Description of the problem	Shortly after buying this pickup it would stall, the dash had an red electrical indicator exposed. The power steering shut down, the brakes were no longer power brakes.. This happened at speeds up to 45 miles an hour. Never happened at high speeds. I live & drive on mountain highways, and at times it took my breath. I would apply the gas pedal, it would eventually begin running again. No matter the time of year. It wasn't every day, maybe go along 2-3 months not happens, but it might happen every day for a couple of days. I took the pickup to town & country dealer in alamosa co. Twice, they would drive it. The explained to fix it, they would need to see it happen. I decided to drive it. However, today i have to rely on other people to drive it, and i worry now about there safety. I decided to take a trip in september of this year, and i have a friend driving for me. So i decided to research the web on this problem , finding there were several cases of this happening to doge pickups. One fellow was driving 80 miles an hour in the "fast lane", his stalled. He recommended that if you've had this happen to notify your state attorney general. I did, they ask i file it with you. I'm not angry with my dealer, other than the fact they ask me to notify chrysler, and i told the they should represent me as their customer with the company. I'm 77 years old, been driving over 60 years. I've never hurt another person in a wreck, but this pickup is dangerous. I could trade it in, but that isn't a christian type thing to do to another party. It's a dilemma that i have no answer for. If it were only this pickup it would be different. It's the only mode of transportation that i currently have. My driving is generally over these mountain roads, to pueblo, colorado springs, maybe denver. Chrysler corporation needs to understand the threat this pickup is over these highways. Help me
