2005 Dodge Durango goes dead while driving on any type of road doesn't matter if on interstate or dirt road it just dies and you don't even know it as all lights and radio work. Results in lose of ability to steer, breaks, and speed. Have to put the Durango in park once it rolls to a stop than cut it off and back on for it to work again. Sometimes it will go 25 miles with out problem at other times 5 feet. No check engine light is on and took to an automotive shop and no codes reading on the diagnostic computer. Stalls while moving on highways, dirt roads, & interstates!.

The transfer case make clicking counts when driving and while car is idle. It also makes these clicking noises while the car is off putting the car into 4 lo on its own. The car will sometimes shut off while driving low speeds and attempting to make a turn. The battery dies frequently after a week of not is use.

It is a awd car but sometime the 4lo light comes on with a very annoying noise from the bottom of the car or engine, then the speed being slowed down significantly, the car becomes hard to keep going. The streaking sound and the speed being reduced like the break being stepped on abrubtly makes me pull over for safety.

When I unlock the doors with the remote or open unlocked doors, the shift motor activates, I can hear it engaging and disengaging. There is a delay upon starting my truck before the drive gear kick in and I can proceed to drive vehicle. When I make a sharp turn going forward or backing. . . The rear tires lock up. The awd lights flickers on/off. Constant smell like something is burning.

The steering wheel became extremely difficult to maneuver. In addition, the transmission switched to all wheel drive and the speed drastically reduced.

This has happened on multiple occasions!!!!! it happens at any speed, the truck will lose all power and shut off without warning. I can't steer or do anything but put the truck in park and restart the truck. I have taken it in the be looked at and nothing can be figured out as it does it randomly. I have four children and this last time we were turning and the truck just shut off while another vehicle was coming down the street. I have researched this and sees others are having the same issue. I have had some of the suggestions done such as replacing the egr valve and flushing the system. I need an answer as I do not feel safe!!!!!!!!!!.

My 2005 Dodge Durango will go into 4 wheel low with out warning and will shift into 4 wheel lock with out waring there is something goin on with the 2005 Dodge Durango I have read many forums with 500 people saying the same thing . Please make Dodge recall this as it is going to result in fatalities . A lot of people are changing the transfer case , transfer case motor and electrical and it keeps doing the same thing to make these vehicles unreliable and can cause death to my family and others as well please make Dodge recall the 4 wheel drive .

I have a 2005 Dodge Durango limited 4x4 it constantly locks into 4lo and 4lock all on its own and engages on its own even with vehicle off most times locking in 4lo causing tires to stick and very difficult to drive or turn this happens at any rate of speed also when first starting truck and putting it in drive or reverse transmission is gives a loud air leaking noise and takes a long time to pick up and drive I have just recently bought this vehicle and have taken it back to the dealer multiple times to be told they are unsure what is causing the issue. I have done research and see that several Dodge Durango owners are having this issue please help.

Vehicle switches to 4lock automatically while driving at high and low speeds. Vehicle becomes sluggish and makes it impossible to turn. At this point I fear for my life. After reading so many complaints of the same issue. I see I'm not alone.

On 3/19/2014 I was driving in the middle lane of a very busy street called gratiot Ave with heavy traffic and the engine just stopped. I could not accelerate and had just enough speed to slowly merge right and turn into a shopping mall off the street in order to miss oncoming traffic. My truck had completely stalled.

2005 Dodge Durango 5. 7 hemi. While driving down the road the service 4wd warning light started blinking and the 4wd started to activate on its own. As the vehicle sits when activating the door locks with the remote the 4wd actuates on its own.

I was reversing out of my garage, stopped and shifted into park to pull up a little and then was going to reverse again. While shifting into drive the car stuttered three times and accelerated forward at full speed crashing into my house and going right through my bathroom and laundry room. My daughter said she heard the screeching tires from inside the house. My friend and I were both injured in the incident as well as now having to repair my house.

While in awd the vehicle switches to 4 lo by itself. This makes it hard to make turns, forward and reverse. The 4 lo light blinks and service 4 wd lights stays on. I do not manually switch out of awd, as 4 wd is not needed. However, as I stated before, it switches on its own. On the date of the incident, the vehicle would not return to awd from 4 lo. I was told to unhook the battery terminals and after I replace them back to the posts, it would reset the awd. This did not work. My children and I were stuck on the side of the road until help arrived. I have researched this topic and read complaints from others with the same problems with the same vehicle. Many of them saying after paying out large amounts for parts and repairs the problem is still occurring. Many are not even sure where to start as far as repairs go. I would like some definate answers and diamlerchrysler to be held accountable. Thank you.

