Filed Sep 18, 2023 · Brakes, Electrical · CA

While driving all sensors began flashing simultaneously. I took to mechanic and a few codes turned up. One for speed messages. One for can bus and the other was U0001. Took to dealership service and they had it for a week. After charging battery all sensors were cleared. Same day driving home all sensors came back on simultaneously. Car began making noises and driving in limp mode windshield wipers turned on by themselves. Took car to Firestone to check battery. They replaced battery. Sensors were still flashing all the way home but no other problems. Next day i lost power steering and ability to brake. Nearly crashing the Durango. I eventually was able to pull wheel and get to side of road. I tried to turn off engine,, but it would not turn off nor would the shifter allow me to shift to park. I sat in idle for a few moments and turned car off. I was near my home so drove home.. very difficult to steer. Then car sensors said to push clutch in . I have an automatic. It went crazy.

Truck jerked, then lost all power even though it was still running. Was locked into drive yet would go no where. No power steering, no brakes to speak of, lights flashing in the dash saying the battery needed charging, plus the check engine light flashing along with the d for drive. There was an altenator recall in nov. It took until april before they had the new parts to put in, and we took it in to be replaced. This happened after it was supposedly replaced. I don't think they actually did a replacement or else the new ones are just as bad as the old ones, and have the same problem

Vehicle is a new company vehicle and had approximately 507 miles on it when the incident occurred. I was driving and vehicle lost power steering and started to smoke from under the hood. Pulled into next safe parking lot and opened hood. Couldn't see any flames and after about 5 - 10 minutes smoke stopped. Tried driving vehicle and it seemed ok except for no power steering. Drove vehicle home and called the 800 number for customer service for chrysler, dodge and they told me to call a local chrysler, dodge dealer for a service appointment. Called local dealer and they told me to bring vehicle in two days later for service. According to the invoice, the power steering pump leaked from behind the pulley. Fluid also leaked onto the serpentine belt. Updated 03/11/15

Driving the car at city speeds approx 30 MPH when the car lost all power. We were forced to swerve off the road to the side. The car would not restart and had to be repaired. They replaced the fuel pump, and now are replacing the entire fuel tank. I feel that we were very lucky to be in an area where it was safe to pull over, if we had been on the highway would have been a very dangerous situation.
