealership cannot find anything wrong since there is no codes coming up. Also reading the problem on websites such as carcompaints. Com, it seems this problem is alot more common than I ever thought and suprised it has not been a recall yet.

The truck just stalls out occasionally when you're going around a corner in city traffic (around 15mph). The truck loses power steering and brakes. Its really hard to steer a vehicle that big without when it stalls out and my wife was lucky to not get hit from behind or crash into another vehicle. The dealer has replaced the egr valve twice and replaced the ecm, once in 2007 and then this year. Hopefully, this will fix the issue permanently, but I have my doubts.

I own a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 slt 4x4 5. 7l v-8 hemi. This truck and stalling out have become synonymous. Within the first six months of owning the truck I notice that whenever I would cold start the truck and put it into gear the rpms would drop and the truck would stall. Similarly it would stall out whenever I was coming out of reverse and into drive (after backing up). I took it to the dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a faulty crimp in the spin up transmission filter. They replaced the filter and everything was fine for about a year. The truck started dying on me again only this time the check engine light would come on and off at random intervals (not seemingly related to the truck dying). I took it in and this time they diagnosed a faulty egr valve. Apparently is was sticking open and causing the truck to run lean and stall out. They replaced it and what do you know. . . About a year later (yesterday) I was coming home from work and the truck started shuddering and dying and had no power under acceleration. . . The check engine light came on and now here it sits in the shop. . . Again for the same problem. Three times this truck has actually put my safety in jeopardy by dying in the middle of the road (the second time was in the middle of the highway during rush hour and I nearly avoided a collision). I've done some research and apparently this is a common problem. I have found hundreds of complaints online for this very same problem and have even found people who claim to have gotten into accidents because of this vehicle stalling. Dodge cannot determine the cause of this problem and because they cant/wont investigate hard enough they will not issue a recall. How many people have to get into accidents or die because of this problem before it gets elevated to higher attention levels?.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 quadcab lwb. While driving 65 mph in below zero temperatures, the pvc return system causes the vehicle to squirt oil into the engine. As a result, the defrost system becomes clogged and fails. The windows were unable to defrost and left oil residue on the windshield. The failure has caused severe eye burnings, stomach pains, and choking of the occupants. The manufacturer stated that there was no mechanical failure and no parts available. They were unable to determine and correct the failure. When the parts arrive, the repair will cost $400. The manufacturer also advised the contact to drive in temperatures above zero degrees. The failure and current mileages were 70,050.

Since I first bought this truck in 2005 its had a pretty serious problem with stalling out when coming to a stop, and even worse, sometimes mid turn while moving. This is a very dangerous issue since loss of control is eminent in this type of incident. Along with this stalling out, the truck has a rough idle/surging idle issue when at a stop. Ive tried all types of repairs, and spent alot of money trying to fix this issue with no avail. I took it into Dodge after I first bought the truck and they said they could not recreate the problem and everything was fine. I took it in again and they cleaned the throttle body. Still same issue. Now ive replaced, out of my own pocket, the egr valve, throttle body itself, evap purge valve, and have tried a list of other remedies. Still not fixed. After a quick search of many different Dodge ram club online forums this is a very very very common issue with these trucks, and all of us owners are fed up. Dodge wont take responsibility for this serious issue, and unfortunately people may die because of this. Please help us!.
