2005 DODGE DURANGO Engine Problems

I almost died, I escaped my car moments before it completely exploded into flames. I was driving down the interstate and it said it was overheating for a couple seconds and then the car went completely dead going 70 miles per hour. My steering wheel locked up so I fought to pull it off the road and stop it, I had a bad feeling so I checked the front of the car but it was inflamed once I got out and my seat was consumed in fire

Was driving 2005 dodge Durango when it stalled and stopped running at a bottom of a hill. Would not start . Replaced idiole control sensor, starter, battery, crank shaft sensor and relays. Started ran for 30 minutes again just died in the middle of the road. Will not start. If someone would of come over the hills could of hit us with sever injury or possibly death. Still wont run crank over wont run.

Engine is intermittent stalling when driving or taking a sharp corner at Low speed. The vehicle engine has just stalled when driving at different speeds. No check engine lite on at all the engine just stalls and I can restart the engine almost all the time right away the repair facility has no idea what is going on. Need to get this figured out before an accident happens

ENGINE STALLING WHILE LOW SPEED DRIVING, WHEN DECELERATION, WHILE MAKING A STOP SIGN OR WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED PERSISTENTLY IN DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND SETTINGS. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF THE TIMES THE VEHICLE'S SHUTTING OFF OCCURS FREQUENTLY AT LOW SPEED, IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHER NORMAL SPEED. CHRYSLER COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE LISTED ON SOME VEHICLES OF THE SAME YEAR 2005 THAT EVIDENTLY SHOWS CERTAIN DEFECTS, THEREFORE, OWNERS ARE IMMEDIATELY DISMISS OR IGNORED AND LEFT WITH A LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE ON THEIR HANDS.

'TAKATA RECALL' THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT 4.7 LITER V8, 4 WHEEL DRIVE SUV THAT ARE ALARMING. EVERY SINGLE TIME I FUEL THE VEHICLE IT SHOOTS GASOLINE RIGHT BACK ON OUT OF THE GAS TANK WHERE YOU INSERT THE FUEL NOZZLE AND COVERS ME WITH GAS! PLUS I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SEVERAL TIMES, ALONG WITH THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AND MAP SENSOR JUST TO TRY AND CORRECT THE STALLING WHILE EITHER SLOWING DOWN TO COME TO A STOP, OR IT ALSO OCCURS QUITE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT NORMAL OPERATIONAL TEMPERATURE AND JUST IDLING. THE RPM GAUGE INSIDE THE VEHICLE STARTS FLUCTUATING IRRATICALLY BEFORE STALLING. YOU LOSE ALL POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STALLS! ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT'S PRESENT IS HARD SHIFTING, OR THE VEHICLE FAILS TO SHIFT UNTIL IT ALMOST PEGS OUT THE...

2005 DODGE DURANGO LTD WITH A 5.7L HEMI. STALLS OUT IN TRAFFIC OFTEN WHEN IT RAINS WHETHER STATIONARY OR MOVING. ACCORDING TO PEOPLE ON YOUTUBE, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A FEW OCCASIONS, BUT I AM REPORTING THE MOST RECENT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WATER DRAINS ONTO THE MANIFOLD AND SOMEHOW CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO STALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK LEAKED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TOP OFF THE FUEL TANK. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED OFTEN, WOULD NOT RESTART, AND THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE.

HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED AN UNKNOWN FUSE IN THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

MY DURANGO WAS SERVICED ON 2/23/2018 WITH REGULAR UPKEEP STUFF LIKE NEW BATTERY, OIL CHANGE, ECT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, MY RPMS WOULD JUMP AND DROP WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. ON 3/10/2018, I STARTED MY CAR AND DROVE A FEW BLOCKS AND IT DID JUST FINE, LATER THAT EVENING, I DROVE ABOUT 4 BLOCKS AND MY ENGINE DIED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, I WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP AND MAKE IT ABOUT A BLOCK BEFORE IT DIED AGAIN, ABLE TO RESTART IT AND MAKE IT HOME BEFORE MY ENGINE DIED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT NO CODES COULD BE PULLED AND THAT MY CAR WAS SHORTING OUT DUE TO MY RADIATOR AND WATER PUMP. WE REPLACED THOSE AND MY THERMOSTAT AND THEY SAID IT SHOULD BE FINE. DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 15 MILES OR LESS AND IT DIED AGAIN. SO I...

