2005 Dodge Durango electrical complaints
Page 7 of 8: complaints 161 to 190 of 198, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling various speeds on normal road conditions, the vehicle stalled and the steering became inoperable. The vehicle was taken in a local dealer who referred the contact to another dealer because the problem could not duplicated. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, who determined there was a misfire in the engine. The dealer was not specific and could not determine the true cause of the problem, but replaced the spark plugs and coils. The type of coils replaced was unknown. The problems persisted on a busy highway during traffic, when the engine stalled almost causing an accident. The vehicle was currently at the dealer for further examination. The vehicle was not included in any recall due to the VIN, however the dealer did not know which component was the cause of the problem.
Drove home from a trip and parked our 2005 dodge durango in our garage at 11:30 pm and awoke at 5:00 am to smoke alarm to find the inside of our truck on fire. Had our car windows been down, my 2 sons, my husband and myself would be dead. It looks as if something overheated behind the steering wheel inside the dash and ignited.
I purchased a 2005 dodge durango from delamaker dodge, watertown, ny, in dec of 2005. The vehicle had 218 miles on it. A few weeks later I was involved in an accident and hit a tree and telephone pole. Dealmaker and the insurance company determined that the vehicle would not be totaled, but rather repaired. I have had nothing but problems with the vehicle. My biggest comcern is that the vehicle shuts off on me while operating. I have contacted chrysler and I am told that they can do nothing because it is a repair issue. Dealmaker states that it is manufacture defect. Most recently dealmaker drove my vehicle for 3 weeks and put 500 miles on it, but found no trouble. Two hours after I picked the vehicle up it shut off on me and the check engine light came on. Both are issues that have been ongoing and both were the reason they had my vehicle. The main computer shorted out and was replaced a few months ago. I was told that was a manufacturer defect as well.
I have 2 2005 dodge durango's one was in a head on collision and was totaled it help save my life. So I purchased the same auto again but red, the problem with this one is that it will stall out for no reason. It will start again but it continues to do the same thing I have had it at the dealership more than 4 times for the same thing this time twice in one week and they had to keep it over the holiday weekend. You buy a new auto and expect it to be safe and run.
Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle suddenly stalled in traffic on four occasions. Speed does not appear to play a role, as it was different each time. This is the fourth incident within one year. There was no warring prior to each incident. The vehicle restarted immediately. The dealership has been unable to duplicate the problem.
Pulling up to a stop sign/light or turning into a parking lot/side street, the vehicle's power dies and engine stops. I have to roll to get out of the way with no power steering or brakes, turn on my hazards so other cars can go around me and know something is wrong, and try and get out of way. There are no warning signs, the car just dies. It takes several attempts to restart before car starts up again. The problem started very quickly after car was bought and happened 4 times. I brought it into dealer and they "reflashed" the computer. It has been ok for a while, but a few weeks ago it died once again.
Dt*: the contact stated while the vehicle was parked in a parking lot for about 10 minutes, a fire erupted from the driver's side dash panel area. Although the occupants were not present when the fire began, a bystander noticed a fire and attempted to extinguish the fire with a fire extinguisher. The fire department was contacted and a report was taken. There was extensive damage to the inside instrument cluster and dash panel area. An insurance investigator determined there was a redundant capacitor on the pc board of the dash panel area. Updated 5/10/2006 -
Coming to quick stop at a traffic light my 2005 dodge durango stalled. It restarted without any problem.
Bought vehicle 11/30/2005-used with 11,411 miles on vehicle from dealership. Dodge chrysler jeep of winter haven, 299 cypress gardens blvd. Winter haven florida 33880. 12/9/2005 first occurrence. Idiot lights on dash on, same lights everytime(ABS,brake,air bd,traction,check engine, speedometer,odometer,heater,A/C quits working. From 12/9/2005 to 2/7/2006 vehicle has been back to dealer 10 times for repair, the last time the vehicle was there 6 days, dealership cannot/will not repair vehicle.
I bought a 2005 dodge durango in june 2005. The first 9000 miles were great. No problems. In october 2005 the headlights/fog lights started to go on and off by themselves. The dealership moved the inspections sticker. Did not resolve the problem. They then replaced the sensors and switched, did not correct the problem, they then replaced the circuit board, did not correct. They then had a tech from the factory look at the vehicle. They replaced the module. I picked up the car yesterday and on my way home from the dealer the lights went on and off again. I have sent the lemon law card to chrysler. I contacted chrysler again today about this issue. They basically have stated that it is up to the district manager to resolve this problem. I am waiting once again for him to call me back. The horn also blows by itself (this has happened twice), the radio has turned itself on and off by itself twice, the passenger side airbag light has came on when it should not and the drivers side airbag showed that it had deployed when in fact it did not. The outside temperature gauge on the overhead console did not work correctly (only one time.) I feel that I have been more then patient with these recurring problems. They have put a co-pilot on the car to no avail.
2005 dodge durango engine stalled. *ts *ref 10156266 during a sharp right turn the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer installed a software patch but that did not solve the problem. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where they installed a front power train control module and some secondary unit which was supposed to fix the problem. Three days later the vehicle stalled again while driving in a parking lot.
Incorrect mileage recorded by odometer: 2005 dodge durango - my self and several other owners of the dodge durango have complained to dealerships and daimler chrysler about inflated mileage reported by the odometer and inaccurate speedometer speeds - for the most part, the speedometer overstates speed by as much as 10% or more, which also overstates the odometer reading. That situation helps daimler chrysler to terminate their new car warranties before the actual mileage is reached - most cars indicating 39,000 miles, may indeed still be under the 36,000 mile warranty limit!
