There was a recall on the 2013 dodge durango for the SUV to suddenly shut off while driving. The recall was said to be fixed but since then I have had it shut off at least 4 times while driving. You lose complete control of the car; no brakes, no steering...nothing! This has helped on a flat surface and on a hill.

Recall v62 has been partially repaired twice. My vehicle continues to shut off while driving- always when I am going down the road with my children in the car and randomly shuts off- I lose power steering and have to hope that it doesn't cause an accident. I have complained about this and nothing has been solved yet. This issue happens all the time- no specific day- everyday. Please address

I was driving and the vehicle completely shut off without warning. There are no lights on, on the dash and it is not giving off any codes. The vehicle has shut off three times now. The first time in january, I had just got off of the highway and began to travel again. The truck turned off when I got up to around 25-30 miles per hour. The second time in march, I had stopped and started to travel again and was going about 25 miles per hour coming up an underpass.and the third time was yesterday. I was driving up a city street going about 40 miles per hour and the truck shut off. There was no one on the side of me. It felt like there was no power steering. I was able to wrestle the steering wheel to move to the side of the road. The truck coasted and stopped. I could not press the brake!!!! Each time the vehicle shut off was when I was coming off of a stop and bringing the vehicle back up to speed, except yesterday it shut off once I was up to about 40 miles per hour. The vehicle shut off, I was unable to steer the truck as if it had no power steering and I could not press the brakes. I was able to wrestle the truck over and restart it. This is a serious issue. I reported it to dodge today and they said there are no open recalls on this issue and to take it back to the dealer. However, I searched online and there are numerous similar complaints. Something needs to be done before someone dies.

While driving my car is continuously shutting off. I lose power steering and need to put the vehicle in park and restart it. The first time I was coasting at 45 MPH the car display controls when off and turned back on. The second time I was turning into a parking stall and the car died mid park at which point I had to manually restart. The most recent time I was driving my kids to school and the car died while going 35 I had to pull over to the shoulder (with no power steering) and restart the engine. The music and headlights remained on while the engine was off. The car starts right up without hesitation and the local dodge delearship is not finding a code to properly detect the problem their best guess is to replace the tipm in hopes it will fix the problem. I need a safe reliable car and not one that is as risk of dying mid drive and causing an accident hurting my family or others.

Dodge durango 2013- 78,000 miles: on multiple occasions while driving our 2013 durango it just shuts off. All inside electrical devices go blanks and we lose power steering. We have documented dates of when this has occurred and it can be 5 minutes into the drive or 45 minutes on a busy highway. We have had it the garage multiple times and they continue to tell us without a code they can not diagnose any issues. This has been happening since june 2018. We reported this issue to dodge. They suggested we go to the garage for a diagnosis. We tried again on 12/26/18 to get a diagnosis and they again could not find anything wrong with the vehicle without a code. As my husband proceeded to drive away from the garage, it shut off again. He went back into the garage and they said they couldn't find any codes. So we continue to pay for garage visits with no answers. We are now afraid to drive our only vehicle because it shuts off completely while driving. It is completely dangerous to be driving down a busy highway and you lose your power steering or if you are pulling out of an establishment and lose power in front of other cars. We paid a lot of money for this car and have taken care of it with regular oil changes and garage visits. This seems like a major safety issue and dodge should be concerned that someone may be hurt or killed.
