THE ENGINE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, STOPPED RUNNING. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A TURN. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AS THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS. THE DATE LISTED IS THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, BUT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT WILL STALL AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO (V8 HEMI) PERIODICALLY STALLS DURING NORMAL DRIVING. ENGINE WILL DIE, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WILL FAIL. ENGINE RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH INCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING THE RPMS WILL JUMP AROUND. THEN WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR AT A STOP THE ENGINE WILL STALL OUT. THIS HAS USUALLY HAPPENS GOING ABOUT 34-50 MPH AND IT STALLS LEAVING YOU UNABLE TO TURN. VERY DANGEROUS. THEY HAVE REPROGRAMED COMPUTER AND REPLACED THROTTLE POSITIONER. IT HAS OCCURED AROUND 5 TIMES JUST IN THE PAST WEEK. IT STARTED OUT DOING IT ONCE EVERY COUPLE MONTHS NOW IT WILL DO IT WITHIN FEET OF RESTARTING. I HAVE TO STOP, PUT IN PARK, AND RESTART. *TR

THIS VEHICLE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS SHUTS OFF WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD. STARTED OUT ONLY DURING SLOW SPEEDS, BUT HAS STARTED TO DO IT WHILE ACTUALLY CRUISING DOWN THE ROAD. NO WARNING, JUST TOTAL LOSS OFF STEERING, BRAKES AND ENGINE. LUCKILY IT HAS CRANKED BACK UP AND ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD. I ALSO HAVE HAD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND THE CAR WILL JUST REV UP AND LOSE POWER. I HAVE HAD EVERYTHING CHECKED (FLUIDS, OIL PUMP, RADIATOR, PLUGS AND WIRES ETC) AND FIND NOTHING WRONG. OF COURSE NOTHING WILL BE WRONG UNTIL THE ENGINE BLOWS, WHICH THEN CAN BE FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. ANOTHER PROBLEM TO ADD TO THE LIST IS THE LIFTGATE ACUATOR STOPPED WORKING WHICH HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH. THE PLASTIC GEAR IN THE MOTOR IS BROKE BUT YOU HAVE TO...

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI THAT MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED AT THE END OF MAY 2010. I HAVE ONLY HAD 5 MONTHS AND AFTER THE FIRST MONTH IT STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T START. TOOK 3 TIMES UNTIL IT DID START AND STAY STARTED. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY HUSBAND AND 3 KIDS. LUCKILY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD AND WAS ONLY GOING 10 MPH. SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP AND RESTART IT. IT STARTED UP FINE THAT TIME. THE THIRD TIME I WAS IN ANOTHER PARKING LOT AND IT WOULDN'T STAY STARTED WHEN I TRIED TO START IT. TOOK ANOTHER 3 TIMES BEFORE IT DID. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY, OCTOBER...

MY 2005 DURANGO HAS BEEN SHUTTING COMPLETELY OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING IT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE MECHANICS NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO LOCATE A PROBLEM. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OTHERS AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY SUV WILL SHUT OFF. I HAVE FOUND A WEBSITE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE POSTED EXACTLY THE SAME COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE CONCERNING THEIR DODGE DURANGO'S. THE LINK IS HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/1999/ELECTRICAL/VEHICLE_SHUTS_DOWN_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 HEMI ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. DOES NOT THROW A CODE SO THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MOST TIMES IT WILL RE-START BUT SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE RESTARTING. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE A DAY, SOMETIMES A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK....NEED HELP TO GET DODGE/CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. BOUGHT NEW IN 2005 AND DIDN'T START HAVING TROUBLE UNTIL 2008. *TR

SLUDGE BUILD UP DUE TO IMPROPER VENTING OF THE OILING SYSTEM. THE ENGINE IS BLOWN WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES. NEED TO EITHER REPLACE THE ENGINE OR HAVE IT REBUILT BY A MACHINE SHOP. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 05 DODGE DURANGO WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD IN HIS CARSEAT IN THE BACKSEAT AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT, WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT THE ENGINE STALLED (SHUT OFF) CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS WELL. COASTED INTO A PARKING STALL AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. VERY UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY VERY COMMON IN THIS YEAR,MAKE, AND MODEL. *TR

