ANOTHER PROBLEM HAS COME UP NOW WHEN AFTER I START THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNING, IT SURGES FROM 1000 RPM TO 2000 BACK AND FORTH FOR ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DURANGO AND RECENTLY IT HAS STARTED DYING WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. STEERING AND BRAKING BECOME VERY DIFFICULT AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. MY MECHANIC USED A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL AND SAID IT SHOWED A CODE FOR THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR, AND IT WAS REPLACED. HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL SHOWED A CODE FOR THE CRANK SHAFT SENSOR, AND IT WAS REPLACED. IT IS STILL HAPPENING. VEHICLE NEVER FAILS TO START AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE STOPPED BUT DUE TO THE DIFFICULTY IN STEERING AND BRAKING WHEN IT STALLS, I HAVE NEARLY HAD ACCIDENTS. PLEASE HELP! *TT

2006 DODGE DURANGO ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. MY DURANGO SHUT OFF TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS DURING TURNS. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT IS LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. IT SHUTS OFF AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGN AND THEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE. THE DODGE DEALER CAN NOT FIND A REASON FOR COMPLETE ENGINE STALL. THE DEALER HAS FLASHED THE PCM. THE ENGINE STALLED NEXT DAY AFTER FLASHING THE PCM. WHEN ENGINE STALLS THERE IS COMPLETE LOSS OF STEERING. IN ONE YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THERE HAS BEEN FIVE ENGINE SHUT OFFS. IN EFFORT TO FIX DEALER CHARGED ME FOR COMPLETE FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED. A THROTTLE BODY SERVICE WHICH WAS NOT NEEDED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT ALSO BELONGED TO THE 2004/2005 DURANGO AND IS STILL PRESENT IN THE 2006 DURANGO. THE FLASH TO THE PCM DOES NOT WORK. *TR

DODGE DURANGO 2006. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. AT 119,000 MILES, I HAVE HAD THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED 4 TIMES DUE TO BROKEN BOLTS/STUDS, ALL O2 SENSORS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE FUEL SYSTEM OVERFLOWS WHEN FUELING UP, SPLASHING OVER THE GAS ATTENDANT AND VEHICLE. THE MOST SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM LATELY HAS BEEN THE VEHICLE STALLING AT ALL SPEEDS IN THE RAIN. WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THERE WAS AN UPDATE FOR A COWL BELOW THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS THAT PROTECTS THE FIREWALL FROM WATER. THEY REPLACED THIS PART. THE NEXT TIME IT RAINED THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN, TRUCK STALLED AT 45 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS YOU LOSE POWER STEERING WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO GET TO A SHOULDER. ONCE THE TRUCK IS STOPPED AND PLACED INTO PARK IT WILL RESTART WITHOUT A PROBLEM. THE STALLING CONTINUES TO OCCUR IN THE RAIN. VERY SCARY. *TR

ON MY 2006 DODGE DURANGO, THE STUDS AND BOLTS HOLDING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD TOGETHER FAILED. THIS REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF TWO GASKETS, FOUR DOUBLE ENDED STUDS AND TWO BOLTS AS WELL AS TWENTY RETAINERS. THIS VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE ANY OFF ROAD DRIVING AND THE STUDS AND BOLTS FAILED DURING NORMAL EVERYDAY WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH SEEMS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A VEHICLE LESS THAN THREE YEARS OLD. IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT INFERIOR MATERIALS WERE USED IN THESE STUDS AND BOLTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE? *TR

PROGRESSIVELY WORSE ENGINE IDLE AT STOPS ON '06 DURANGO W/ 5.7 HEMI. WHEN STOPPING AT LIGHT/SIGN, ENGINE WILL DROP FROM (NORMAL) AROUND 700RPM TO BELOW 500 RPM AND FEELS LIKE ITS ABOUT TO STALL. IT WILL THEN COME UP TO 500RPM (ROUGH IDLE) AND FLUCTUATE BETWEEN 450 AND 550. IF I GIVE AT A LITTLE GAS, IT WILL COME UP TO NORMAL RPM AND STAY. DEALER SAYS THEY COULDN'T GET ANY CODES OR FIND PROBLEMS, HOWEVER THEY SAW SAME SYMPTOMS WHEN TURNING WHEEL. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED FOR '04 & '05 5.7 HEMI'S AND HAS SOME VEHICLES STALLING DURING A TURN IN INTERSECTION (THIS IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL DEFECT). DEALER CONFIRMED THAT CHRYLSER IS AWARE OF A PROBLEM AND HAS NO FIX FOR IT. THE DEALER HAD ME PICK UP THE VEHICLE TO USE UNTIL A FIX IS AVAILABLE. *NM
