This is a Nissan 370Z forum.

It sounds like your power steering fluid is low or the pump needs to be replaced. If your tires 'just fall off' when you 'keep turning them', you have problems that no member of this forum can help you with. Find a less expensive shop...you need something repaired.

Sounds like you have a power steering issue. However the "wheels are falling off" comment is a little odd.

If you don't have the money to go get it looked at. It's a long shot, but, maybe try to take it up to Advanced Auto. You might get lucky and one of the more knowledgeable guys will take a look at it. Wear a low cut shirt!

Last suggestion would be doing a google search for a Durango forum. Either way. Good luck!

Cheapo's are about $35-$100 but usually don't last very long. First I would check the condition of the belt as it sounds like it is slipping. Replace the PS Filter.
