Dakota LX 4.7L V8

I'm disabled so i do not drive my 2005 Dodge Dakota all that much so that is why there is so few miles on my truck but I have taken my truck to the Dealership 3 times over this same issue. The First time all they did was turned the rear drums and of course that did not solve the issue, The 2nd time the turned and replaced the front rotors and pads, That did not solve the issue. Then the driver side front brake started to lock up on me while driving it. It would tighten up the more it was used having to apply alot of the gas peddle just to get home. It was a good thing that it always happened close to home. After a Day of cooling off it would drive normal once again until a week or two later again. I took it in to the Dealership, They Replaced the Rotors and Pads and It Solved the Vibration Problem that i was having during Braking also. Now if i can Only get them to Fix my Stalling Issue that I'm having with my truck i'll be set.

We leased this truck. It had an annoying shake in the front end upon applying the brakes. It is especially severe on a curve turn as you slow down around a bend. The Dodge dealership cannot find a problem. I lease the truck and am annoyed that I must finish my lease WITH THIS PROBLEM!! It feels unsafe and is definitely annoying.
