My 2005 dodge ram has been stalling while idiling at stop lights/signs. it was throwing a code of p0115. i have now replaced the throttle body, egr valve, thermostat, ect sensor, and cam sensor . the truck is at the dodge dealers for now 9 days. the service tech are pulling out their hair trying to find the issue. i see that other dodge trucks and cars have the same problem. so why is there not a recall on this item? this is a safety concern. especially when the truck dies while turning i could get hit. i have been dealing with this on my own for the past three months. now the service techs are at their wits end too.

My 05 dodge ram has been stalling in traffic at low speeds regularly of late. it also happened recently while parked for the first time. it ocasionally (1 failure out of 7) gives an error code and check engine light which reads as a bad crank shaft position sensor. i have put 3 on in the last 2 years. it started as intermitent and has become a steady issue. truck has never run hot, no noises from engine to indicate a bad bearing or mis alignement. wheel teeth are not broken or worn and there is not buildup of flakes or shavings anywhere that would be causing a fualty signal. wiring rings out as good. replacing the sensor was allowing normal operation for a short period but it is re-occuring at a faster rate each time. truck does, so far, continue to resart almost imediately but still presents considerable risk in heavy traffic conditions. this was looked at previously and tsb 18-013-05 was released as a "fix." it has not been a successful fix as the issues continue to re-occur with what apears to be a fairly alarming rate. truck currently has 160,750 ...

The truck stalls when slowing for a stop or idling around a corner. that is a safety issue because the steering and brakes are locked up at that point. whether it's idling in a traffic jam, coming to a stop, or idling around the corner, you will suddenly have no power but everything else is on. not the engine and it was so smooth that you don't notice until you can't brake or steer. there are hundreds of people with this year make and model that are having the same problem. i understand there was an investigation but it was closed without resolution. case number ea05018. this is a growing problem and we the people are spending hundreds of dollars to replace parts that are just part of a trouble shooting issue and most of us still have the problem. and it's the same for all of us. please relook at this problem. if i were the only one i could understand but i am not. we love our trucks but this is a serious problem. last night i was in a double turn intersection when it shut off. thankful i was in the outer lane and hit the median ...
