Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2002 DODGE DURANGO SPORT WITH 123K MILES. I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN....I.E. POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES, EVERYTHING. DUE TO THE FACT THAT I COULD HARDLY TURN OFF THE ROAD I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY AN 18 WHEELER. I HAD 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME, AND IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST TERRIFYING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE. I HAVE READ ONLINE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, WHICH ARE APPARENTLY THE PCM IS TOO CLOSE THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLES INSTRUMENTS TO SHUT DOWN. I FIND THIS A MAJOR REASON TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. DOES CHRYSLER/DODGE NEED A WHOLE FAMILY TO DIE IN ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES BEFORE THEY DECIDE TO ISSUE A RECALL? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE BEFORE, IF IT HASN'T HAPPENED YET, SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
