“I received a frantic phone call from my son stating his truck died in the middle of the road. At this time he couldn't start the vehicle and the area was pitch black and he was on a blind curve. My 17 year old son was driving home at approx. 10:00 p.m. On the winding, dark, mountain roads of our community. He was driving his 2007 Dodge ram hemi 5.7 litre pickup. This pickup has very few miles on it for it's year. As he came into a corner at approximately 40 MPH and began to navigate his turn the engine completely stalled leaving him with no brakes, no power steering and no engine. …”
NHTSA complaint #10451887, filed 2012-03, 83,517 miles“I have a 2007 Dodge RAM 1500 truck with a 5.7 hemi. My truck has 60,500 miles and has been serviced regularly. It randomly stalls(dies) at stop lights, while turning and even when moving forward, thus loosing power steering, brakes and overall control of my truck. I have it in the shop for the 3rd time now, 2 different dealerships and they cannot find the problem and I don't have enough money to let them keep on replacing parts! I searched online for Dodge hemi stalling problems and many complaints have been logged. It's just a matter of time before this problem is going to get someone hurt! …”
NHTSA complaint #10350201, filed 2010-08, 60,500 miles“I own a 2007 Dodge RAM 1500 4.7l qc. Purchased new. I have had numerous incidents where the vehicle has shut off when braking upbruptly to a stop. At times while stopped, the truck idles high and the truck surges forward then shut off completely. I have to put in park and restart the truck. There has been times while in a the middle of a busy intersection when it would die. I have had other cars have to stop or maneuver away from me to avoid collision. It is at the point where I am afraid to drive this in heavy traffic. I have taken to the shop where they said it was a sticky EGR valve. …”
