Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WHICH I PURCHASED 9/10/05. IT HAS A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES ON IT NOW. I WAS TURNING INTO MY PARKING LOT AT WORK, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP! I WAS JUST SITTING AT THE CURB TRYING TO PUT IT IN REVERSE, OR CONTINUE GOING FORWARD, AND THE ENGINE WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY GEAR I PUT IT IN TO. I TURNED MY ENGINE OFF, RESTARTED IT AND IT "MAGICALLY" STARTED BACK UP AND WORKED. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED IT AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. TO MY DISMAY, THEY STATED THEY'D NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I SUGGESTED REPLACING THE PCM. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT SINCE IT "APPEARED" TO BE WORKING FINE. I'M VERY CONCERED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I'M SCARED TO EVEN CONTINUE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN! *NM
