NHTSA Complaint #10544610 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE AS WELL AS 2 OPEN AND CLOSED INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS WEBSITE! WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IT WILL SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, STEERING IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT. IT USE TO HAPPEN A LOT TO ME. NORMALLY IT WOULD ALWAYS HAPPEN PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. BUT I LIVE IN RURAL WV AND WE HAVE MOUNTAINS AND CURVY ROADS. ONCE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30-35 MPH AND I WAS ON A CURVY ROAD AND IT STALLED OUT ON ME AND I ABOUT WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN AS I COULD NOT STEER! WE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OVER AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. ULTIMATELY HAVE THE MECHANIC PLAYED THE GUESSING GAME, HE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND THAT HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. JUST RECENTLY IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED! MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. MY DURANGO HAS 3 VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH LOTS OF OTHER FOLKS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED: 1. THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 2. THE FUEL LEAKING OUT AS YOU ARE FILLING IT WAS GAS! THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT. 3. 4 LOCK KICKS IN ON ITS OWN AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND RECALL. I LOVE MY DURANGO AND I HAVE HAD IT FOR 6 YEARS AS I BOUGHT IT USED AND I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I WOULD LOVE FOR DODGE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. AS I DO NOT WANT TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR
