While driving, no matter what speed the vehicle starts to sputter, loses power and will stall. I was low on gas, and took my car to a local gas station for fuel. After putting $10 in my car was running extremely rough. I was doing about 20 mph, when it just shut off. Brakes got real hard. After re starting the vehicle all seemed normal. Then, i drove about 3 car lengths and it did it again at a red light. I tried…

During breaking, steering, and turning, i hear a "clacking" sound and there is a feeling of something sticking. When the suv is parked on my drive way, i release the hand break and i can hear a strong "clack" sound. I had times where the breaking system was difficult to press. I took the suv to pep boys and their evaluation shows that it needs upper and lower ball joints, front brakes, and shock and struts.…

I think it is related to the durango's. I had another model years ago…

I was parked in driveway as i was exiting to go into street the brakes felt very soft. As i shifted into drive the brake pedal went all the way down with minimal braking. I pulled to the side and stopped the engine. I noticed a pool of fluid which turned out to be brake fluid from a brake line. Today nine months later the same thing happened on the other side. This vehicle was purchased new in october,2003. *tr

With slight wear on the brake pads, problem…
