2005 DODGE DURANGO Complaints

2005 DODGE DURANGO 5.7 LITER HEMI. ON FREEWAY, ENGINE STARTED "PULLING" AND "MISSING" AND SHUT OFF. 75 MPH FREEWAY SPEED, EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD A CAR LOAD OF KIDS. WAS ABLE TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL, AND START THE ENGINE (DOESNT START IMMEDIATELY). RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 50 MILES AFTERWARDS. HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 50 MILES OF DRIVING. HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 6 MONTHS. GIVES NO CODES AS TO WHAT IT CAN BE. CLEANED THROTTLE, WORKED A FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN PROBLEM CONTINUED TODAY. ITS GETTING HARDER TO GET IT STARTED ONCE IT GIVES OUT. EGR REPLACED ($500.00), BATTERY (200.00), SPARK PLUGS (150.00), REPLACED FUEL PUMP LAST WEEK (220.00 WITH LABOR)...I'M BASICALLY TIRED OF THIS!!!!!!! CHECKED DODGE FORUM AND THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURED AS OF YET, BUT WHATS TO SAY SOMEONE ISNT GOING TO BE KILLED BY THIS HAPPENING! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I'M ALL OUT OF IDEAS, AS ARE THE DODGE DEALERS AND MECHANICS I'VE DEALT WITH. FOR YOUR SAKE, THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THE LAWSUITS START COMING. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO, FUEL SPEWS FROM GAS TANK EVERYTIMEI FILL UP, AND IT JUST DIES INTERMITTENTLY,IT ALSO STUTTERS AS THOUGH IT HAS BAD GAS WHEN TRAVELING AT A SLOWER RATE OF SPEED. I CALLED DODGE ON THE RECALL BUT OF COURSE MINE IS NOT INCLUDED, THEY SAID HAD TO HAVE PROOF, SO I PLAN TO TAKE A VIDEO NEXT TIME. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO. IN 2007 TIEROD END ON PASSENGER SIDE BROKE WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT AND THE DEALER FIXED IT FOR FREE. IN AUGUST 2011 WE DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS LAYING ON THE FRONT AXLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKE LINE TO RUB IN TWO AND CAUSED BRAKE FAILURE RESULTING IN A CRASH (WHICH IS HOW THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED). THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER ALSO SAID HE PICKED UP A DURANGO THAT HAD THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINT BROKEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE FRONT END OF THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO IS APPRENTLY VERY POORLY DESIGNED. *KB

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, IT JUST SHUTS DOWN. IT WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE DRIVING ANY SPEED (HAPPENED TO US WHILE GOING 55MPH). THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN, LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND TURNING OFF THE BRAKES. THIS WILL HAPPEN ABOUT ONCE A DAY, BUT CAN BE WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWER FOR ME. THEY ARE JUST GUESSING AS TO THE PROBLEM. SO FAR NOTHING FIXED ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN THE PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM OCCURS DURING A TURN OR BEND IN THE ROAD (WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP) THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT. MANY PEOPLE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT CAN FIT THE WHOLE FAMILY, SO WHEN THERE IS AN ACCIDENT IT THERE WILL MOST LIKELY BE A DEATH/INJURY. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, 5.7L HEMI, USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FLUSHED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SAID THAT IF IT DID IT AGAIN THEY WOULD TRY REPLACING THE SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING - MOSTLY WHEN I WAS JUST STARTING OUT, BUT ONE TIME IT JUST DIED (NO WARNINGS) WHEN I WAS DOING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY! NOW MY CAR IS STARTING TO BUCK (FEELS LIKE YOU HIT SOMETHING) AT @ 45 MPH - NOT WHEN ACCELERATING, STEPPING ON THE GAS OR DECELERATING, BUT RATHER WHEN STAYING AT A STEADY RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, MY HUSBAND WORKS OUT OF STATE, AND I FEAR FOR OUR LIVES EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE A LOAN ON IT! I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SAME TYPE OF SYMPTOMS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT BEFORE, NOW IT'S TIME THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THESE CARS AND GET THEM FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE START DIEING! THEY ARE BLATANTLY IGNORING A KNOWN PROBLEM! *TR
