2007 Dodge Ram 1500 after getting fuel every stop or turn truck without warning stalls no power. Truck will hesitate but start no codes have come up and changing gas and fuel system showed no signs or failure dealers have no answer.
Three sets of rotors and brakes in two years, 4wd auto light flashing and works intermittently(just started plus electrical noise in dash and heat stops blowing. Sounds like it's going to start on fire. I have to get to work so I have to drive it. (I have five kids a crabby wife and a granddaughter to feed), tie rod on drivers side went bad. So I had everything replaced. I've sunk allot of $$ into it and can't afford another penny. I'm concerned of all the complaints saying the computer goes bad causing the actuator to go bad as well. I hope it lasts long enough. Perhaps you should just start a go fund me page to Chrysler owners lol. It's a shame because it's a beautiful truck.
July 21, 2015 I had heard a loud high pitch noise originating from the rear of the vehicle. At higher speeds it stopped, but then I was hearing a sound of metal clanking together. I was able to make it to work. I took a look under the vehicle and nothing was visibly wrong. That evening I was driving home, and the vehicle lurched at approximately 40 mph; I pulled into the center lane of traffic, put the vehicle in park, then back to drive and proceeded to drive forward. Within a half of a mile as I was driving approximately 40 mph, the rear axle locked up and I skidded to a screeching halt. Luckily no one was behind me and I avoided an accident. I was unable to get the vehicle to move, so I blocked a lane of traffic until the tow truck showed up. The repair shop I had the vehicle repaired at said that an ear on the parking brake assembly had broken loose and that the assembly actually shattered. They said they had never seen anything like this in all the years they have been repairing cars. They had to get parts from a local Dodge dealership for the repair, and while they were talking to the parts manager at the dealership about my truck the manager stated "this is a common problem; we see it all the time". I believe that this sounds like a safety recall that has the potential to cause serious injury if it were to happen while traveling at a high speed on a freeway with more traffic around.

I received a frantic phone call from my son stating his truck died in the middle of the road. At this time he couldn't start the vehicle and the area was pitch black and he was on a blind curve. My 17 year old son was driving home at approx. 10:00 p. M. On the winding, dark, mountain roads of our community. He was driving his 2007 Dodge ram hemi 5. 7 litre pickup. This pickup has very few miles on it for it's year. As he came into a corner at approximately 40 mph and began to navigate his turn the engine completely stalled leaving him with no brakes, no power steering and no engine. There were no warning lights and he was not able to navigate the turn and could not use the breaks at that point. He was on a dark road at the back side of a blind turn with no power and no brakes. After several minutes he was able to start the vehicle and safely get it off the road. Fortunately there were no cars in the several minutes it took him to restart the vehicle. This is the second occurrence, the first was on a country winding road with less traffic and at a lower rate of speed. As I have researched, it appears that there have been thousands of complaints regarding Dodge / Chrysler 5. 7 engine problems with these exact specifications and circumstances. When are we, the consumers, going to get results? will it be after someone is killed and their family is forced to sue Dodge before they will admit the ongoing problem? as I googled this problem I literally found thousands of forums dedicated to this specific problem and over 100 plus websites from consumers warning others that this could happen to them. I even found fleet mechanics from Dodge chiming in on forums stating that Dodge knows of the issue but refuses to correct it. I am asking that the NHTSA take heed and force Dodge / Chrysler to do the ethical thing and correct this problem before an innocent life is taken.
