Shortly after purchasing the vehicle I was backing up in driveway and the vehicle hesitated, began moving, and then stalled. That same afternoon I was leaving work and the same identical thing happened. I contacted the dealer, and they stated there was a technical service bulletin and to bring it in. I took it to dealer, and they did an update or something. Recently it started hesitating when put in gear and has stalled on several occasions either when being placed in gear or when coming to a stop. It acted like it didn't want to go, then like the transmission was binding, and just before stalling it lunged forward or backwards, depending on direction of travel, before stalling.

I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 5. 7 hemi. We purchased the truck on April 20, 2004 & started having the stalling problem about 2 months ago. I have since taken the truck to the dealership where it was purchased 3 times to have the problem fixed. Each time the dealership has the truck 2 1/2 to 3 days. The truck does not stall while the accelerator is enacted. The rpm gauge will flutter when stopped & then it will drop & the truck will die. Some days the truck will stall only once or twice & other days the truck will stall up to 20 to 30 times. The dealership has replaced the following items: fault code, p0261, replaced pcm for erractic speed sensor signal. R&r pan & replaced trans filter per star 1763 wd94 0. 80. 5094274aa module-powertrain control, 5015267ac filter pkg-powertrain control, 5010884aa sealer, 5 atf bulk - +4.

I own a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 laramie 4x2 with 17000 miles. I purchased it from my local Dodge dealer with 2300 miles on it. Around 15000 miles, my vehicle engine light turned on, and a strong burning odor began to come from the cab. I thought the error was serious, and immediately scheduled an appointment with an appropriate five star Dodge dealer herb gordon Dodge in silver spring, MD. Kevin with the orange team, at herb gordon, verified that one issue with this vehicle is the powertrain control module. Unfortunately, the burning smell cannot be identified at this time. As the vehicle is under warranty, the pcm is currently being replaced. While herb gordon has done an excellent job providing me with service, Dodge has scarred me and encumbered my time. I have had to rent while my vehicle is in the shop, my truck smells really bad inside (due to the burning pcm,) and I really do not trust the safety of my vehicle. Why would a pcm go bad after 17000 miles? is the burning smell going to cause a fire in the future? am I at risk in this vehicle?.
