Sounds like it could be the Torque Converter Clutch Solenoid. Some are on the side of the transmission and others are inside of the transmission.

Does it feel like it wants to lurch forward as it dies?? if so i agree with the torque converter idea.

I have a 2004 Dodge Durango. While driving, I lost all power to the wheels, yet all electrical and engine seemed to be operating. Pulled over, and it would not move , regardless of what gear I put it in ( N, R, D, 1, 2 ) My first guess is the transmission went out, but could there be a sensor or other cause for this. When I accelerate, I hear the engine, but still have no movement in any gear. 8 Answers
