Two problems related to engine shut off without warning have been reported for the 2004 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Truck dies while driving and makes it extremely hard to steer ! seems to be some sort of fuel problem ! this has been ongoing for several years and I don't trust it to attempt to drive in traffic to a dealer for repairs ! the truck currently has approx. 87,000 original miles on it ! problem seem to start shortly after last dealer visit in 2008 for replacement of a/c ducting under dash ! dealer shut down right after our president took office, as did many of the local Dodge dealers ! to me, it acts as if the fuel just shuts off. Hard to restart or steer - definitely a safety hazard ! while surfing the internet for like complaints, most all complaints of the same nature, say that Dodge is aware of the problem and will do nothing ! I'm a 100 % service connected double amputee, and need this vehicle for transportation and travel to the va hospital 45 miles away from where I live ! I can't afford another vehicle at this time.
I purchased a Dodge durango in Nov of 2004 brand new with only 42 miles on it. Since that date I have had it back to the shop where I purchased it 6 times. It would not start and had to be jump started for over a month, and now it just decided that if it wants to shut off no matter where it is or how fast it is going it just shuts off. I have returned it to the dealer ship and have not gotten a bit of help. I walk a way with the felling that I am the laughing stock of the dealership.
