Description of the problem	Extreme safety hazard - vehicle is dangerous!!! We purchased a 2007 dodge diesel 6. 7 liter engine megacab truck 14 months ago, and almost immediately the check engine light began showing on the error message board, along with messages about the particulate filter. We have brought the vehicle in for repairs at least 5 times since then with two total replacements of the pollution control system. The last one took over three weeks apparently because the parts were on backorder. We only put 250 miles on the truck since that time, and were driving over a high mountain pass (7000 feet elevation), when catastrophic failure occurred. I was driving down the pass and my foot was on the accelerator when the engine totally cut out. I was going about 50 miles per hour and only had a few seconds to brake hard before the brakes and steering failed to respond. No warning lights or error messages were showing on the dashboard. It was only because we were near a deep gravelly/sandy shoulder area that the truck stopped. We had the truck towed to the nearest dodge dealer in missoula, mt (litia). Their mechanics say they do not find anything wrong. I have informed them that we will pursue the lemon law buy back from chrysler on this vehicle. An internet search shows that this is a problem that is happening around the nation. Please expedite this report to inform people of the very dangerous situation with these vehicles and make chrysler recall them before fatalities add up!!!!!!
