My truck stalls every once in a while. It's like someone turns the key off. It always starts right back up. It never sets any codes or acheck engine light. I have 23K on my truck. Anyone else experiance this?

My truck does the exact same thing. At a traffic light, the idle will stumble and if I don't put it into neutral quick enough, it will die on me. Last month it died out twice in the same day. I took the truck to the dealer to get it fixed and of course they told me what every other dealer does when they don't know how to fix it. They told me that the could not duplicate the problem and the truck is showing no codes. They told me that they could continue working on it, but it is unfair to other customers that my truck is taking up all of the tech's time.

I don't know why dealers always bring up the "I could not duplicate the problem" speech. I told them what the problem was, why is there any need to duplicate it? Anyway, I have read on the dodge forums that other dakota owners are having the same issue, so hopefully it will get resolved soon.

They must duplicate the problem so they can find the cause. With only you telling the it stalls, their could be many different causes for this. They need a code or duplication to narrow it down. I know, I work at a dealer. We havereplaced several camshaft position sensors on Raiders for simular problems. They put one on my truck the other day. It has not stalled again but it has only been 2 days.The part # is 56041584AE. If they will notput it on under warranty, it is only $18.20.

I was going to say the CPS or something.

are you daft?
do you realize how many THOUSANDS of things could cause a car to "stumble"? if they cannot duplicate it, there is no way to nor is there anything to fix.
you think its so easy to fix, try it yourself.

LMAO ^^^^

Still no problem, I hope this fixed it.

Sorry for being a little p'od at the moment, nonetheless there is no need for that kind of comments here. I think RMUDBUGS explained that in a better manner.

The problem just occurs whenever the truck feels like it so it makes me wonder how would they be able to duplicate it. I brought the truck into the dealer before for the rear dome light not turning on when I opened the door. They told me they could not duplicate the problem. I went to the truck, opened the door and pointed to the rear light. The light was off. I whacked it and it turned on, I closed the door, then opened it and the light was off. If they could not figure that out, then it truly makes me wonder. I was just saying that I am tired of being told that they cannot duplicate the problem. I wish they would tell me what they at least tried to do, that's all.

BTW, today it died 4 times within 2hrs and stumbled almost every time I stopped. I almost got into an accident today while completing a turn when the truck died. No power, no brakes, no steering, almost smashed into another car.

I am going to give this CPS changeout a try and hope for the best. This is getting very irritating and I am disappointed that there has not been an "official" fix for this problem. My friend just bought a Raider 2 weeks ago and he is having the same problem.

The Cam sensor did not fix mine. It stalled to day when I was parking coming back from lunch. Mine doesn't stumble though, it's like someone turns the key off. One second it's running then the next it's not. I had a tech with me and he did not even feel it. The only way I knew was the tac was at 0 rpm's. It only does it at slow speeds when I am costing to a stop. Going to call a Dodge dealer to day and ask about it.

Oh well, now I don't know what to do. The truck is going in next week Thursday to get looked at again. I was going to mention the CPS, but now I just don't know. I figured everytime it dies or stumbles, I'll just call the dealer to let them know. My truck only has 10,800 miles on it but was doing it when I bought the truck new last year.

Ask them to drive it a bit. Note the milage before and after to makes sure the drive it. Ask them to call Tech line and open a case file on it. I hope it gets better for you. Keep us up dated.

I'll be sure to do that. Thanks for the advice.

Mine stalled a couple of days ago pulled up to stop sign and it just shut itself off. One more thing to look forward to. I have never been able to get my alignment or shocks repaired. Wonder if the dealers will just say they are all like that.

Good luck.

Well I talked to our DPSM (District Parts and Service Manager) today and he said to put a crank sensor (part # 56028666AA) in it. So I ordered it and will have it put in next week. I hope this fixes it. I will keep youupdated.

Well the crank sensor did not fix it. I don't know what else to try.

Had a Tech reprogram my PCM with the latest program about 3 weeks ago and it has not stalled sence. Keeping my fingers crossed and I will keep all of you updated.

I apologized for Manybrew.... Bigjosh...

You should his wrath with Akilez..

You have a very complicated problem. Sorry Can't help you.

I think you better off with a High performanceAuto Techaround your area if yourregular Auto Tech can't solve your problem. I prefer High Performance tech because they have machine that can find major problems and they install high performance partsand rebuilt performanceengines. I know they are very hard to find but if you live in California that shouldn't bea problem.

Good Luck

I live in Louisiana and it is under warranty. I'm not spending my money to fix it.
