Just bought this vehicle, the ABS and brake light is on, contacted seller and he stated it was not on when he sold it to me. I took to auto zone for them to run the needed scan on it. It showed rear wheel sensor. So, I took it to my mechanic. He then ran 3 different code scans on it and it came up with nothing. So, unfortunately he can't fix it without a code. Unless I want to thro more money into it just to start replace ikng things that maybe may not be the problem. Now the check engine light is on. Upon reading others with the same problem, I feel there is a faulty something in there that needs to be figured out and recalled. I pray to god, my brakes dont go out while I am driving with my kids in the vehicle. I am a single parent and cannot afford to just go out and buy another vehicle. Figure out the problem and get it recalled and fixed, please!

ABS light or ABS activating by model year
What owners say
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!
Ecm shuts my durango off while driving due to heat from engine. Very scary and dangerous. I was driving on the highway from my sons football game when out of nowhere I lose all power and my steering wheel locks up, just barely was I able to avoid causing a multiple vehicle pileup also ABS pops up for most of the time.
Abs light and break light come on after rolling down the road there is a lot of people complaining about this I would like to know is this could be a recall on this
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.
Vehicle shuts down without warning also losing power steering,brakes etc. May or may not start after 15 minutes or so. Have had grandkids with me on 2 separate occasions,one being sitting in 90 degree heat for over an hour and vehicle wouldnt start, waiting on tow. Another time vehicle shut down and had to jump lanes and coast to get to side road to stop. Very, very dangerous situations many times! Havent drove it since. Sitting in driveway around 3 months. Abs has also gone out.