WHILE COMMUTING THIS MORNING TO WORK, I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, AS I STARTED TO BRAKE, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AT THAT POINT I REALIZED MY ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF AND I HAD LOST MY POWER BRAKES/POWER STEERING. AS THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST WITH NO WARNING - AS IT DID THIS TIME, I KNEW I COULD PUT MY ENGINE INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-START MY ENGINE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN ANY SORT OF SERIOUS TRAFFIC AND HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO GET MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE PAST WITH DODGE AND HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR SLOW TURNS THE VEHICLE STALLS. HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AT LOW SPEEDS. SO WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP LIGHT OR SLOW DOWN TO TURN OR ARE IN A PARKING LOT, IT STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU CAN'T STEER BECAUSE THAT ONLY WORKS WITH THE CAR RUNNING. THIS STARTED RIGHT AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY WAS OVER AND HAS CONTINUED THROUGH TODAY. THEY ALSO DIDN'T FIX THE RECALL ITEM AND I HAVE FUEL SPILLS EVERY TIME I SET THE NOZZLE ON AUTOMATIC AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF. IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF BECAUSE THE GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. NOW I HAVE A SPOT UNDER THE FUEL FILL THAT WAS EATEN AWAY BY GAS AND IT IS NOW RUSTY. *TR

LOSS OF POWER WHEN GETTING ON FREEWAY. ENGINE CHUGS, ROUGH IDLE, NO POWER TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED CODES AND FOUND P0308 AND P2099. CHANGED ALL 8 SPARK PLUGS, PLUGS 4, 6, 8, 3, 5, AND 7 SHOW SINGS OF SETTING IN WATER. FOUND OUT DODGE HAS TWO SERVICE BULLETINS TO KEEP THIS FROM OCCURRING, SB 18-006-05 REV A AND 18-024-06. DO WE NEED CRASHES ON THE FREEWAY BEFORE WE CAN FORCE DODGE TO FIX THIS ON ALL 2004 AND 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH THE 4.7 L ENGINE. *TR

STARTED DODGE DURANGO 2005 AND THERE WAS A VERY LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. TOOK TRUCK TO MECHANIC AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE! IT IS NOT OPERATIVE! METAL SHARDS WERE COMING OUT OF THE OIL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND IT KEEPS STALLING AND SHUT DOWN. EVERYTIME I SLOW DOWN AND GO INTO REVERSE THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE RPM GOES CRAZY, SOMETIMES, THEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THE DEALERSHIP HAS YET TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE GONE BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM AND THEY CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY HAVE FIXED SO MANY SENSORS THEY CAN'T GET IT RIGHT. CAR KEEPS STALLING EITHER WAY. I NEED A SOLUTION. THIS IS A DEADLY SITUATION WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

MY CAR STALLS AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND I LOSE ALL ABILITY TO STEER AND HAS COME VERY CLOSE TO CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES IN THE LAST TWO YEARS AND LEFT NO CODES. THE DEALERSHIP JUST SAYS NO CODES NO ANSWER. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT, 5.7L V8 STALLS WHEN BRAKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE MAY 2007. THE DEALER HAS CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, REPLACED THE BATTERY AS THEY SAID IT WAS LOOSING VOLTAGE AND FLUSHED THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM. AS WE DROVE IT OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT WAS "FIXED" IT DID THE SAME THING, YET THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY HAVE IT. *TR

I PURCHASED MY DODGE DURANGO LIMITED NEW IN 2005. I HAD NO PROBLEMS UNTIL APPROX. 1 YEAR IN TO OWNERSHIP. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT OR WHILE AT WORK IT HAS A SEVERAL SECOND HESITATION. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (3) TIMES THEY FINALLY FOUND A TSB TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION FILTER WHICH THEY SAY THEY DID. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GET A LITTLE BETTER. NOW THOUGH (1500 MILES LATER) MY DURANGO IS HESITATING IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM ( NEVER HAVE ) AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. I HAVE ALSO NOW HAD (2) INSTANCES OF THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF AT LOW SPEEDS. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO CAN NOT REPLICATE THIS AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY DURANGO HAS SPENT ALMOST 2 WEEKS TOTAL IN THE SHOP WITH THESE ISSUES. I GUESS I WILL NEED TO PUT...

