First, the cruise control stopped working. Then, the speedometer and odometer quit working when the ABS, parking brake, check engine, and traction control lights all came on. Took it to the dealer to repair the instrument cluster recall, and was told that it needs a new ABS control module and wiring harness. The wiring harness is completely melted, probably because of a short in the control module - at least that's what I was told at the dealership. The wiring harness is on a national backorder until late september, so I am without ABS brakes, traction control, and a speedometer/odometer until then.

While driving my 2005 dodge durango, the radio shuts off, the RPM's go to zero (as if the vehicle has lost all power and shutting off), and all of the gauges on the instrument cluster go crazy. Prior to this happening the vehicle was in the shop because of the ABS & brake light kept coming on, and a constant dinging noise (like the sound when a car door is left open with the key in the ignition) we were told there was nothing wrong and that our key chain was to heavy.

2005 dodge durango loss of steering and braking control with low speed mountain driving. This was a rental SUV in awd. I am an experienced winter driver with 35+ years of no accidents. Day one...no problems. Day two...remote driving on two lane plowed centered road...almost hit two elk on the road in the darkness. Day three...about 1 inch of new snow with no apparent traction/control problems (checked hard braking/skidding on the road without problems). The road had not been traveled that morning. I was driving about 20 MPH looking for elk on the long gradual downhill (nearly flat), with right turn at the bottom of the hill. When I turned the wheel to enter the turn, the vehicle went straight (no load on the front wheels). Tried braking without sensation of ABS pulsing and no change to trajectory. We were heading straight into a guardrail with a steep embankment/cliff. Turned the wheel to the right stop and gave it some gas. The durango began to change heading and slid along the guardrail instead of going through it and over the cliff. The rental agent told me about another 2005 durango with 4 (executives) men that drove through a guardrail and down a 60' cliff in march 2005. Originally, the agent thought it was speed related, but then began to wonder after my incident. The thing that doesn't make sense is that there was absolutely no warning that I had lost control in a slow moving vehicle...there was no stability/control feedback to the driver. If the road was icy under the snow, there was no sensation of it to the driver. If it was entirely the road, wouldn't you expect others to follow you into/through the guardrails? I see a trend...at least two 2005 durango's in one year driving downhill on two lane snow covered roads losing control and going straight into guardrails without warning. I suspect a latent stability and control problem in durangos.

While driving 20 MPH on a straight road on11/21/05 during a rain storm the ABS light came on, thjen the air bag light came on, then the brake warning light, then the check engine, and finally all the warning light were on. They would not go off. The car did not stall. After shutting the engine down and restarting a few times all went out except the check engine. It went out a day later.
