WHILE DRIVING THE DURANGO STALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERE. NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN SHOWING DOWN. THE DURANGO DOES NOT START UP RIGHT AWAY AND HEADLIGHTS AND HAZARD LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THE OTHER DAY IT STALLED AT 5AM IN THE MORNING WHILE CROSS A BUSY TRAFFIC LIGHT. IT WAS DARK AND THE HAZARDS AND HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK. I WAS SCARED SOMEONE WOULD HIT ME. IT STARTED UP ABOUT 6 MINUTES LATER WHICH FELT LIKE A LIFETIME. THIS DURANGO HAS ALWAYS HAD A HISTORY OF STALING AND STARTING BACK UP BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I REALIZED HOW MUCH OF A SAFETY ISSUE THIS WAS DUE TO HAVING NO LIGHTS OR HAZARDS AND BEING STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2007 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED 4.7L 4X4 HAS BEEN CUTTING OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL AS WELL AS CUTTING OFF WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE ESP/BAS AND SLIPPERY ROAD LIGHT. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR A COUPLE YEARS AND THE COMPUTER SAYS AIR FLOW SENSOR DETECTED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TRADE IN CAUSE NO DEALERSHIP WANTS A PART OF IT CAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. ANY HELP OR GUIDANCE WITH WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE TO FIX IT WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP THANK YOU.