The car begins to sputter and stall at constant speeds, then stalls while running which disables the power steering and brakes. This situation is profoundly dangerous as it renders the car nearly unable to stop. The only way you can stop is if you can get the car into neutral, coast off the road and quickly restart the engine. The engine light does come on during. I have gotten this issue repaired four times and it continues to occur and the sensors that correspond to the code have been replaced twice each and are in full working order. Dodge is aware of the issue but will not do anything.

Dodge is aware of the prevalence of this issue and is unwilling to cooperate because they have not made a recall as of yet.

Vehicle stalls during at low speeds, often during parking lot or driveway maneuvers; - they occur during decelerations, such as braking for a stop sign or traffic signal. Happens multiple times without warning which has led to near accidents. Extremely dangerous. Surprised that there have been two investigations that have both been closed. There needs to be a recall ASAP.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. The contact stated that while traveling at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted after being shifted into neutral and taken to a private mechanic where it was found that the throttle control sensor had failed. The contact personally repaired the vehicle. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Vehicle purchased used in June 2010. Within days of purchase, vehicle began stalling while pulling out into traffic. Vehicle was returned to the dealer several times. Egr valve was replaced and throttle service done, idler pully replaced. Stalling problem continued to occur on and off along with hard shifting, hesitating, lack of power issues. Transmission rebuilt in Jan 2012 after it "froze" backing out of the driveway. Bell housing leak detected and fixed in June 2012. Stalling worsened, occurring not only from start up but while traveling straight in acceleration to speeds just above 40 mph. Revving in park, neutral and while stopped in traffic started in early 2013 and continues today. Have had vehicle in for service on numerous occasions with no fix to the problem. Torque converter clutch, water pump, fuel injector, coil, vacuum sensor, air intake sensor, knock sensor, pcv valve, plugs and wires have all been replaced or repaired but problems persist. This vehicle is a danger as it stalls without warning in heavy traffic and when pulling out into traffic and revvs so high at stops that I have had to put both feet on the brake to prevent it from lurching into the vehicle in front of me.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. While making a left turn with without warning the vehicle stalled. He was able to restart the vehicle. A technician from the dealer concluded that the throttle body increased the levels of carbon which caused low air flow at idle. The pcm was reset. The failure resurfaced, so she contacted the dealer. The technician stated that the ais was slow, so they repaired the idle and the ais control motor. She brought the vehicle back to the dealer 5 weeks later. The technicians discovered that the minimum air steering was too low. They adjusted the sir setting and replaced the idle arm motor. However at relatively low speeds the vehicle would continue to stall. The failure mileage was 19716. The current mileage was 48000.

My 05 Dodge Durango is surging real bad while at a stopped position. After a couple minutes of surging it will shut itself off. I have taken it back to the dealership where I purchased it and the dealership has put it into the shop 3 times. The bodyshop told me they cleaned out something and that should fix it but it didn't. It is currently in the shop again and I just bought it on may 1st 2008.

The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Durango. While driving approximately 45 mph, the vehicle surged to approximately 60 mph. The acceleration lasted for approximately 30 seconds. The contact had to depress the brake pedal with both feet and turn off the vehicle. The failure occurred two additional times before the vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. Nhtsa campaign id number 02v020000 was referenced for the 2004 model as having the exact same failure. There were no injuries. The current mileage was 12,980 and failure mileage was 12,970.

: the contact stated while driving 50 mph, the speedometer reading rose from zero to 80 mph, however the actual vehicle speed remained constant. The vehicle jerked, then stalled completely. The contact was able to shift into neutral and let the vehicle drift backwards to avoid a collision with another vehicle. It was taken to a service dealer, where the ignition switch was replaced, however the problems persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the service dealer where the dealer was unable to determine the problem until it became worse.

: the contact stated the vehicle stalled suddenly without warning at 25-35 mph on five occasion. After pulling off of the road and waiting a few minutes, the vehicle restarted on each occasion. There were no lights illuminated on the dash prior to each incident. The first four times the dealership could not duplicate the problem. The fifth time the dealership determined the throttle needed adjusting.
