Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving at night going about 60 mph when all systems failed, no engine, no power brakes, no power steering and worst of all, no lights. Engine wouldn't crank, fuse box was making snapping sounds even with key out of ignition. After about 5 min truck started and i was able to drive it home, about 5 miles. Truck ran, but poorly. The next day i attempted to drive it to the dodge dealer, truck did same thing (complete system failure) after driving about 5 miles. I then had truck towed to the dealer. Naturally truck runs fine for service tech, they reset a bunch of codes, but could find nothing definitive. Unable or unwilling to do more. This fills me with absolutely no confidence. In 4 days i need to take this truck pulling a trailer from wa to az for work.
