Description of the problem	2004 dodge ram. Stalled 3 separate times before dealer could find diagnostic reading to repair in 2005. The last time my truck died on an on ramp in traffic and the dealer had to tow it. Dealer replaced computer. August 2008 6:50am left to take children to school in extremely bad rainy weather. We were several miles up the road from our home and as i slowed to make a right hand turn i heard a loud whining noise and my truck turned off. I could not turn the steering wheel, had no lights , windshield wipers,brakes, nothing. The gear shift would not move to put back in park to try to restart. We had to sit in the road for several minutes before i could put it in park and it started. It was like the key was not in the ignition. The power steering wasn't out, the steering wheel was locked as were the brakes. I called the local dodge dealer at 7:30am and was told to bring the truck in. I took my truck in at 8:30 am and as of 5:11 pm they can not find a code on the trucks computer as before in 2005. This is the 4th time on this same truck that it has shut down while driving and the second time they have had to fix it. I am not sure what they are going to do at this time because they said they can't find a code on the computer and are suggesting i pick it back up and continue to drive it until it does it again. This is a very dangerous situation that should be addressed before someone is injured or killed.
