“2005 Dodge durango slt 2wd on 4/11/2005 while driving with my 2 yr old son the vehicle stalled while accelerating through a busy intersection. I was almost hit by 2 vehicles.

Handle was replaced and mount reinforced with metal backing. Cd player/ radio fails to work. Nothing done at this time. Door seals torn by upper door hinge. Looks to be designed incorrectly and interferes with lip of door resulting in tearing, air and water leakage. …”
