2004 dodge ram quad cab with hemi engine. For several years has been stalling, when I finally realized it was stalling shortly after fueling and letting the fuel hose click off. I have had it to the dealer 3x and the usual no problem found answer was given. Just recently after stalling in an intersection after getting gas I took it back to the dealer. They replaced the vapor canister, solenoid and flashed the computer with an update. Picked up the vehicle and same thing happened stalled while turning into a grocery. Took it back dealer says no idea what it is-so they said all that is left is to change the fuel tank assembly, including fuel pump. I just fueled up, let the gas hose click off and now I don't see the stall, at least as yet. There are thousands of complaints out there with the same problem occurring each day and puts folks lives at danger when the vehicle is running slowly and/or turning at intersections etc. Chrysler should live up to the recognition od this serious safety problem.

2004 dodge durango w/5.7 liter hemi engine just stalled/shut off on its own when going up a parking garage ramp at approximately 15 MPH. Lost all power to power steering and brakes. Had to come to a complete stop, place in park, and then restarted without any problem. Have had vehicle since may of 2004 and this is the first time this problem has happened. Very concerned since I have seen other complaints with same exact problem.

Car stalls when driving, no reason. No codes generated per dealer. Also have a problem with horn beeping at random times sometimes days apart. This truck is not driven for a week at times. *ak there may be a correlation between the intermittant horn sounding and the failing ignition. The security system wiring harness and keyless entry system may be tied to an ignition kill switch when the defective keyless entry system triggers the horn. When driving, the horn may not sound as a key is in the ignition and/or the vehicle is exceeding 15 MPH may disconnect the final circuit driving the horn. Remnants of a security system wiring may exist whether or not the vehilcle comes equipped with a security system or not. This would explain why no failure codes are ever found. I will go to dealer and ask them to replace keyless electronic module to stop the horn from triggering at random times and hopefully fix stalling problems.
