Vehicle keeps stalling out while driving. I could be doing 60 mph or I could be doing 25 mph. There would be no warning it would just die. Lucky for me I was able to restart the vehicle in a few minutes. I brought it into the dealer 5 times to fix still it isn't running properly. They replaced numerous wires & the crank sensor. This has been going on since 10/07 and as of 1/5/08 problem still occurring. (5 times in total).

The recall that you list on the 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 is not accurate. I called several dealers and the told me that they have nothing on record concerning this issue. Please change your records. This info was found in your web site NHTSA.

Engine spark knock as a result of a bad plenum gasket. Dodge apparently will not fix, unless I come up with $450-$500. I bought the truck used and apparently there was a service bulletin for that particular problem, but I had no idea that it neede to be done. By the way, I bought the truck in Jan of 2003 and the bulletin was released in Feb of 2003. I would have thought that I would have received a notice in the mail, but did not and now I'm on the hook for the repair.
