Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING IN MY APARTMENT COMPLEX AND AS I SLOWED DOWN TO TURN MY TRUCK JUST SHUT OFF. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN. I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE BRAKE FOR IT TO STOP AND I CAN THEN PUT IT INTO PARK AND TURN THE KEY TO TURN IT BACK ON. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN OF THE AGE OF 1 & 2. HAVING THEM IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS NERVE WRECKING. IT'S HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. I HAVE ASKED MECHANICS IN REGARDS TO THIS AND HAVE HAD IT CHECKED AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IT IS. THE PREVIOUS OWNER SAID THAT IT DID THE SAME NOT ALL THE TIME BUT WHEN HE TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALER, THEY COULDN'T TELL HIM WHAT IT WAS EITHER. MY LAST (MOST RECENT) INCIDENT WAS ON 5/10/14 - THE CAR SHUT OFF FOUR TIMES THAT DAY. 2 HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ONE HAPPENED AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO PARK AND ONE HAPPENED WHILE I WAS TURNING AND THE CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURNING LANE WHILE MY FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME. THE OTHER ISSUE I HAVE IS WITH MY FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL MY TANK BECAUSE WHEN I DO ... IT SPITS OUT GAS. ALSO, I'VE HAD TO SWITCH OUT MY IL PRESSURE SWITCH TWICE SINCE FEBRUARY 2014. I HAVE NO IDEA AS TO WHY IT'S DOING THAT. *TR
