I HAVE A 2005 DODGE DURANGO SLT. THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 15 MPH. RECENTLY, I MADE A LEGAL U-TURN AND THE VEHICLE STALLED HALFWAY INTO THE TURN. BECAUSE THE CAR STALLED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH THE FULL TURN AND I WAS SITTING IN THE ROAD WITH CARS COMING HEAD ON. I IMMEDIATELY PUT MY CAR IN PARK AND STARTED THE CAR AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND GOT OUT OF IMMEDIATE HARMS WAY. IT IS TRULY A MIRACLE THAT I WAS NOT HIT BY A VEHICLE HEAD ON WHERE CARS WERE COMING AT ME AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES IF IT HASN'T HAPPEN ALREADY. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THIS IS MY PROOF OF TRYING TO GET A RECALL FOR A VERY SERIOUS MALFUNCTION. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED WITH GREAT CARE AND QUICKLY. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER DODGE DURANGO OWNERS WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME INCIDENT. PLEASE, PLEASE HELP. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND I AM TRULY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I AM TERRIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO STALL ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL BUS OR TRUCK, POSSIBLY CAUSING MORE FATALITIES. *TR

ON DEC 19 2008 AS I WAS DRIVING HOME DURING A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WHEN MY DRIVER SIDE WIND SHIELD WIPER SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING AND GOT TANGLED UP WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER THAT CONTINUED TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENED MINUTES BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY SO LUCKILY I WAS IN A PLACE WHERE I COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. I TRIED TO WAIT OUT THE STORM BUT IT WAS GETTING REALLY BAD SO I HAD TO DRIVE AT 20-30 MPH WITH MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I FIRST THOUGHT THAT THE BOLT HOLDING THE WIPER ARM WAS STRIPPED BUT AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TO GET INSPECTED, TO MY SURPRISE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE LINKAGE FOR THE WIPER SYSTEM. THE LINKAGE JUST BROKE OUT OF NOWHERE. OUR VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 1/2 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING HAPPENING ON NEW OR OLD VEHICLES OF ANY MAKE. THE REPAIR TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THAT THE LINKAGE BROKE BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE PART WAS MADE. THE AMOUNT IT COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE CAME OUT TO $607.00 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET IT REPLACED TODAY. IT ALSO TOOK 7-10 DAYS TO ORDER AND SHIP THE PART TO THE REPAIR SHOP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME MODEL PART SO THIS PROBLEM MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH IS NOT COMFORTING AT ALL. I ASKED TO TAKE THE BROKEN PART BACK TO SHOW PROOF OR A DESCRIPTION OF THE AREA THAT BROKE. SO IF NEEDED I CAN SEND THAT IN. *TR

THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT MY CAR, I WASN'T IN AN INTERSECTION OR ON THE FREEWAY (I COMMUTE EVERY DAY ON IT WITH MY CHILD). WE WENT TO THE LOCAL AUTO-MECHANIC. HE SAID THE ETS VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE REPLACED IT FOR $344.16 HOWEVER, THOUGH HE KEPT IT AND DROVE IT, IT DIDN'T HAPPEN TO HIM AND HE SAID IT WOULD BE HARD TO BE 100% SURE IT THAT WAS REALLY THE ISSUE. IT WAS HIS BEST ANSWER.

THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2005 DODGE DURANGO , WHEN FILLING GAS TANK, AND AT THE TIME TANK IS FULL, THE BACK FLOW VALVE OF THE FILLER NOZZLE SEEMS TO BE STUCK OPEN AND DOES NOT CLOSE.

SINCE THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT ONLY HAS 26K MILES ON IT, THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD BE REPAIRED VIA "GOODWILL" (BUT ONLY AFTER I THREATENED TO TAKE THE DEALERSHIP TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT OVER THE ISSUE...... REALLY, DEALERS NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING AND SHOULD FORMALLY RECALL ALL YEAR 2005 VEHICLES. I WAS PRETTY LUCKY NOT TO GET SPRAYED IN THE FACE WITH FUEL.
