NHTSA Complaint #10534030 — 2006 DODGE RAM 1500

I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 64 E NEAR WILLIAMSBURG SPEED LIMIT ON THE HIGHWAY IS 70 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT AT WHICH TRUCK TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. NO HARD IDLING, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON JUST TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN. POWER STEERING WAS LOST ALONG WITH THE BRAKES AND COULD NOT CONTROL THE TRUCK. HAD TO LET IT GO AS IT UNTIL I IMPACTED IN A DITCH CAUSING THE TIRE TO COME OFF THE WHEEL WELL, DAMAGE TO THE UNDERCARRIAGE AND FRONT DRIVER SIDE BUMPER. THE TRUCK IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO IT SHUTTING OFF AND NOW STEERS TO THE LEFT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ALL DODGE RAMS 2006-2011 HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE BUT DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD OF RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF LIFE IF IT WASN'T BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF SOFT MULCH THAT BRACED MY IMPACT. I AM IN THE MILITARY SERVING ACTIVE DUTY AND HAVE COME HOME DEPLOYMENT AFTER DEPLOYMENT AND TO HAVE IT ALL END BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VEHICLE. *TR
