My 2011 dodge durango crew says key no detected when i attempt to start the vehicle. I thought it was the battery in the key fob because the vehicle stated low key battery and took the fob to battery's plus. They tested the key fob and stated the battery was fine and didn't need to be replaced. Also the drivers side head and brake lights go out.

Looking down, i see that the tachometer now reads 0, and the engine has died. I cannot simply slip it into neutral and then restart it because of the car has a keyless pushbutton and the start button only works with the drive in…

While driving at a constant speed of 25, the vehicle suddenly accelerated, lurching forward, then backed off, then accelerated again. It did this a number of times that day. I pulled off the road and stopped until the vehicle quit trying to accelerate. I was driving on snow/ice and it scared the heck out of me; i was lucky not to wreck because i hit the brakes to counter the sudden acceleration which caused me to…

In speaking with the technician i found out that it could go completely out at…
