Tl*the contact owns a 2004 dodge durango. While driving 10 MPH, the gear shift sticks while approaching a stop. The failure makes it difficult to stop the vehicle. The failure has occurred four times within a six month period. The first time the vehicle was taken to the dealer, they stated that the braking system failed. A new master cylinder was installed, which temporarily repaired the failure; however, the failure recurred six weeks later. She took the vehicle back to the dealer, but they could not duplicate the failure. The contact currently has an appointment with the dealer to further inspect the vehicle. The VIN and recall number were unknown. The failure mileage was 5,000 and current mileage was 32,000.

Tl*the contact owns a 2004 dodge durango. The contact stated that the vehicle would shift gears automatically. When the vehicle was in reverse, it would shift into drive and the shifter light on the instrument panel would flicker. Most recently, when the vehicle was placed into park, it began to move forward. As a result, the vehicle struck a pole. The contact filed a complaint with the manufacturer. The speed was unknown. The current mileage was approximately 75,000 and failure mileage was approximately 74,500.
Vehicle stalls at low speeds and when turning. Immediately restarts. Had local dealer look at it, but they can't fix the problem. Factory customer service is no help. Have read many other complaints about same condition online.
Engine stalls infrequently at low speeds <15mph at the same time before this happened RPM jumps up-if a recall is closed will it reopen if this is an already known problem.
I kept hearing a ticking and there were issues as for transmission. I took it back the 1st day I bought it and spoke to the guy who sold it to me. Then the guy left to go to another company. So then got someone else and 3more times was told there was nothing wrong.
Veh problem on 1/1/08 -- 2004 dodge durango http://www.datatown.com/chrysler/ 1/3/08: called chrysler dealer ' 1‑800‑992‑1997 spoke to amy (ref 17081406 (id#aj267) she requested the vehicle id no ' the last eight ' I gave her ' she ask what our address was and telephone number ' I gave it to her.

She said to contact the place where we bought it from ' in roxborogh - she said, what problem are you having. I told her that the problem started when I got the recall fixed for instrument cluster. We had wiring harness to the 8 cyclinder. Then the oil light came on. But I did not need any oil ' I get my oil done regularly. Three days later the dodge started revving very high like someone is pushing on the pedal. The car jerks and the engine light is on now. She put me on hold to check the warranty information. Spoke to leslie, supervisor. She told me there is nothing they could do for me ' what you do out side of chrysler is your problem. I told her there is all sorts of notes on line from people having problems with engines and transmissions. She said, there was no recalls on this.
2004 dodge durango with the 5.7l stalling going around corner, almost causing accident. This is a safety hazard, as it could cause an accident possibly injuring myself, family, or others.
2004 dodge durango with 5.7 liter hemi engine. Have been experiencing engine stalling while driving on 4 occasions. There have been two occasions while accelerating from a stop and turning and two while driving at highway speeds. After the first 2 occurrences the truck was taken to the dealership where they were unable to reproduce the event and as a precaution replaced the egr valve. After getting the truck back from the dealership the engine stalled 2 more times at highway speed. Truck is back in the dealership and once again the dealership can not duplicate the problem.
2004 durango limited stalled while braking twice. Stalled once at a stop light. Has the 5.7l hemi engine with 50k miles. Took it to dealer to have it looked at. Was told they could not get it to stall and we would have to keep an eye out for it. Then I found the tsb on line detailing the issue. Thus I find it odd that the dealer didn't know about the issue: tsb # 18-013-05 the federal safety agency action number ea05018.
Our 2004 dodge durango was in our driveway in park, the engine turned off, radio on, both front doors open and keys still in the ignition. The truck had been sitting there for 5 minutes or more till I got my neighbor to help me unload a grill out of the back. My wife hopped into the passenger side to turn the radio down when the truck began to roll forward while in "park". My wife was knocked out of the truck and was hurt badly on her leg and it ran into my neighbor's car then rolled into the street. I ran after the truck to stop it from going any further, I stepped on the brake then looked at the shift handle and it was still in "park".
We recently purchased a used 2004 dodge durango limited. Equipped with the 5.7l hemi. We have owned the SUV for just under 90 days and on three separate occasions the engine has stalled when my wife was backing out of our driveway and shifting into drive. I spoke with a dodge dealership on the phone a few days ago and they offered little help. I intend to call them in the morning and set up an appointment to have them look at it. This is the vehicle my wife uses to transport our two young boys to pre-school and herself to work. This is very concerning to us because the truck dying in the driveway is one thing, but what if the next time they are on the highway or in the middle of an intersection.
While driving (20 MPH) the front drive shaft assembly fell off. Apparently, the four bolts that once anchored this shaft just fell out. The vehicle has only 36,000 miles. I stopped the vehicle and had no park gear so I applied the parking break. The vehicle is as the dealership pending repair.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle stalled while in gear. This had occurred twelve times and most frequently happened while in reverse. This had also happened while traveling 45 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the service dealer four times but the service dealer was unable to resolve the issue.
2004 dodge durango with hemi (5.7 l) has stalled on five occasions. All instances have occurred at low speeds before coming to a stop at an intersection or exiting a parking lot. The PCM module was flashed updated per tsb 18-013-05a and the problem has occur 3 additional times.
We purchased our durango new in 8/04. On 9/ 9/04 the truck started, but died while I was backing out of my garage. We had to have it towed to the dealership. They stated it needed an update performed on the computer system. It happened again on 9/24/04 and then in oct. It had to be towed and they claimed that they apparently did not get the update completed or done properly. We began noticing then that the truck felt as if it was surging or almost skipping a gear. Multiple people from the dealership test drove it on multiple occasions. We were told that we were just feeling more w/ this vehicle because it was such a smooth ride compared to most 4wd vehicles. Does that make sense? We finally gave up. Now on 3/ 25/06 the truck died while in park in a parking lot. That same night it surged as I pulled out into traffic. W/in a few hundred yards I stopped at a light and when I attempted to accelerate it was as if the truck was going to die. On the morning of 3/28 the truck surged and when I attempted to turn the truck it died in the middle of the road. The next day it died on the way to the dealership. They kept the truck for about a week, stated they hooked it up to the computer and it showed nothing was wrong,drove it for about 30 miles during that time w/out incident. Now it has died again while I was pulling into my garage. I am tired of being told there is nothing wrong. A vehicle should not just die while you are going down a road w/out any warning. At no time have we had any lights come on the dash advising of a problem. It is very disturbing to think that chrysler is okay w/ us driving our families around in these vehicles. I have three small children that I tote around in this vehicle and it is not very comforting to know that it will die unexpectedly.
Vehicle stalls, transmission quits. Doesn't work.
I bought a 2004 dodge durango in november 2004. Vin [xxx]. [xxx]. I have had numerous problems with the vehicle, including the vehicle silently ceasing to operate. This has happened 3 times in motion, very nearly causing very serious motor vehicle crashes. 1 occurrence happened while stationary and in park. All of this has happened in the 1st year of ownership. Additionally, the vehicle failed to come out of park numerous times; when placed into drive, failed to engage and would simply idle; and had numerous electrical quirks that are not safety related. Each time we have taken the vehicle into the dealer, simply to be told "unable to duplicate." just recently, we were told chrysler was aware of the vehicle ceasing to operate without warning while driving. We were told chrysler refused to acknowledge the issue or fix it, and have been pressuring dealerships to send the vehicles back out with the customer in the same unsafe and deadly condition. Chrylser refuses to acknowledge us or the problem, and 3 times now my family has been placed in peril because chrysler won't recall these defective vehicles or spend money to fix them.*jb updated 07/18/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
Dt: shortly after purchasing a new vehicle and when descending downhill the automatic transmission slipped. It felt as if it slipped into neutral. This occurred with or without the cruise control switch on. The consumer took the vehicle to a dealer, who test drove the vehicle and determined this was normal. The consumer felt this was a safety issue, and the transmission did not maintain a steady pace. No repairs or corrections have been made. The consumer has not contacted the manufacturer. *ak
Not reporting a failure or incident, just a poorly manufactured vehicle with an inherent problem that the dealer/company was aware of but did not disclose at time of purchase, nor do they have a fix for it. Just a shrug of the shoulders.
