The truck will start surging between 30 -65 mph and the engine will fail causing loss of brakes and power steering. while idling the engine will rev up to 3000 rpm up and down and will also do this while in drive. while idling at a stop light the truck will surge forward like the gas pedal was pushed to the floor and i have almost hit numerous cars in front of me many different times. i have had the throttle body cleaned and replaced, egr valve replaced, and the electronic throttle control replaced by a dodge dealership. on average, this problem occurs 5-8 times a week. to this day the problem still exists (7/29/2010). *tr
Vehicle is stalling and losing complete loss of power, very hard to steer vehicle. occurs usually at low speeds, while turning or just driving straight. i have to place my vehicle in park & restart my engine. this has happened twice while i was turning in traffic & nearly collided with other vehicles with 3 small children in the car. i have requested for this to be diagnosed and researched several times by mechanics, but the defect has never been duplicated, resulted in a diagnosis, or resolved by a mechanic. it randomly occurs and just occurred again today in traffic, while turning left on an inside lane. i had cars behind and next to me. i had to come to a slow stop, but was unable to turn the wheel enough to remain in my lane, almost causing an accident. i feel this can result in a potentially fatal accident and want to report this immediately. i don't know what to do aside from seeking legal counsel at this point. *tr
