Description of the problem	This was my fathers truck. I was out of the country when he purchased it. Upon his death, i began driving the truck. It was still brand new, by approximately 7 months. In one instance i was driving in saticoy, south on the 118 before going over the bridge. As i got a yellow light, i slowed down and the truck eventually stalled and had no ability to steer. I was in the truck, with my mother, at an intersection and had to immediately restart the vehicle because our lives were in danger due to traffic. Upon restarting the vehicle, i resumed to my destination. On another occasion i arrived to who is now my sister in laws house, located in simon way. In that evening it was my turn to drive to oxnard college. As i pulled out of her driveway, the truck again stalled. I had to restart it again and decided that we would go to school in her vehicle. These two incidences are just a couple of many bad early on experiences with the 2005 dodge ram truck i had and would go to you guys and complain, and you guys never did anything about it because nothing ever resulted in your diagnostic and would happen to you guys when on one occasion the vehicle was in your possession. Attached see exhibit 1 which shows of a vehicle rental on 12/06/06 when the dodge truck was in your possession. I precisely recall why i had the stratus rental and it was because crown dodge had my truck, trying to figure out what was wrong with it. Crown dodge was billed for the rental. Well, crown dodge inspected the truck, but the problem continued. Exhibit 2 demonstrates another time that i complained because of the same problem with the vehicle. To date, the dodge ram truck 1500 continues to stall. My husband uses this vehicle to drive to work. At times he uses this vehicle to take our children out and i am always concerned because of this.
