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.
Dt: engine stalled about 5 different times while slowing down. She started vehicle and it died while she was sitting still. Dealer did not know what the cause of the problem was, and they didn't know if it will be covered by the warranty. Manufacturer has not been contacted yet.*ak update 11/15/05. *jb....contact complained about vehicle stalling. Manufacturer's recall of fuel tank, and airbag light problem. In regard to stalling, the contact was told by the dealership that the stalling problem could not be repeated by service technicians and that no codes were available after computer diagnosis. Then, was told to start vehicle when it stalls the next time and have it towed directly to the dealership. In this way, they would be able to obtain the code for the problem. Also, they told the contact that the idle wasn't correct and they adjusted it appropriately. Concerning the fuel tank recall, after recall service was performed, the fuel tank was replaced. Finally the driver's side airbag light would come on and stay on during vehicle operation. The dealership investigated it and found a wire problem which they repaired.
While driving in stop-and-go traffic on sunday july 17, 2005, my 2005 dodge durango (~1700 miles) engine shut off. I placed the car in neutral (I was still rolling) and was able to stop the vehiucle and restart the engine. I took the car into a 5-star dealership (where it was purchased from) and they kept the vehicle for 2 days. The service department conclusion was that they could find no trouble. I have seen similar failures with this vehicle on the federal safety agency website, so I feel confident that this is not an isolated case.
Had driven 05 durango about 5 miles. When braking to enter the driveway at home, vehicle engine shut off. No power at all. Vehicle has 4513 miles with a 5.7l hemi.
Four times between the months of february and july 2005 my vehicle has stalled while driving at slow speeds. Also, the vehicle would not start daily each morning for a period of two weeks. The vehicle would be jump started and run correctly during the day, however, when left overnight, the battery would be dead. The dealer could not provide an answer for the stalling. Regarding the electrical, they tested the draw and held the vehicle for two weeks. After several days, they indicated that it was an electrical device behind the dash board. The electrical problem has been fixed, however, the stalling continues.
I bought a 2005 dodge durango a week ago and it has stalled out 2 times.
On 4 seperate occasions vehicle engine has stalled for no apparent reason. Most recent event occured on toll bridge nearly causing accident/loss of control of vehicle.
The vehicle has been in for service several times for stalling problems , recently brought in again on 06-20-05 for stalling , vehicle is hard to start then will stall after starting , also still stalls out in turns at various speeds, manufacturer still won't recognize the problem as a serious safety hazard
I purchased a new 2005 dodge duragno limited edition with the hemi 5.7 engine on 2/1/05. Last week, around the 3200 mile mark, I experienced my first engine stall when pulling into a parking place. No lights or other indicators come on to warn you that your car is about to die! The car started up again immediately and ran fine for the next 3 days. Three days later, I was driving in busy atlanta traffic trying to turn left across two lanes of traffic. I had plenty of room when I began my turn, but the engine stalled almost immediately, died in the middle of the intersection with no steering ability, and I almost got hit by several cars and a large truck. The car immediately started back up again. I immediately called my dodge dealership and they said "haven't heard of that before so you'll need to bring it in so we can run some diagnostics". I printed off some of the complaints at the federal safety agency website and took them to the dealer with me. The service advisor proclaimed, "the internet is our worst enemy, don't listen to that stuff". Which to me meant, "dodge doesn't want you to have any clue about what is going on with your car". I told him the information came from the federal safety agency website and told him of the numerous complaints, but he didn't seem to care. Three hours later the dealer called and told me to come pick up my durango and take it to another dealer. His diagnostic machine was broken and he had no idea when it might be fixed! I told him to take it to the other dodge dealer. Still waiting to find out what they may or may not do. I am extremely concerned at the lack of excitement on the part of dodge to fix this problem. I feel unsafe driving my car. I am single, have no family in this town to haul me around or borrow a vehicle from, and dodge doesn't care. I am not very happy about having to drive this vehicle based on the accident I was almost in a few days ago. I guess some people will have to die before somenoe does something about this.
Vehicle stalls inexplicably. No fault codes found from computer. Dealer unable to provide troubleshooting and resolution. 2005 dodge durango with hemi.
My wife owns an '05 dodge durango with the 5.7l hemi engine that she's had for about 5 months. Recently, the engine stalled when she attempted to accelerate from a stop at an intersection. She was able to restart the vehicle immediately without an issue. This was the only time it happened, but I thought I would submit this incident in regards to an article that mentioned this problem in '04-'05 hemi engines.
On 5/21/05 my 2005 durango with 5.7l engine stalled while making a right turn into a parking lot. Lack of power steering made driving difficult. I restarted the car, turned into a parking spot and the engine quit once again.
I have an 05 hemi durango limited with 3,300 miles on it. Since new the vehicle has occassionally died when making low speed turns. The dealer has informed me that the PCM flash provided by dodge has not corrected the problem and they are still working on a fix. Overall the vehicle has stalled five times. I have also filed a similar complaint for my 05 ram 2500 with the hemi engine.
Stalling with 2005 dodge durango limited with hemi. Car is 3 weeks old and has stalled twice thus far.
While turning left into a parking lot, across a fairly busy road, my 3 week old dodge durango limited hemi just cut out. The power steering disappeared, the engine was gone, and I was in the middle of the oncoming lane. I switched the vehicle off, and on a few times until the power steering and acceleration were back. This is very dangerous, my dealer claims that the computer reports nothing is wrong, and I refuse to take back the vehicle. Many people seem to have logged complaints of this nature on dodgetalk.com, what can be done about this?
05 dodge durango w/5.7l hemi engine. 1,500 miles on vehicle. Vehicle stalled pulling into a parking spot. Re-started on 3rd crank.
While driving at 30 MPH engine stalled, locking up power steering. After engine stalled, and sat for a while the vehicle could be restarted. Consumer could only drive vehicle for a short distant before it stalled again. Took vehicle to a dodge dealer, and was informed that they could not find anything wrong.
Once again while driving my 2005 durango slowing down to make a turn the vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. Oncoming traffic just missed colliding with the passenger side of the vehicle. Also there has been a problem with the vehicle accelerator sticking causing the vehicle to have excessive RPM. Also the front end seems to have some type of problem, while turning the vehicle the front end knocks and feels as if the wheels are going to fall off. Daimler chrylser was contacted about the stalling problem again. This is my second durango as this was the replacement for the 2004 (lemon) durango which daimler chrylser bought back. Chrysler still has not issued a recall for the stalling problem as this seemes to be a big problem with the 2004 model year as well. The dealeship had a mechanic test drive the vehicle and the stalling could not be reproduced. Therefore nothing was fixed and the problem still exists, hopefully someone looks into the crash data statistics of how many durango had crashes due to vehicle stalling.