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY DURANGO HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AFTER IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO COULD DO NOTHING. MOST RECENTLY IT HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY ON MY WIFE. AT THIS POINT I AM BEGINNING TO SEARCH FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY THREE CHILDREN. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO LOW IDLING WHEN THE CONTACT MADE A HARD TURN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST STARTED.

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, HEMI V8, 50K MILES HAS STALLED 4 TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. (65-80) AND TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE SUV HAS A LOSS OF POWER/STEERING/BRAKES AND IT IS QUITE A CHALLENGE TO COAX THE SUV TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AVOID DAMAGE. THIS LAST TIME THE SUV WAS UNABLE TO STOP IN A SAFE DISTANCE AND WENT OFF IN THE MEDIAN. IT ALSO LOST AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS SO I WAS TRYING TO MOVE THE SUV OFF THE ROAD AT NIGHT WITH NO LIGHTS TO GUIDE ON A BUSY SECTION OF I-90 IN OHIO. THE DURANGO HAS ALSO STALLED 2 TIMES BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN THE LAST 3-6 MONTHS. I HAVE HAD THIS LOOKED AT BY MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THE DURANGO IS UP TO DATE ON ALL TSB'S AND RECALLS. I WILL BE...

WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DURANGO, WHEN I HIT THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF, NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, STEERING TIGHTENS, I HAVE TO PUT IT BACK INTO PARK FOR IT TO START AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 30,000 MILES AND 18 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN TO 4 DIFFERENT DEALERS, AND NO ONE CAN FIND THE PROBLEM. ONE DEALER SAID IT NEEDED A TUNE UP THAT WAS AT 24,000 MILES, SO WE PAID $900.00 FOR THAT AND NEW BRAKES. THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. ONE MONTH AGO, WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND I HIT A PARKED CAR BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED AND BRAKES LOCKED UP. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 2 DOZEN TIMES. *TR

2005 DURANGO ENGINE DIES WHEN CHANGING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE AFTER BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. ALSO DIES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW ROLL SUCH AS AN UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN 5 NEAR MISS INCIDENTS IN THE LAST 18 MONTHS. DEALER HAS DONE A TUNE-UP AND TEST DRIVE AND HAS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ARE PEOPLE GOING TO HAVE TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS? *TR

05 DURANGO WITH 5.7 HEMI STALLS WHEN DRIVING. SOMETIMES WHEN BACKING UP SOMETIMES WHEN COMING TO STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON ROADS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS IS THE WORST SCENARIO BECAUSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ALSO GO. HAS NOT CAUSED ACCIDENT FOR US YET, BUT CAM CLOSE WHEN MY FIANCEE WAS DRIVING. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND HAS TRIED TO FIX AND HAS GIVEN ME EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK. FINALLY HAS DECIDED TO REPLACE CAR BUT WITH HEFTY MILEAGE CHARGE. I WILL FIGHT THEM ON THAT BUT I WANTED YOU TO BE AWARE THAT ALL OF THEIR SO CALLED SERVICE BULLETINS DO NOT FIX PROBLEM. ONE EXCUSE I GOT IS THAT THE EPA WON'T LET THEM FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WILL EFFECT THE EMISSIONS OUTPUT. I REALIZE THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF VEHICLES BUT IT WILL ONLY BE...

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED (5.7L HEMI) STALLED AT LOW SPEED (5-15 MPH) IN PARKING LOTS AND AT INTERSECTIONS. MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE "DUPLICATED." THIS OCCURS ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS UNDER THE SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS DESCRIBE ED ABOVE.

MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, I HAD NO BRAKES, NO ELECTRICAL, NOTHING. THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING. I WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THOSE LANES. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME SO I TRIED TO DRIVE BACK HOME. CAR STALLED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER. I PARKED IT. IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION...
