    My vehicle is unstable when i drive at any distance or speed on the road. I had a recall for the calipers but i do not believe that the issue was fixed. I began having problems after the recall was corrected. I notice that my vehicle would pull to the right side. I took the vehicle to get an alignment but that did not solve the problem. The vehicle is also experiencing wobbling in the rear. I also notice that when i…

    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…

    Service Brakes

    I took my 2016 dodge durango to an independent garage (no longer under warranty) because the booster developed a vacuum leak inside under the dash. After removal, we found the booster was filled with water. I found a recall for earlier year dodge durangos from 2011-2014 with a similar issue (safety recall t59 / nhtsa 17v-572), and the fix was to install a shield to protect water from entering. My booster already had…

    The emergency brake cable simply broke upon regular deployment. The failure happened on a low grade hill, not a steep hill. The dealership, king's dodge, cincinnati, reported the cause of failure was weather corrosion to the components. The estimate to repair it was very expensive. I've never had an emergency brake fail on any of my previous dodge vehicles.

    I downloaded and successfully installed a recommended software update to my 2017 dodge durango this past summer. Since then i have noticed that i have difficulty shutting off the vehicle because something has changed in the timing of the the automatic shut-off and when i turn it off. I have occasionally started to leave the vehicle and found that i had not turned it off, but back on. This is an aggravation all by…

    My vehicle only has 17,500 miles on it and the brakes are constantly squeaking. I've cleaned the rotors, but it still makes this god awful squeak. The brakes should be good for another 25,000 miles, but i don't think it's going to make it.
