Vehicle has had campaign 14v530000 (and all other recalls and powertrain tsb's) performed. While driving on highways and rural roads, engine shuts off abruptly, causing loss of steering assist and only a couple brake actuations before brake assist is lost (occurred before tipm campaign, still shuts off after campaign). Typically occurs during coasting or mild braking when preparing to enter a turn (does not matter if right or left turn). No "check engine," alternator, or other warning lights appear on the dash (as they would if the engine stalled) -- it is as if ignition switch were immediately turned off. Occasionally when engine shuts off, the instrument cluster gives a forward collision warning disabled warning (but the fcw does not beep, alert, signal, etc. Before the engine shuts off, and there was no obstacle to set off or block the fcw). Since engine seems to shut off, there are no codes active or stored after the engine shuts off. Repeated trips to dealership, and they can not diagnose, or cause the issue to occur.
Tl* the contact owns a 2011 dodge durango. The contact stated that after having the vehicle repaired according to the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v154000 (service brakes, service brakes, hydraulic) and having the brake booster replaced, the "push to start" button malfunctioned.

In addition, the brake lights were constantly illuminated, as if the brakes were engaged, and the forward collision warning alert system was disabled. Also, the ABS would activate continuously, but only on the front driver side wheel. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but the cause of the failures could not be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 56,100.
