I have had several occasions of my rpm accelerating and overdrive shifting. I have also read numerous amount of complaints pertaining to the same issues with other customers that have purchased a Dodge Durango as well. I have had the car inspected and there seems to be no problems. This is a problem and I think that this needs to be addressed. It can be dangerous on the highway with my car jerking and shifting going 70mph. I believe Dodge has a error that they need to own up to. Please contact me regarding this matter.

She took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the spark plugs and coil wires. Immediately after the repair, the engine completely failed. She took the vehicle back to the dealer and they stated that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced, but the failure recurred.

I have 2005 Durango bought new. I have had it shut off on me going slow, making turns and going down the interstate. I have had to put the vehicle in neutral while going down the interstate turn the key off and start the vehicle up while moving. I have had it into two different Dodge dealerships once for 2 days the next for two weeks. They did not fix this issue but found many other things that need fixed. My wife will not drive the truck because of the kids. She's afraid of it. It just sits in front of the house.

2005 Dodge Durango (hemi) my Dodge has randomly cut off on me during low speeds or turning into certain areas. It has happened 3 times to me and once to my wife. I came very close to taking out my mail box last night. My steering wheel even locked up. I called the dealer and they told me nothing like this has ever come up at their dealer. Very odd. I love the vehicle but I am very worried about my families well being. What should I do? I paid way to much money to have to worry about this kind of stuff.
Bought 2005 Dodge Durango slt on 10/21/05. On 10/25/05 it idled down and cut off but no service light came on took to dealer and they said couldn't find anything. I have called or been to the dealer 46 times from 10/05 -11/06. No panel lights came on so they stated they couldn't fix it, but the Durango will idle down and cut off in park or at low speeds. October 2006 dealer changed the cluster and problem stopped for a week. Then started again either at idle or in park. 12/06 I took back due to it started to cut off while driving. But still no panel lights and nothing showing on computer. In January 2007 was driving and cut off in the middle of crossing traffic and another car had to swerve around took back to dealer. The dealer added 1 qt of transmission fluid and problem stopped for 3 days. Then idle down and cutting off again. Then did a transmission flush due to technical support recommendations. Drove for 4 days and it cut off when turning and lost power had to slam brakes to miss a pole. Next day driving down rd and cut off had to hit brakes to stay out of the ditch because I was on a curve. I have children and this is a safety issue. First incident date was 10/25/05-present(1/21/07).
