2005 Dodge Durango engine complaints
Page 6 of 12: complaints 131 to 160 of 329, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving my vehicle, coming to a stop, or turning left at slow speeds 0-5 MPH my engine stall without warning. No lights light up on the dash to indicate a problem. I have also noticed that rpms fluctuate (increase/decrease) while my foot is off the gas pedal. This is a daily occurrence. I first thought that I had bad fuel and put an fuel additive in the tank to hopefully resolve the problem. When the problem continued, I replaced the air filter, but the problem continued. I am now going to replace the egr, but I have seen that others have done so without any success in resolving the problem. Based on the notices placed here and at various other web-sites for several years running, it appears that dodge does not have any procedures in place to resolve this problem. This is a health and safety issue that needs to be addressed. I purchased this vehicle for the purpose of transporting my grand kids, and lacrosse players to and from various events. If dodge does not resolve this problem, and I or someone I am transporting is injured or killed in a accident based on the above mentioned vehicle malfunction, dodge will be held accountable.

2005 dodge durango limited, 5.7l hemi v8 stalls while backing up. First time it happened the truck started right back up immediately. The second time on 11/28/11, it took 3 times to restart the vehicle. This has only happened while in reverse. Apparently this is a common problem with the hemis and there is a tsb #0802404 to "reflash" the engine and update the software. The forums state that this is a fix for some vehicles, but not all. I am scared to be in this car with my kids now-what if we stall on the highway and get into a wreck? Please fix this issue! Our safety is my number one concern, and should be yours as well, dodge!
I bought this vehicle used, and started having problems with it immediately after buying it. Gas overflows out of the gas tank almost every time I fill it up. It's going to catch on fire at some point because of this. Also, the engine stalls out at random times causing the vehicle to steer and brake very poorly until restarted. I noticed that other model years of this same vehicle have had the same problems as this one, however dodge refuses to fix this one - even though other model years have been recalled and repaired. This stupid thing is going to blow up one day at the gas station, or I'm going to crash into somebody when it stalls, but I can't afford to spend thousands of dollars to take it every mechanic on the planet to find out what is wrong with it - especially since dodge already knows what is wrong with it - but just won't take responsibility for building it poorly.
Engine randomly dies regardless of speed/RPM. Restarts. No check engine light comes on. No other dash warning lights come on. 5.8l hemi no obd ii diagnostics codes.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact was driving approximately 20 MPH and the engine stalled without prior warning. The vehicle restarted and the contact was able to continue driving. The failure occurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing; however, they were unable to detect a trouble code. The failure continued to occur. In addition, whenever refueling the vehicle to its fuel capacity level the automatic shut off feature failed to engage causing fuel to spew onto the ground. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000. Updated 01/04/12*lj a sensor was replaced. At a cost of $400. 00 updated 01/09/12
Ticking sound and a exhaust smell in vehicle caused me to take my car to a local repair shop to have exhaust manifold gasket replaced. The technician found that a bolt had broken off a was sitting in the heat shield.
Driving in my neighborhood at 35 MPH and the engine turned off completely! I coasted to a full stop, turned off the ignition...waited 10 seconds and then turned the ignition back on and drove off. Vehicle also feels very sluggish especially driving over 55 MPH. You must really push the pedal down to accelerate. Engine shutting off is soooo dangerous. God for bid this will happen when im driving with my children in the car while on the freeway!!!
2005 dodge durango 5.7 liter hemi. On freeway, engine started "pulling" and "missing" and shut off. 75 MPH freeway speed, extremely dangerous situation. Had a car load of kids. Was able to put car in neutral, and start the engine (doesnt start immediately). Ran fine for about 50 miles afterwards. Happens about every 50 miles of driving. Has been going on for 6 months. Gives no codes as to what it can be. Cleaned throttle, worked a for about a week, then problem continued today. Its getting harder to get it started once it gives out. Egr replaced ($500.00), battery (200.00), spark plugs (150.00), replaced fuel pump last week (220.00 with labor)...I'm basically tired of this!!!!!!! Checked dodge forum and there is a lot of people having the same problem. No accidents have occured as of yet, but whats to say someone isnt going to be killed by this happening! Please, please, please look into this problem. I'm all out of ideas, as are the dodge dealers and mechanics I've dealt with. For your sake, this needs to be taken care of before the lawsuits start coming.
Car stalls during idle and cruising at normal speed. Stalling is intermittent. Able to restart immediately. No error codes. Unable to identify cause for stalling. Accident waiting to happen.
First, the cruise control stopped working. Then, the speedometer and odometer quit working when the ABS, parking brake, check engine, and traction control lights all came on. Took it to the dealer to repair the instrument cluster recall, and was told that it needs a new ABS control module and wiring harness. The wiring harness is completely melted, probably because of a short in the control module - at least that's what I was told at the dealership. The wiring harness is on a national backorder until late september, so I am without ABS brakes, traction control, and a speedometer/odometer until then.
