2005 Dodge Durango engine complaints

My 2005 dodge durango SUV has been experiencing engine stalling while driving for the past 6 months. It always happens while it is being driven in rainy or wet conditions. It happened the first time in november 2007 on regular surface streets while it was raining and my wife was driving straight ahead. The vehicle stalled and she was unable to re-start it for over 2 minutes in normal traffic conditions. The second time on or about 3/11/08 my wife was turning right at an intersection in rainy conditions and the engine stalled mid turn and she was unable to re-start the engine for over 2 minutes in normal traffic conditions. The third time occurred 5/6/08 on regular surface streets driving straight ahead in rainy conditions and the vehicle stalled and was unable to be re-started for at least 2 minutes. All 3 occurrences involved loss of control of the vehicle due to the loss of power steering and power brake controls while our children were present in the vehicle. I took the vehicle in to allan samuels dodge in alliance texas after the 2nd incident for warranty covered diagnosis and they informed me after having the vehicle overnight for a full day that they did not find anything wrong with it. I took it back to them after the 3rd incident and after having it for 2 full days they are still advising me that they can not find a problem with the vehicle and are not recommending any course of action to correct it. No parts have been replaced or repaired on the vehicle to my knowledge according to the service receipts given to me. I believe they are simply hooking up the ECM scanner and looking for failure codes, of which both times I took it in I was told there were none present. In my opinion right now, nothing has been done to correct the problem with my vehicle and I am very concerned about the safety of this vehicle and my wife and children inside of it.
Manifold bolt broke on my 2005 dodge durango. Exhaust smell in vehicle.
Our 2005 dodge durango with 5.7 liter hemi has stalled on numerous occasions since purchase. Usually stalls during at slow speeds, or while turning. This has caused several near accidents. Had taken to dealer, after $1,000 of tune ups, etc. No improvement, still stalls. Very unsafe!
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While driving under 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled, but was able to be restarted minutes later. The dealer performed a diagnostic and was unable to detect any failures. The manufacturer informed the contact that he would have to pay for future diagnostics because the vehicle exceeded the 36,000 mile factory warranty. The current mileage was 38,000 and failure mileage was 16,000.
Two days in a row now my 2005 dodge durango has stalled while on the highway. I did some research and found several complaints on the issue. I am appalled that nothing is being done about this. This is a very serious problem and could be fatal.
I have 2005 durango bought new. I have had it shut off on me going slow, making turns and going down the interstate. I have had to put the vehicle in neutral while going down the interstate turn the key off and start the vehicle up while moving. I have had it into two different dodge dealerships once for 2 days the next for two weeks. They did not fix this issue but found many other things that need fixed. My wife will not drive the truck because of the kids. She's afraid of it. It just sits in front of the house.
My car stalls at different times and I lose all ability to steer and has come very close to causing a serious accident. The dealership has never been able to find a problem but it has happened at least 20 times in the last two years and left no codes. The dealership just says no codes no answer.
I purchased my dodge durango limited new in 2005. I had no problems until approx. 1 year in to ownership. When the vehicle is placed in reverse after sitting overnight or while at work it has a several second hesitation. After taking it to the dealership (3) times they finally found a tsb to replace the transmission filter which they say they did. The problem seemed to get a little better. Now though (1500 miles later) my durango is hesitating in reverse and forward. The dealership can't replicate the problem ( never have ) and don't know what to do now. I have also now had (2) instances of the engine shutting off at low speeds. The dealership also can not replicate this and don't know what to do. My durango has spent almost 2 weeks total in the shop with these issues. I guess I will need to put a sign on my rear windshield that reads "stay back vehicle engine dies".
2005 dodge durango slt, 5.7l v8 stalls when braking. This has happened on several occasions since may 2007. The dealer has cleaned the throttle body, replaced the battery as they said it was loosing voltage and flushed the fuel injection system. As we drove it out of the dealership after it was "fixed" it did the same thing, yet they cannot duplicate the problem when they have it.
On three separate occasions, my durango has stalled while driving with no warning and for no apparent reason. After it happened the first time I took it to the dealership and they said that they couldn't duplicate the problem so could do nothing. Most recently it happened twice in the same day on my wife. At this point I am beginning to search for another vehicle because I am concerned for the safety of my three children. Please do something about this before someone gets hurt or killed!!!
