Description of the problem	We bought this used from a used car dealership. The very next day i noticed while driving the engine just shut off. Couple months later the same thing happened and has continued to happen often. Last week i was driving 45 mph on a highway in the rain and lost all control of the vehicle. The brakes didn't work, the steering didn't work, the entire car shut down, i had a panic attack because i was in traffic and almost caused a huge accident with other vehicles. I put on the hazards and finally was able to drift into a the middle of the road called the turning lane. I called the dealership many times and have only been told "we are sorry". I tried calling a lemon law lawyer but was told, sorry, if the truck was a 2007 then i would have a case. So, now what do i do? I have a 10,000 car loan for a vehicle that i am frightened to drive anywhere. Please help me.
