THE CAR (DODGE DURANGO 05) TOTALLY DIES AT ANY RANDOM TIME, THE STEERING LOCKS AND EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST MONTH OR TWO WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN TOWN. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO GET HIT LAST WEEK FROM BEHIND..I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR TO WARN TRAFFIC COMING OFF A HILL TOWARDS MY DEAD CAR, THAT I WAS DISTRESSED AND TO GO AROUND.....WE PURCHASED THIS CAR 3 1/2 MONTHS AGO. TOOK TO THE DODGE DEALER AND HAD THEM GO THRU IT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. THEY CHECKED THE COMPUTER AND DROVE IT...I CAN NO LONGER FEELS SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. *TR

WHILE COMMUTING THIS MORNING TO WORK, I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, AS I STARTED TO BRAKE, I NOTICED MY BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AT THAT POINT I REALIZED MY ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF AND I HAD LOST MY POWER BRAKES/POWER STEERING. AS THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST WITH NO WARNING - AS IT DID THIS TIME, I KNEW I COULD PUT MY ENGINE INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-START MY ENGINE. LUCKILY I WAS NOT IN ANY SORT OF SERIOUS TRAFFIC AND HAD PLENTY OF ROOM TO GET MY VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID ANY ACCIDENTS. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THE PAST WITH DODGE AND HAVE HAD NO SUCCESS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

FUEL SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT FROM THE NECK OF TANK (WHERE PUMP GOES INTO CAR) WHEN FUELING IS COMPLETE IF TANK IS PUMPED UNTIL FULL. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2009 AND HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM ABOUT 6-12 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR (I HAVE ADDED ABOUT 8,000 MILES TO THE CAR OVER THIS TIME). I CONTACTED THE DEALER AS WELL WAS CHRYSLER, WHO BOTH STATED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXISTING RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLE. THE CONTACT STATED WHENEVER SHE WOULD REFILL THE VEHICLE WOULD GASOLINE; THE FUEL WOULD SPEW BACK OUT FROM THE FILLER VALVE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO EXHIBIT AN ABNORMAL INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY STALL. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE GAS CAP, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND THE IDLE SENSORS BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO LOCATE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V00300 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: STORAGE: TANK ASSEMBLY) BUT WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER, SHE WAS TOLD HER VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND STATED THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH PARTIAL REPAIR COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 90,233.

I AM SENDING THIS IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT CHRYSLER HASN'T TRIED TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH ME. WE TRIED TO TALK TO THEM LAST APRIL ABOUT A ISSUE WITH MY GAS TANK AND IT NOT CLOSING LIKE IT SHOULD AND THAT IT WAS ON A RECALL AND WHEN THIS WAS PRESENTED TO THEM THEY PRETTY MUCH WANTED TO MAKE US HELP PAY FOR IT WHICH UPSET ME WHEN WE HAVE THE CLIP FROM THE PAPER ABOUT THE RECALL. IT IS TERRIBLE WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND I HAVE TO WATCH MY GAS TANK AND AM NERVOUS ABOUT IT SPRAYING ALL OVER ME WHICH IT HAS DONE TO ME. AND I AM SORRY BUT THAT IS NOT OKAY AND HOW WASTEFUL IS THAT AND THAT IS DANGEROUS FOR IT TO BE ON THE GROUND LIKE THATWHEN I START MY VEHICLE. AND LIKE MY HUSBAND IF THERE WOULD EVER BE A SPARK OR SOMEONE SMOKING THAT WOULD NOT BE GOOD FOR MY SITUATION. I COULD USE SOME HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS NOT GOOD CUSTOMER AT ALL ON CHRYSLERS PART. I HEARD CHRYSLER HAS BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT TO ME THIS IS REALLY BAD. I KNOW THAT ALOT OF CAR FACTORIES ARE STRUGGLING BUT THIS IS NOT HOW TO DO GOOD BUSINESS AND I WILL NOT BUY ANYMORE VEHICLES FROM THEM IF THEY TREAT THERE CUSTOMERS POORLY AND UNFAIRLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND I FEEL THEY DO NOT CARE. *TR

Engine and engine cooling, Jul 10, 2010
FOR THE FOURTH TIME IN AS MANY MONTHS, MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO HAS COMPLETELY LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THIS PAST FEBRUARY, I HAD THE DEALER PUT IN NEARLY $2000 WORTH OF WORK IN ADDITION TO FIXING THE RECALLED ISSUES OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND FUEL TANK. THE POWER LOSS HAPPENED AFTER THIS AND AFTER HAVING TAKEN IT BACK ONCE TO THE DEALER I WILL NOT TAKE IT TO THEM AGAIN DUE TO POOR SERVICE. I HAVE ALSO HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE CAR, BUT NOTHING COMES UP. THE CAR SIMPLY LOSES POWER AND I AM FORCED TO TRY TO STEER IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK, AND START IT UP AGAIN. NO "CHECK ENGINE" OR OTHER WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. I AM NOW VERY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD, VERY WELL MAINTAINED, AND HAS ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT. IF SOMEONE FROM NHTSA CARES TO CHECK ON THE EDMUNDS.COM FORUM, THEY WILL NOTE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE HEMI 5.7 ENGINE ON THE DURANGO. I WOULD LIKE FOR THE NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

I AM AWARE OF A RECALL(DATED 2009-01-08) THAT COVERED THIS ISSUE FOR 2005 DODGE DURANGO, BUT I WAS ADVISED BY MY LOCAL DEALER AND BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. I AM TOLD REPAIR WILL COST ME IN EXCESS OF $800. MY PROBLEM MATCHES EXACTLY THAT OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND FEEL I SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THIS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REPAIR. *TR

MY DURANGO ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. ONCE IT SHUTS OFF I TOTALLY LOOSE ALL POWER STEERING/POWER BRAKES. IT HAPPENS TOTALLY AT RANDOM, SOMETIMES IT WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY, SOMETIMES IT WILL GO MONTHS IN BETWEEN INCIDENTS. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS OF YET, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY NEAR MISSES, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING ON WINDY ROADS, WHEN LACK OF POWER STEERING IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WHO HAS STATED THAT DUE TO THE RANDOMNESS OF THE ISSUE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP IT, CHARGING ME $80.00/HOUR TRYING TO EVEN REPLICATE THE ISSUE, NO CODES WERE ABLE TO BE FOUND. AFTER RESEARCH ON THE WEB, THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE WITH MY DODGE, BUT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHER PEOPLE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AROUND 40,000 ON MY VEHICLE, OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. ONCE THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF, I AM ABLE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND IT WILL START BACK UP FINE AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG. *TR