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. The vehicle stalled due to low idling when the contact made a hard turn. The failure occurred when the vehicle was first started. The vehicle received a software upgrade, but the failure persists. The failure is similar to what is stated in the federal safety agency action number pe05027. The current and failure mileages were 60,000. Updated 03-04-08
My 2005 dodge durango limited, hemi v8, 50k miles has stalled 4 times at highway speeds. (65-80) and twice in the last week. When this happens the SUV has a loss of power/steering/brakes and it is quite a challenge to coax the SUV to the side of the road and avoid damage. This last time the SUV was unable to stop in a safe distance and went off in the median. It also lost automatic headlights so I was trying to move the SUV off the road at night with no lights to guide on a busy section of I-90 in ohio. The durango has also stalled 2 times backing out of my driveway in the last 3-6 months. I have had this looked at by my local dealer and they could not find any problems. The durango is up to date on all tsb's and recalls. I will be bringing the durango back to the shop again tomorrow to have it check out again.

Dodge durango 4.7 liter v8 stalls for no apparent reason. No cell or trouble codes, just complete loss of power. Changed fuel stations, and performed tune-up. I fear an accident may occur.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 dodge durango. While driving 15 MPH, the engine stalled and then shut off completely. There was a loss of power steering and brake power. The vehicle was able to be restarted. The dealer reprogrammed the computer software, but the failure recurred. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 27,000 and current mileage was 43,000.
Vehicle was started the morning of 7/27/2007 after sitting approx. 24 hrs. Drove less than 3 miles at 35-45 MPH when vehicle stalled as left turn was being made at approx. 22 MPH (lost all power, no warning lights etc..). Had to put vehicle in neutral and restart (no warning codes appeared upon restarting). On 8/6 vehicle was started in the afternoon and driven less than 5 miles @ approx. 40mph when suddenly instrument cluster lights started to come on, A/C shut down and engine started running rough. Vehicle was taken to dealership on 8/7 and after clearing codes dealer "could not identify" any problems. Dealer stated no flash sw updates available. Vehicle had 2 other instances prior to this in q207 where all lights came on in instrument cluster and engine ran rough. Dealer could not identify what codes meant, but performed instrument cluster replacement (subject of a dcx recall) and vehicle ran well for about 6 weeks prior to the stalling incident on 7/27.
While driving my 2005 durango, when I hit the brake, the engine will cut off, no warning lights come on, steering tightens, I have to put it back into park for it to start again. This has been going on for 30,000 miles and 18 months, it has been to 4 different dealers, and no one can find the problem. One dealer said it needed a tune up that was at 24,000 miles, so we paid $900.00 for that and new brakes. That wasn't the problem. One month ago, while pulling into a parking lot, the vehicle shut off and I hit a parked car because the steering wheel tightened and brakes locked up. Luckily no one was injured. This has happened at least 2 dozen times.
I purchased a 2005 dodge durango brand new,and since I had this vehicle it has been given me problems. There were recalls on this vehicle. The vehicle idled very hard, and it shut off when it idled hard, while sitting at a traffic light or when turning to go around a ramp. When shutting off the wheel locked, and I could not control the car. Recently, the care shut off on the new jersey turnpike and a tractor trailer truck was behind me. Luckily, I was in the outer lane and managed to steer the car to the shoulder before the truck could hit me and my family. This was very dangerous. Last incident happened on une 10, 2007. Every time I took the car to the dealer they determined there was no problem.
2005 dodge durango (4.7 l v8) stalls in an unexpected manner while driving. Stalls have occured while driving on at least 5 occasions. Stalls have occurred in normal street traffic and on the highway. Had a dodge dealership look at the vehicle in may 2007. Vehicle has stalled twice since the dealership looked at it. The vehicle most recently stalled today on I-90 (june 10, 2007).
2005 durango engine dies when changing from reverse to drive after backing out of parking space. Also dies when accelerating from a slow roll such as an uncontrolled intersection. I have been involved in 5 near miss incidents in the last 18 months. Dealer has done a tune-up and test drive and has told me there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. Are people going to have to die before something is done about this?
My 2005 dodge durango has stalled without warning several times since purchase two years ago. This has happened while moving and the steering locks up. The dealership has examined the vehicle several times and found "nothing" to be wrong with it. There are several other durango owners with this problem. This needs to be recalled and fixed before someone gets hurt or killed (if they haven't already).
05 durango with 5.7 hemi stalls when driving. Sometimes when backing up sometimes when coming to stop sign or light, or sometimes when driving on roads at different speeds. This is the worst scenario because power steering and brakes also go. Has not caused accident for us yet, but cam close when my fiancee was driving. Chrysler is aware of problem and has tried to fix and has given me every excuse in the book. Finally has decided to replace car but with hefty mileage charge. I will fight them on that but I wanted you to be aware that all of their so called service bulletins do not fix problem. One excuse I got is that the epa won't let them fix the problem because it will effect the emissions output. I realize this is a problem for only a small amount of vehicles but it will only be a matter of time before someone is injured or killed due to the engine stalling.
