I WAS DRIVING MY 05 DODGE DURANGO WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD IN HIS CARSEAT IN THE BACKSEAT AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT, WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT THE ENGINE STALLED (SHUT OFF) CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. COASTED INTO A PARKING STALL AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. VERY UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY VERY COMMON IN THIS YEAR,MAKE, AND MODEL. *TR

THE CAR (DODGE DURANGO 05) TOTALLY DIES AT ANY RANDOM TIME, THE STEERING LOCKS AND EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH OR TWO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN TOWN. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET HIT LAST WEEK FROM BEHIND..I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR TO WARN TRAFFIC COMING OFF A HILL TOWARDS MY DEAD CAR, THAT I WAS DISTRESSED AND TO GO AROUND.....WE PURCHASED THIS CAR 3 1/2 MONTHS AGO. TOOK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND HAD THEM GO THRU IT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND DROVE IT...I CAN NO LONGER FEELS SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

WHILE COMMUTING THIS MORNING TO WORK, I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, AS I STARTED TO BRAKE, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AT THAT POINT I REALIZED MY ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF AND I HAD LOST MY POWER BRAKES/POWER STEERING. AS THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST WITH NO WARNING - AS IT DID THIS TIME, I KNEW I COULD PUT MY ENGINE INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-START MY ENGINE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN ANY SORT OF SERIOUS TRAFFIC AND HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO GET MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE PAST WITH DODGE AND HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR
