Filed Mar 10, 2022 · Engine, Fuel system · DE

One morning I was taking my 9-year-old daughter to school and our truck just stalled while I was driving. Thank Allah that there was no heavy traffic and no one got hurt. That incident has my daughter scared. I took it to the mechanic they read the diagnostic fixed what codes came up and still my truck is not operating properly. The truck still stalls while driving the mechanic has informed me. I have had my IAC, MAP sensor, TPS, ignition coil, distributor, and canister purge valve replaced.

Come the federal safety agency this is a very serious matter.

V8-287 4.7l durango stalls without warning. Doesn't matter if I am on the freeway or in city traffic. Nothing specific that I can relate to the cause. Immediately lose power steering. Electrical seems to continue working. Car will start back up fine after 5 to 15 minutes of sitting. Happens in hot and cold weather, day or night. Can go for weeks without stalling and then stall several times in a few days. Yellow check engine light comes on, which the manual tells me is not an immediate issue. Extremely unsafe and I fear for my family's safety. Looked at dodge durango maintenance and repair forum on internet and found pages and pages of similar complaints. (http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com and http://www.topix.com/forum/autos/dodge-durango) through these websites it doesn't look like anyone can figure it out, including the dealerships, although the problem seems to be widespread.

One several occasions (more than 3) the vehicle has shut off completely in the roadway with no warning. The fuel seems to be in a vapor lock or the fuel pump is not pumping correctly. There is currently a recall on the 2005 durango for the exact same problem. I feel this may be the same issue related to my vehicle. The mechanic who evaluated the vehicle stated this was the problem and these vehicles were known to have this problem throughout several years.

Our 2000 dodge durango with just over 36,000 miles blew on a trip out of town leaving us stranded. The factory warranty had just expired. The extended warranty people came down and are trying to blame it on us, saying we didn't change the oil enough, (that's ridiculous) we did change the oil, but even if we hadn't it shouldn't make the engine blow, it might make it run like crap, it wasn't really doing that either. After researching on the internet, I found many other people who had the same problem, it turns out it is a part in the oil pump that should have been recalled in 98,99, and 2000 models before they extended the factory warranty in later models. Do they really expect people with these problems to buy a new motor for 6,000, and they don't have to be responsible for any of it!!!! Our durango is still at the dealership, we don't know what to do. Chrysler is trying to ignore us, to trade for a new vehicle, we will lose around 4 thousand dollars and our payments will be more expensive then we can really afford. We still owe $14,000 on that piece of crap. They need to extend the warranty like volkswagen and toyota did when they had this problem with some of their models, or do something!!!! Thank you.

Since ownership of the vehicle two engines were replaced. Front end had been realigned on at least two occasions due to excessive wear on the tires. Also, fuel pump had been replaced twice.
