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.

Loss of power steering by model year
What owners say
Takata recall loss of power steering, at any speed.
I was driving on the freeway during a very bad rainstorm at night on january 16th, 2019. I was traveling around 50 MPH on the freeway, in the number three lane, when my car shut off, where I lost complete power to my engine. My speedometer dropped from 50 to 30 MPH immediately, leaving me with no power, to barely make it to the emergency lane. No power, no brake, no steering-nothing. My horn was also honking, my headlights flashing, windshield wipers attempting to move but unable to, and speakers making weird noises. And to make things even more scary, my 9 year old son was in the car with me. This is an issue that needs to be investigated, and possibly issue a recall. I feel that I am extremely lucky that my son and myself were not severely injured or even killed, with my car shutting off like that without warning. If I had not been able to cruise to the emergency lane, no doubt we would have been struck at a standstill by oncoming traffic, averaging 50-60 MPH. I am extremely concerned, and this is a huge safety issue. I brought the car into the dodge dealership, where I was told that it was from the rain and it shorted out my electrical. That's it. That's it? There should be a better explanation, and action taken to prevent something like this from ever happening. That car shutting off without warning from 50 MPH to 0 MPH on a freeway could have cost my son and I our lives. I am expecting to hear back from dodge regarding this very dangerous problem that occurred, and I have also read about similar complaints with the durango, so I know this is not a fluke. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Three weeks ago, the power steering failed on my SUV while in motion on a city street. It tightened up severely, making it very difficult to steer. The dodge dealer says the electric power steering control module is faulty and the part is on back order. Today (dec.19), I was told the part would not be available until sometime in january. A parts representative offered to locate a generic part from another manufacturer, which I declined.
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
