While driving on an interstate highway at 65 miles per hour the engine shut down and I pulled off onto the shoulder. After sitting for about 5 minutes I tried the ignition key and the engine started and I continued on my way.

When I shift automatic transmission into gear it makes a ticking noise and also when I turn they're always kind of a thump feel to the entire vehicle. I also can take my key out of ignition no matter if its in drive, par, reverse etc...

Beginning in april 2012 it was extremely hard to get gear shift out of park you had to attempt this several times this occurred every so often there was no significant routine. We took this to dodge in gainesville several different trips and it would not repeat the problem for them. Starting around december of 2014 the vehicle would come out of park all by itself while parked and with the vehicle off then we would have trouble getting the key out or the vehicle back into park. This happens constantly and we are now scared to drive it. I called chrysler and they said there was a recall of this nature but not on my vehicle. I find this hard to accept considering it is doing the exact same failure of other durango's from this manufacture date. Please respond and let me know if I should junk my only vehicle or get a second mortgage to have repaired. On a second request I also had a windshield wiper motor replaced and was charged apparently there was a recall on that but gainesville dodge doesn't cover recalls ? Is this normal or are the dishonest.
