2005 DODGE DURANGO Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V817000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THIS VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY STALLS, LEAVING NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. THIS WAS NOT A SINGLE INCIDENT; THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 50 TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS. IT HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE VEHICLE SPEEDS, AND HAS HAPPENED IN BOTH FORWARD ("DRIVE") AND REVERSE GEARS. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED, AND IT DRIVES NORMALLY AFTER RESTARTING. THERE IS NO WARNING OR INDICATION THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO STALL, AND NO CHECK ENGINE (OR OTHER) LIGHT COMES ON BEFORE OR AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT HAPPENED AFTER DROPPING MY SON OFF AT HIS SCHOOL. WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT TO LEAVE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND I WASN'T ABLE TO CONTROL IT (VERY HIGH STEERING EFFORT, DIFFICULT TO STOP). I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE. I ALSO REALIZED THE SEVERITY OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COULD HAVE BEEN A CHILD INSTEAD OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH I NEARLY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE EGR VALVE, THE SPARK PLUGS, AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HOWEVER THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,900. UPDATED 4/13/15*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE COOLER LINE WAS LEAKING. UPDATED 04/16/15*JB

ON ANY NUMBER OF OCCASIONS (REGARDLESS OF OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OR WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE) WHILE THE VEHICLE IS AT A SLOW SPEED (IN FORWARD OR REVERSE) THE ENGINE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. WITH THE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER COMES THE NORMAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. IT APPEARS TO BE MOST FREQUENT WHEN PULLING INTO OR OUT OF A PARKING LOT, STOP SIGN, ETC. THE SLOW SPEEDS ARE NOT INHERENTLY DANGEROUS, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT STALLING WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY REDUCING SPEED OR STOPPING PUTS MYSELF AND OTHER MOTORIST IN JEOPARDY. WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITIES CREATE A RISK OF MINOR DAMAGE TO OTHER PARKED CARS AND COULD PUT A PEDESTRIAN AT RISK WHILE BEING DISTRACTED AND NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP OR STEER AS EASILY. THERE ARE NO OBVIOUS SOUNDS OR...

I BOUGHT MY 05 DURANGO BACK IN MAY OF 05 AND I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH ALL THREE OF THE MAJOR COMPLAINTS, THE FUEL SPEWING OUT, THE STALLING, AND THE 4X4 ACTIVATING! THE FUEL THING I ALWAYS NOTICED BUT ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT JUST HAPPENED. THE 4X4 ENGAGING HAPPENED WHEN IT STILL HAD THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT REPAIRED. THE GOOD THING IS THAT THEY FIXED IT, THE BAD THING IS THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY! THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY REPLACED THE 4X4 CONTROL MODULE AND I HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE THEN! I'M NOT POSITIVE IF THAT'S THE NAME OF THE MODULE. THIS WAS BACK IN 2008 AND I HAVEN'T HAD THAT PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HOPEFULLY THAT HELPS SOME THAT ARE DEALING WITH THAT SAME ISSUE! THE STALLING HAPPENS HERE AND THERE, NOT TOO OFTEN...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,200.

TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ENGAGES WHILE DRIVING GOING FROM AWD TO FOUR WHEEL LO. THIS CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE A VERY BAD ACCIDENT. 4WLO LIGHT FLICKERS AND TRANSFER CASE MOTOR ENGAGES EVEN WITH VEHICLE SHUT OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

STALLING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (15 TO 40 MPH). COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. SOMETIMES WILL RE-START IN PARK AND SOMETIMES IN NEUTRAL. CHANGED CRANK AND CAM SENSOR. HAD THROTTLE BODY CLEANED. FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER USED. NOTHING FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT THE DURANGO PROBLEM WITH THE "LEAKING COWL". HAD THE COWL GASKET REPLACED. THERE IS NO WATER DRIPPING ON THE ENGINE CAUSING MISFIRE OR "HYDRO LOCKING". SOON AFTER SUV WOULD NOT START AT ALL. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PCM (MAIN COMPUTER) COSTING ALMOST $1300.00.STALLED TWICE SINCE THEN. DANGEROUS PROBLEM *JS

