THEY SENT ME AWAY AND SAID THE LIGHT BEING ON WILL NOT STOP THE TRUCK FROM RUNNING,AND THAT WHEN THEY FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM THEY WILL CALL ME SO AM I JUST SUPPOSED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL THE LIGHT BURNS OUT ?

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM HAD OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES, THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN A LOCAL DEALER WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO ANOTHER DEALER BECAUSE THE PROBLEM COULD NOT DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN THE ENGINE. THE DEALER WAS NOT SPECIFIC AND COULD NOT DETERMINE THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS. THE TYPE OF COILS REPLACED WAS UNKNOWN. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING TRAFFIC, WHEN THE ENGINE STALLED ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER FOR FURTHER EXAMINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL DUE TO THE VIN, HOWEVER THE DEALER DID NOT KNOW WHICH COMPONENT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER READING ROSE FROM ZERO TO 80 MPH, HOWEVER THE ACTUAL VEHICLE SPEED REMAINED CONSTANT. THE VEHICLE JERKED, THEN STALLED COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND LET THE VEHICLE DRIFT BACKWARDS TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALER WHERE THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT BECAME WORSE.*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS THE ENGINE INTERMITTENTLY STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD. IT WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. UPDATED 12/26/2006 - *NM

WHILE DRIVING A 2005 DODGE DURANGO OWNED BY MY HUSBAND, RICHARD FLIPPIN, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY LOST POWER AND THE STEERING LOCKED. I HAD A SMALL AMOUNT OF GIVE AND WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE M/V SLIGHTLY AND STRADDLE THE DRIVEWAY OF A STRIP MALL. I THEN PUT THE M/V IN PARK AND RESTARTED. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A HIGH SPEED...WITH MY CHILDREN...I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT. *NM

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD LAST NIGHT AND ABOUT TO PULL IN TO A LOCAL PLACE TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER. MY ENGINE STALLED, HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AND I COASTED IN TO THE PLACE. I RESTARTED MY VEHICLE AND ALL SEEMED FINE. I DRIVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED HEMI. I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN. I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE THREE MONTHS AGO, USED. *NM
