2004 dodge durango. Consumer states brake failure while driving *tgw the consumer stated the mechanic found a broken valve which caused the brake failure. When the mechanic contacted the nearest chrysler dealership to obtain the part, he was informed the part was no longer being manufactured by chrysler. The mechanic then located a part out of state and had it sent to him, only to find out, the part was not correct due to a certain percentage of 2004 dodge durango's being produced as not having pois-traction. The consumer stated chrysler gave her mechanic the run-around for three weeks.
My 2004 dodge durango (5.7 l) shut off while my husband was driving it. We were making a left hand turn into a parking lot and the truck shut off. He barely missed hitting another car because the steering and the brakes went out. It took 4 tries to get the truck started back up. This has happened to me 2 others times when I was sitting at a red light, thankfully I was not driving. The truck also stalls out everytime there is a heavy rain. The check engine light has not come on so every dealership I've spoken to says that there is nothing that can be done about it, but they are aware there is a problem. I use this truck to drive my children everywhere and I do not understand how this problem has not been addressed.
