NHTSA Complaint #10765203 — 2003 DODGE RAM 1500

INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE 91 FREEWAY IN CA. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE CUT OUT, AND GROUND TO A HALT. I REPEATEDLY TRIED TO RESTART THE TRUCK BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER.I WAS TRAPPED IN THE FAST LANE UNABLE TO MAKE MY WAY TO THE SOFT SHOULDER. FORTUNATELY THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WERE FUNCTIONAL AND I WAS ABLE TO APPLY THESE TO WARN OTHER DRIVERS. EVENTUALLY A TOW TRUCK WAS DEPLOYED TO GET MY OUT OF HARMS WAY. IT WAS A VERY SCARY MOMENT AND I WAS VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO BE HIT. THE FOLLOWING DAY I GOT THE TRUCK TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND THE ONLY THING THEY COULD FIND WRONG WAS A FUSE HAD BLOWN THAT CONTROLLED IGNITION UNLOCK/RUN START FUNCTION. THE GARAGE WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND WHAT WOULD CAUSE SUCH A FAILURE AND NOW I AM RELUCTANT TO TRAVEL ON THE FREEWAY. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
