Description of the problem	I received a frantic phone call from my son stating his truck died in the middle of the road. At this time he couldn't start the vehicle and the area was pitch black and he was on a blind curve. My 17 year old son was driving home at approx. 10:00 p. M. On the winding, dark, mountain roads of our community. He was driving his 2007 dodge ram hemi 5. 7 litre pickup. This pickup has very few miles on it for it's year. As he came into a corner at approximately 40 mph and began to navigate his turn the engine completely stalled leaving him with no brakes, no power steering and no engine. There were no warning lights and he was not able to navigate the turn and could not use the breaks at that point. He was on a dark road at the back side of a blind turn with no power and no brakes. After several minutes he was able to start the vehicle and safely get it off the road. Fortunately there were no cars in the several minutes it took him to restart the vehicle. This is the second occurrence, the first was on a country winding road with less traffic and at a lower rate of speed. As i have researched, it appears that there have been thousands of complaints regarding dodge / chrysler 5. 7 engine problems with these exact specifications and circumstances. When are we, the consumers, going to get results? Will it be after someone is killed and their family is forced to sue dodge before they will admit the ongoing problem? As i googled this problem i literally found thousands of forums dedicated to this specific problem and over 100 plus websites from consumers warning others that this could happen to them. I even found fleet mechanics from dodge chiming in on forums stating that dodge knows of the issue but refuses to correct it. I am asking that the nhtsa take heed and force dodge / chrysler to do the ethical thing and correct this problem before an innocent life is taken.
