“When going slow this vehicle will at times shut off which causes you to loose the brakes and steering. The first time this occurred I was on a 360 degree turn exit ramp and was able to pop the clutch and get it going again. That time the dealership replaced the differental. It has happened again repeatedly causing me to almost run through a bar one time with my son in the truck. The next time I took it to the dealer they told me it was a problem with the computor and that Dodge was workeing to develop a program to solve the problem. …”
