Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We bought the 2005 dodge durango in june 2005. it worked great until about october when it began to stall out. this would usually happen right after starting the car. the other day i was driving down the road with my three children, all under five, going about 40 mph when everything in the car shut off. my steering wheel locked, i had no brakes, no electrical, nothing. the entire car shut off. i had no control of anything. i went into oncoming traffic lanes. luckily there was no one in those lanes. i managed to get the car to stop after pulling into a parking lot. after a few minutes the car started again. i was only a few blocks from home so i tried to drive back home. car stalled again a few minutes later. i parked it. it went to the dealership and they replaced the ignition and flashed the computer. the day they gave it back to me it happened again. right away it went back to the dealership. they have had it ever since. it's been seven days and not even a phone call. i am hesitant to take this car back or be putting my children in it again. something needs to be done about this. i was lucky this time and do not plan to try my luck again. people could die from this serious problem. apparently i am not the only one. *nm
