Consumer Description

MY 2010 DODGE DAKOTA 4DR 4X4 HAS TURNED OFF WHILE ON AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT (PURCHASED USED WITH ABOUT 17,000 MILES) AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING SHOWED/THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I SAID OK, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN. IT JUST SHUTS DOWN, I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN I AM WONDERING WHY I'M SLOWING DOWN WHEN I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THEN NOTICE "O" THE TRUCK TURNED OFF! LUCKY THE 5-6 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE NOT BEEN ON A STRAIGHT PART OF THE ROAD, IT SEEMS TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, I AM NOT SURE IF OTHER ELECTRICAL THINGS LIKE RADIO AND LIGHTS TURN OFF TO, I AM JUST CONCERNED WITH GETTING TO A STOP SAFELY TO START THE TRUCK AGAIN. AND I PUT IT IN PARK ONCE STOPPED AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5-6 TIMES AT LEAST SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE TRUCK ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO (MAYBE 3 YRS AGO). I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THEY JUST DISCOVERED IN OTHER DODGE VEHICLES SIMPLE TO THE CHEVY IGNITION RECALL. *TR
