2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

ENGINE STALL WITHOUT WARNING. LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND BRAKE VERY HARD TO APPLY. *TR

WHEN FUELING UP MY VEHICLE AT THE END OF THE PUMPING PROCEDURE, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF TANK AND DEPENDING ON PRESSURE IT CAN REACH MY FOREHEAD. *TR

JUST GOT MY DURANGO ON 1-14-2013 COMING HOME AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT JUST CUT OFF COMING DOWN A BUSY HIGHWAY WHEN IT CUT OFF THERE IS NO POWER STALLS HARD TO GET OFF THE ROAD THE CARS BEHIND ME DON'T KNOW WHAT GONE ON JUST IN FRONT OF THEM SO THEY DON'T KNOW TO STOP. WHEN I GOT THIS DURANGO NO ONE TOLD ME ABOUT THIS .. *TR

2005 DURANGO HAS BEEN STALLING AT VARIOUS TIMES FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS. THE WHOLE CAR TURNS OFF. LIGHTS....EVERYTHING. MECHANIC, TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST AND CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HAVE NO IDEA WHY. IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS EITHER GOING IN REVERSE OR GOING FORWARD. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU START DRIVING THE CAR BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. IT CAN ALSO GO FOR DAYS WITHOUT HAPPENING. THE ONLY CODE IS A THE NUMBER 6 CYLINDER MISFIRE BUT EVERYONE AGREES THAT ONE CYLINDER MISFIRING WOULD NOT RESULT IN THE CAR GOING DEAD. THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN SERVICED AND SOFTWARE HAS BEEN UPDATED AND IT CONTINUES TO STALL. WE HAVE SPENT $600 ON REPAIRS AND CAR RENTALS AND I STILL HAVE NO CAR. CHRYSLER DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO 4X4 THAT IS SUDDENLY KICKING IN ON ITS OWN, VEHICLE PARKED KEY OUT STILL CLICKING AND TURNING ON AND OFF. THIS HAPPENS ENOUGH SOME NIGHTS THAT IN THE MORNING THE BATTERY IS DEAD. I READ THE FORUMS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE SAYING THE SAME THING AND NO REAL ANSWER. MANY COMPLAINTS FILED TO CHRYSLER WITH NO ANSWER. KICKS INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHILE IN MOTION AT 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 HEMI HAS HAD A VAST AMOUNT OF STALLING. I WAS GOING TO PICK MY SON UP AND THE THROTTLE LIGHT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE THROTTLE LIGHT WAS BLINKING. I WOULD JUST BE DRIVING AND IT WOULD DIE. THIS IS A SERIOUS MATTER AND IF DODGE IS NOT MADE ACCOUNTABLE SOMEONE COULD BE HURT. I HAD MY DURANGO TOWED TO A DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE EGR VALVE. SO I HAD THAT REPLACED ALONG WITH NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. IT WAS FINE FOR A WEEK THEN IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING ON A VERY BUSY ROAD. IT WOULD START THEN DIE. SO I HAD IT TOWED A SECOND TIME TO THE DODGE DEALER. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD IT HAD PULLED 12 CODES BUT THEY WERE NOT ACTIVE BUT JUST STORED CODES. THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE MY DURANGO. I WAS TOLD THEY ALSO CHECKED THE WIRING AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. SO I PAID FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD IT NEVER ACTED UP ON THE MECHANIC. SO AGAIN A WEEK LATER IT DID THE SAME THING AND SO WE REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL. IT RAN OK FOR A WEEK AND NOW IT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY HUSBAND WAS NEARLY HIT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS WITH DODGE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THE DEALER CANNOT FIND WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK .PLEASE SOMEONE HELP FIGURE THIS OUT I SAW ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS ON LINE FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM.AND ALSO WITH MINE THIS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. *TR

HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. INITIALLY MY 05 DURANGO WOULD STALL WHEN PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES. HAS PROGRESSED TO NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS AT AROUND 35 MPH WHILE TURNING THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF. OCCASIONALLY THE RPMS WILL JUMP UP AND DOWN TOO. ENGINE IDLES AROUND 500RPM. WHEN THIS FIRST OCCURRED THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND BASED OFF OF THE OTHER REPORTS, DODGE SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND REPAIR AT NO COST. *TR

DURING FILL-UPS WITH GAS, FUEL SPILLS OUT. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE ISSUE, BUT THE DEALER SAYS OUR VIN IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT FALLS WITHIN THE DATES OF MANUFACTURE THAT THE RECALL STATES. *TR

WHILE CRUISING A BACK ROAD NEAR HOME THE DURANGO SUDDENLY SHUT OFF LEAVING ME NO LOWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ONLY GOING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH AS I WAS JUST CRESTING A HILL. I WAS ABLE TO HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GUIDE THE TRUCK ONTO A SIDE STREET. IT RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY UPON PUTTING IT IN PARK AGAIN. AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE WITHOUT INCIDENT AND THEN AGAIN BACK TO MY HOUSE LATER IN THE DAY. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS THAT LIT ON THE DASH AND NO OTHER INDICATION THAT THERE WAS A. MALFUNCTION. THE RPMS WERE SMOOTH, NO ROUGH ENGINE. TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK NOW. *TR

THE TRUCK EVEN WHEN UNLOCKING THE DOORS OR DRIVING WILL ENGAGE INTO 4 WHEEL DR WITHOUT ACTIVATING ANYTHING MANY INTERNET POST HAVE STATED THIS PROBLEM I GUESS DODGE WON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEY GET SUED. *TR
