OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR AFTER A STORM AND OBSERVED STANDING WATER IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. TRIED TO START BUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. (DAILY DRIVER W BATTERY @ 1YR OLD). PLACED BATTERY ON A CHARGER AND WAS ABLE TO START MOTOR. ENGINE WAS REVING BETWEEN IDLE AND 1500 RPM RAPIDLY AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUTS.

LOOKED FOR THE SOURCE OF THE WATER, AND IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM AROUND THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT PILLAR AREA AND LEAKING DOWN THE INSIDE KICK PANEL.

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE MOST RECENT & SEVERE TIME WAS YESTERDAY, I WAS AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH ON 695 WHEN MY DURANGO SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING A ACCIDENT. MY DODGE WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING OR INDICATION BUT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING AT LEAST 4-6 TIMES A WEEK WHILE DRIVING.

ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO 4LO LIGHT STARTED FLASHING THEN WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF I CAN HEAR SHIFTING INTO AND OUT OF 4WD. HAD IT CHECKED FOR CODES AND THEY FOUND NONE. NOW AS I WAS DRIVING IT LOCKED INTO 4LO VEHICLE MADE A POPPING SOUND AND STALLED.RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP BUT NOW I CAN'T DRIVE THIS CAR DUE TO FEAR OF IT DOING THIS AGAIN.
