My 2005 dodge durango has stalled without warning several times since purchase two years ago. This has happened while moving and the steering locks up. The dealership has examined the vehicle several times and found "nothing" to be wrong with it. There are several other durango owners with this problem. This needs to be recalled and fixed before someone gets hurt or killed (if they haven't already). *tr
