Description of the problem	When slowing down or coming to a stop, the vehicle's engine will turn off and power steering will not work. In order to start the vehicle again, i need to completely stop, put it in park and start the engine. This has happened on the street and freeway. It does not happen constantly. I have had times where it happens 2 days in a row, once a week, and once a month. I have taken the vehicle to a dealer a few times already, but they have not been able figure out what the issue is. After having the vehicle at the dealer for over 1 month, i spoke to a senior technician that works at the dealer and he said it is a known issue. He told me that vehicles with the 5. 7l engine and the push to start button have been having this issue and the issue starts around 30,000 to 50,000 miles and they are not sure what is causing the problem or how to fix it.
