Approximately during summer of 2013, upon starting engine, the ignition would "stick" when key was turned forward. Durango would have to be turned off and key taken out of ignition switch to try it again. Then, upon shifting into reverse and backing up, the vehicle would come to an abrupt halt and be immovable for a time, usually until putting into park and re-starting vehicle. This is when the malfunction indicator light came on. We had to have vehicle towed at which time the wheels were locked in place, causing black skid marks from its point of tow to tow truck. The auto shop replaced the emergency brake which was "stuck or locked in position". Malfunction indicator light went off temporarily. It came back on again in August, 2014.

The dash board lights/ warning lights go off and on, and the odometer and rpm gauges bounce from zero to like 5000 rpm while driving. The ac and radio and dvd and navigation all shut off and on also while driving. I took it to crown motors om June 21 and had a diagnostic tests ran and nothing came up all was fine. They told me to bring it back in when it did it and to leave it run when I go inside to let them know. I took back down there on June 24 as it was doing it all again. They immediately took it back to the shop and stated you definitely have something wrong. They told after an hour that they could only get the reading up to the ecm and anything after that it is not showing up that it is dead. They called the lead engineer at Dodge to try and find a solution. I talked to them on June 25 and still no answer. They told me they had to put $10 in gas and was going to charge that to me as they lost the signal to diagnostic sue to turning the vehicle off. They drove around four different times to try and reestablish the problem and has not happened. I called them today June 27,2013 and told I could come and pick up the vehicle as they can not get the vehicle to do the problems again to reestablish the connections. They also said if it happens again to just bring it back over so they can reestablish the connection for the problems. I know that there has been recalls for the electrical system on these vehicles.

I have a 2006 Dodge Durango that just dies going down the road with out warning! this has happened many times. It started around 80000 miles and has gotten worse. When this happens I loss all power to the vehicle including the steering and brakes. This is a very important issue that needs addressed ASAP. People carry there family's in these vehicle's. From what I have read this is a ongoing problem with Dodge during. Dodge needs to step up and fix the problem before some one is killed from this issue.

I have two issues with my Durango. During fueling the pump does not shut off causing an overflow of gas on the ground, on my shoes, etc. This is an ongoing issue that has been happening since we purchased the vehicle. My mechanic thinks it is a sensor issue but Dodge has not recalled the vehicle to fix it. The second issue is I can take my key out of the ignition while the engine and ignition are in the run position, lock the car and take the key with me and the engine will run like the key is in the ignition.

Repeat engine light alerts upon acceleration above 40 miles per hour. Engine light comes on and the truck engine misfires, it starts jerking and bumping. I've had to slow down in front of angry traffickers because I was afraid the engine would fail completely on the interstate. Twice in December 2011 within a weeks time, a coil was replaced and all 6 spark plugs, due to cracking and corrosion. Again in 2012, the truck began misfiring, and multiple coils are corroded, and again- all 6 spark plugs are as well. Upon research on the internet, I found a number of chat sites with angry Dodge owners who have been alerted to the bulletin posted by company about the faulty cowl, which by poor design leaks water onto the engine. I am now faced with replacing all the cylinders, and replacing the faulty cowl with a newly designed cowl/ pins. Labor and parts could run into the thousands easily. Other issues I have faced since purchasing the vehicle second hand in September 2011 include wiring issues: headlamps fail, and horn honks when lights are turn on. Left turn signal signals right, and right turn signal does not work at all. Drivers power window intermittenly stops functioning. Dome lamp will not turn off at times. This vehicle should be recalled immediately, and Dodge is lowest on my list for my next vehicle purchase.

Vehicle ran hot on this date,follwing the next day itshowed no problem. For the past 2 year at a stand still for about 5-10 minutes vehicle gage monitor is going up showing signs of running hot. I would imediately shut the engine off for about 1 minute. Then crank back up. The gage would go down back to normal status. If I come to another stop at a stop light it will go up again. Took vehicle to the shop several times to get it checked, accessor finds nothing wrong with it. It's a funny thing winter months my SUV would never run hot. Here in south carolina it is getting hot and the problem has now started again. I have had 3 to 4 incidents with my vehicle running hot 2015 and is sure more are to come. As usual I shut the engine off to make the gage go back to normal. And yes the running hot light does come on. We just don't understand what is going on. I would like to know if there are others having the same problem and what should I do to fix it.
