Description of the problem	Truck shuts off while driving - i had to stand on the brakes and steering was almost impossible. This happened while attempting to merge onto early morning traffic in i95 in ft lauderdale where everybody is going 70-75 mph. If that truck had hit me, i and several others around me would have died. We were just plain lucky. I had it towed to the dealer and they found nothing wrong. This happened about a dozen times and i kept fixing things which were not broken before i did a little research and found out this truck is famous for this problem. 2 dealers will not even return my calls when i start to discuss this problem. They either know about this problem and do not want to get involved or realize this cannot be fixed. I have to drive this vehicle across florida to bring it back to where i purchased it. My brother is flying down from boston to follow me in case i have trouble. If delaer gives me a negative response i am planning on suing chrysler and the dealer as i really believe they knew about this problem when they sold me the truck there are hundreds of others with the same exact issue with the same exact truck.
