Purchased truck on 3/4/2021.with 21 miles on the odometer. On 3/11/2021 was driving on the freeway doing 65mph. In the center of a 3 lane highway when the engine shut off without warning and a dash signaled a warning "service electronic throttle control" appeared on the dash, I made it off the freeway without incident and was eventually able to restart the truck and took it back to the dealer who as of today 4/06/2021 not found the issue that caused the engine to shut down, and has not duplicated the issue after driving it more than 700 miles. They were instructed to replace parts without properly diagnosing the problem by the technical advisor for chrysler star division who has been advising the dealership master service technician on what to inspect and test without any ability to duplicate the problem. Additional information was recorded on the truck to try and identify any possible cause of failure without success. Dealership service department has kept records and fault codes, and I have every reason to believe this issue is not resolved and that it will happen again, without warning, and possibly at the risk of endangering the lives of all vehicle occupants as well as others outside of the vehicle. I have documentation but the files are unable to be uploaded due to their file size. Copies can be made available upon request.

I purchased my 2021 ram 1500 limited night edition on march 11, 2021. It was new. Within 3 weeks and less than 1,000 miles of driving the vehicle stalled twice while in the middle of an intersection. The fuel tank was full and the engine was warm each time. The first time around march 17 I was alone in the car. I stopped at a stop sign and then depressed the gas pedal and as I turned to the right the car stalled. No error message came up. I stopped the car. Turned the gear shift knob to p and pressed the start/stop button twice and the truck started back up. 10 days later with my family in the car the same thing happened. I was at a stop sign, then pressed on the gas and made a left turn this time and the car stalled. Again, fortunately no one was coming because my family and I could have been seriously injured or killed because we were in the middle of the road and someone could have t-boned us. The car has been with the dealer for a week and they tell me they have not been able to discover anything. There were no error messages and they have not reproduced the problem. I am writing to put this on the record in case anything happens to us.