THE DODGE DURANGO 2005 MODEL IN MY CASE WILL SHUT OFF VERY OFTEN NOW WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURN...THIS OFTEN TIMES HAPPEN WHEN PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE WOULD TAKE UP 5-20MINS TO RESTART.THIS HAPPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD OR WARM IT DOESN'T MATTER.I HAVE SEEN ONLINE THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE DURANGOS AND I'M WONDERING WHY ARE FOLKS ALLOWED TO SUFFER THROUGH THIS ISSUE IN THE MEAN TIME THE DEALERSHIP PRETEND AS IF THEY'RE NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHICH IS CLEARLY A LIE FROM ALL THE COMPLAINT I'VE SEEN ONLINE ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE...GOING BACK FOR YEARS.... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN WET CONDITIONS, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO MISFIRE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASION WHILE BEING OPERATED IN THE RAIN OR AFTER WASHING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC.

VEHICLE PURCHASED USED IN JUNE 2010. WITHIN DAYS OF PURCHASE, VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED AND THROTTLE SERVICE DONE, IDLER PULLEY REPLACED. STALLING PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR ON AND OFF ALONG WITH HARD SHIFTING, HESITATING, LACK OF POWER ISSUES. TRANSMISSION REBUILT IN JAN 2012 AFTER IT "FROZE" BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. BELL HOUSING LEAK DETECTED AND FIXED IN JUNE 2012. STALLING WORSENED, OCCURRING NOT ONLY FROM START UP BUT WHILE TRAVELING STRAIGHT IN ACCELERATION TO SPEEDS JUST ABOVE 40 MPH. REVVING IN PARK, NEUTRAL AND WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC STARTED IN EARLY 2013 AND CONTINUES TODAY. HAVE HAD VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WITH NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM. TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH, WATER PUMP, FUEL INJECTOR, COIL, VACUUM SENSOR, AIR INTAKE SENSOR, KNOCK SENSOR, PCV VALVE, PLUGS AND WIRES HAVE ALL BEEN...

MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I CAN'T STEER THE VEHICLE BECAUSE EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM VERY CONCERNED. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FROM PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT OFF/STALLED WITH NO WARNING. DASH LIGHTS TURNED OFF, BRAKES WOULDN'T WORK. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, COMPLETELY FROZE UP. WAS UNABLE TO USE BRAKES, STEERING WHEEL WAS ALSO AFFECTED. WAS VERY SCARY AS WE WERE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. *TR

ENGINE WILL WITHOUT WARNING LURCH FORWARD. IT WILL ALSO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN MAKING STEERING AND BRAKING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THIS VEHICLE HAD NO CODES SHOWING AND REPAIR SHOP CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM THIS LURCHING OF THE VEHICLE HAS OCCURRED ALMOST DAILY. AND HAS COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN TWICE. I DRIVE WITH TWO KIDS IN THE CAR AND THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEIR ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS CIRCLING TO THE LEFT AROUND A BUILD TO PARK AND DOING ABOUT 5 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY BUT STALLED AGAIN AS I TURNED RIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT. ANOTHER STALL HAPPENED IN THE AFTERNOON AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PARK STRAIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT. A FOURTH STALL HAPPENED WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WITH THE FOURTH STALL, I NOTICED THAT THE TACHOMETER SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM ABOUT 700 RPM (WHERE IT USUALLY IDLES) TO ABOUT 300 RPM, HOVERED THERE FOR A MOMENT AND THEN STALLED. *TR

WHEN I'M DRIVING IN TRAFFIC (APPROX 30-45 MPH) OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT, MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF. THERE'S NO INDICATION THIS WILL HAPPEN. NO LIGHTS FLASH OR ANYTHING. THE TRUCK SIMPLY STOPS. I TAKE IT TO MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM--BUT THEY RECOGNIZE THERE'S A PROBLEM. I'M FEARFUL FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE AND/OR ANYONE WE ENCOUNTER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC, AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP AS WELL. I'VE HAD THE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSHED, TRANSMISSION REPLACED TO NO AVAIL. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS THING?! THERE SURE SHOULD BE! I'M SURE SOMEONE HAS DIED BY NOW DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. *TR

WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT COULD BE THE INTERSTATE OR IN TOWN, DOING 30 TO 55 MILES PER HOUR DEPENDING ON WHERE I AM, MY HUSBAND'S ENGINE LIGHT WILL TURN ON IN HIS 2005 DODGE DURANGO AFTER THE WHEEL BEGINS STIFFENING AND MY LIGHTS ALL SHUT OFF AND I AM COSTING INTO OPPOSING TRAFFIC LANE OR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WITH MY 4 CHILDREN AND MYSELF, SOMETIMES IT IS JUST ME AND ONCE IT WAS WITH MY HUSBAND AND CHILDREN. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY SOLID AND ALL OF THIS HAPPENS AFTER WHEN SUV WILL CUT OFF WITH NO WARNING, INSTANTLY MY STEERING WHEEL GETS STIFF AND I CANNOT TURN, MY LIGHTS GO OFF AND THE RADIO AND HEADLIGHTS SHUT OFF. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. THIS US HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THIS ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM COMING TO A...

VEHICLE MISFIRES DURING ACCELERATION. ALMOST CAUSED VEHICLE TO BE REAR ENDED PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. AFTER HAVING IT LOOKED AT BY THE DEALER, FOUND OUT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM. IT STEMS FROM A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE RAIN COWL THAT ALLOWS WATER TO PASS THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER OPENING WHERE IT RUNS ONTO THE ENGINE AND POOLS IN THE SPARK PLUG HOLES, CAUSING A SHORT. CHRYSLER REDESIGNED THE COWL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT NOTIFY OWNERS OR RECALL THE VEHICLES TO FIX THE ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE OIL AND ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 156,800.

DURING NOVEMBER 2013, I DROVE MY VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES FROM MY HOUSE TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE. I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES PER HOUR AS I APPROACHED MY FRIEND'S HOUSE AND THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WITH THE GEAR SHIFT IN DRIVE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED ON THE IGNITION TO GET THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN. *JS

DURING MARCH 2014, I WAS DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO ON THE HIGHWAY. AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT. PRIOR TO THIS THIRD INCIDENT, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE DEALERS AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. *JS

BETWEEN THE END OF NOVEMBER 2013 AND THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER 2013, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS I APPROACHED THE TOLL BOOTH. AS I SLOWED DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AS I ROLLED ALONG AND TURNED ON THE IGNITION TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS. *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON 65 HWY NORTH IN MISSOURI AND FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE DURANGO STALLED AND I LOST ALL POWER MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO MAINTAIN MY LANE I HAD JUST RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND STILL HAD ABOUT 1000 MORE MILES BEFORE I NEEDED A NEW CHANGE IT WAS A SCARY EXPERIENCE I COULD NOT RESTART THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL I FINALLY GOT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT IT RESTARTED HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME UNDER 25 MILES PER HOUR OR IT WOULD STALL AGAIN IT WAS VERY UNSAFE AND ENDANGERED ME MY WIFE AND MY 3 CHILDREN. *TR

JUST PURCHASED MY 2005 DURANGO 5.7 HEMI LIMITED USED AT THE END OF 2013. HAVE HAD IT FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. AFTER HAVING IT FOR A MONTH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE NEXT DAY MY DURANGO STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 40-45 MILES AN HOUR IN DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO!! I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST BAD GAS BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. BUT IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING ABOUT 10 TIMES. MY FRIEND HOOKED IT UP TO HIS CODE READER AND IT SAID MY EGR VALVE NEEDS REPLACED. BUT NOW I'M SEEING ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES AND I'M QUITE WORRIED. I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL TANK. I CAN'T FILL UP MY TANK OR THE GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS HOWEVER, A TROUBLE CODE WAS NOT DETECTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

