Hey I've got a 2011 dodge ram 1500 5.7 l hemi I've noticed the last couple of weeks a problem. I live in the mountains of nc on some very curvy roads when going around a curve and hitting the brakes at the same time the truck shuts off the lights radio ect stay off it just acks like it dies. I can stick it in neutral and start it back up. but you can understand my concern driving down a curvy road and your power steering and brakes go out its kind of dangerous. looking to see if anybody has had this trouble or what you all think it could be I've done some research and people are saying everything from a ground wire to throttle positioning sensor to an vacuum leak. any ideas?

sorry if irs alot of infc this is my first post on this forum.

 

did you check your battery connections? also your belt and idler pulley?

 

I have tightened the battery connections. I didn't think about the idle pull or belt but I have tried leaving it in park turning the wheel and pumping the brakes and it seems to be fine when doing that

 

Hi Justinhull,

Sorry to hear about this! If you decide to visit your local dealership I'd be happy to follow up with them for you if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know.
