While on my way to an appointment it was raining and I noticed my car wasn't handling the water on the road like it usually did. It was pulling to one side or jumping around when it hit shallow water. I turned the traction control off and then back on and that seemed to make a difference. That night I got on the federal safety agency and searched for recalls with my VIN number. While other 2018 Durango's had recalls on the ESP it said mine wasn't one on them. About a week later it had been storming all night and I was on my way to work the next morning when I come around a curve to deep flowing water covering the road for approx. 30 yards before a small break and then a thin flowing of water for approx. 20 feet which I didn't see because it was still raining. When I hit the deep water it pulled me towards the right ditch, I was able to keep from going in the ditch but it was a constant fight until I was through the puddle. After the first puddle let go of my vehicle there was just enough time for me to feel relieved I had made it through it before I hit the shallow water and my car hydroplaned darting left, entering the ditch, ramping the side of a driveway and going airborne between two trees before coming down on it's front end and sliding 30 feet to a stop. The emergency contact system spoke asking who to contact but none of my ICE was displayed. Thankfully I was wearing my seatbelt although the tensioner didn't lock the belt in place like it should in the event of an accident. Also neither front airbag deployed, only the passenger side air curtain deployed. My passenger side mirror was hit by a mailbox as I ramped the driveway so I assumed that is why the side curtain deployed but the accident crushed and partially removed both my front and back bumper so my 2 front air bags should have deployed as well. An accident report was made and my insurance company ruled my car as a totaled. I told them what happened but I am not sure if the inspected the ESP system or not.

When I am at a complete stop and then I go to take off as I accelerate the vehicle pulls hard to the right it doesn’t do this every time but it pulls hard to the right and if I don’t catch it in time I will end up in the side of another car or in a ditch this also occurs while I’m already driving at speed and I got to accelerate it will pull hard to the right but then again it does not happen every time

My vehicle is unstable when I drive at any distance or speed on the road. I had a recall for the calipers but I do not believe that the issue was fixed. I began having problems after the recall was corrected. I notice that my vehicle would pull to the right side. I took the vehicle to get an alignment but that did not solve the problem. The vehicle is also experiencing wobbling in the rear. I also notice that when I am making turns or lane changes, the vehicle will still pull to the right side. When making stops at the light or stop signs, the vehicle pulls to the right. The brakes and rotors have been change recently and a new alignment was performed but the car still has the same issue.

Was driving down wayne road when suddenly my car started slowing down everything seem to be working except the gas paddle. I had my feet on gas but it was not responding I quickly pulled to the right as it was hard to turn steering wheel. It was cars behind me and it was scary knowing someone could hit me . I called my husband and he came thought he could just give me a jump but he said its nothing wrong with battery. It looks like im not getting any gas. It wont turn over so he pushed me in the mall. Until I get off from work. I was blessed that it happen to do that on the day he was off because I just started a new job and I didn't need to miss a day as soon as I start working. I also read many similar complaints on this is. This should be taken care of and fast. I thank the lord for watching over me in trial moments.

Since the vehicle was brand new its has had a vibration in the steering wheel and pulls hard to the right. I have had the vehicle to the dealer many times with no success. I found the issue myself once I looked under the car. Both front struts are blown, spraying oil onto other components, frame and leaking onto the floor of the garage. The vehicle slidside ways on a left hand turn from a stop light.
