My 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel pick up truck suddenly loses power and stalls while traveling on highway and entering highway. First occurrence entering highway truck restarted and continued to run. 2nd occurrence next day on highway truck restarted but travelled short distance and stalled again in the road. Towed to dealer. Dealer replaced batteries and battery wiring and truck started, but when test driven by dealer the vehicle continued to stall. Dealer now believes fuel pump or "module" may be cause but is having trouble testing due to manufacturer change in wiring. Dealer reports that Chrysler made a mid year fuel pump "modification" to 2004 models while in production at Chrysler and that while wiring is similar to 2005 year, the color coding used on the modification does not match the 2004 or 2005 color coding. Dealer has requested wiring schematic from Chrysler for the 2004 modification but to date Chrysler has been unable to provide any information. Vehicle is unsafe to operate on road since stalling can occur at any time without warning. Vehicle remains in shop at Chrysler dealer with problem unsolved. All maintenance on this vehicle has been done by Chrysler dealerships. No previous issues with fuel system or stalling.

I was driving down the road at approximate 45mph, when I was on a bank and noticed that the truck was hard to steer, the truck had stalled. The truck started back up, thankfully I have a manual, that I did not have to pull off the road (its hard to control a 3/4 ton truck with no power steering), and could just push the clutch in to start the truck. When I got the truck started, it died on me again, started it up, and drove less than a mile, and died again. I went to the store, on my way home had the same issue, as soon as I would slow, the truck would die, thankfully it only happened once on the way home. Ran it for a little in my driveway, and revved the engine, and it die, three times. Did some research and seems the issue may be faulty fuel control actuator ( or known as mprop).

Truck has the same electrical issues as the recalled newer trucks. It melted the fuse box and the truck wont run. I have replaced the fuse box, computer, all coils, all plugs, all wires, throttle body over 3,000. 00 and the truck still does not run. Only has 81,000 miles on it. It was towed to a Chrysler dealership and towed back out of the dealership because they could not tell us what is wrong with it. After 3,000. 00 of lets try this I can not afford any more lets try this or that. This is a common problem and most people think they broke a valve in the hemi motor. I have run a compression test and this is not the case. My issue is electrical and I don't feel as thou I should have to spend any more money trying to figure it out when the dealership cant. The truck was under warranty the first time it was brought in for an electrical issue. Which they could not find anything wrong, and then it escaladed to the point of not running any longer. Started by melting fuses then melted the fuse box. And who knows what else it took out. When scanned it brings up different codes each and every time. Dealership charges for each and every wrong part that is replaced and then rescanned and they also charge labor for each wrong part replaced. Vehicle was running fine. Driving 2 miles down a dirt road speed of 25mph, vehicle started to miss and just continued to get worse to the point it will not idle. You can not hold a steady fuel pedal and keep it running it stalls. Passenger side airbag is recalled and not available, tie rod assembly is recalled not available a few months ago when I asked at the dealership. I currently own a 2003 2500 hd yard ornament. How can chryslers get away with this?.

My vehicle will stall when I apply the brakes to the vehicle. This in turn causes the vehicle to shut down all power steering and braking. My truck is a fairly large vehicle, and when you start to brake in advance and the vehicle stalls, especially when icy outside its very hard to stop the vehicle. I have reported this to my dealership and brought my vehicle in endless times, it has sat there for several days while their technicians sit around and try to figure what the problem is. . . Everytime their answer is, were not sure because this is the first anyone has ever heard of it. We fixed "whatever" but we don't know what it really it. Everytime I then take the vehicle, it stalls, I've almost killed a pedestrian and rear ended a truck. . . What will it take, someone to get killed before Dodge takes this as a serious safety problem?.

I stopped in a shopping center and shut off the engine. After a short while I tried to start the engine and it would not turn over, it was completely silent. After a short while I was able to restart it. The Dodge people in tucson said nothing was wrong or they could not find any problem. After much research I discovered in old data online there was a bulletin covering "no engine crank or no engine start due to electronic lock-up of the wcm/skreem". This has occurred periodically about every six months requiring me to remove the iod fuse with the key out of the ignition switch waiting thirty seconds and re-installing the iod fuse.

2004 Dodge Ram 2500 hemi stall w/loss of power steering and brakes. My truck was bought new from hood river Dodge, oregon, and has been in for repair because of the engine dying right after accelerating from a stop with loss of power steering and braking. They have had it 9 times starting last April and it has happened 12 times. Most of the time in the middle of an intersection and one on a narrow interstate bridge. There are numerous reports on the web of this happening all across the country with 2004 and some 2005 Dodge ram trucks and some durangos equipped with the hemi engine. Dealer has worked with daimler Chrysler tech's and engineers to no avail. Dealer says it is Chrysler problem and they need to come up with fix. I have contacted the Dodge consumer line, 800-992-1997, 9 times. They prompted me to send in card in " owner's rights under state lemon laws" booklet and I was called on 11/10/05 and told they received the card and would contact me in 7-10 days. I have not been called back so I called 800# again and they said it was in the hands of there zone office, mark hyland, 866-337-7515 ext 3391, where I left a message on 12/22/05. I have also filed 3 NHTSA safety complaints. When I asked the daimler rep named nikki, id 7cs, on 12/22/05 to speak to a supervisor she told me that they did not talk to customers. When I became irate she put me on hold and a man named dante came on and gave me the info about the zone office, what is daimler Chrysler and the NHTSA waiting for people to be injured or killed before reacting? I have left messages twice at the zone office and they will not return my calls.
