Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 20 MY DURANGO BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO STOP. CRUISE CONTROLWAS NOT ON. I HAD TO RIDE BRAKE HARD TO GET OFF INTERSTATE, AND I HAD TO PUT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO STOP,. MY REAR WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN, AND ONLY WAY I WAS ABLE TO STOP VEHICLE WAS TO SHUT ENGINE OFF WITH KEYS. I HAD BOTH MY CHILDREN (AGES 2 AND 4)WITH ME AT THE TIME AND WE WERE LUCKY NOT TO BE INJURED OR KILLED. WE TOOK DURANGO IN TO DEALERSHIP LISTED IN THIS REPORT, AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A FLUKE AND T HAT MANUFACTURER HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM WITH ANY OTHER DURANGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING NUMEROUS TIMES TO OTHER DRIVERS. ONE INSTANCE MADE THE NEWS AS THE POLICE THOUGHT THE DRIVER OF RTHE DURANGO WAS TRYING TO OUT RUN THEM. PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF YOU HAVE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING TO ANYONE ELSE AND ADVISE ME OF WHAT MY NEXT STEP IS. *AK
