Driving car on freeway when the computer locked up system of AWD and sensors. The back tires would not turn and car started to jerk and slowed down. The dash board lighted up and all sensors said off off off. The mileage speedometer changed to kilometers and the mapping screen had the car going in a circle. The steering wheel was stiff and cars where passing me by. The car made a clunking sound when it first happened. I got scared trying to figure out what to do. I slowly got out of traffic and off the freeway to park the car. Had the tow person come and we hard time getting it to stay in neutral. I had to stay in the car so it would not shut off. When got it to dealers for repair the repair place said the computer must have reset itself and they could not find anything wrong"? I feel this is a big problem" this should be looked into as it could be life threating when driving along and the computer takes over like that and you have no control of the wheels. My tow person saw what it was doing also not just me. So I know it was happening. Something is wrong with that computer system where it just shuts down like that. It has done it before on a smaller area of just the high beam controls but this time it was the whole driving mechanizm. Please look into this problem. I would like to see a new computer or something done with my car so it is safer and more reliable. Sincerely, Jan milos

Tire wears prematurely cause vibrations in steering which can cause lose of steering control. Bozak of merrillville in technician describes the issue as Dodge using lower quality tires on a performance SUV. These vehicles are most commonly used for hauling around families. I find it disappointing that this would be the case when a vehicle of this performance and price tags has been subjected to lower quality parts especially on an important item like tires.
