NHTSA Complaint #10406329 — 2005 DODGE DURANGO

1-2 POSSIBLE CONCERNS- #1- (5.7 V.8 ENGINE ISSUE) AS MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED THE VEHICLE STALLS AND QUITS ON SUDDEN STOPS, AND WHEN MAKING TURN. AFTER THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF - IT CAN BE RESTARTED - BUT NO ENGINE CODE IS GENERATED. THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CAUSE, BUT CITES NUMEROUS THINGS THAT IT CAN BE - WANTING ME TO SPEND $$ TO INVESTIGATE EACH ONE AND REPLACE PARTS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE DURANGO AND ENGINE STALL. THE ISSUE IS UNPREDICTABLE AND NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DUPLICATE - EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED A DOZEN OR SO TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. ON SEVERAL OF THIS OCCASIONS I (AND MY FAMILY OF 5) HAVE BEEN PLACED IN LIFE THREATENING SITUATIONS AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH CONTROLLING THE VEHICLE DUE TO A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL. THIS ISSUE MAY BE RELATED TO THE NEXT COMPLAINT. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT THIS ON MANY OCCASIONS HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER A FILL UP. AND - EVEN THOUGH MY VIN WAS RECALLED IN 2005 AND FIXED - GAS STILL SPRAYS OUT THE FUEL FILLER AND ANY GAS STATION WHEN YOU FILL THE VEHICLE UP FULLY. TO GET AROUND THIS - MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE FILLED ALL THE WAY UP. THIS ISSUE IS EASY TO DUPLICATE - BUT MY DEALER STATES THAT THE WORK DONE IN 2005 SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS AND THAT ANY OTHER ISSUE ARE NOT A WARRANTY/RECALL ISSUES. AGAIN - THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $$ TO TEST AND TRY TO FIND AN ANSWER SINCE ACCORDING TO THEM THIS PROBLEM HAS ALREADY BEEN FIXED.
