2 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2014

While slowing down to make a turn, the engine stalled out. This has happened once before approximately 1 month prior. During both instances, I coasted through the turn to a stop but had difficultly steering and braking. Both times the vehicle restarted. I believe in other circumstances this issue may cause a crash situation. I have researched for recalls and bulletins but found none. I have, however, found many online internet complaints about this same or similar problem.

3 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2013

While driving down the road the truck stalled out without any warning. I got it restarted after numerous attempts but the engine would continue to stall upon putting it in gear. Had to have it towed to the Dodge dealership and rent a car from hertz. The dealership has had the truck now for 4 days and still can not tell me what is wrong with it. This truck has a 5. 7-liter v8 hemi engine.
