Description of the problem	Recently i was driving my 2006 dodge ram 1500 when suddenly while going over a bridge doing 60mph, the truck engine shuts down and the truck dash engine lights come on. Immediately the truck loses its power steering and brakes. It was all i could to hold it to the road and i was headed into oncoming traffic. I barely escaped with my life and now to make matters worse the dealership told me that the engine had seized up and was ruined (not to mention the 36,000 miles warranty had just expired). The cost of a new motor $7,000 not counting labor. I would also like to add that this was the second dodge ram pick-up that did this same thing. I am filing a law-suit immediately and need help anywhere i can get it. The dealership states it will not cover the repair costs. The truck had 49,000 miles on it... Ruined!!!..
