2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

ON 5/21/05 MY 2005 DURANGO WITH 5.7L ENGINE STALLED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. LACK OF POWER STEERING MADE DRIVING DIFFICULT. I RESTARTED THE CAR, TURNED INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE ENGINE QUIT ONCE AGAIN.

I HAVE AN 05 HEMI DURANGO LIMITED WITH 3,300 MILES ON IT. SINCE NEW THE VEHICLE HAS OCCASSIONALLY DIED WHEN MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS. THE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE PCM FLASH PROVIDED BY DODGE HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON A FIX. OVERALL THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED FIVE TIMES. I HAVE ALSO FILED A SIMILAR COMPLAINT FOR MY 05 RAM 2500 WITH THE HEMI ENGINE.

2005 DODGE DURANGO LTD STALLING PROBLEMS. DURAGO HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF AND ALL POWER STEERING IS LOST. HAVE REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER (PRICE DODGE NEWCASTLE) REPEATEDLY. THEY INSIST THIS IS NOT A PREVALENT PROBLEM. INTERNET SAYS OTHERWISE. PROBLEMS WITH DURANGO HEMI SINCE 2004.

ON MARCH 14, 2005 I PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. TO DATE THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME IT TORE UP I WAS GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCELL THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE COMPUTER LOST IT'S MIND AND HAD TO BE RESET. THE SECOND TIME IT DID THE SAME THING ONLY THIS TIME THE SHOP COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. THE THIRD TIME IT DONE THIS I WAS SETTING AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 15 MPH. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO SHOP AND REPAIRED IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE NUMBER 4 FUEL INJECTION. THE LAST TIME IT TORE UP WAS THIS PAST WEEKEND. I HAD ALL 5 OF MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. I WAS FORCED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND ALMOST HIT BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED IT FROM. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM.

STALLING WITH 2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED WITH HEMI. CAR IS 3 WEEKS OLD AND HAS STALLED TWICE THUS FAR. *NM

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND I FELT A JOLT. THEN CAR LEANED TO THE LEFT SLIGHTLY AND THEN JERKED SHARPLY TO THE LEFT ABOUT FOUR TO FIVE FEET INTO A CEMENT PILLAR. I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS PINNED SHUT BY THE PILLAR. WHEN I GOT OUT AND WALKED AROUND TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE I SAW MY LEFT FRONT TIRE LAYING FLAT PARALLEL WITH THE GROUND, PINNED PARTIALLY UNDER THE VEHICLE. ALL OF THE COMPONENTS OF THE TIRE (THE BRAKES, SUSPENSION, BRAKE LINE, ETC.) WERE STILL ATTACHED TO THE TIRE. WHERE THE UPPER BALL JOINT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE WAS A LARGE CRACK IN THE METAL, AND THE TIE ROD WAS SNAPPED. THERE WAS DAMAGE TO THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE IMPACT WITH THE PILLAR. I AM CURRENTLY IN LITIGATION WITH THE MANUFACTURER BECAUSE THEY WERE SAYING IT WAS MY FAULT. I WAS DRIVING A 2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 2042 MILES ON IT THAT WAS PURCHASED ON 11/30/04.*AK

WHILE TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT, ACROSS A FAIRLY BUSY ROAD, MY 3 WEEK OLD DODGE DURANGO LIMITED HEMI JUST CUT OUT. THE POWER STEERING DISAPPEARED, THE ENGINE WAS GONE, AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ONCOMING LANE. I SWITCHED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND ON A FEW TIMES UNTIL THE POWER STEERING AND ACCELERATION WERE BACK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, MY DEALER CLAIMS THAT THE COMPUTER REPORTS NOTHING IS WRONG, AND I REFUSE TO TAKE BACK THE VEHICLE. MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE LOGGED COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE ON DODGETALK.COM, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?*AK
