While driving on interstate to work in morning my truck hit a bump in highway at 65 MPH and shut completely off. I lost steering and brakes. While coasting I shifted the transmission to neutral and re-started the engine and was able to continue. Since then I have had multiple issues at different times. The most recent yesterday september 23rd 2015 while turning onto main avenue as I was accelerating the car completely shut down as I was turning in advance of an on-coming vehicle. Again, I went to neautral and re-ignited the engine. This is a major concern. I do not have heavy keys.

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.

Wife was driving done the rode at about 35 miles and the truck went dead , no power steering or brakes. Pulled it over and it started right up. Brought in to dodge dealership and the replaced something in the computer and said it was fixed. I was driving it on the highway the next day and it died on me crossing the highway, semi truck almost killed me, put it in park and it started right up. Took it to the dealership and they said it was the spark plugs, dished out 225 dollars for that, said its fixed again. Did it again to my wife the next day with my kids in the vehicle. Brought it back in dodge had it for two weeks, know there telling me its the fuse box module at 1400 dollars. Don't know what to do, talking to dealership manager about wife not feeling safe in the vehicle, she said electrical work is hard to find out what's wrong with it. Don't know what to do know, you spend 30,000 plus on a vehicle you would thing they dodge or chrysler would back there vehicles before someone gets killed with this truck.
