2005 dodge durango goes dead while driving on any type of road doesn't matter if on interstate or dirt road it just dies and you don't even know it as all lights and radio work. Results in lose of ability to steer, breaks, and speed. Have to put the durango in park once it rolls to a stop than cut it off and back on for it to work again. Sometimes it will go 25 miles with out problem at other times 5 feet. No check engine light is on and took to an automotive shop and no codes reading on the diagnostic computer. Stalls while moving on highways, dirt roads, & interstates!

My durango was serviced on 2/23/2018 with regular upkeep stuff like new battery, oil change, ect. About a week later, my rpms would jump and drop while on the highway. On 3/10/2018, I started my car and drove a few blocks and it did just fine, later that evening, I drove about 4 blocks and my engine died. No check engine light, I was able to start right back up and make it about a block before it died again, able to restart it and make it home before my engine died again. I took it to the shop and they told me that no codes could be pulled and that my car was shorting out due to my radiator and water pump. We replaced those and my thermostat and they said it should be fine. Drove the car about 15 miles or less and it died again. So I took it to the next shop and they could not tell me anything because it never died or acted up in their care. So they told me to drive it until it does it again. The [xxx] thing died two blocks away from the shop. The guys at the shop told me to go fill up my gas tank and put fuel injector cleaner in it. I didn't have any problems making it home or to work the next day. I was headed to lunch the next day and it dies before I even leave the work parking lot. I drive home and it dies twice, all able to start right back up. I live maybe 5 minutes away from my job and my gas tank went from full to half a tank just by going to work and home. Today, I left work and made it a couple of blocks from home when it died and would not start back up!! I had to tow my car home. The dodge house says its 150.00 dollars to just pull the car into their bays and when it doesn't show codes or the engine light is not on, they can not do any thing further and send me on my way. They obviously have a problem with this death trap and they need to fix it.

The vehicle starts fine and typically runs fine, but stalls out randomly. This started happening about 8 months ago, and happens about 3 times a week now. Sometimes it stalls on the freeway at 60 MPH and you lose power steering and brakes, but most of the time it happens when decelerating to turn a corner, which is really frustrating as you lose power steering and brakes and has caused me to go off the road or hit curbs if I can't muscle the vehicle through the remainder of the turn. Luckily I haven't been in an accident due to this yet, but it is only a matter of time. The check engine light is not on, and there are no issues with the dash lights and gauges. The dodge dealer says they are not aware of any issues, but online forums show hundreds if not thousands of people having the same issue with this vehicle.
