Description of the problem	I purchased a new dodge ram 2500 pick-up in march 2008. Within 5 weeks, vehicle started operating poorly. Check engine light would come on, truck would lose power, heavy black smoke from exhaust. Truck was brought back to dealership eight times in first six months. Dodge stated they could find no problems with vehicle. Problems continues and escalated. Truck continues to operate erratically. It has come to the point the vehicle loses all power and just shuts down while driving on the highway. This has occurred six times between november 2009 and december 2010. This is a serious safety issue! The truck has lost power and stopped on the iha and i narrowly missed being hit by tractor trailers. Dodge still refused to take this vehicle back or even acknowledge there is a serious safety problem!! Need your help to get dodge to do something to investigate and correct problem before someone is hurt or killed. Updated ivoq 12/06/11
