Unknown Will be driving down the road and the truck will shut off. When this happens it also affects the power steering and the power brakes. Has happened at a spotlight and I had to push it thru a busy intersection. Has happened going down the road just at random. No warning. But it does show (No Bus) when this happens but it does not trigger a code or engine light Try to start it and it will not start. Sometime it's only a few minutes up too 1/2 Hour the last time it cut off.

I PURCHASED A USED 2000 DODGE RAM 1500 AND NOTICED THAT MY SUSPENSION ON MY TRUCK IS NOT RIGHT. I EXPERIENCE JERKING UPON BRAKING. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL UPON METAL WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT IS EXTREMELY LOUD ALSO. UNDER MY FOOT WHILE I AM DRIVING I CAN FEEL THE GRINDING NOISE AND OFTEN IT FEELS VERY HOT.

THE LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE WELL ENOUGH TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I KNOW THAT WHEN I SEARCH BY MAKE AND MODEL, THERE ARE 17 RECALLS IN WHICH THE LIGHTS ARE RECALLED, YET MY TRUCK ISN'T SHOWING THE RECALLS BY THE VIN.
