Consumer Description

SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, IT HAS SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. 1ST: I WAS STOPPED AT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION AND IT SHUT OFF, 2ND IT SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPING IN THE MEDIAN GETTING READY TO TURN INTO WORK, 3RD: I WAS SLOWING DOWN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT SHUT OFF AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A STOP SIGN SINCE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. 4TH: I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND IT SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR 2 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN. THERE HAS BEEN NO INDICATION THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAYS OR VERY HIGHLY TRAVELED ROAD WAYS. EACH TIME, I HAVE HAD TO STOP AND RESTART THIS TRUCK. ONCE IT THREW A RANDOM MISFIRE CODE, BUT HAS NOT HAD A CODE SINCE. WE HAVE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND THE 02 SENOR, BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. 90+ PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST WRECKING. THAT IS HOW I FOUND THIS SITE. THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLED IN THE UTMOST URGENCY. THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE AND IT WORRIES ME EACH TIME I HAVE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OR HAVE MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THE TRUCK. THIS PUTS EVERYONE'S LIVES AT RISK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR TO EVEN TRADE THIS ONE IN ON SOMETHING. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SPEND GUESSING AT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK.. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. DODGE PAYING TO FIX THIS IS A LOT BETTER THEN PAYING SOMEONE'S FAMILY THAT HAS BEEN BADLY HURT OR KILLED BY SOMEONE TRYING TO OVERLOOK THIS.
