DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN SHE PUT THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE IT REVVED, BUT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLED WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAPPENED EIGHT TO NINE TIMES. THE BRAKES HAVE FAILED THREE TIMES, ALMOST REAR ENDING A TRUCK. THE BRAKES WILL NOT RESPOND WHEN PRESSED. SHE HAS TO TAKE FOOT AND SLAM IT TO THE FLOOR FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR BOTH PROBLEMS MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE EITHER PROBLEM.

THE SPEED THAT THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING WAS AROUND 15-25 MPH. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN THE REPAIR SHOP, AND THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE TRUCK AS OF NOW. THE DEALER CHANGED AND UPDATED THE SOFTWARE. THE CONSUMER DID NOT THINK THAT THE SOFTWARE MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE TRUCK. DAMILER/CHRYSLER WAS CALLED, AND THEY SUGGESTED THAT THE CONSUMER CONTACT THEIR DEALER. THIS FAILURE SEEMED TO BE INTERMITTENT. THERE HAS BEEN DIAGNOSTIC TESTING ON THE VEHICLE, AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRACE DOWN THE PROBLEM. *AK THE DEALER REPLACED THE MAF SENSOR. *NM

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.

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 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 NHTSA 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 NHTSA 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.
