2005 DODGE DURANGO Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TESTED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WILL BE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 118,000.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO THAT WAS PURCHASED FROM CARS PLUS IN LENOIR, NC IN MARCH 2010. STARTING ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE ALL POWER WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN IF YOU START AROUND A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. THIS DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME YOU TAKE A TURN OR HIT THE BRAKES. IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS IT HAS HAPPENED 8 TIMES. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE LOOSES ALL POWER. YOU HAVE NO BRAKES AND NO POWER STEERING. THERE ARE NO WARNINGS THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER TWICE AND SOMEONE ELSE ONCE. NOTHING PULLS UP ON THE COMPUTER AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DODGE HAS TOLD ME THIS IS MY PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE ABOUT 800 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM IN THE 2005 DURANGOS ON THE COMPUTER, BECAUSE MY WARRANTY IS OUT....

I HAVE ALREADY FILED THIS COMPLAINT BUT NEVER GOT ANY RESOLUTION AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE ENGINE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE YOUR WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION EA05018. IT IS NOW AT THE MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM SO FAR. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IF THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT I WANT TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER/DODGE OR THE ODI CANNOT OFFER A FIX IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SAFETY IS FURTHER COMPROMISED? *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO KEEPS "SHUTTING OFF" WHILE I'M DRIVING. I AM USUALLY TURNING AND GOING LESS THAN 20 MPH WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. MY RADIO STAYS WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT BACK ON. IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE 2006 SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED TWICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING SHOWS UP WRONG. THEY SUGGESTED THE NEXT TIME IT DOES IT, TO LEAVE IT BE AND HAVE IT TOWED. UMM, KINDA DIFFICULT WHEN I AM IN THE ROAD WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. *TR

FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN AS MANY MONTHS, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THIS PAST FEBRUARY, I HAD THE DEALER PUT IN NEARLY $2000 WORTH OF WORK IN ADDITION TO FIXING THE RECALLED ISSUES OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND FUEL TANK. THE POWER LOSS HAPPENED AFTER THIS AND AFTER HAVING TAKEN IT BACK ONCE TO THE DEALER I WILL NOT TAKE IT TO THEM AGAIN DUE TO POOR SERVICE. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR, BUT NOTHING COMES UP. THE CAR SIMPLY LOSES POWER AND I AM FORCED TO TRY TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP AGAIN. NO "CHECK ENGINE" OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD, VERY WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAS ONLY...

MY DURANGO ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. ONCE IT SHUTS OFF I TOTALLY LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING/POWER BRAKES. IT HAPPENS TOTALLY AT RANDOM, SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO MONTHS IN BETWEEN INCIDENTS. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS OF YET, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NEAR MISSES, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON WINDY ROADS, WHEN LACK OF POWER STEERING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAS STATED THAT DUE TO THE RANDOMNESS OF THE ISSUE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT, CHARGING ME $80.00/HOUR TRYING TO EVEN REPLICATE THE ISSUE, NO CODES WERE ABLE TO BE FOUND. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE WITH MY DODGE, BUT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AROUND 40,000 ON MY VEHICLE, OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. ONCE THE...

ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING LOSING ALL POWER ASSISTED CONTROL TO VEHICLE. VEHICLE STALL WILL OCCUR AT RANDOM TIMES AND DURING DIFFERENT DRIVING MANEUVERS; TURNING LEFT, STOPPING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT. SERVICE/REPAIR SHOP UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE VERY POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS HAZARD CREATED BY THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. STALLING OCCURRED LESS FREQUENTLY IN THE BEGINNING BUT HAS INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE OFTEN; APPROXIMATELY ONCE A DAY. *TR

IN MARCH I HAD MY 2005 DURANGO IN FOR THE 2 RECALLS AND ADDITIONAL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS DONE AT THAT TIME AS WELL. IT HAS 55,000 MILES ON IT. THIS PAST SATURDAY, IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I WAS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC. HE RAN A DIAGNOSTIC SCAN AS WELL AS DROVE IT, AND NOTHING AT ALL SHOWED UP. I AM VERY FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS SUDDEN STALLS. I SEE ONLINE THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE FOR CHRYSLER DODGE TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 05 DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI V8 HAD NO PROBLEMS THEN A FEW MONTHS WENT BY AN STARTED TO NOTICE THE STALLING PROBLEM TOOK IT TO SHOPS NO PROBLEMS SO I WENT ONLINE TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE AND I FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WELL TODAY DREW THE STRAW WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE 75MPH AN THE [XXX] THING SHUT OFF NO POWER NO STEERING NO NOTHING HAD MY KIDS IN THE BACK SEAT AS WELL... WHEN IS THIS COMPANY GOING TO REALIZE THEY HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM SOMEWHERE THAT IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF IT SHUTS OFF WITH NO NOTICE AND HAS NO POWER TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN AN GET OUT OF HARMS WAY... AND OF COURSE IT CRANKS RIGHT BACK UP BUT THEN SHUTS OFF AGAIN HAPPENS SOMETIMES THEN WEEKS MONTHS CAN GO BY AND IT JUST DOES IT AGAIN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM...

