2005 DODGE DURANGO WITH 5.7 HEMI ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. DOES NOT THROW A CODE SO THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. MOST TIMES IT WILL RE-START BUT SOMETIMES TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE RESTARTING. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS MORE THAN ONCE A DAY, SOMETIMES A COUPLE OF TIMES A WEEK....NEED HELP TO GET DODGE/CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. BOUGHT NEW IN 2005 AND DIDN'T START HAVING TROUBLE UNTIL 2008. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY FILED THIS COMPLAINT BUT NEVER GOT ANY RESOLUTION AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. THE ENGINE STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOUNDS JUST LIKE YOUR WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN YOUR INVESTIGATION EA05018. IT IS NOW AT THE MECHANIC AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM SO FAR. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND IF THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT I WANT TO KNOW WHY CHRYSLER/DODGE OR THE ODI CANNOT OFFER A FIX IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SAFETY IS FURTHER COMPROMISED? *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO FUEL OVERFLOW/SPLASH. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I NOTICED THE FUEL PUMP WOULD NOT SHUT OFF WHEN REFUELING WHICH CAUSE A GREAT AMOUNT OF FUEL TO SPLASH BACK AT THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR MAINTENANCE AND WAS TOLD BY DODGE THAT IT WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND IT WOULD COST ME $600 PLUS TO FIX. I WENT TO A DIFFERENT DEALER RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE! BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : RQ08005. *TR

I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN TWO RECALLS FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM 05V34000 AND 09V003000 FOR A 2005 DODGE DURANGO, WHICH I OWN. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ONE OF THE ONES AFFECTED. I ASKED THE PERSON HOW I WOULD GET MY VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL HE THEN TOLD ME TO GO GET A DIAGNOSTICS CHECK AND ACCUSED ME OF CAUSING THE PROBLEM BY PUTTING A MARBLE IN THE GAS TANK. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE DESIGN AND A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE I CONTINUE TO DUMP GAS ONTO THE GROUND. *TR
