Engine surge causes vehicle to lurch. First instance was on march 10th 2006. The vehicle was running, I entered the vehicle put it into reverse and the tachometer jumped to almost 2000 rpms and vehicle lurched backwards then stopped. The second instance was on march 28th 2006 my wife was entering a parking space facing a store and reported stepping on the brake and the vehicle lurched forward jumping the concrete parking block with all 4 wheels, hitting the building then stopping. I believe this really is a problem as I now realize that during the first incident I needed to have the brake depressed to move the gear lever from park to reverse. Maybe related to the federal safety agency odi id#s 10112496,10125643, 10141521, and 10152704.
2005 Dodge Durango acceleration complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 43 of 43, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Purchased vehicle in march 2005, and within the first two days vehicle engine stalling at highway speeds while on the freeway. Took vehicle to dealer, initially advised test drove and unable to duplicate. Took vehicle to dealer again at a later date, reset memory. Problem still recurred, back to dealer and dealer reflashed PCM. Additionally, took to dealer accelerator assembly loose and bolt fell out while driving. Accelerator very loose, part not available for 3 days, concerned that may be an ongoing safety issue with these vehicles.
Dt: 2005 dodge durango. The dealership case number is: 4607005. When the consumer set the cruise control and was going down a hill, the vehicle will gain about 15 MPH and the consumer would have to step on the brake to slow the vehicle down. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer and they sent the information to the manufacturer, the dealer took the vehicle for a test drive and the manufacturer said that it was designed that way. So they said apply the brakes when necessary. The local dealer/chief mechanic said that this should not be like this. *jb
