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.

'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 RPM GAUGE. IT'S LIKE BOTH IDLE AND SHIFT ARE AFFECTED CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SERVICED REGULARLY, TUNEUPS, ETC. HOWEVER DESPITE STAYING ON TOP OF ALL VEHICLE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS THE VEHICLE STILL RUNS POORLY AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT AT 78,000 MILES. IT'S NOW GOT 113K ON IT AND I HONESTLY THINK THE VEHICLE IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS THE MANUFACTURING COMPANY TO ADDRESS ALL OF THESE ISSUES! THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND THE PARTS REPLACED IT CONTINUES TO STALL OUT AND SHIFT INCORRECTLY THERE'S 18 TROUBLE CODES THAT KEEP COMING UP INCLUDING THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH REALLY DOESN'T SEEM TO FIT WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON. NO TROUBLE CODES FOR THE FUEL TANK SHOOTING GAS OUT OF THE INLET PIPE THAT LEADS TO GAS TANK. THIS STALLING AND LOSS OF POWER HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS ON THE FREEWAY, CITY DRIVING, OR LITERALLY PARKED OR SLOWING DOWN FROM ANY SPEED. ANY KIND OF WEATHER CONDITION. PROBLEM STARTED 8/01/2014 TO PRESENT DAY.

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.

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 TOOK IT TO THE NEXT SHOP AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME ANYTHING BECAUSE IT NEVER DIED OR ACTED UP IN THEIR CARE. SO THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT DOES IT AGAIN. THE [XXX] THING DIED TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE SHOP. THE GUYS AT THE SHOP TOLD ME TO GO FILL UP MY GAS TANK AND PUT FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER IN IT. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEMS MAKING IT HOME OR TO WORK THE NEXT DAY. I WAS HEADED TO LUNCH THE NEXT DAY AND IT DIES BEFORE I EVEN LEAVE THE WORK PARKING LOT. I DRIVE HOME AND IT DIES TWICE, ALL ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP. I LIVE MAYBE 5 MINUTES AWAY FROM MY JOB AND MY GAS TANK WENT FROM FULL TO HALF A TANK JUST BY GOING TO WORK AND HOME. TODAY, I LEFT WORK AND MADE IT A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM HOME WHEN IT DIED AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP!! I HAD TO TOW MY CAR HOME. THE DODGE HOUSE SAYS ITS 150.00 DOLLARS TO JUST PULL THE CAR INTO THEIR BAYS AND WHEN IT DOESN'T SHOW CODES OR THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON, THEY CAN NOT DO ANY THING FURTHER AND SEND ME ON MY WAY. THEY OBVIOUSLY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS DEATH TRAP AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT.

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 DRIVERHRU AND I HAVE TO CREEP ALONG AND STOP AND GO. WOULD LOVE FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED. I WILL EVEN PAY FOR IT, I JUST WOULD LIKE IT TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT'S DANGEROUS.

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. THERE HAS BEEN NO INDICATION THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED. I HAVE BEEN ON HIGHWAYS OR VERY HIGHLY TRAVELED ROAD WAYS. EACH TIME, I HAVE HAD TO STOP AND RESTART THIS TRUCK. ONCE IT THREW A RANDOM MISFIRE CODE, BUT HAS NOT HAD A CODE SINCE. WE HAVE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND THE 02 SENOR, BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. 90+ PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING AND ALMOST WRECKING. THAT IS HOW I FOUND THIS SITE. THIS NEEDS TO BE HANDLED IN THE UTMOST URGENCY. THIS IS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE AND IT WORRIES ME EACH TIME I HAVE TO GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OR HAVE MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THE TRUCK. THIS PUTS EVERYONE'S LIVES AT RISK. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR TO EVEN TRADE THIS ONE IN ON SOMETHING. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO SPEND GUESSING AT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK.. DODGE NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND FIND OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. DODGE PAYING TO FIX THIS IS A LOT BETTER THEN PAYING SOMEONE'S FAMILY THAT HAS BEEN BADLY HURT OR KILLED BY SOMEONE TRYING TO OVERLOOK THIS.

