2004 Dodge Durango vehicle speed control problems

“I was coming home. As I pulled in my garage, hit the brake to stop and put in park. The vehicle started winding up to a point where my foot on the brake didn't matter. It accelerated forward, going through the wall of my garage, through my backyard, thru a chain guard, and into the corner of the museum wall next door. I was finally able to stop it completely by shutting the vehicle off. Despite the speed and impact to the front of my vehicle, the airbags never deployed.”

“While driving my vehicle this morning my odometer completely shut off while on the freeway and all my little lights on the dashboard went on. My turn signals, as well as my brake lights stopped working as well.”

“I TOOK MY DURANGO IN FOR 3 RECALLS AT KELLY BLUE BOOKS DIRECTION AFTER PUTTING MY VIN IN FOR CHECK ON WEBSITE. I WENT TO BILL LUKE 2425 W CAMELBACK RD INVOICE NUMBER [XXX] AND NOW MY DRIVER SEAT IS NOT ABLE TO BE ACCESSED FROM OUTSIDE MY DOOR BY KEY FOB, MANUAL UNLOCK OR DOOR HANDLE.

“MY VEHICLE STALLS IN THE RAIN. IT STALLS AT A STOP OR ROLLING SPEEDS. IT IDLES ROUGH FIRST AND THEN STALLS OR SHUTS OFF. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON, BUT NOT ALWAYS. THIS ONLY OCCURS IN THE RAIN. I'VE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOK AT IT, AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I'VE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO GET THIS FIXED. THROUGH ONLINE RESEARCH, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE.”
