“1999 Dodge Durango. Truck has been stalling and dying for over a year now, with no warning. The vehicle will shut down causing you to lose power brake + steering. I've changed all sensors. Plugs, wires etc, and still stalls. No mechanic or dealer can re-create the problem and Dodge has no record of this problem being an issue, I'm the first! Ha!”
