Common problem persists with this model exhaust manifold bolts are faulty and cause a exhaust leak on both the driver and passenger side of the engine costing around 1,000 to fix. Mine has the same issue when you have a cold engine you hear a ticking noise and it is caused by bad parts from the factory. This repair is very common on these models. This issue is a major issue with changing them due to breakage of the manifold bolts that cost extreme amounts to fix and sometimes if repaired wrong costing a engine replacement.

My wife was driving the vehicle on a country road about 35 MPH when the engine died and she had no power steering or brakes and had to drift to the side of the road. When she tried to restart the car the dash lights would light but the starter would not crank the engine. Shop says the computer has failed.

While driving my durango will just shut off (it doesn't run rough or sputter, it just shuts off) leaving me with no power steering or braking. I will coast to the side of the road, put it in park, then try to start it again. Most times it will start right up and other times it may take 2 - 5 minutes. This will happen about once or twice a month for the past couple of years. Otherwise it runs fine before and after it shuts off on me. One oddity that I notice is that all the gauges seem to work fine except the speedometer drops to 0 even through I am still coasting along. The engine light does not come on during this. This is very dangerous as I have almost hit other cars before since I loose my steering and braking abilities.