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH OUR 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN IT. MADE A LEFT TURN, TRAVELING AT APPROX. 5-10 MILES PER HOUR WHEN VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. NO STEERING...NO POWER BRAKING...NOTHING. TRUCK WAS ABLE TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE EVENT. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRUCK. AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S COMPLAINTS. I'M NOT SURPRISED. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND WILL NOT PUT OUR CHILDREN IN IT. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 66,000. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN I AM IN AN INTERSECTION OR MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE? *TR

WHENEVER I AM STOPPED OR IDLING, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF BY ITSELF. THE RPM GAUGE WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN AND THE ENGINE WILL REV BY ITSELF, WHILE MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL IS OFF BUT THE RUNNING/OUTSIDE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THE STEERING TIGHTENS UP,BUT THE BRAKES WORK. THE CAR IS ABLE TO BE PUT IN PARK, SHUT OFF AND STARTED RIGHT BACK UP, SO FAR. IT NORMALLY ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, OR STOPPING AND BEING IDLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A FEW MONTHS, NORMALLY ONCE A WEEK, BUT THIS PAST WEEKEND IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. WE NOW DON'T LEAVE TOWN WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I AM ACTUALLY SCARED TO DRIVE IT JUST AROUND TOWN. I HAVE KIDS AND DON'T WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN WHILE IM DRIVING AT ACCELERATED...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND OVERHEATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART. THREE HOURS LATER, THE CONTACT TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER BUT NO REPAIRS WERE MADE WHEN THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 95,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLING WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. JANUARY 2010 DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. HAPPENED AGAIN 4/8/2010. DEALER REPLACED EGR VALVE BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AND TO COME BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. HOPEFULLY IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN IN TRAFFIC AND I GET KILLED OR KILL SOMEONE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. *TR

OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH A 5.7 HEMI ENGINE SHUT ITSELF OFF OUT OF THE BLUE WHILE DRIVING HOME. IT IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. DRIVING SPEED WAS AROUND 35 MPH. IT HAPPENED AS WE LET UP ON THE THROTTLE. IT DOES RESTART BUT IT IS VERY HARD TO STOP AND CONTROL WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT WITH THE 5.7L V8 HEMI. I JUST PURCHASED IT USED JANUARY 16TH OF 2010 WITH 80,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEGUN TO STALL (THE STEERING LOCKS UP, BRAKES HARD TO PUSH, ENGINE CUTS OFF) WHEN MAKING TURNS OCCASIONALLY FROM THE STOPPED POSITION, OR WHEN ACCELERATING. IT VARIES AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME 5 TIMES SINCE JAN. 16TH. THE LATEST INCIDENT WAS YESTERDAY (FEB 1ST) WHILE MAKING A TURN OFF OF ROCKPORT ROAD ONTO HIGHWAY 37 NORTH IN BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 60 IN THIS STRETCH OF THE HIGHWAY, AND AS I WAS TURNING ONTO THE HIGHWAY THE DURANGO QUIT WORKING. I IMMEDIATELY PUT IT IN PARK AND STARTED IT BACK UP AND FLOORED IT IN REVERSE TO GET BACK ONTO ROCKPORT ROAD. I HAD GIVEN MYSELF AMPLE SPACE TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. AFTER STARTING THE IGNITION SHE HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN DETECTED METAL CIRCULATING IN THE OIL. HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENGINE BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING INSPECTED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 80,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I JUST PURCHASED AN 05' DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE 1 MONTH AND IT HAS JUST STARTED STALLING ON ME. VERY SCARY SITUATION. IT HAS HAPPENED AT THE EXACT SAME SPOT BOTH TIMES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND A COUPLE OF FORUMS WHERE THIS APPARENTLY A MAJOR ISSUE. I COME TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT , START TO ACCELERATE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND LOSE ALL POWER. IT HAS DONE THIS 2X IN 1 MONTH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM HAS EVER BEEN DIAGNOSED. *TR

WHEN I AM DRIVING AT SLOW MPH OR TURNING, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON BUT I WAS ALMOST HIT THE OTHER DAY. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT WITH A 5.7 HEMI. PROBLEMS WITH ENGINE STALLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT/STOP SIGN, PULLING INTO/OUT OF DRIVEWAY/PARKING SPOTS AND MOST RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH. THE STALLING HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15-20 TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. ALMOST TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING WAS NOT 100%. I HAVE HAD IT INTO A DODGE DEALER BEFORE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND OF COURSE THEY'VE FOUND NOTHING SO NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I ALMOST ALWAYS HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR WITH ME. *TR

