 Description of the problemI was driving on the freeway during a very bad rainstorm at night on january 16th, 2019. I was traveling around 50 mph on the freeway, in the number three lane, when my car shut off, where i lost complete power to my engine. My speedometer dropped from 50 to 30 mph immediately, leaving me with no power, to barely make it to the emergency lane. No power, no brake, no steering-nothing. My horn was also honking, my headlights flashing, windshield wipers attempting to move but unable to, and speakers making weird noises. And to make things even more scary, my 9 year old son was in the car with me. This is an issue that needs to be investigated, and possibly issue a recall. I feel that i am extremely lucky that my son and myself were not severely injured or even killed, with my car shutting off like that without warning. If i had not been able to cruise to the emergency lane, no doubt we would have been struck at a standstill by oncoming traffic, averaging 50-60 mph. I am extremely concerned, and this is a huge safety issue. I brought the car into the dodge dealership, where i was told that it was from the rain and it shorted out my electrical. That's it. That's it? There should be a better explanation, and action taken to prevent something like this from ever happening. That car shutting off without warning from 50 mph to 0 mph on a freeway could have cost my son and i our lives. I am expecting to hear back from dodge regarding this very dangerous problem that occurred, and i have also read about similar complaints with the durango, so i know this is not a fluke. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