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 THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AFTER HAVING A TUNE UP ON THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER RESEARCHING, I HAVE FOUND THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I HAVE PRINTED OFF FROM SEVERAL SITES THE COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHRYSLER/DODGE. I HAVE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FINDING THAT THE ISSUE IS THE EGR SYSTEM. THE SAME THING WITH THE AIR BAG ISSUE THAT I'M RECEIVING, I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND GET AN ALERT THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS TURNED OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. THERE IS TWO RECALLS IN PLACE NOW FOR AIR BAG ISSUES. I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU WILL INVESTIGATE THIS AND REACH OUT TO CHRYSLER TO GET THIS RESOLVED FOR CONSUMERS. *TR

VEHICLE WOULD HIGH IDLE THEN WHEN PUT IN GEAR IT WOULD NOT TAKE GAS AND WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN EVEN AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND TURNING THE KEY OFF AND TAKING IT OUT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM I WOULD LIKE AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE PLEASE THIS SCARES ME ALOT. *TR

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 STRUCK. A QUICK WEB SEARCH PRODUCED RESULTS SHOWING OTHER DRIVERS OF DODGE DURANGOS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME STALLING PHENOMENON, SO I'M CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE, AND NOT JUST A SINGLE CASE OF MY VEHICLE BEING BAD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS FURTHER, AS IT HAS THE SAME SAFETY IMPLICATIONS AS THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES WITHIN GM. *TR

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 ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION NOISES OR VIBRATIONS OR ANYTHING TO GIVE WARNING THAT THIS COULD OCCUR. *TR

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 AND USUALLY WHEN I'M AT A STOP SIGN. I LOVE MY DURANGO, JUST HATE THE WAY DODGE IS JUST LEAVING ALL ITS CUSTOMERS ON THEIR OWN WHEN THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS FOR ALL THESE ISSUES!! ACTING LIKE THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THOSE PROBLEMS WHEN EVERY OWNER HAS THE SAME ISSUES! ILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN! AND IT SUCKS BECAUSE IM LOOKING INTO BUYING A NEW CAR, AND I LIKE THE NEW DURANGO. BUT THERE'S NO WAY I'LL BUY DODGE, OR CHRYSLER FOR THAT MATTER! *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

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 STOPLIGHT OR A STOP SIGN OTHER TIMES WHEN I'M COMING OUT OF A STOP AND THE SUV IS STILL RUNNING AT THAT TIME. VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. NO WARNINGS, HE HAS HAD THE SUV 1 YEAR. *TR

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.

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 EVERYWHERE!! I NOTICED THERE IS NO METAL PIECE THAT CLOSES OFF WHEN YOU PULL THE NOZZLE OUT. ALSO MY IN DASH NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM/CD PLAYER/RADIO QUIT WORKING. SCREEN ON IN DASH CONSOLE IS JUST LINES. NOW MY BLUE TOOTH IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR ONLY WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. HAVE TO CLOSE THE REAR HATCH TWICE FOR CARGO LIGHT WARNING ON DASH TO GO OUT. CHARGER PORT IN FRONT PANEL STOPPED WORKING ON THE SECOND DAY I OWNED IT. SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE SOME MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES HERE!! I OWNED A DODGE DAKOTA YEARS AGO AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT!! I'M REALLY SURPRISED AT THE FACT THAT DODGE IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THESE ISSUES. I WILL BE CONTACTING A DEALER FOR THE RECALL ISSUES AND WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE READ MORE THAN ONE COMPLAINT ON HERE THAT THE DEALERSHIPS AREN'T HONORING THE RECALLS.

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 MANEUVER. THIS TIME I HAD MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK.

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. THIS INVESTIGATION NEEDS TO BE REOPENED! MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. MY DURANGO HAS 3 VERY COMMON ISSUES WITH LOTS OF OTHER FOLKS THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED: 1. THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 2. THE FUEL LEAKING OUT AS YOU ARE FILLING IT WAS GAS! THEY SAY MY CAR IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY TO FIX IT. 3. 4 LOCK KICKS IN ON ITS OWN AS YOU ARE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!

Mileage: 134,000

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 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ANY ENGINE CONTROL FUNCTIONS. IN SOME INSTANCES THIS SHORT CAN CAUSE THE BATTERY CABLE TO HEAT UP ENOUGH TO CATCH THE PLASTIC INSULATION ON FIRE AND POSSIBLY LEAD TO BATTERY EXPLOSION.

