NHTSA Complaint #11204412 — 2013 DODGE DURANGO

I WAS DRIVING AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON, ON THE DASH AND IT IS NOT GIVING OFF ANY CODES. THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF THREE TIMES NOW. THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY, I HAD JUST GOT OFF OF THE HIGHWAY AND BEGAN TO TRAVEL AGAIN. THE TRUCK TURNED OFF WHEN I GOT UP TO AROUND 25-30 MILES PER HOUR. THE SECOND TIME IN MARCH, I HAD STOPPED AND STARTED TO TRAVEL AGAIN AND WAS GOING ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR COMING UP AN UNDERPASS.AND THE THIRD TIME WAS YESTERDAY. I WAS DRIVING UP A CITY STREET GOING ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE SIDE OF ME. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE TRUCK COASTED AND STOPPED. I COULD NOT PRESS THE BRAKE!!!! EACH TIME THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WAS WHEN I WAS COMING OFF OF A STOP AND BRINGING THE VEHICLE BACK UP TO SPEED, EXCEPT YESTERDAY IT SHUT OFF ONCE I WAS UP TO ABOUT 40 MILES PER HOUR. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK AS IF IT HAD NO POWER STEERING AND I COULD NOT PRESS THE BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO WRESTLE THE TRUCK OVER AND RESTART IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I REPORTED IT TO DODGE TODAY AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
