Your engine is stalling unexpectedly and won't always restart, leaving you stranded. This happened multiple times within days of ownership. Your mechanic identified a failing PMD (Power Module Driver) on your 6.5L diesel engine, which is a known issue on this model. If this happens while driving at highway speeds, you could lose power steering and power brakes, creating a serious safety hazard. The repair will likely involve replacing the PMD unit.
