What owners wrote
When we tried to avoid an accident by braking, our anti-lock brakes locked and we were unable to steer. Also, upon impact at approximately 40-45 MPH, our air bags did not deploy even though the front end of our dodge durango (2000) was completely destroyed.
Driving on regular road just turns off and you loose control of steering , brakes and speed, it has happened on highway and lucky it has happened while on right lane. Steering locks down and you are force to use muscle power to get it out of the way. Can I make a lawsuit against the dodge people to fix such problem or should I wait until my wife gets killed or others as it has happened with other durango owners?