Instant stalling, whether turning or going straight. Warm or cold doesn't matter. Dealer has no clue.
This vehicle has no engine braking. Selecting "tow/haul" which takes it out of overdrive does not provide engine braking. Selecting "2" and "tow/haul" does not slow the vehicle on a downgrade. It is dangerous. I have asked the dealer about it and no response. I have contacted chrysler and no response. It is the magnum v-8 with the trailer hauling package. I am afraid to haul a trailer as you would be on the brakes continuously. Nothing has changed in the year I have owned it.
When accelerating from a stop vehicle stalled. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Parked in the driveway which is on a slight upward incline with car running, unloading groceries while kids were watching a video. After 15 minutes I reached in through the passenger side to turn off the ignition and the car released out of park, rolling down the driveway, hit a tree and mailbox. Vehicle was 'clicking' the entire way down the driveway.
Our durango had experienced numerous problems, since we purchased it new in 5/04. The engine surged, it stalled, and it felt like the brakes did not grab in the rear. It also racked up more miles on the odometer, than it actually drove. On 12/16/04 we brought it in to the dealership for a recalled battery cable. The next day the engine caught on fire while driving. It was towed to the dealership, the transmission was replaced, and we picked it back up 12-28-04. On 1-16-05 we had a second fire in the engine while driving. This time it was in the shop until 2-1-05. The dealership overhauled the transmission, but did not replace it. On 2-2-05 again while driving, our durango's engine caught on fire, this time the fire was so big, and so fast my husband barley had time to get our kid out before it exploded, and burned to the ground. It took the fire department over an hour to get the fire out. I had sent a certified letter to daimler chrysler, asking them to buy the durango back under the lemon law on 1-20-05. To this day there has been no response to that letter. My husband and children were almost killed!
Driving 2004 dodge durango accelerator got stuck to floor. Preening the brake, vehicle caught on fire. *bf the incident was due a manufacturer's defect per fire inspection. Other problems were; the electric remote was inoperative, there was a delay in the shift when the A/C was on and there was a lot of water coming from the A/C.
The vehicle slipped out of park without warning. The consumer was able to gain control of the vehicle. *jb an occupant of the vehicle was complaining about the seat belt not being latched properly. The consumer opened the door and reached in to buckle the child safety latch and 8 seconds later the vehicle started to roll backwards, trapping the consumer between the door and the garage bay divider. *sc
The vehicle's radio stopped working. *nm when the consumer tried to change lanes, he noticed a delayed reaction from the time he pressed the accelerator to the response of the vehicle. On another occasion, the check engine light illuminated and the transmission down shifted for a few seconds. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and explained all the problems he had experienced and after a diagnostics test was done, the dealer stated the computer displayed a code and they did not know what it was so they erased it. One month later, the consumer experienced the same problem with the radio and when he attempted to place the vehicle in park, the gear shifter did not go into the park position it stayed in the reverse position. The vehicle went back to the dealer and it was discovered that 2 bolts and a bracket were missing from the transmission shifter. The consumer stated the cruise control did not and a new problem had surfaced. There was a warning light on the dashboard that read pass air bag off.
2004 dodge durango 4x4, automatic transmission, at slow speeds 10 MPH acceleration has a lag until 2,000 RPM at which point the transmission engages and the vehicle lurches forward rapidly.
When driving at an undetermined speed, the transmission light appeared on the dashboard. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealership for inspection, however, the mechanic could not duplicate the problem. *ak after the fifth visit to the service dealer (desoto mall), the transmission light had not come back on. The shifting light had come on and the consumer had taken the vehicle to the service dealer (central maine dodge) and after three visits to them, they found melted wires and a bad sensor. The wires had holes in them. Chrysler would do nothing to help resolve this problem. A transmission sensor was placed in the vehicle. (the shift indicator stayed on intermittently along with all of the other lights & the transmission range sensor rationality wires were damaged and melted on the catalytic converter) also the engine had come on and the vehicle jumped forward. *sc