05 DODGE DURANGO 5.7L V8 ENGINE STALLS DURING DECELERATION AND TURNS WITH ACCELERATION. EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WITH LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BREAKING. DRIVING 60MPH ON FREEWAY 331 ENGINE STALLED ON LANE MERGER CAUSES SEVERAL CARS TO SEVERELY BREAK AND THE DURANGO TO RUN OFF THE ROAD IN A DITCH. THE RESULT WAS TOWING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. AFTER VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP WE DROVE THE VEHICLE 100MILES AT WHICH TIME IT STALLED AGAIN CAUSING ANOTHER NEAR FATAL WRECK WITH MY WIFE AND 3 SMALL CHILDREN PRESENT. THIS ISSUE IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH DDC HOWEVER WE WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY STALLING ISSUES. I FEEL THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. I FEEL MY FAMILY WAS PUT IN DANGER OVER AN ISSUE THAT SEEMS VERY COMMON. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

MY 2005 DURANGO STALLS WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP OR SLOWING TO TURN. THERE IS NO WARNING, EVERYTHING JUST STOPS. LOSS OF POWERSTEERING MAKES THE SITUATION VERY UNSETTLING AND DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING AN UNPROTECTED LEFT TURN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS AND HAVE NOTICE AN INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF STALLS OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. HAVE NOT YET HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT DUE TO THE INABILITY TO CONSISTENTLY RECREATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2005 DURANGO STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS, OFTEN WHILE DECELERATING (TURNS, PARKING ETC) AND IS CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ENGINE STALL CAUSES POWER FAILURE TO STEERING AND BRAKES AND HAS ALMOST CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE CAR STARTS BACK UP RIGHT AWAY AFTER BEING PLACED IN PARK. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT ALLOWING MY WIFE TO DRIVE WITH CHILDREN IN CAR. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS OF MY RPM ACCELERATING AND OVERDRIVE SHIFTING. I HAVE ALSO READ NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS PERTAINING TO THE SAME ISSUES WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE PURCHASED A DODGE DURANGO AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INSPECTED AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PROBLEMS. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND I THINK THAT THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT CAN BE DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY CAR JERKING AND SHIFTING GOING 70MPH. I BELIEVE DODGE HAS A ERROR THAT THEY NEED TO OWN UP TO. PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS MATTER. *TR

PURCHASED A USED 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH THE HEMI. IT HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES AT RED LIGHTS WITH NO WARNING AND NO PATTERN TO THE STALLING. HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS WHO CLAIM THEY HAVE NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME IT HAS STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY BUT WITH A 7 MONTH OLD BABY I FEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF CONTINUING TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WHEN NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM AND WITH AN INTERNET SEARCH HAVE FOUND THAT I'M NOT ALONE IN HAVING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL WIRES. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE REPAIR, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY FAILED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, SEVERAL SPARK PLUGS, AND COIL WIRES. AS OF JANUARY 30, 2009, ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN CORRECTING THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 MPH. RECENTLY, I MADE A LEGAL U-TURN AND THE VEHICLE STALLED HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THE FULL TURN AND I WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH CARS COMING HEAD ON. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND GOT OUT OF IMMEDIATE HARMS WAY. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY A VEHICLE HEAD ON WHERE CARS WERE COMING AT ME AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THIS IS MY PROOF OF TRYING TO GET A RECALL FOR A VERY SERIOUS...

THE CAR STALLED WHEN DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WHEN VERY BRIGHT, AND THEN THE CAR STALLED. I HAD TO RE-START IT. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT MY CAR, I WASN'T IN AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE FREEWAY (I COMMUTE EVERY DAY ON IT WITH MY CHILD). WE WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO-MECHANIC. HE SAID THE ETS VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED IT FOR $344.16 HOWEVER, THOUGH HE KEPT IT AND DROVE IT, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO HIM AND HE SAID IT WOULD BE HARD TO BE 100% SURE IT THAT WAS REALLY THE ISSUE. IT WAS HIS BEST ANSWER. HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY A CAR THAT ONLY HAS 39K MILES ON IT AND IS 4 YEARS OLD WOULD DO THIS. *TR

MY VEHICLE KEEPS STALLING ON THE ROAD. I HAVE SMALL KIDS AND A SCARED TO DEATH!!! *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS DURING IDLE AND OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN I SLOW DOWN TO TURN. IT HAS HAPPENED THE ENTIRE LIFE OF THE CAR AND NO DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF WORK WHEN MY CAR STALLED AFTER I STOPPED AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ... IMMEDIATELY UPON TURNING, MY CAR STALLED & WOULD NOT START UP. I TRIED TO START THE CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BECAUSE THIS EVENT HAPPEN A PRIOR TIME & STARTED UP IMMEDIATELY THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. I HAD TO PUSH MY CAR BY MYSELF OUT OF THE ROAD (2005 DODGE DURANGO HEMI V8) WHICH IS RATHER HEAVY AND IT WAS A VERY HOT DAY. AFTER PUSHING MY CAR TO THE PARKING LOT AGAIN, IT STARTED. MY CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER I WAS LEAVING WORK AT A STOP SIGN 1 BLOCK AWAY BUT STARTED IN ABOUT 2 MINUTES. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO BRAND NEW,AND SINCE I HAD THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN GIVEN ME PROBLEMS. THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.
