Ignition cuts out while driving even at freeway speeds. dodge dealer had it happen while driving with computer hooked up and couldn't fix it.
Durango stalls without warning while driving. starts back up. no check engine light comes on. rpm's rev up and down while idiling. had computer flashed, but that didn't fix issue. still stalls.
The vehicle will shut off without any warning. no warning lights or anything, the vehicle just stalls in the middle of traffic, brakes or power steering doesn't work when vehicle shuts down. this can cause a very serious accident or death to myself and others around me. help! this happened several times and when i take it to the shop they can't find anything wrong with because no error codes come up.
The sunroof shattered today at 0945 while driving 60 miles per hour on i5 southbound at milepost 114. i heard a loud bang and then the glass shattering.
The durango goes into 4 wheel lock for no apparent reason. the four wheel lock light keeps going on and off and clicking. the auto won't go anywhere untill i shift it back and forth - reverse - forward - when i first try to back it up there is a noice under the hood that sounds like a chain rattling. this has happened several times and i have had to the dealership at least 5 times. they can't seem to find anything wrong with it.
This durango had spewed gas during fill up ever since purchased 11/2006, so i just tried to be careful when filling. april 2012, i had some rust fixed around the rear wheel area on the gas tank side. did not really think too much about it at the time. 1/29/14 i had an inlet check valve replaced at the dealership due to notification from chrysler and they said this could be a safety issue. thought then that this defect is probably what caused my rust issue but i had had that fixed so did not think anything about it....until it started to rust again in the same area. this is a without a doubt caused by the faulty inlet check valve. i believe chrysler intentionally did not notify their clients until the 100,000 mile rust warranty was up. they will not stand behind the resulting damage from the faulty inlet check valve.
Sudden accleration when putting car in gear in drive or reverse on my 2006 dodge durango. i had a 2004 durango that gave me the same problem years ago and when i brought it into the dealer to check it out was told they could find nothing wrong with the car. they said at that time that because the gas pedal and brake are so close together that i probably had my foot on the gas pedal at the same time as i was braking to put the car in gear and that this caused the acclearation. i thought that might be the case until it happened on my 2006 model at least 7 times since i've had it. what is my recourse? *cn
Vehicle is a 2006 dodge durango ltd 4wd vehicle's engine dies at low speeds either while turning or braking. has occurred on multiple occasions. engine always starts up again after occurrence. when this occurs the engine light will come on and will stay on for a period of time (time has varied from hours to days) but will then go off. the first time this occurred i brought it to a firestone dealership who check the car, checked the error on the computer and turned off the engine light. since the warning error was not specific nothing more was done. since that time, it has occurred on at least two more occasions and has nearly caused wrecks because of the problem. *tr
Vehicle ran hot on this date,follwing the next day itshowed no problem. for the past 2 year at a stand still for about 5-10 minutes vehicle gage monitor is going up showing signs of running hot. i would imediately shut the engine off for about 1 minute. then crank back up. the gage would go down back to normal status. if i come to another stop at a stop light it will go up again. took vehicle to the shop several times to get it checked, accessor finds nothing wrong with it. it's a funny thing winter months my suv would never run hot. here in south carolina it is getting hot and the problem has now started again. i have had 3 to 4 incidents with my vehicle running hot 2015 and is sure more are to come. as usual i shut the engine off to make the gage go back to normal. and yes the running hot light does come on. we just don't understand what is going on. i would like to know if there are others having the same problem and what should i do to fix it.
Issue i: stall vehicle was being driven down a sloping road that curved to the right approx 35-45 mph. steering became unresponsive and i realized moments later the vehicle's engine was no longer running. brought vehicle to the dealership. they could not find any problem. i recently went online to discover to my horror that i am not alone. in fact, on one discussion group over a hundred people reported experiencing stalls. i have a pregnant wife. i am concerned that were this to happen to her she would not have the strength to control such a large vehicle without power steering. issue ii: repeated warping of brakes. had vehicle for approx. 6,000 miles when noted pulsation of brakes. at next service i inquired about it and was told the rotors were warped and needed to be ground down. i felt it should have been covered under warranty. dealer declined. approx. 4,000 miles later the problem began to re-occur. i noted problem to dealership at next service. they expressed the rotors are warped. dealership accused me of driving to aggressively as being the only cause. i do not accept this as valid. i am not an aggressive driver. i have seen that numerous others have reported similar problems. i have since read that improperly torquing the lug nuts may be a cause for this problem. i do not think it unreasonable to expect breaks on a new vehicle to last more than 4k-6k miles before needing maintenance. my last suv required one significant break service during the 115,000 miles of ownership. i feel that both of these issues endanger the safety of my family. i feel that neither issue has been satisfactory addressed by dodge. *jb
