Description of the problem	This happen to me three times the first time december 2003 two months after i got the vehicle. The second time it happened june 2004, and the third time it happened september 2004. The first time it happened. I was driving down the highway in 4 wheel drive high about 30 to 35 mph when the truck stalled. I had no indication that it stalled except for loss of power steering. The second time this happened i was driving down a gravel road about 35 to 40mph. I was coming up on a curve in the road, and the vehicle stalled again. Again i lost power steering, and came close to going into the ditch with my 1 year old boy. The third time this happened i was stopped at a stop light when the vehicle stalled. I have taken the vehicle in twice for this, and the dealership said the computer in the engine probrably just reset itself, and there is nothing they can do about it. I have written a letter to dodge, and sent it in with their survey after the last incident, and haven't heard back.
