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.

We just got another call on this 2000 durango apparently the issues are the same for every dodge durango from 1999 to 2007 vehicle stalls at any speed at any time any where wet or dry common problem on all durangos and no easy fix or solutions not even from chrysler we americans are wondering when you will issue a safety recall on this particular brand model and years or will you just ignore this email until someone's stalls on the 70 -75 miles per hour fast lane of the highway with there kids or loved ones and is killed ?? Come the federal safety agency this is a very serious matter.
The vehicle started making a loud humming noise in the rear end coming from the rear differential at around 30 MPH, and gets loud while increasing speed. Dealership wants $1200 just to install a new one, price does not reflect the $2500 rear differential. Widespread problem, and no action I being taken. Obviously a flaw on there end, the car has not been beat and in pristine condition. Called about this problem, only for them to tell me the warranty expired 10 years ago, obviously but everyone's warranty expired and are helpless because of a problem arose by them.
Vehicle stopped running while driving on highway. Engine shut down to 400 (four hundred) rpms. Pulled to side of highway luckily and engine shut off. Would not start. I have owned this truck for 12 years. Something started smoking and possibility of fire was a major concern.

Since purchase of 2000 (new) dodge durango 5.9l 4 wheel drive, the transmission has been serviced several times at great amounts of cost. I rarely use 4 wheel drive and take care of each required service. On the internet I notice several similar/same complaints. The 4 wheel drive light stuck on and the transmission is stuck in 4 wheel with no indication of going into 2 wheel/neutral or other wise.
While driving in 4 wheel drive I reversed heard a clunk. Thought I hit something saw nothing that I could have hit. Put it into drive and drove for a few minutes had to back up again and found I had no reverse. I was able to get where I needed but found that the forward gears were now not cooperating. Called transmission shops and every one of them stated that it is a common problem for dodge transmissions especially those in the durango. It is a 2000 dodge durango with about 150000. I believe if a toyota or an older dodge call last more than 250000 then these newer was should last longer with our supposed better technology.