The engine suddenly, and without warning, stopped running. This happens at low speeds, especially when slowing down for a turn. It is extremely dangerous, as the power steering goes out when the engine stops. The date listed is the most recent incident, but this has happened before.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While the contact was driving approximately 35 MPH the engine stalled and the check engine light began to illuminate on the instrument panel. The engine restarted and resumed as normal. The failure recurred and the vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact was informed that the vehicle was designed without an engine protection cover, which allowed water to leak into the engine causing severe damage. The sensor throttle and fourteen other parts were replaced within the engine. The vehicle remained at the dealer for one month for the repairs. Four days after the repair, the engine warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The contact planned to take the vehicle back to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was unknown.
2005 dodge durango stalling while slowing down or accelerating from a stop. January 2010 dealer said they could not do anything unless they could reproduce the problem. Happened again 4/8/2010. Hopefully it does not happen again in traffic and I get killed or kill someone. I am afraid to drive this car. Has happened over 15 times already. I lose all power when this happens,brakes,steering everything this is going to kill someone. I almost ran into a ditch 2 times already. There needs to be a recall on these vehicles. Just replaced fuel pump worked for a day and doing it again their is something wrong with these vehicles.
I am the owner of an auto repair shop, vehicle was driven by me with no engine running problem, no check engine light, no noises or sounds to indicate a problem. Vehicle reason for being at shop was the four wheel drive was not working. After replacing the transfer case motor, I turned key to start vehicle, heard a loud noise, got out of vehicle, inspected, we found that the engine had thrown the number eight connecting rod, thru the engine block. I have photo's, witnesses and documentation.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The contact stated the vehicle would intermittently stall while driving approximately 10 MPH. The contact would then shift the vehicle into neutral and restart. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop and an authorized dealer where they were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 65,000 and the current mileage was 69,000. The VIN was unavailable.
1-2 possible concerns- #1- (5.7 v.8 engine issue) as many others have complained the vehicle stalls and quits on sudden stops, and when making turn. After the engine shuts off - it can be restarted - but no engine code is generated. The dealer does not know the specific cause, but cites numerous things that it can be - wanting me to spend $$ to investigate each one and replace parts. The service department is not aware of any issues with the durango and engine stall. The issue is unpredictable and nearly impossible to duplicate - even though it has happened a dozen or so times in the last 2 years. On several of this occasions I (and my family of 5) have been placed in life threatening situations and I have had issues with controlling the vehicle due to a loss of power steering and brake control. This issue may be related to the next complaint. It seems strange that this on many occasions happens right after a fill up. And - even though my VIN was recalled in 2005 and fixed - gas still sprays out the fuel filler and any gas station when you fill the vehicle up fully. To get around this - my vehicle cannot be filled all the way up. This issue is easy to duplicate - but my dealer states that the work done in 2005 should have fixed this and that any other issue are not a warranty/recall issues. Again - the dealer wants to charge me $$ to test and try to find an answer since according to them this problem has already been fixed.
2005 dodge durango slt will stall at low speeds without warning.
2005 dodge durango (v8 hemi) periodically stalls during normal driving. Engine will die, power steering and brakes will fail. Engine restarts immediately after each incident. Check engine light remains illuminated. Has been to the dealer twice to diagnose with no rectification of the issue. Date of latest incident is shown below.

My 05 durango 5.7 hemi stalled without warning twice in my driveway and once as I was turning left. No power steering,no power brakes,no check engine lights came on, it was very sudden and find this to be dangerous. I have found that other durango owners are having the same issues. I think it's time dodge figures out what to do before something terrible happens. I transport my grandchildren and also like to travel alot and I am afraid to drive now. Lets's hope this problem is acknowledged soon enough. Thank you.
While driving the rpms will jump around. Then when slowing down or at a stop the engine will stall out. This has usually happens going about 34-50 MPH and it stalls leaving you unable to turn. Very dangerous. They have reprogramed computer and replaced throttle positioner. It has occured around 5 times just in the past week. It started out doing it once every couple months now it will do it within feet of restarting. I have to stop, put in park, and restart.
The vehicle stalls while driving, without warning the whole car just shuts off, leaving the driver with no steering, brakes, or control of the car.
There is a problem with my 2005 dodge durango 5.7l hemi. It stalls without warning when coasting. My wife complained but I didn't believe her much until it happened to me. I was approaching a turn then all of a sudden the car lost its power steering. I looked down at the RPM's and noticed the vehicle had turned off, I threw it into neutral, coasted and re-started the car. Almost hit the center divide and missed the turn and if my wife was driving I'm sure she would have gotten into an accident. I have read numerous online complaints from different forums with the same problem, this is definitely not an isolated issue!
Stalling upon deceleration of the vehicle (2005 dodge durango). Stalling while driving on the road when decelerating.
