Description of the problem	Tamara recall- so on june of 2017 i was driving from texas to colorado. I was at the passing by trinidad, co when the truck just gave out going up the hill. It literally left me stranded in the middle of the hill while cars wer driving by 70 miles an hour. M and m towing towed it to trinidad and they informed me the transfer case was bad and so was the right front drive shaft. I paid 2500 dollars to have that repaired. Well now since september of 2012 the truck keeps giving me problems. It turns off literally while i'm driving making me loose any steering or break power. The heating seats have stopped working, the traction light keeps turning off and on. The light trailer disconnected message is permanently on. The shifter won't move outta park almost everyday when i first start the truck. The truck turns on and immediately shutts off. The remote start only works half of the time. I was just informed the exhaust manifold is cracked and that the rfront differential is bad too. At this point the truck isn't even dribble unless i spend like 5000 in fixing it. Bit how if i'm making 700 payment monthly. The truck is plain and simple falling apart and i have only had it for a year and a half. What worries me the most that it turns completely off without notice or warning while i'm driving with my kids in the truck
