TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE RAM 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WARNINGS. AFTER BRAKE APPLICATION THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. HOWEVER HE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS REPLACED. AFTER THE REPAIR THE FAILURE RESURFACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, AND A TECHNICIAN REPLACED VARIOUS SWITCHES AND COMPONENTS BECAUSE THEY MELTED. NONE OF THE REPAIRS HAVE REMEDIED THE FAILURE BECAUSE THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND SHE WAS REFERRED TO ANOTHER DEALER.

AT TIMES, WHEN IN DRIVE AND WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO BRAKE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES FORWARD FOR NO REASON REQUIRING MORE PRESSURE ON BRAKE UNTIL ACCELERATION STOPS, BUT NOT BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. THIS COULD BE 3-5 FEET DEPENDING HOW SUDDEN THE ACCELERATION OCCURRED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, WITH THE LAST OCCURRING WHERE I HIT THE FRONT END OF OUR OTHER SUV. THIS SCARES US BECAUSE WHAT IF A PERSON IS IN FRONT OF US, ETC... WE HAVE REPORTED THIS TO OUR DODGE SERVICE AND THEY TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE NO REPORTS OF THIS. THEY ALSO ASKED US IF WE COULD HAVE HAD OUR FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR? TO ME THE WAY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND BRAKE PEDAL IS IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN A AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TYPE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIME PRIOR TO THIS WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT ALSO HAPPENED IN A 2005 DURANGO WE HAD A FEW TIMES. *TR

2007 RAM 1500 4.7 AUTOMATIC. 16000 MILES. FRONT SHOCKS, WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MUCH OF ONE, THERE IS A LOUD SQUEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. COMES FROM BOTH SIDES IN FRONT AND REAR. HAVEN'T BEEN TO DEALER YET. BUT THE WAY THE VEHICLE IS RIDING, I BELIEVE THE SHOCKS IN THE FRONT MAY HAVE GIVEN OUT. DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON IN BACK.
