When driving the truck the vehicle randomly shuts down and I have to pull over or put it in neutral to restart it I believe there might be a problem with the tipm that dodge has had a ongoing problem for years and ignored the issue

The truck randomly shuts off while driving. There is no warning and no pattern. There are no error codes associated with these occurrences. When truck shuts off there is no power steering and it becomes difficult to steer. A quick check online shows hundreds of people with the same issue and no specific fix.

The truck has a issue when starting up. It feels like the truck is not getting fuel, giving a high RPM and a feel like the engine is going to cut off and it does. This also happens when taking off at a stop light, going around a curve, and starting to move the truck. I have been to dealer and like always, can't find wrong in truck. I have replaced crank, map, air, speed, tps and nothing works. I also replaced O2 sensor, plugs, coil packs, battery, air filter, replaced throttle body, and purge. Nothing works. Why doesn't Dodge see there is a issue and find a solution. There are many Dodge Ram with this issue. If Dodge wants people to buy there truck then help fix the issues with the other Dodge Ram's. oh I also called Dodge Corp and of course they haven't heard of any issue. That I can't go by!!!
