Abs parking brake light on. No code comes through scanner. Transmission drags and shifts improperly throughout. During slippery snow conditions not able to brake with ABS is very dangerous for my family and others on the road. There are many reviews regarding this issue with the dodge durango and this should be a very important matter due to all the dodge durangoso on the road. I have been to a couple mechanics that don't exactly know what the actual problem is and that is not ok. Safety first!

Abs & brake lights illuminated and speedometer works sporadically - I just purchased my vehicle but was told by previous owner that the ABS & brake lights have been on for some time and a continuous problem. Both the ABS & brake lights are illuminated and the speedometer works sporadically. After searching the internet for repair options, I have found that several thousand people have the same issue. I am told it is one of two issues: wheel and/or transmission sensors and/or ABS control module. I feel this should be a recall by daimler chrysler as there are way too many complaints & issues with the same thing.

1) events leading up to the failure? None. Engine failure occurs without warning. 2) the engine failure occurs totally randomly, with no perceivable indication prior. It has happened at stop signs, in parking lots, and on roadways. Were this to happen on a highway or a bridge or a steep hill, the outcome could very easily be fatal! 3) failure does not get recorded by onboard computer; hence, mechanic is unable to troubleshoot the error and fix it. To date, I have read that the car's PCM (power control module) is at fault.