THE TRANSFER CASE MAKE CLICKING COUNTS WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE CAR IS IDLE. IT ALSO MAKES THESE CLICKING NOISES WHILE THE CAR IS OFF PUTTING THE CAR INTO 4 LO ON ITS OWN. THE CAR WILL SOMETIMES SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING LOW SPEEDS AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN. THE BATTERY DIES FREQUENTLY AFTER A WEEK OF NOT IS USE.

MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE FROM THE HOOD AREA (I HAVE PHOTOS) AND AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED . I TOOK MY CAR IN AND THE AIR BAGS WERE REPLACED BUT NEVER DEPLOYED AND CAR IS A TOTAL LOST DUE TO FIRE.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND ALLOWING CHILDREN TO CROSS IN THE CROSSWALK, MY VEHICLE TRY'S TO ACCELERATE/JUMP FORWARD EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT HAS THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY PUSHED DOWN. THE SCHOOLS IN MY TOWN GET PACKED WITH TRAFFIC AND YOU HAVE TO KINDA OF STOP AND GO AT A SLOW PACE FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO TRY'S TO NUDGE FORWARD ON ITS OWN WHEN SLOWLY STOPPING AND GOING IN TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS FOR THIS TO BE HAPPENING AROUND ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS WITH CHILDREN AROUND. I HOPE THIS KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE IS ABLE TO BE RESOLVED. THIS IS A DAILY OCCURRENCE, WHETHER I'M PICKING UP OR DROPPING OFF KIDS AT SCHOOL, OR I'M CREEPING ALONG VERY SLOWLY STOPPING AND GOING LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT, OR AT A RED LIGHT OR SLOWING DOWN BEFORE ENTERING A DRIVEWAY, OR ANYTIME I'M IN A...

IT IS A AWD CAR BUT SOMETIME THE 4LO LIGHT COMES ON WITH A VERY ANNOYING NOISE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR OR ENGINE, THEN THE SPEED BEING SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CAR BECOMES HARD TO KEEP GOING. THE STREAKING SOUND AND THE SPEED BEING REDUCED LIKE THE BREAK BEING STEPPED ON ABRUBTLY MAKES ME PULL OVER FOR SAFETY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

FOR NO REASON THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING. NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH OR ANYTHING, SHUTS OFF AND NO STEERING. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE SITTING AT A LIGHT, NO WARNING SIGNS. ACTS FINE, BOTH TIMES DURING CITY STREET DRIVING.

THE TRANSFER CASE SHIFTS BY ITS SELF.THE VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO LOCK ALL ON IT'S OWN, THEN THE SVC 4WD LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF YOU CAN HEAR THE TRANSFER SHIFT BACK AND FORTH FROM AWD TO 4 LOCK NOW ITS STUCK IN 4LO THIS HAPPENS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION.

ENGINE CUTS OFF AT ANY SPEED, BUT ESPECIALLY AT LOW IDLE, WHEN NEARING AN INTERSECTION, OR TURNING THE VEHICLE AT A LOWER, SAFER SPEED. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAY, RESIDENTIAL STREETS, STOPLIGHTS, BASICALLY ANYWHERE AT ANYTIME.

SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, IT HAS SHUT OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. 1ST: I WAS STOPPED AT A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION AND IT SHUT OFF, 2ND IT SHUT OFF WHILE STOPPING IN THE MEDIAN GETTING READY TO TURN INTO WORK, 3RD: I WAS SLOWING DOWN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT SHUT OFF AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A STOP SIGN SINCE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. 4TH: I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND IT SHUT OFF. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. I HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR 2 OUT OF THE 4 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A FATALITY WAITING TO HAPPEN.

