2 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/14/2016

The vehicle starts fine and typically runs fine, but stalls out randomly. This started happening about 8 months ago, and happens about 3 times a week now. Sometimes it stalls on the freeway at 60 mph and you lose power steering and brakes, but most of the time it happens when decelerating to turn a corner, which is really frustrating as you lose power steering and brakes and has caused me to go off the road or hit curbs if I can't muscle the vehicle through the remainder of the turn. Luckily I haven't been in an accident due to this yet, but it is only a matter of time. The check engine light is not on, and there are no issues with the dash lights and gauges. The Dodge dealer says they are not aware of any issues, but online forums show hundreds if not thousands of people having the same issue with this vehicle.

4 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

I have owned my 05 dango since 07. My Durango has stalled now 4 times in 6 months. Once in a hospital parking lot going very slow. Next time while backing out of my driveway. About a month ago I turned into my neighborhood and made a slow left turn onto my street. It lost power halfway into the turn. No rpm's no speedo. No power stearing no power brakes. I man handled the turn, flipped it in neutral. Turned the key off then on and I had my speedo back, and I continued to start it back up. I thought ok that was crazy weird. No check engine lights, no codes. I thought it was bad gas or fuel system clogged. I have since cleaned all they up and serviced the fuel system. Then yesterday it happened again in the same exact location doing the same exact low speed maneuver. This time I had my kids in the truck. What if I pulled across traffic to turn with no power and stalls. What if my wife was driving? I'm not sure she could remedy a situation like this.

6 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 04/25/2012

I was at a stop sign and began to make a left turn when the vehicle stalled. I was able to stop the vehicle from rolling too far into the intersection as a vehicle past from left to right. This was the first time my vehicle stalled. I have had it stall multiple times since each time moving from a stopped position. Each time the vehicle starts right up after the stall and I have no check engine lights or the like appear. This is very concerning to me especially when it happens when im pulling out into busy fast moving traffic.

My 05 Durango 5. 7 hemi stalled without warning twice in my driveway and once as I was turning left. No power steering,no power brakes,no check engine lights came on, it was very sudden and find this to be dangerous. I have found that other Durango owners are having the same issues. I think it's time Dodge figures out what to do before something terrible happens. I transport my grandchildren and also like to travel alot and I am afraid to drive now. Lets's hope this problem is acknowledged soon enough. Thank you.

14 Check Engine Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2010

In March I had my 2005 Durango in for the 2 recalls and additional routine maintenance was done at that time as well. It has 55,000 miles on it. This past Saturday, it stalled without warning and without the check engine light coming on. I was able to start it back up. I took it to my mechanic. He ran a diagnostic scan as well as drove it, and nothing at all showed up. I am very fearful to drive this vehicle because of its sudden stalls. I see online that this appears to be an ongoing issue and would like for Chrysler Dodge to address this situation immediately.

Loss of power when getting on freeway. Engine chugs, rough idle, no power to merge with traffic on freeway. Check engine light came on. Checked codes and found p0308 and p2099. Changed all 8 spark plugs, plugs 4, 6, 8, 3, 5, and 7 show sings of setting in water. Found out Dodge has two service bulletins to keep this from occurring, sb 18-006-05 rev a and 18-024-06.

Failure Date: 01/20/2005

I had won this vehicle in a lemon law suit against Chrysler. When I picked up the new vehicle (Dodge Durango 05 w/ 5. 7) it had a check engine light. The salesman assured me that it was because the car was left running while they were pumping gas. Light went off after shutting off and opening gas cap.
