I HAVE A 2005 DURANGO AND LATELY IT HAS BEEN DYING WITH NO TYPE OF ANY WARNING. IT USUALLY WILL HAPPEN IF I AM TURNING A CORNER, COMING TO A STOP AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, OR GOING THROUGH PARKING LOTS. SATURDAY I HAD A CAR FULL OF KIDS LEAVING A BASEBALL GAME AND I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CROSS A BUSY HWY IN MY HOMETOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE TO GO ACROSS THE INTERSECTION OF THE HWY MY DURANGO DIED RIGHT THERE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC HEADED TOWARD US...I COULDN'T STEER AND HAD TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY WITH THE KIDS IN MY CAR AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND FRANTICALLY TRY TO START THE CAR HOPING THIS WOULD HELP (WHICH THANKFULLY IT DID THIS TIME). THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE AND EACH TIME IS GETTING MORE AND MORE SCARIER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR ONE OF THESE TIMES MY FAMILY AND I WON'T BE SO LUCKY AND WILL END UP BEING KILLED DUE TO THE DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE REVIEWED MANY FORUMS ONLINE AND SEE MANY COMPLAINTS IN THE FORUMS WHERE THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO DODGE'S ATTENTION AND EVEN COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE WITH NOTHING DONE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED BECAUSE OF THE STALLING OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CONSUMERS AND HELP RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS NOW. IT HAS A PERSISTENT AND VERY UNSETTLING PROBLEM OF STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH NO CORRESPONDING WARNING LIGHTS ETC. IT JUST DIES AND THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES FAIL RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO PATTERN OF ORIGIN EVIDENT SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC LANES ACROSS INTERSECTIONS. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IMMEDIATELY RESTART IT TO AVOID A COLLISION. I HAVE UTILIZED FUEL CLEANERS AND CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS ETC. IN A EFFORT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AT LOW SPEED IN A PARKING LOT FORTUNATELY..JUST DIED WITHOUT WARNING. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ENGINE PROBLEM COMPLAINT WITH THE DURANGO. TODAY, THIS OCCURRED WITH OVER 3/4 TANK OF FRESH FUEL IN THE TANK. THIS PROBLEM CONSTITUTES AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY HAZARD TO OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES AND I AM REQUESTING THAT NHTSA INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION INTO IT'S CAUSE ( S ) - THANK YOU - RELATED WEBSITE LINK RE: COMMON PROBLEM - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/DURANGO/2005/ENGINE/STALLING_WITHOUT_WARNING.SHTML . *TR
