I walked in my local dealer office, at 7:30 am, I brought it in for a stall issue at idle speed, coming to light or stop signs. They looked at it and could not duplicate. It only happens in the 20 F or below mornings. I tried Dry gas, higher octane fuel and different service fueling stations. Still every time 20 F and I have a car starter, which I run for about 10 mins every winter morning. I had the service call me and told me nothing wrong, I would have to leave it. I agreed to. But, what are they going to do differently. Note it stalls. They check for errors on the computer and shows none.
The best part is a guy came in 5 min after I did and he has a 2007 1500 5.7 l hemmi, and he has the same issue and they told him same thing. We both have the same issue , but nothings wrong. Thanks Dodge.
This is my 5th dodge truck and I will buy a Nissan or Toyata next. I am all for buying US but with repairs costing so much and gas prices so high.

This problem is pissing me off, the dealer can't do anything because they never see it happen. I have been to the local dealer about six times in 2 1/2 weeks, and I am going nuts. Do mechanics know anything about cars/trucks anymore or do they have to listen to the computers to tell them. Well hopefully someone else out can feel my pain, or if you have any insight for a fix please let me know. Replaced the EGR valve, but it isn't fixed still.

engine cuts off at slow idle, like everyone else with this truck. this problem has gotten me in an accident, but since my problem occurs when it wants to and not all the time, I am at fault. insurance goes, bad points at the DMV etc...
I BELIEVE THAT IF WE ALL AS A GRUOP TAKE THIS TO THE BETTER BIUSNESS BUREAU, WE COULD FIGHT THIS. THATS THE ONLY WAY. I DONT WANT TO HEAR THAT SOMEONE DIED FROM THIS. THE BBB DOES NOT LIKE DANGEROUS VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND WE COULD CONVEINCE THEM THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE TO DANGEROUS TO BE ON THE ROAD. NO BODY WANTS TO RUN INTO A 1/2 TON STANDING STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET.
If anyone believes we can do this, send me contact info. my names Donnie.
P. S. I dont know about you, but I didnt pay 35-40,000 so my truck can stall at intersections.

When will the recall go into effect on the stalling problem when stopping or at idle? Just bought a used 2004 1500 ram 5.7 hemi a month ago and this problem started. The dealer keeps giving me the run around, man did i get screwed!

I have been having problems with my engine surging when I hold the truck at a steady speed. Also when it is first started up and I turn the wheels it will stall. On top of that it will stall waiting at a stop light. It all happened on one tank of gas so I thought it was crappy gas. Turns out that the Computer needed software updates and the EGR replaced. I just got it back today and the truck acts and drives like I just bought it. If you are having these problems take it to your dealership and have them perform the maintenance.

My truck currently has about 66,000 miles, but this problem started at around 30,000 or so. The problem seems to be intermittent in that it doesn't occur every day, but on days that it does happen, it happens 4-5 times a day. Sometimes when I come to a stop at a stop sign or light the brakes will squeal really loud and the engine will die. It starts right back up, but this is a really annoying and potentially dangerous problem. I took it to a Dodge dealer to have it looked at, but the vehicle wasn't giving a code and when they drove it it never happened. I've seen other people with this problem so I'm wondering why Dodge doesn't seem to be looking into this more.
