2005 DODGE RAM 2500 Complaints

WHEN SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE (AUTO TRANS) ENGINE STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED UPON FOUR SEPERATE OCCASIONS.

I HAVE AN 05 RAM 2500 QUAD CAB HEMI TRUCK WITH 3,200 MILES ON IT. SINCE NEW THE TRUCK HAS HAD AN ERRATIC IDLE AND WOULD OCCASIONALLY DIE WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. THE PCM HAS BEEN FLASHED, THE THROTTLE BODY IS PROJECTED TO BE REPLACED NEXT. THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AS THE TRUCK RECENTLY STALLED IN TRAFFIC THREE TIMES IN A TEN MINUTE PERIOD. I WILL ALSO BE FILLING A SIMILAR COMPLAINT FOR MY 05 HEMI DURANGO LIMITED.

STALLING. UPON READING THE AP ARTICLE ABOUT DODGE RAM 1500 STALLING I WAS COMPELLED TO WRITE TO ADD THE SAME INCIDENCE OCCURRING IN THE HEMIS. (WE HAVE A 2005 2500 SERIES HEMI). IF YOU SEARCH UNDER "DODGE HEMI STALLING" YOU WILL FIND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS DOCUMENTING INCIDENTS COVERING SEVERAL YEARS AND DODGE'S FLASH SOLUTION. OUR BRAND NEW TRUCK SAT IN THEIR SHOP FOR 6 WEEKS AWAITING THE RELEASE OF THE LATEST FLASH TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD NO REOCCURRANCE OF STALLING PROBLEMS SINCE THE FLASH, BUT HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL DODGE HEMI OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.

DT: WITH THE CAR RUNNING, THE GEAR WENT OUT OF PARK. WITHOUT WARNING THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK WITH BRAKES IS SATISFIED AND ALLOWS THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR. THE CONSUMER HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. MANUFACTURER COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. PARKING INTERLOCK LOGIC IS FAULTY. TRUCK IS A RAM 2500 QUAD CAB 4X4.

BACK END OF 05 DODGE RAM 1500 SLID ON WET PAVEMENT AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH. WHEN BACK END HIT CURB, AXLE SNAPPED WHERE WHEEL AND AXLE MEET. GIVEN EVENTS, THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AS A DEFECT-AXLE SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN IN THIS CONDITION. DEALERSHIP CLAIMED IT UNDER MY INSURANCE-WOULD NOT EVEN CONSIDER WARRANTY.

PURCHASED 3/4 TON PUCK-UP TRUCK. THE HEMI ENGINE HAS A NOISY VALVE TRAIN. THE DEALERSHIP PLACED NEW HEADS ON THE ENGINE PER THE NEW DODGE SERVICE BULLETIN AFTER 7,000 MILES. WITH THE NEW HEADS ON THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE AMOUNT OF NOISE THE ENGINE MADE. THE SERVICE BULLITEN INDICATES A CLEARANCE ISSUE REGARDING THE VALVE DIAMETER. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES REGARDING THIS ISSUE.*AK
