The engine has quit twice now while accelerating away from a stop. Once the engine stalls, it cannot be re-started. In fact, the engine will not crank. The first time this occurred in November of 2005, the vehicle was towed back to the dealership where the pcm was re-programmed. Now during the second incident, the dealership is claiming that there is nothing wrong with the vehicle.
On 4 seperate occasions vehicle engine has stalled for no apparent reason. Most recent event occured on toll bridge nearly causing accident/loss of control of vehicle.
My 2005 Durango stalls at low speeds, often while decelerating (turns, parking etc) and is causing a serious safety issue. Engine stall causes power failure to steering and brakes and has almost cause accidents. The car starts back up right away after being placed in park. I am concerned about allowing my wife to drive with children in car.
I purchased a new 2005 Dodge duragno limited edition with the hemi 5. 7 engine on 2/1/05. Last week, around the 3200 mile mark, I experienced my first engine stall when pulling into a parking place. No lights or other indicators come on to warn you that your car is about to die! the car started up again immediately and ran fine for the next 3 days. Three days later, I was driving in busy atlanta traffic trying to turn left across two lanes of traffic. I had plenty of room when I began my turn, but the engine stalled almost immediately, died in the middle of the intersection with no steering ability, and I almost got hit by several cars and a large truck. The car immediately started back up again. I immediately called my Dodge dealership and they said "haven't heard of that before so you'll need to bring it in so we can run some diagnostics". I printed off some of the complaints at the NHTSA website and took them to the dealer with me. The service advisor proclaimed, "the internet is our worst enemy, don't listen to that stuff". Which to me meant, "Dodge doesn't want you to have any clue about what is going on with your car". I told him the information came from the NHTSA website and told him of the numerous complaints, but he didn't seem to care. Three hours later the dealer called and told me to come pick up my Durango and take it to another dealer. His diagnostic machine was broken and he had no idea when it might be fixed! I told him to take it to the other Dodge dealer. Still waiting to find out what they may or may not do. I am extremely concerned at the lack of excitement on the part of Dodge to fix this problem. I feel unsafe driving my car. I am single, have no family in this town to haul me around or borrow a vehicle from, and Dodge doesn't care. I am not very happy about having to drive this vehicle based on the accident I was almost in a few days ago. I guess some people will have to die before somenoe does something about this.
On 5/21/05 my 2005 Durango with 5. 7l engine stalled while making a right turn into a parking lot. Lack of power steering made driving difficult. I restarted the car, turned into a parking spot and the engine quit once again.
My wife owns an '05 Dodge Durango with the 5. 7l hemi engine that she's had for about 5 months. Recently, the engine stalled when she attempted to accelerate from a stop at an intersection. She was able to restart the vehicle immediately without an issue. This was the only time it happened, but I thought I would submit this incident in regards to an article that mentioned this problem in '04-'05 hemi engines.
We purchased a 2005 Dodge Durango hemi in April of 2005. Since then the engine has stalled in a variety of situations at least 15 times. We have had it to the dealer on a couple of occasions and they say they cannot diagnose or fix the problem if they can't either duplicate it (they couldn't) or find a fault code (they didn't). Now they want me to leave it for an extended period, which isn't possible. The most common time for it to stall is turning at slower speeds, though it has stalled at idle as well (I. E. Stopping at a stop light, coasting). The two worse times for me were turning left across oncoming traffic and nearly getting slammed by a school bus, and another time near the same school where the engine stalled as I rolled at 20 mph and didn't realize it until I almost ran up on a sidewalk with kids going to school. This is absolutely the truth. Other times haven't caused immediate danger but the next time could be much more serious. Someone will be hurt or worse if Chrysler doesn't do something about this!!! I understand the need to duplicate an isolated incident, but when so many hundreds of people have publicly voiced their own experiences, and who knows how many more either not saying anything or going through the ringer at the dealership, something more should be acknowledged by Chrysler and their dealers. It's unbelievable that you give them so much money for the car, then go in time after time and pay them to service it, only to have them get stone cold with you over this. Unreal! I will never buy another Chrysler product again. Ever.
While driving at 30 mph engine stalled, locking up power steering. After engine stalled, and sat for a while the vehicle could be restarted. Consumer could only drive vehicle for a short distant before it stalled again. Took vehicle to a Dodge dealer, and was informed that they could not find anything wrong.
