## Narrative
On October 18, 2023, my son was driving the RAM 1500 on the Southern State.  While changing lanes to exit, he advised the the engine turned off; was not able to break and hit another vehicle. The vehicle was deemed a total loss and would like this to be investigated by Chrysler. This could have caused my son's death.
