Beginning in dec 2017, we've had sporadic issues while driving on highways and local roads with some portion of the electrical system. When this happens, the center lcd dash screen powers off, and we lose power steering and brakes. Dash lights, exterior lights, radio, a/c all stay on. Typically we have to pull over and turn the car off & back on for it to return. From dec-oct, its happened approx 5-6 times. The…

Recall has been issued but no parts are available - this has been in limbo for some time now. The vehicle has been having a lot of trouble the past two months - stalling, jumping, trouble shifting gears on its own, shutting off at stops, hard to make a smooth transition into different speed limits. I am concerned for my safety and have not heard of when the parts will be available.

Brake booster has a leak in it somewhere. When the vehicle first starts up, there is no braking assist, once the car runs for a few minutes the problem goes away. If the car sits for a while, it happens again on startup. I know there was a recall in a number of 2012 durangos for a faulty brake booster and think maybe it should be extended to cover this one as well.

Driving on interstate taking kids to school when brake light suddenly came on and vehicle brakes were like pushing a brick. Had someone pick up the kids and took to local repair shop i use. They informed me that the power brake booster had went out and when they called the dealership for a part was told it was on back order nationally with no estimate of the time to take to get the part in stock. Best guess was 3-6…

Started my truck and when i went to put it into drive upon applying the brake the pedal was hard and when i applied pressure there was a "hissing" "air noise". I thought that maybe it was just really cold out and it needed to warm up a bit more, so i pumped the brakes and it seemed better. Definitely didn't think that a truck i have had less than 3 years would have any brake issues. Well i was wrong...when going to…
