    1) events leading up to the failure? None. Engine failure occurs without warning. 2) the engine failure occurs totally randomly, with no perceivable indication prior. It has happened at stop signs, in parking lots, and on roadways. Were this to happen on a highway or a bridge or a steep hill, the outcome could very easily be fatal! 3) failure does not get recorded by onboard computer; hence, mechanic is unable to…

    My 1999 dodge durango began jolting while driving with sudden loss of power, including steering. This has happened multiple times while driving on the highway and is increasing in frequency as the weather is warmer. I was able to coast to the side of the highway, but being as there was no shoulder, i ended up in a ditch. If this were a freeway and i were in the left lane, i am not sure i would have made it to the…

    99 dodge durango v8. This vehicle is a piece of crap. The car stalls without warning whenever it wants without warning. This is very dangerous for my family to ride in anywhere especially on the freeway. Dodge needs to do a recall on this vehicle as it is hard to tell how many fatalities have occurred from this reason. Sometimes the car will run for 25-30 minutes before it shuts off and seems the car has to cool…