I JUST RETURNED FROM A TRIP FROM P.A TO BUFFALO N.Y. I PARKED IT OVERNIGHT WOKE UP THE NEXT MORNING TO A LOUD RATTLE SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

THE VEHICLE STARTS FINE AND TYPICALLY RUNS FINE, BUT STALLS OUT RANDOMLY. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO, AND HAPPENS ABOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK NOW. SOMETIMES IT STALLS ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MPH AND YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT HAPPENS WHEN DECELERATING TO TURN A CORNER, WHICH IS REALLY FRUSTRATING AS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAS CAUSED ME TO GO OFF THE ROAD OR HIT CURBS IF I CAN'T MUSCLE THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE TURN. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS YET, BUT IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, AND THERE ARE NO ISSUES WITH THE DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES. THE DODGE DEALER SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES, BUT ONLINE FORUMS SHOW HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING...

THIS VEHICLE ROUTINELY STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVE, DECELARATION, COASTING, AND ALSO WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE CAR STALLS ALOT WHENEVER YOU'RE AT A LIGHT OR GOING SLOW SPEEDS. WILL TURN OFF AND NEEDS TO BE TURNED ON. THE IGNITION LOCKS AND THE KEY WONT TURN WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY BLINKING WHEN THE DRIVER SEAT BELT IS NOT ON. WHEN THE SEATBELT IS ON, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS PERMANENTLY ON.

THIS IS PUTTING MY FAMILY , MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD AT RISK THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN COMING TO A STOP

MY DURANGO HAS ONLY 28,000 MI. DROVE ABOUT 2 MI. FOR MY PT AND AN HOUR LATER I COULD NOT GET MY DURANGO STARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. CALLED A TOW COMPANY AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO A LICENSED MECHANIC. AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS, THE MECHANIC STARTED THE CAR AND SAID HE CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG SO TAKE THE CAR HOME. I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND A WEBSITE WHERE PEOPLE SHARED THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH THEIR 2005 DURANGO AND I AM VERY, VERY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW. THEY WROTE THAT THEY HAVE HAD EXPERIENCES WHEN THE ENGINE WOULD STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. WHAT IS GOING ON? NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM/PHENOMENA?

BOTH THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND THE 2 4 TRANSMISSION SOLENOID CONSTANTLY GO BAD. THE RESULT IS LOSS OF POWER AND/OR ENGINE SHUTS OFF. IN A SCENARIO WHERE THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY/ROADWAY AT HIGH SPEED, THIS MAY CAUSE A COLLISION. I HAVE REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR 4 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS AND THE 2 4 TRANSMISSION SOLENOID TWICE.

OPENED THE DRIVERS DOOR AFTER A STORM AND OBSERVED STANDING WATER IN THE DRIVERS SIDE FLOORBOARD. TRIED TO START BUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. (DAILY DRIVER W BATTERY @ 1YR OLD). PLACED BATTERY ON A CHARGER AND WAS ABLE TO START MOTOR. ENGINE WAS REVING BETWEEN IDLE AND 1500 RPM RAPIDLY AND WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE INPUTS. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS ALL ON AND NAVIGATION DISPLAY WAS ON BUT NOT LEGIBLE. LOOKED FOR THE SOURCE OF THE WATER, AND IT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM AROUND THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT PILLAR AREA AND LEAKING DOWN THE INSIDE KICK PANEL.

I WAS ABLE TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING A ACCIDENT. MY DODGE WAS ABLE TO RESTART WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING OR INDICATION BUT WILL RANDOMLY SHUT-OFF WITHOUT WARNING AT LEAST 4-6 TIMES A WEEK WHILE DRIVING.

I AM VERY LUCK THAT IT WAS A CAR BEHIND ME AND THEY WERE NOT GOING FAST. MY CAR SHUT OFF AND I LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN TRY TO START THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS SINCE 2006.

I TURNED LEFT SHARPLY INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED ON ME UPON DOING THIS. I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, STEERING AND BRAKE CONTROL.

I AM GLAD I DINT HAD MY KIDS WITH AT THE TIME CUZ I WAS DRIVING ALL DAY AND THE TRUCK WAS FINE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE HOW IT JUST BLEW UP OUT OF NOWHERE AND FOR ONLY HAVING 105 MILES ON IT ITS TOO SOON WHEN EVERYTHING WAS DONE IN TIME.