I WAS ON MY HOME FROM WORK GOING ABOUT 40MPH. I GOT TO A REDLIGHT BEFORE I STOPPED THE SUV JERKED. AND WHEN I PRESS THE GAS PEDDLE TO GO , THE SUV WOULD NOT MOVE. I THEN TRIED TO PUT IT IN ANOTHER GEAR IT WAS ON BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT MOVE. THE POLICE OFFICER THAT PUSHED IT OUT OF THE STREET SAID THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO YOU CAN JUST BE DRIVING THE SUV WOULD JUST STOP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. ON ONE OCCASION I HAD TO NEARLY RUN OFF OF THE ROAD TO KEEP FROM HAVING AND ACCIDENT. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER LLC SHOULD REPLACE MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO. BEING THAT I'M A SINGLE GRANDPARENT AND NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. SO I CAN'T GET TO WORK TO PROVIDE FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 05 DURANGO SINCE 07. MY DURANGO HAS STALLED NOW 4 TIMES IN 6 MONTHS. ONCE IN A HOSPITAL PARKING LOT GOING VERY SLOW. NEXT TIME WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. ABOUT A MONTH AGO I TURNED INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND MADE A SLOW LEFT TURN ONTO MY STREET. IT LOST POWER HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. NO RPM'S NO SPEEDO. NO POWER STEERING NO POWER BRAKES. I MAN HANDLED THE TURN, FLIPPED IT IN NEUTRAL. TURNED THE KEY OFF THEN ON AND I HAD MY SPEEDO BACK, AND I CONTINUED TO START IT BACK UP. I THOUGHT OK THAT WAS CRAZY WEIRD. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NO CODES. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD GAS OR FUEL SYSTEM CLOGGED. I HAVE SINCE CLEANED ALL THEY UP AND SERVICED THE FUEL SYSTEM. THEN YESTERDAY IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN THE SAME EXACT LOCATION DOING THE SAME EXACT LOW SPEED...

STARTED CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT STARTED TO MAKE ENGINE NOISE. TOOK IT TO DEALER. THEY SAID THE ROD BEARING IS BAD. HAVE TO REPLACE ENGINE. *TR

ENGINE STALL WITHOUT WARNING. LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND BRAKE VERY HARD TO APPLY. *TR

HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. INITIALLY MY 05 DURANGO WOULD STALL WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES. HAS PROGRESSED TO NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT AROUND 35 MPH WHILE TURNING THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. OCCASIONALLY THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN TOO. ENGINE IDLES AROUND 500RPM. WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND BASED OFF OF THE OTHER REPORTS, DODGE SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND REPAIR AT NO COST. *TR

WHILE CRUISING A BACK ROAD NEAR HOME THE DURANGO SUDDENLY SHUT OFF LEAVING ME NO LOWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ONLY GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AS I WAS JUST CRESTING A HILL. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GUIDE THE TRUCK ONTO A SIDE STREET. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY UPON PUTTING IT IN PARK AGAIN. AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND THEN AGAIN BACK TO MY HOUSE LATER IN THE DAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT LIT ON THE DASH AND NO OTHER INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A. MALFUNCTION. THE RPMS WERE SMOOTH, NO ROUGH ENGINE. TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK NOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY WHEN RESTARTED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED FIVE TIMES. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO FWD INDEPENDENTLY WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 35-40 MPH. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

I HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ONLINE AS WELL AS 2 OPEN AND CLOSED INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS WEBSITE! WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO IT WILL SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN, STEERING IS IMPOSSIBLE AT THIS POINT. IT USE TO HAPPEN A LOT TO ME. NORMALLY IT WOULD ALWAYS HAPPEN PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. BUT I LIVE IN RURAL WV AND WE HAVE MOUNTAINS AND CURVY ROADS. ONCE I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30-35 MPH AND I WAS ON A CURVY ROAD AND IT STALLED OUT ON ME AND I ABOUT WENT OVER THE MOUNTAIN AS I COULD NOT STEER! WE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OVER AND THERE WAS NO WARNING OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. ULTIMATELY HAVE THE MECHANIC PLAYED THE GUESSING GAME, HE REPLACED THE EGR VALVE AND THAT HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM. JUST RECENTLY IT IS BEGINNING TO HAPPEN AGAIN....

