While driving my truck straight down remembrance road (secondary highway) it stalled, loosing power steering and power brakes. i was traveling at a speed of approx 45 mph with no turns, coasted to the shoulder put in park and restarted luckily there was no other traffic. truck restarted and i proceeded home. i parked the truck all seemed fine. went out the next day and truck would not crank. battery load checked ok, if i jump the starter relay @ pin 30 to 87 truck will crank. when key is turned on the dash lights come on along with radio, headlights, and blower for heat/air. this truck only has 56,000 miles on it and has been very well taken care of by me. it should be noted the gas gauge did not move when ignition key was turned on even though it had half a tank, it worked fine when i parked it. i have searched on line for this stall condition for my 2005 ram 1500 4.7l 4x4. it appears to happen alot if you search this condition on line with other dodge vehicles also and is very dangerous, what if i had been on the freeway doing 70 ...

There have been 5 recalls on my dodge ram. the airbags may rupture in 2015, the rear axle pinion nut may loosen at the differential (powertrain) in 2014, again the airbags inflator may rupture in 2014, the wheel hub assembly (wheels) in 2010, also a recall for the after market replacement pitman arms (steering) in 2010. i have gone to my chrysler dealer in las cruces, new mexico; the dodge dealer has been closed for a few years now. i have been told i have to have a notification from chrysler/dodge to have them just to take a look at it, much less fix the problems. now there is a huge recall; this is now really gotten serious. please help me as much as you can to take care of the malfunctions on my dodge ram as soon as possible. i have not taken the dodge on long distance road trips for the past couple of years now. the failed components listed below do not show all the malfunctions i have listed above.

The frame on my dodge ram has broken welds on both sides of the frame where the lower control arms mount to the frame. they have failed due to manufacturing defects during the welding process. the truck has never been wrecked, driven off road, or done any towing. dodge refuses any assistance in replacing the frame because it has aged out of their warranty. the truck has 74,138 miles on it and is not drivable without a new frame. i had the truck in twice under warranty service for drivability issues under braking and steering over bumps. neither time were the cracks in the frame found or addressed. every time the brakes are applied, the steering wheel shakes uncontrollably and is unsafe to drive. i found the damage while changing the oil and was about to replace the frt hub bearing assembly on the passenger side since the driver's side had already failed and had been replaced earlier. contacted chrysler and was told that my truck had aged out of warranty, but that taking it to a dealer they would be able to find a technical service bulletin that may cover it. i googled tsb's and found one on ...

In march 2015 i received a letter stating that my truck had a recall involving the rear axle. as soon as i received this notice, i stopped driving my truck. in addition, while searching my vin # on your site, i found that my truck had another recall. this recall involves the air bags. my truck is my family's only means of transportation. since i don't have another vehicle, i have been forced to borrow my parents and siblings vehicles. i even have been forced to take the bus. i feel that these recalls should have been resolved already. is there anything that can be done to help me with this situation? i do not feel comfortable driving my family or myself around in this vehicle. it is not safe. thank you.

At approximately 35 mph my driveline dislodged from my rear differential and locked up the wheels (differential.). the road was a popular well maintained paved road. fortunately no cars or pedestrians were close by and speed was relatively low, otherwise this could have ended with serious injury or fatality. in addition to the recent incident with the differential, i have experienced other issues with this ram: -new engine after cracking both heads while driving down the freeway (it gets serviced regularly and doesn't tow often). -idle has sudden surges at a stop. -transmission skipping gears. *tr