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

I HAVE HAD MY CAR STALL/DIE ON ME NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. I HAVE HAD THE EGR VALVE REPLACED, THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTERS CHANGED AND THEY DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHILE I AM DRIVING AND SLOW DOWN TO TURN OR SLOW DOWN TO TURN INTO A PARKING SPOT, THE ENGINE WILL DIE/STALL. I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN RESTART IT. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD TO PREVENT A FEW ACCIDENTS FROM HAPPENING. IT HAPPENED ONE TIME I WAS TURNING ONTO ANOTHER STREET INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I AM FRIGHTENED FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY. I HAVE READ SO MANY OF THE EXACT SAME COMPLAINTS BY OTHER OWNERS AND WONDER WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS YET?? ARE WE WAITING UNTIL PEOPLE DIE IN CAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE LACK OF CONCERN? THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE FROM WORK, OIL LIGHT COME ON. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE LEVEL ON THE DIPSTICK WAS IN THE SAFE ZONE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC THAT TOLD METH THE MOTOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. I NEVER HAD ANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO UNTIL THEN. OIL WAS ALWAYS CHANGED AT 3,000 MILES. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THERE IS SLUDGE BUILD UP BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN/ANGLE OF THE PORTS THAT DOESN'T ALLOW THE OIL TO MOVE FREELY. APPARENTLY IS THIS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS, NO ONE HAS THE MONEY TO PUT ALMOST $4,000 INANOTHER ENGINE. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING BACK INTO TOWN FROM A FAMILY VISIT. WE SLOWED DOWN COMING BACK INTO TOWN AND MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHEN WE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE TRIED TO START IT BACK UP HOWEVER MY VEHICLE KEPT STALLING OUT. I TOOK IT TO THREE DIFFERENT PLACES INCLUDING THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAD ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY KEPT TELLING ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AFTER OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THE DEALERS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED MORE AT THE OTHER TWO PLACES TO THIS DAY IT STILL CUTS OUT AND STALLS OUT WHEN I AM DRIVING IT. NOW BECAUSE IT IS A HAZARD WE DO NOT DRIVE IT AT ALL AND IT IS PARKED IN OUR BACK YARD WAITING FOR A MIRACLE TO HAPPEN...THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. SINCERELY VERY FRUSTRATED. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AT A LOW SPEED COMING INTO A TURN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT MOST DURANGO OWNERS HAD LUCK WITH FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING AND/OR EGR VALVE REPLACEMENTS. I DID BOTH, AND THE VEHICLE RAN FINE UP UNTIL TODAY (2 MONTHS LATER). THERE WERE PREVIOUS "INVESTIGATIONS" FOR RECALL SERVICES A FEW YEARS BACK, BUT THEY WERE CLOSED OUT. I HOPE DODGE DECIDES TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION AGAIN.. I DO NOT WANT TO BE PAYING $200 EVERY 2 MONTHS FOR FUEL CLEANING SERVICES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DURANGO AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN DYING WITH NO TYPE OF ANY WARNING. IT USUALLY WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TURNING A CORNER, COMING TO A STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, OR GOING THROUGH PARKING LOTS. SATURDAY I HAD A CAR FULL OF KIDS LEAVING A BASEBALL GAME AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CROSS A BUSY HWY IN MY HOMETOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO ACROSS THE INTERSECTION OF THE HWY MY DURANGO DIED RIGHT THERE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADED TOWARD US...I COULDN'T STEER AND HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY WITH THE KIDS IN MY CAR AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND FRANTICALLY TRY TO START THE CAR HOPING THIS WOULD HELP (WHICH THANKFULLY IT DID THIS TIME). THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND EACH TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE SCARIER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR ONE OF THESE TIMES MY FAMILY AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY AND WILL END UP BEING KILLED DUE TO THE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED MANY FORUMS ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION AND EVEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NOTHING DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CONSUMERS AND HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAS A PERSISTENT AND VERY UNSETTLING PROBLEM OF STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO CORRESPONDING WARNING LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DIES AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO PATTERN OF ORIGIN EVIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC LANES ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE UTILIZED FUEL CLEANERS AND CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ETC. IN A EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY..JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENGINE PROBLEM COMPLAINT WITH THE DURANGO. TODAY, THIS OCCURRED WITH OVER 3/4 TANK OF FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT'S CAUSE ( S ) - THANK YOU - RELATED WEBSITE LINK RE: COMMON PROBLEM - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2005/ENGINE/STALLING_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML . *TR

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING TOO FAR INTO THE INTERSECTION AS A VEHICLE PAST FROM LEFT TO RIGHT. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME MY VEHICLE STALLED. I HAVE HAD IT STALL MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE EACH TIME MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP AFTER THE STALL AND I HAVE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR THE LIKE APPEAR. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS WHEN IM PULLING OUT INTO BUSY FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. *TR
