Driving on regular road just turns off and you loose control of steering , brakes and speed, it has happened on highway and lucky it has happened while on right lane. Steering locks down and you are force to use muscle power to get it out of the way. Can I make a lawsuit against the dodge people to fix such problem or should I wait until my wife gets killed or others as it has happened with other durango owners? Replacing the PCM didn't do the job the problem's still happening and now is in the parking lot until it becomes safe.

While backing my dodge durango onto boat ramp to take a jetski out of the water, I lost all brakes and pedal went to the floor. I used the emergency brake to stop from going in the water. After inspecting the brake lines I noticed they rusted all the way thru and caused all fluid to leak out resulting in complete loss of brakes. A repair station estimated 1500 to 2000 to replace brake lines, and said it is common on durangos and dakotas due to bad metal lines from factory. They also said brake lines should not rust out like this and it is a safety issue that could result in fatalities with all the affected models still on the road.

While driving nb on southwest highway in palos the light changed to yellow, then red, I applied the brakes and the vehicle was slowing down as normal. Suddenly the brake pedal hit the floor as if the hydraulics fluid had been let out of the brake system. The ABS and brake light went on and I could hear the anti lock system making noise. I pumped the brakes quickly and car stopped in just enough time to prevent an accident. I pulled to the side of the road and opened the hood to inspect the fluid levels, they were perfect, no leaks either. I restarted the car and the ABS and brake light went out, the brakes do not appear to be working correctly however, I will have a mechanic check them out on friday.

While driving at road speed southbound on nc state road 1922, and approaching a stop sign at the intersection with nc state highway 98, I noticed a sudden and nearly complete loss of braking power accompanied by brake pedal travel to the floor. No visible fluid leakage exists, nor are any diagnostic lights illuminated on the vehicle's dashboard. Replacement of the brake master cylinder was done, and the failure persisted.. The failure is persistent and occurs with every use of the brake pedal. The consequences are greatly increased stopping distance with pedal travel to the floor even under moderate foot pressure. Diagnosis by certified dodge mechanics after consultation with chrysler indicate a failure of the ABS accumulator. Failed part is available for analysis. No additional work has been completed at the time of this filing.
