ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE 2005 DURANGO BOUGHT NEW. I HAVE HAD IT SHUT OFF ON ME GOING SLOW, MAKING TURNS AND GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE HAD TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE GOING DOWN THE INTERSTATE TURN THE KEY OFF AND START THE VEHICLE UP WHILE MOVING. I HAVE HAD IT INTO TWO DIFFERENT DODGE DEALERSHIPS ONCE FOR 2 DAYS THE NEXT FOR TWO WEEKS. THEY DID NOT FIX THIS ISSUE BUT FOUND MANY OTHER THINGS THAT NEED FIXED. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE KIDS. SHE'S AFRAID OF IT. IT JUST SITS IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. *TR

MY 2005 5.7L DODGE DURANGO SLT HAS STALLED APPROX. 5 TIMES SINCE MY PURCHASE IN 2005. EACH TIME VARIED IN DRIVING, I.E., A FEW TIMES OCCURRED DURING DECREASED SPEEDS IN TURNS, OTHERS DURING NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS (65+). EACH TIME, ALL CONTROLS, I.E. STEERING, ELECTRONICS, CEASED FUNCTIONING WITHOUT WARNING. NO ACCIDENTS YET BUT ANTICIPATE THIS WILL OCCUR AS CLOSE CALLS EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND PUT INTO PARK, THEN RESTARTED WITHOUT PROBLEM. OUR DURANGO COMPUTER HAS BEEN FLASHED PREVIOUSLY BUT STALLING STILL OCCURRED.*CN

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL
I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE AND I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL ON. I HIT THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATED. I STOPPED AT THE STOP SIGN. I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON TO THE OVERPASS OVER THE INTERSTATE. I WAS DOING ABOUT 25 MPH WHEN I FELT THE THROTTLE COME OUT FROM UNDER MY FOOT. I HIT THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL BUT IT KEEP ACCELERATING. I HIT IT MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT FINELY WENT OFF AFTER A FEW TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAD ACCELERATED TO ALMOST 35 MPH. WHEN IT WENT OFF THE MOTOR STARTED MAKING THIS HORRIBLE NOISE. IT SOUNDS LIKE A BROKEN CONNECTING ROD OR IT DROPPED A VALVE. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND IT HAPPENED ON THE FRIDAY DEC. 28TH. THIS IS SUNDAY THE 30TH. HAVENT HAD A CHANCE TO LET ANYONE LOOK AT IT. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO DO THE WORK MYSELF. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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 A SIGN ON MY REAR WINDSHIELD THAT READS "STAY BACK VEHICLE ENGINE DIES". *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
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 BRINGING THE DURANGO BACK TO THE SHOP AGAIN TOMORROW TO HAVE IT CHECK OUT AGAIN. *TR
