Durango SL 5.2L V8

I automatically, google up anything I have that goes wrong, to see what other people have to say. I have had mine die in HEAVY congested areas of traffic, but have always been fortunate to be where I was able to get off the road safely.
Chrysler will have one huge problem on their hands when someone does loose a life. All willing to step forward should let their dealership know we want to speak to a higher representative form Chrysler. They think they have slow sales now, maybe we should all start a web-site that will tell the real story or maybe even get the press involved. I think everyone is tired of hearing about the elections so, maybe they would like something new to harp on? What do you think????

problem #1

Durango SLT 5.9L

  • Automatic transmission

Dodge is absolutely ignoring this issue, and it's time that someone do something. A massive recall of the CPU should be done. The vehicle will stall at any speed, in any traffic, and any time the temperature gets too warm for the CPU. This morning I was only inches from being crushed by an 18 wheeler who was behind me and didn't see me stall.

To get running again, all I need to do is pull the wire harness toward the CPU module and I then hear the relay reset, but it can happen multiple times, and has already caused several severe accidents across the country.

As a result of Dodge's complete lack of interest, I will no longer purchase any vehicles from them or their subsidiaries. If they choose to treat loyal customers so poorly, I will no longer be a customer.

Toyota makes a rock solid vehicle and has better mileage per gallon....hate to say tm but I will be buying foreign from now on!
