2005 Dodge Durango complaints

VEHICLE STALLING.

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

05 DODGE DURANGO W/5.7L HEMI ENGINE. 1,500 MILES ON VEHICLE. VEHICLE STALLED PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. RE-STARTED ON 3RD CRANK.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH ENGINE STALLED, LOCKING UP POWER STEERING. AFTER ENGINE STALLED, AND SAT FOR A WHILE THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK ON OUR 2005 DURANGO GASOLINE POURS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK WHEN IT IS FULL. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FILLER TUBE BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *AK

GAS SPURTS AND/OR SPILLS BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND WHEN TRYING TO FILL UP THE GAS TANK. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE FILLER TUBE, BUT THAT HAS NOT ABATED THE PROBLEM.*AK

ONCE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING MY 2005 DURANGO SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. ONCOMING TRAFFIC JUST MISSED COLLIDING WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO THERE HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ACCELERATOR STICKING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE EXCESSIVE RPM. ALSO THE FRONT END SEEMS TO HAVE SOME TYPE OF PROBLEM, WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE THE FRONT END KNOCKS AND FEELS AS IF THE WHEELS ARE GOING TO FALL OFF. DAIMLER CHRYLSER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE STALLING PROBLEM AGAIN. THIS IS MY SECOND DURANGO AS THIS WAS THE REPLACEMENT FOR THE 2004 (LEMON) DURANGO WHICH DAIMLER CHRYLSER BOUGHT BACK. CHRYSLER STILL HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE STALLING PROBLEM AS THIS SEEMES TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 MODEL YEAR AS WELL. THE DEALESHIP HAD A MECHANIC TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND THE STALLING COULD NOT BE REPRODUCED. THEREFORE NOTHING WAS FIXED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS, HOPEFULLY SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THE CRASH DATA STATISTICS OF HOW MANY DURANGO HAD CRASHES DUE TO VEHICLE STALLING. *AK

GASOLINE SHOOTS OUT OF THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FILLED UP. *JB

ON THE NEW 2005 DODGE DURANGOS V6 THERE COULD BE THE POSSIBILTY OF A ROLL BACK ON A HILL OR INCLINE THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE THE GAS WHEN BEING ACCELERATED AND IT FELLS AS IF IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS AT ANY TIME I RETURNED MY NEW ONE AND HAD TO TAKE A BIG LOSS ON MY PURCHASE AND THEN I GOT A V8 INSTEAD THEY DID NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEGED THE CAR AS HAVING A PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY SAID IT WAS TO KNEW TO MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENT YET AND HAD TO WAIT AND SEE IF THE MANUFACTURER MAKES A AJUSTMENT OR A RECALL. I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO MAKE NOTE OF THIS PROBLEM IN CASE SOME WAS TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DURANGO I WAS AFRAID AND SCARED WHEN I WENT UP A HILL AND IT DID NOT RESPOND RIGHT WHEN IT WAS SUPPOSE TO TAKE THE GAS AND IT WOULDNT AND I WAS NOT EVEN ON BIG HILL AND I WOULD HATE TO HAVE TO DRIVE IT AROUND ANY MOUNTAIN RESORTS IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IN MY OPION, BUT MY DEALERSHIP ACTED AS IF IT HAD NO PROBLEM AND THAT WAS VERY UPSETTING TO ME THEY ACTED AS IF IT WAS SOMETHING I WAS DOING WROUNG BUT I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY KIND OF PROBLEM OR EVERY EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE. SO PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THIS I MAY HELP SOMEONE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE I TALKED TO CHRYSLER REPS AND THEY ACTED LIKE IT WAS NO BIG DEAL AND THAT WAS VERY WRONG TO BE BRUSHED OFF LIKE I WAS NOW I KNOW WHY PEOPLE DO GET HURT BECAUSE OF PEOPLE NOT WANTING TO DEAL WITH IT BECAUSE THEY DONT WANT TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM SO I TOOK A BIG LOSS IN MY PURCHASE BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND ANY ONE TO HELP

RECALL CAMPAIGN 05V034000 CONCERNING FUEL TANK FILLER. FUEL SPILLED OUT OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN REFUELING TO FULL. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK

WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN, WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE IT STALLS OUT , DEALERSHIP FLASH A NEW PROGRAM IN THE COMPUTER, HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT A WEEK LATER AFTER THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED , ALSO STALLS WHEN YOU FIRST START THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE. *JB

EACH TIME WE FILL THE FUEL TANK OF OUR 2005 DODGE DURANGO THE TANK OVER FLOWS AND FUEL COMES POURING OUT AROUND THE REFUELING NOZZLE AND SPILLS OUT ONTO THE CAR AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS SITUATION IN THAT AT LEAST HALF A GALLON OF FUEL THAT SPIILLS OUT THAT COULD IGNITE AND SPREAD TO THE FUEL TANK AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. FORTUNEATELY IT IS WINTER NOW, BUT IN THE SUMMER THE CHANCES OF FIRE AND EXPLOSION ARE MORE LIKELY. THE CAR IS A NEW MODEL FOR DODGE AND I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIALTEY. I PLAN ON CONTACTING THE DODGE TO IDENTIFY THE PROPLEM WITH THEM. I'M SURE THEY WILL NOT SHARE WITH ME IF OTHER DURANGO OWNERS ARE HAVING A SIMILAR PROBLEM.*AK
