Just left my home not driving more than 30 MPH when the engine light came on and I lost complete power. Was towed to the dealer where I purchased it and they did a "PCM reflash with an instrument panel software update" they also replaced the cluster. Now 2 and half months later, I haved moved out of state and once again just leaving my house not going above 30 MPH and the same thing happens again. Engine light comes on and I lose power, I was barely able to turn the wheel enough to get the vehicle on the side of the road. I was able to start the car again within a couple minutes and safely return home (it was dark), however the engine light was still on and it felt as though it would loose power again, like I was driving with the parking brake on. Also on my drive here from california (to indiana) I lost my cruise control. This second incident happend tonight and will have to be towed to dodge dealer tomorrow.

During times of low temperatures (below 40 degrees) the following occurs intermittently. The radio controls on the steering wheel do not work properly, the radio volume spontaneously goes down, the headlights and dash lights flash off and on, the windshield wipers will come on, the indicator lights for the airbag indicate the airbag is not activated. I am sure there are more glitches; however these are the ones that stand out. This morning, however, the cruise control would not stop accelerating the vehicle. The outside temperature is approximately 22 degrees. I set the cruise for 75, when I reviewed the speed, the vehicle had accelerated to 95 and the cruise would not shut off either by the cruise control controls or by braking. In fact the brakes had difficulty slowing the vehicle down to 75 and when released the vehicle would again accelerate. When placed into neutral, the vehicle continued revving and when placed in drive it again accelerated. When I was finally able to slow the vehicle by placing it in neutral and continue to push hard on the brakes, I maneuvered the vehicle to the side of the road and turned the vehicle off. It then would not re-start. The ignition wouldn't turn over for approximately 5 minutes. Once restarted the vehicle appears to be working fine. I reported this to the dealer this morning. They were already aware of the previous irregularities and advised they would be talking to the support center today. They have already replaced the clock spring in the vehicle and that did not correct the problem. They have advised that they are aware there is a problem but they do not know how to fix it.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 20 MPH, upon turning either direction, the steering wheel locked and the engine stalled. Additionally, the engine and air bag lights illuminated. The vehicle was restarted immediately. This occurred intermittently. The vehicle was driven to the dealer who could not diagnose the problem. Updated 12/01/06.
Air conditioning not cooling properly. Tested vent temperatures in identical conditions using an infrared temperature probe and a normal analog temperature probe. Used 1997 mercury mountaineer in test with my new 2006 dodge durango. Tested initial left center vent temp and the temp after 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 minutes using the dash vents only and max cool and max fan. The nine year old mountaineer vent temp was 9 or 10 degrees cooler after 5 minutes. The older vehicle cooled faster and provided colder air temps. This testing was done after noticing the durango wasn't cooling as well as my old mountaineer.
Intermittent and spontaneous activation of the windshield wipers and washers during operation of the steering wheel under normal driving conditions. Steering wheel sound system controls work erratically or in reverse of normal function. Ignition remains engaged until switch is recycled. Seems to be low temperature related( happens more often in the cooler am). Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times for repair attempts. Clock spring,multifunction switch,individual audio controls, and the front control module have been replaced under warranty by the dealer with out correcting the problem. Dealer states that chrysler will not authorize additional diagnosis. I am concerned that this is an electrical short in the steering column that may result in air bag deployment, or a vehicle fire, and injuries to my family. Chrysler reps will not address the problem when I have repeatedly attempted to contact them via their hotline at 1‑800‑992‑1997.