EVERY TIME IT RAINS THE CAR RIDES ROUGH. IT'S SCARY. WE OWN 2 OF THESE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS ISN'T BEING ADDRESSED BY DODGE. TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED IN LACK OF CONSIDERATION BY THE DODGE CORP. *JB

2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI STALLS UPON ACCELERATION. DURING ACCELERATION IN THE FORWARD DIRECTION THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE CAUSING THE MOTORIST TO BE STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR OTHER DANGEROUS SECTION OF ROADWAY. LOSS OF ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO THE EGR PIPE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE. DURING ACCELERATION THE ENGINE WILL TORQUE OVER CAUSING THE EGR PIPE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE BATTERY CABLE THUS CAUSING THE PLASTIC SHEATHING TO BECOME CHAFED. OVER TIME THIS CHAFING WILL WEAR THROUGH THE PLASTIC SHEATHING AND EXPOSE THE BARE COPPER WIRE ALLOWING IT TO COME IN CONTACT WITH THE METAL EGR PIPE. THE CONTACT OF THE COPPER WIRE FROM THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO THE METAL EGR PIPE CREATES A DIRECT SHORT WHICH IN TURN SHUTS DOWN THE...

THE VEHICLE BUCKED, AS IF MISFIRING. IT OCCURS FREQUENTLY SINCE THAT TIME. IT ALSO HAS A STARTING ISSUE. SPORADIC NON-RESPONSE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING WITHOUT WARNING ON COMMON BASIS. NO ENGINE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 133,000. *TR

STARTED DURANGO AND LET IT WARM UP AT IDLE FOR 3 MINS. STARTED TO HEAR A SQUEAK THEN A SLIGHT TAPPING AND NOW SOUNDS LIKE LOOSE METAL IN THE ENGINE. OIL CHANGED EVERY 3-4K MILES. HAD OIL CHANGED TODAY AND NOW WORSE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND DECELERATION, IDLING HARD AT A STOP AND WHILE IN PARK, WILL STALL WHEN IDLING HARD, GAS SPILLS OUT OF INLET WHEN FILLING UP COMPLETELY, SLUGGISH IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 DEGREES AND ABOVE 80 DEGREES, REQUIRES MORE THAN NORMAL MAINTENANCE, SERVICE TECH'S CAN NEVER DIAGNOSE THE CAUSES OF STALLING OR IDLING ISSUES, THINK IT MIGHT CONCERN THE THROTTLE BODY, TRANSMISSION HAS TORQUED ITSELF OUT BEFORE, STRIPPED SCREWS, REBUILT AT 90000 MILES. JUST WAITING FOR IT TO GO AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED. EVERY FIX JUST FEELS LIKE A BAND AID TO THE MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS IT HAS. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE MAKING TURNING MANEUVERS AT LOW SPEEDS WHICH DISABLES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS HAS ALWAYS OCCUR DURING DECELERATIONS, SUCH AS BRAKING FOR A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WHEN IT HAPPEN I MUST IMMEDIATELY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTART IT, BUT LUCKILY THIS HAS NOT LET TO AN ACCIDENT YET. *TR

THE CAR BEGINS TO SPUTTER AND STALL AT CONSTANT SPEEDS, THEN STALLS WHILE RUNNING WHICH DISABLES THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS SITUATION IS PROFOUNDLY DANGEROUS AS IT RENDERS THE CAR NEARLY UNABLE TO STOP. THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN STOP IS IF YOU CAN GET THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL, COAST OFF THE ROAD AND QUICKLY RESTART THE ENGINE. THE ENGINE LIGHT DOES COME ON DURING. I HAVE GOTTEN THIS ISSUE REPAIRED FOUR TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND THE SENSORS THAT CORRESPOND TO THE CODE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE EACH AND ARE IN FULL WORKING ORDER. DODGE IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. *TR
