While I was driving 30 MPH on a city street, my truck turned off unexpectedly and disabled the power steering and power braking making it very difficult to maneuver. I did notate the throttle control warning light did come on. This happened to me again in a parking garage while I was leaving, again disabling the power steering and power braking, though I was fortunate enough not to hit any cars while I was turning. My ignition switch 'win' module now acts up occasionally and the truck will turn over for a second, and then immediately turn off. I believe the root cause is the win module. Please reference recall # 11v139000 and 10v200000 as this exactly describes how my truck was in motion and was shut off due to a win module defect.

Truck will start, run, and drive. But while you are driving with no warning it will die, leaving you without power steering and power brakes. Put in neutral and it will start back up. You can't guess when it will die, or how many tries it will take to start again. It doesn't matter if you are in motion, turning, going fast or slow, or stationary. The problem happens in all situations.

Brakes failed approaching a very busy intersection, while trying to slow down from a 55-MPH zone. The pedal went all the way to the floor with no brake response. Luckily, I had the sense to pump the brakes quickly before plowing into the busy intersection! Took the truck to the dodge dealership and was informed after a couple of days that the failure was due to the master boost pump, but they did not have one in stock. Basically, got my truck back a week later and was in shock over the cost to replace about a $125 part (around $500). I noticed that there had been recalls pertaining to problems in this area with previous year models and even 2010 year models, but was informed that my particular VIN# was not affected...think they may need to look into this to avoid someone possibly being killed or killing someone from a similar problem! Could have been catastrophic! At the very minimum, dodge should issue a tsb and should refund $$ for the repair!

I was driving down the road when all of a sudden my front end started to shake violently, I started to slow down but it didn't help until I came to a complete stop . I then heard light grinding coming from my front left side of truck. Before I could make it home witch was about 10 miles, the grinding and loss of steering had got so bad that I was driving 5-10 miles an hour. Barely made it home. The next morning I drove it to the best service shop in town which was 1/2 mile from where I lived and it took them a month and $1700.00 later to repair. Front axle,front bearing,calipers, a new disc and brakes,a front nuckle and drive spindle for the 4 wheel drive.
