My 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 is having problems with its vp-44 engine pump. It gets a "dead pedal" and in traffic it suddenly stops. There isn't anything you can do but pull over until it comes back on. This isn't a good thing in heavy traffic, especially on a 4 line road in the left lane. This almost caused an accident with a speeding semi (he almost rear ended me!).
Tl-the contact owns a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500. While the contact was driving approximately 70 mph, suddenly there was a complete loss of the engine power. The ignition was turned off and the battery cables were disconnected. After waiting ten minutes, the battery cables were reconnected and the vehicle resumed as normal. The erratic failure occurred fifteen times. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Js.
