Sometimes when you stop at a red light or stop sign and then try to go the truck dies especially after getting gas and sometimes happens when turning to the right. We have taken it to the Dodge dealership several times for this problem but they haven't fixed it. We have a lifetime warranty but they haven't fixed it. The date at the bottom is the last time it happened but it has been happening for a few years and the dealership in tyler, texas has not fixed it.

I purchased my vehicle 7 days ago. I have discovered a dangerous issue that only presents itself immediately after refueling. At low speeds in, turning, or while maneuvering through traffic the truck will chug and then die. Leaving my vehicle without power steering and little braking ability. It happened twice after fueling Friday, and then again three times after fueling today. Two of the three times I was in heavy traffic and was almost in a collision by unsuspecting drivers behind me. The third time I was turning onto a sharp on ramp to merge into traffic. Thankfully it died at the bottom of the ramp and not at the top where I would have been in traffic. And thankfully my wife wasn't driving, because without power steering her and my two daughters would have likely straightened out the on ramp and found themselves at the bottom of a steep bank. If this would happen while crossing a busy intersection a collision would be highly likely with fatalities for sure. The problem lasts for about the fist ten to fifteen miles of driving, and dies at lower speeds 0-25 mph. I have read about NHTSA investigations into other Chrysler vehicles presenting the same issues, and where the warranties have been extended on the fuel tanks to resolve the issue. These warranties must be extended to the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 as well in order to resolve this issue before someone is caught in traffic and killed.

The engine completely shuts down. Also very hard to start. Difficult to turn off engine .

Driving on the philadelphia turnpike coming from the airport heading to allentown driving about 65 mph . . . The vehicle engine turn off. . The electrical was still working so I manage to "wrestle" the vehicle to the shoulder lane once I stop it started right away took it to a dealer to get it looked at thought they might a recall on my vehicle they told me there were none. . . They looked at it and found nothing wrong the vehicle. They wanted to keep the vehicle to see if it would happen again. . Funny I brought new never had that problem. . . . Im not sure if it will happen again. . . I was lucky nobody got hurt on the highway. . . Maybe I wont be next time if it happen again.

Arrived at work and parked vehicle a little after 6:00am. Went on my bus run and at about 7:45am I received a call to return to the transportation center. When I arrived the fire department was there along with the sheriffs, that's when I saw my truck. At this point the fire was out and my trucks engine department was totally gone. The only thing that was left was the block. I informed my insurance company who was very quick and whom I was very pleased with. I also made several calls to Chrysler corp. , talked to several people who always told me they were taking notes and would call me back the next day or so and never heard from them. Today I talked to someone in the legal dept. And was told that my truck was out of warranty and they were not liable for anything. I am very glad it was not parked in my garage at the time of the fire or that I was driving it. I am in the market for another truck but have doubts about another Dodge. I was looking for a little reassurance from Chrysler but as you can see I received very little to none.

While waiting in traffic for light to change at corner of jackson bluff road and hwy 544, conway, SC, on 4 August 2012, truck suddenly accelerated even when brake was applied. Was able to whip truck onto sidewalk at jackson bluff rd & 544 to avoid an accident. It appeared that truck engine accelerated to as much as 2000 rpm even with brake on as firm as possible.

My abs and brake light blinks on and off all the time and dings. When I roll my windows up sometimes it turns my radio on and off. I can be going down the road and my gas hand will drop to empty and also my speedometer will drop to zero even if I am going 60 mph. My cargo light will turn on by itself sometimes and if I turn it on is it very hard to get it turned off.

At 35,000 miles my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 number 8 spark plug (against the fire wall) melted into the ingnition coil. At 50,000 miles the left tie rod had to be replaced. This vehicle is well maintaned and no off road driving.

When key is hit (such as with knee) engine will turn off. Same as gm problem. When brought to attention of dealer, was told they could replace ignition switch at my expense.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving at an unknown speed, the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact performed a diagnostic test and determined that the vehicle had low oil pressure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 15,000.

With approx. 23,000 miles the oil sensor was faulty. The vehicle was purchased new on dec06. Dealership replaced the sensor free of charge under the warranty. This would have cost a few hundred dollars off warranty. Other 07 Dodge owners I have talked to have also had this problem as well.
