I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT TURNS OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING , IT HAS DONE THIS NUMEROUS TIMES AND I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEIR RESPONSE HAS BEEN VERY RELUCTANT TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM . I HAVE NOTIFIED THEM THAT WHEN I AM ON THE ROAD IT IS A HAZARD TO ME AND MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHER MOTORIST . I REQUESTED THAT THEY NEED TO BE VERY DILIGENT AND THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL WHO DRIVE ON THE PUBLIC ROAD. *NM
