ENGINE
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.
