I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO AND HAVE HAD IT 1 MONTH. AFTER 1 WEEK OF HAVING IT, IT HAD STALLED OUT AND JUST DIED TWICE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE CAR LOT, AND THEY SENT IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, BECAUSE IT IS STILL UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY. THE DODGE PLACE HOOKED IT UP TO MACHINES, TEST DROVE IT, AND SENT IT BACK BECAUSE THEY REPORTED THEY FOUND NOTHING. IT HAS IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS DIED OR STALLED OUT 3 MORE TIMES. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT (4.7L). ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ON A BUSY INTERSECTION AS I WAS TURNING INTO A GAS STATION. THE SECOND TIME I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE THIRD TIME, HAPPENED 5/27/2006, I WAS BACKING UP INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I AM A PETITE FEMALE AND I FREQUENTLY DRIVE LONG DISTANCES ALONE. THIS VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE SAFETY HAZARD. I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER THREE TIMES AND EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE AT ALL, IT HASN'T BEEN A YEAR YET. AT THIS POINT, I AM CONSIDERING BREAKING MY LEASE AND SIGNING A CONTRACT WITH ANOTHER COMPANY. *JB

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.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MY WIFE'S 2005 DODGE DURANGO (4.7 LITER 8 CYLINDER - NON-HEMI) SUV HAS STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICING AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN EXPRESSLY NOTED. THE SERVICE MANAGER MAINTAINS HE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT A PROBLEM AND HE CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. JUST YESTERDAY, THE VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY WASHINGTON, DC INTERSECTION AND MY WIFE WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED AS A RESULT. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER (AT LEAST THIS DEALER - TYSONS DODGE JEEP) DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE ONE BIT ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND NOW HAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000 MILES. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN ACTIVE INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM AND MY QUESTION IS: WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION? ARE LIVES GOING TO HAVE TO BE LOST? IT APPEARS THAT CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND IS CHOOSING TO CLOSE ITS EYES TO THE PROBLEM. NHTSA SHOULD NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN. TOO MUCH IS AT RISK AND CHRYSLER IS MAKING A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY OFF OF THESE VEHICLES. WE PAID WELL OVER $30K FOR THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM. *NM

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK UP CREATING A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN 10 TIMES OVER A 4 OR 5 MONTH PERIOD. FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP (GARBER AUTO MALL - GREEN COVE SPRINGS FL) AND TOLD THEM OF THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT DODGE WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND WERE RESEARCHING A FIX, BUT DID NOT HAVE ONE AT THE CURRENT TIME. IT HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER, AT WHICH POINT I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. LEARNED THAT A CO-WORKER'S 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A WEEK EARLIER. THIS TIME I WAS TOLD THAT DODGE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE. I ALSO CALLED THE MAIN DODGE 1-800 NUMBER AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THEM AND WAS INSTRUCTED TO GIVE THE COMPLAINT NUMBER TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TELL THEM TO CALL DODGE WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP. NOT SURE IF THEY CALLED OR NOT. GARBER DODGE TOLD ME THEY SERVICED THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACED SOME GASKETS THAT FAILED CAUSING AIR TO BE SUCKED INTO THE SYSTEM AND POTENTIALLY CAUSING THE COMPUTER TO FAIL, BUT THEY WEREN'T SURE IF IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM SINCE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. MY CO-WORKERS DEALERSHIP FOUND SOME LOOSE WIRING GOING TO THE MAIN COMPUTER WHICH THEY ADJUSTED AND TOLD HIM THIS MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ON 20 APR 2006 THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN TO MY VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE VERY NEXT MORNING. GARBER DODGE KEPT THE VEHICLE THAT DAY AND PART OF THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE GIVEN THE VEHICLE BACK AND TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ADVISED US IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN TO JUST BRING IT BACK IN AND THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AGAIN. I HAVE ALREADY FILED A SECOND COMPLAINT WITH DODGE, THIS TIME DOING IT THROUGH THEIR EMAIL CONTACT PORTION. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL PROBLEM THAT IT SEEMS DODGE AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT TOO CONCERNED WITH. *JB

WE BOUGHT THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO IN JUNE 2005. IT WORKED GREAT UNTIL ABOUT OCTOBER WHEN IT BEGAN TO STALL OUT. THIS WOULD USUALLY HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE OTHER DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY THREE CHILDREN, ALL UNDER FIVE, GOING ABOUT 40 MPH WHEN EVERYTHING IN THE CAR SHUT OFF. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, I HAD NO BRAKES, NO ELECTRICAL, NOTHING. THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. I HAD NO CONTROL OF ANYTHING. I WENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THOSE LANES. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO STOP AFTER PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I WAS ONLY A FEW BLOCKS FROM HOME SO I TRIED TO DRIVE BACK HOME. CAR STALLED AGAIN A FEW MINUTES LATER. I PARKED IT. IT WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION AND FLASHED THE COMPUTER. THE DAY THEY GAVE IT BACK TO ME IT HAPPENED AGAIN. RIGHT AWAY IT WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE HAD IT EVER SINCE. IT'S BEEN SEVEN DAYS AND NOT EVEN A PHONE CALL. I AM HESITANT TO TAKE THIS CAR BACK OR BE PUTTING MY CHILDREN IN IT AGAIN. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I WAS LUCKY THIS TIME AND DO NOT PLAN TO TRY MY LUCK AGAIN. PEOPLE COULD DIE FROM THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. *NM

I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO LAST MARCH AND IN JUNE IT STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING! IT WOULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN AND I NOTICED IT A LOT WHEN I MADE RIGHT TURNS. THERE WAS NO WARNING...DIDN'T MAKE ANY SOUNDS, NO LIGHTS CAME ON...I WOULD JUST TRY TO PUSH THE GAS AND THERE WAS NOTHING. IT WAS ALL I COULD DO TO GET IT PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND AVOID GETTING HIT! THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD BEFORE I THOUGHT IT WAS FIXED. THE FIRST TIME IT OCCURRED I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THE COMPUTER DID NOT PICK UP ANY ERRORS AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. THEN AFTER IT HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES I TOOK IT STRAIGHT THERE AGAIN AND THEY FOUND A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED IT. SO I THOUGHT UNTIL NOW. LAST WEEK IT STARTED AGAIN...1 TIME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. I CAME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING HIT AND NOW I HAVE A 3 MONTH OLD BABY RIDING IN THE CAR TO WORRY ABOUT ALSO. SO, I THOUGHT GREAT HERE WE GO AGAIN. I WAITED FOR IT TO HAPPEN ONCE MORE BEFORE I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A FEW DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN TOWN. AGAIN, THEY ARE SAYING THERE ARE NO ERRORS IN THE COMPUTER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR THAT IT IS EVEN "REALLY" HAPPENING! SO IN OTHER WORDS I AM MAKING THIS UP! THIS TIME I WAS NOT TAKING MY CAR BACK UNTIL I COULD BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT TOOK ME AN HOUR OF GOING ROUND AND ROUND WITH THEM BEFORE THEY BROKE DOWN AND GAVE ME A RENTAL. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE ONE OF THEIR MECHANICS TEST IT FOR A FEW DAYS AND TRY TO GET IT TO HAPPEN WHILE HE IS DRIVING IT. IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM FILING FOR THE LEMON LAW WHICH COULD TAKE UP TO FOUR WEEKS AND I KNOW THEY ARE NOT GOING TO LET ME KEEP A RENTAL FOR THAT LONG! SO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM GOING TO DO FOR NOW. HOPEFULLY IT HAPPENS WHILE THE MECHANIC IS DRIVING IT AND THEY CAN COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. *JB
