Durango is stalling while i am driving it. first time it stalled i was on a onramp to enter the freeway. i was lucky the car behind did not hit me. the vehicle stalls when i am trying to find a parking place and sometimes when i am trying to leave my driveway. it has never happen yet at high speed only at low speeds but i do think this is dangerous. i have taken the vehicle into the dealership twice. it does not happen for them. there are no warning lights. it just happens but it has not happened for them. so i am driving not knowing when the vehicle will stall out. i am under warranty. *tr

Moisture entered into the cylinders via that air intake manifold due to a water seal design defect in the area of the windshield wiper arms. when the vehicle is parked, rain water coming down the front windshield will flow directly under the cowl and onto the engine block. this water intrusion causes undue stress on the pistons, rods, and crankshaft eventually causing a rod to break and puncture the engine block. if this happens at highway speeds, the results could be deadly. the other known scenario is after the car is parked for a period of time (exposed to rain), the cylinder will fill with water, causing a hydro-lock condition and the vehicle will not start. the engine usually is found to also have a bent or fractured rod at this point. this is a known problem by dodge / chrysler and they refuse to do anything about it. see the numerous complaints on edmunds.com blogs and on youtube regarding this topic. i made a video of the problem so you see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtq2gkno0n8. *tr

The vehicle shuts off after you fill it up with fuel. *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 ...

My 2005 dodge durango slt stalls without warning. this has happened multiple times. *tr

This car has stalled multiple of times, with no lights, no warning of it going to happen. this is very dangerous and i have taken it to bob boyd dealership where i bought the car 6 years ago. it now has around 80000 miles on it and in the last few months, it has started to get worse. i took it to the dealership and they told me that they cant do anything with it until the can replicate the problem. the first time i took it there, it was 1 year after i bought it, they replaced the battery as they said that was the problem. was till the year and now the problem is back again. this time more frequent. i have taken the car to them twice now and they give me the same answer, that they cant fix it till it breaks, they have to replicate the problem to make sure they can fix it, meanwhile, i have a car that's not working right and very dangerous. they had the car for two days the first time, and then took it back to them after it stalled driving it home from the dealership. the second time, ...

I was making a u turn and the truck just shut off on me. i had put it on park and restart the engine. i experienced the issue numerous times and have taken it back to car max and they are unable to locate why the vehicle was just cutting off. i recently experienced where the car would start and turn off. just today i was trying to park the vehicle and the engine just cut off.

I was in nyc last week. i was making a turn in the city the truck cut off. a tractor trailer and several cars were behind me. i was able to put the car in park and re-start it. however, if someone behind was not paying attention that accident could have been terrible. prior to that i was driving on the fdr and truck cut off on me again, while in traffic. again i had to put the truck in park and start it up again. i know good and well chrysler knows about this problem because i see too many durango owners with the same problem. please create a recall we and our families lives are depending on it!!!! *js

Engine runs rough and stalls when driving slowly and going around turns. it does not brake or steer effectively after the engine stalls. *tr

While driving my vehicle, coming to a stop, or turning left at slow speeds 0-5 mph my engine stall without warning. no lights light up on the dash to indicate a problem. i have also noticed that rpms fluctuate (increase/decrease) while my foot is off the gas pedal. this is a daily occurrence. i first thought that i had bad fuel and put an fuel additive in the tank to hopefully resolve the problem. when the problem continued, i replaced the air filter, but the problem continued. i am now going to replace the egr, but i have seen that others have done so without any success in resolving the problem. based on the notices placed here and at various other web-sites for several years running, it appears that dodge does not have any procedures in place to resolve this problem. this is a health and safety issue that needs to be addressed. i purchased this vehicle for the purpose of transporting my grand kids, and lacrosse players to and from various events. if dodge does not resolve this problem, and i or someone i am transporting is injured ...