Engine stalls
My 2005 dodge durango with the 5.7 liter hemi engine has stalled (engine died) on 4 separate occasions. In every case I was coming to a stop or turning.
Dt: the contact stated vehicle stalled intermittently. The vehicle was towed twice to a certified dealership. Diagnostic testing was done. However, no codes were captured. The dealer reprogrammed the software twice. This has not solved the problem. The vehicle is in the dealership awaiting additional software updates.
While reversing out of driveway, my 2005 dodge durango with 2200 miles stalled and could not be started for another 10 minutes. All electrical and power shut off. Had to push the vehicle out of the middle of the street.
While driving 20 MPH on a straight road on11/21/05 during a rain storm the ABS light came on, thjen the air bag light came on, then the brake warning light, then the check engine, and finally all the warning light were on. They would not go off. The car did not stall. After shutting the engine down and restarting a few times all went out except the check engine. It went out a day later.
Dt: the airbag light continued to come on. The vehicle has been to the dealer numerous times. There have been no crashes. This was a brand new vehicle. Repairs were done on the ignition switch and instrument cluster. This was thought to be related to the reason why the air bag light continued to come on. The air bags had not deployed. The light for the passenger's side airbag and the driver's side continued to illuminate intermittently. The vehicle is currently at the dealer for this problem. *ak updated 12/27/05.
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.
Without warning, vehicle stalled with total loss of engine power, steering, brakes, lighting, etc... Was able to put in park and re-start vehicle. Occurred twice with a 5 week period; once on a warm sunny day while making 3 point turn and again on rainy day while making a right turn. Luckily I was going slow enough that I was able to avoid oncoming vehicles. Thus far the dealer has not been able to find the cause of the problem. They have however cleaned the throttle body and adjusted the idle. Tomorrow they will replace an o ring in the transmission. I am concerned that although I have been able to avoid a collision so far, I may not be so lucky as treacherous winter driving conditions approach. Note: I have done some research on various internet forums and it seems that this is a common problem with the durango and the ram 1500 with hemi engines and in all cases the mechanics have been unable to find the cause.
Vehicle stalled at a stop. No dash warning lights illuminated at stall. Second time this has happened. Vehicle taken to dealer for service after first incident. Dealer stated that they cleared fault codes and drove for fifteen miles with no problem first time. I am taking back to a different dealer now.
My wife was driving my daughter to pre-school, and she was crossing and turning at an intersection. Suddenly, with no warning, the engine quit, leaving her with no brakes and no steering. Luckily, she drifted to the curb, but if the traffic had been heavy, she and the baby could have been badly injured or killed. I experienced the exact same problem one day later. I immediately called my dealer, the dodge dealer in bellevue, washington, and told them about the problem. They told me to bring it in immediately, since they said there have been at least fifty similar problems with dodge hemi engines. They fixed it by flashing the chip in the computer. This is a very serious problem, and a recall needs to be announced as soon as possible.
Vehicle stalls when making a sharp turn at slow speeds. This has happened on at least 4 occasions usually when turning into a parking space or my driveway. I brought the vehicle into the dealer and they said they could not duplicate the failure and no codes were present from the onboard diagnostics. The date shown is the most recent date of the occurrence, the first incident happened shortly after the vehicle was purchased.
While sitting at a red light on 9/9/05 my 2005 dodge durango with 5.7 hemi engine shut itself down. After getting it started again the check engine light remained on. Took to the dealer who did not write on the service order that the car stalled as I told them. Dealer found no problem, and gave me a sheet stating that computers sometimes have hickups. While at the dealer, I met others with same problem on the 5.7 hemi engines. This motor apparently has a defect.
Engine stalls at freeway/highway speeds causing loss of control - numerous electrical failures - transmission - A/C blows both cold & hot air at same time - power switches getting hot to touch - repairing dealer has been unable to fix - each time it is worked on - problems multiply after they flash/reprogrammed PCM/computer
Vehicle was in gear and either slowing to a stop or already stopped. The engine RPM's dropped below 500 and then recovered very briefly (~1 second) before stalling. The engine was idling very rough during the drop/recovery phase before stalling. This incident occurred 5 times within a 1 hour period.
Dt: the vehicle caught on fire on august 3, 2005. The interior dome light was stuck, and that was the only indication there was a problem. The fire department came and put out the fire. , it originated from dashboard around steering column. The dealership was suppose to have specialist come out, but they have not looked at it yet.
My 2005 dodge durango has an engine stalling problem. It currently has 13000 miles on it. I bought it brand new in dec. Since then it has stalled on us about 6 times at various speeds in drive and in reverse. I have called the local dealership 3 times now and nothing is being done about it. They continue to tell me that they have never heard of this problem and do not know what is causing it. This is a problem that concerns me because I use this vehicle to cart around my very young children so I need some thing reliable. Please help to get this problem taken care of soon.
On july 8, 2005 at 6:30 am, I opened my car door to go to work and there had been afire inside the car during the night, causing extensive damage to the interior. Had the car towed to my state farm approved repair center. After repairs were started, the cause of the fire was determined by the repair shop to be a wire under the seat that was for electric seats which is not an option in my car. Dodge was notified and they said to stop repairs until they sent an inspector to look at car. He came the following week and determined dodge was not at fault and sealed the file and was told to retain a lawyer if I wanted to find out why, otherwise too bad. I found a recall on 2001 dodge rams that was for the same exact problem and 2 reported such fires in 2001 durangos. My case is not an isolated incident and dodge refuses to take care of the problem. The federal safety agency id is 01v253000. Obviously dodge did nothing to correct the problem and has not recalled the 2002 dodges. Please help me. Valerie davis.
