Engine dies during deceleration. (slowing down for a stop sign or stop light. When this happens all power is lost including power steering. Occurs about 5-10 times a month. Nothing has been done to fix the issue, and remains an ongoing issue.

This is my second complaint. My 2006 Durango seems to not want to change gears. It seems to do it more frequently when the air is on. However, it does it way too often when the air isn't on. It seems like a big jerk, and it takes it a minute to get into the gear. Especially when I try to speed up. It happens on short trips as well as on the interstate. It makes me feel like the transmission is about to fall out. I love my car. I have only had it a little over a year. However, if these problems continue, I will have no choice but to trade it. I have already had one recall on it for the instrument panel. I need to know if there is a recall on this problem . I have talked to other people who are having the same problems.

Engine just turns off with no warning. Stalls first time this happened I had just passed a vehicle on the highway. If felt like I had run out of gas though I knew I had plenty. I coasted to the side and was able to immediately restart and ran fine. Next occurrence was driving slowly through a wildlife zoo, stopped to back up and vehicle shut off. Third: had just stopped for stop sign, shut off as I accelerated to cross intersection. Fourth: taking my children to school! turned at a busy intersection and engine quit, thankfully was able to coast through and pull to side of road. Fifth: happened today while in stop and go traffic picking kids up at school. I worry this could happen on busy interstate or in a dangerous area where I am not able to quickly get the car of the road to restart. Very frustrating and scary!!.

: the contact stated the vehicle will not go into reverse. After several attempts it will go into reverse but when it jerks and lurches forward. In March of 2005 the vehicle was taken to the dealership where test were performed but the dealer could not duplicate the problem. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership in April of 2005 still experiencing the same type of problems. Still the dealer could not duplicate the problem. In July of 2005 the vehicle was taken to a different dealership, after diagnostics test the problem was still undetermined. In December the contact received a recall letter the NHTSA campaign #05v460000 concerning the power train: automatic transmission. In December 2005 the vehicle was taken to the dealership for the recall repairs to be performed. The vehicle is still experiencing the same problems as before the recall repairs. The manufacturer has been alerted.

2003 Dodge Durango 2wd slt has had tranny failures consisting of electronic coil packs that control the band lock-up in tranny failing to engage or disengage. This problem has caused my spouse to be stuck several times and in several different places. I have found that the cost and the available procedure to fix it is to put another tranny in it with possibilities of same problems.

When put foot on the brake to shift vehicle into gear it doesn't go into gear, it just rolls and will stop. Has to play with it until it catches or pulls the emergency brake. Started out slowly then it became worse. This started on June 30, 2005. It makes a clump when putting it into reverse.

I have a 2001 Dodge Durango r/t that has had severe problems with the front end. I know that the upper ball joints have been replaced at least three times. Two of which are from my local dealer and I just received a notice that they want it done again. I also know that my lower ball joints are shot and is definitely a complication of the upper ball joint problems due to the fact that they are on the same pivot point. Also my upper and lower control arm bushings are seizing up and causing not only a substantial amount of noise but a severe amount of wheel hop while at high rates of speed on the highway. While cornering and hitting the expansion joint of a bridge or other highway bump the truck seems to want to bounce from lane to lane. I also had a drivers side front shock break in half while on the highway last week. I contacted daimler Chrysler about these problems and they didn't seem the bit least worried about it. I asked if there was any consumer complaint program or any follow up procedure that I could be involved with and he was quick to say no. He also instructed me that I could do one of two things, I could have the ball joints changed for the fourth time or get ride of the vehicle. I asked him if this was Dodges since on the whole problem by off loading the vehicle onto another unsuspecting person and he didn't say anything. He just repeated himself. I am a aircraft mechanic by trade and I can tell you right now that the faa and the ntsb would have grounded every aircraft that was affected in a situation like this. I don't know why there is such a double standard with the automobile industry. I drive around my family in this vehicle to include my 5 month old son and it scares me to death just reading the stories online that other people have been involved with. I hope it hasn't happened but what is it going to take to get this resolved with Dodge, (multiple deaths with this $30,000 lemon) thank you mike audas.

1) no warning signs 2) popping out of park and going into reverse, running me over while I was outside of the vehicle 3) have had transmission work done, always use the emergency brake do not trust being in park.

(1) normal driving on I-4 about 75 mph (2) wanted to accelerate and the rpms would not go past 3000. I tried several attempts to go faster as it usually does go well beyond 3000 but no avail. I even put it in neutral while driving and the same thing occured. (3) I placed the truck in neutral turned ignition off then on, problem solved and has not occured since then at the time I had about 2100 miles on the truck. (1) about 3 weeks after the other incident I was had just turned my truck on for the second time during the day and was about to drive when (2) just shut off with no warning, my odometer went blank and my clock went off (3) I just restarted after setting the gear selector back to neutral and it stared with no problem.

I have a 2005 Dodge Durango approximately 5000 miles. There have been several occasions (six incidents) where I was driving the vehicle and I had problems accelarating, the accelarator was reving up and I could not go faster than 20 mph. I felt as though the transmission would not shift, the rpm gauge would not go past 1. On another occasion, I was going on the freeway 65mph, and the incident occured again, this time my car slowed down to 40mph and I could not pickup speed, I panicked because I was on the freeway with my kids and I was afraid someone was going to hit me from behind. I immediately exited the freeway and took the car to the dealership. The car was driven by a service tech and the same thing happened to him. When he put it on the computer nothing would happen. So I got my car back, on the 2nd day after the incident occured again. I went back to the dealership and again they said nothing was wrong. The service dept would not do anything because nothing showed up on the computer. We contacted daimler Chrysler and the vehicle was at the dealer for the 3rd time. They said it might have been an electrical component or that the transmission needed to be tightened (whatever that means) they drove it for a week and they stated nothing happened while they were driving it. They said that "the computer adjust to each driver differently and because I may be a slow accelarator (meaning I gently touch the gas pedal that maybe this was happening to me" I stated that this incident had not only happened to me, but my husband as well. I got the vehicle thinking maybe it would be fine, but yesterday as I was driving my kids the incident occured again, and I could not accelarate past 20mph on a 45mph lane. The engine was reving up as though I had the car on neutral and it would not move. I don't know what to do anymore, please help.

2005 Dodge hemi Durango has on 5 separate occassions stalled while at idle or very low speed. Vehicle can be immediately restarted. I am thankful all episodes have been at low speeds. Dealer claimed they were unaware of this problem.

On March 14, 2005 I purchased a 2005 Dodge Durango. To date this vehicle has been in the shop 4 times. The first time it tore up I was getting on the interstate when I pressed the gas to accell the vehicle lost all power. Vehicle was taken to the shop and I was told that the computer lost it's mind and had to be reset. The second time it did the same thing only this time the shop could not find any thing wrong. The third time it done this I was setting at a red light and the vehicle lost power and would not go over 15 mph. Vehicle was towed to shop and repaired it. I was told that it was the number 4 fuel injection. The last time it tore up was this past weekend. I had all 5 of my children in the car. I was attempting to get on the interstate and the vehicle lost power. I was forced into the emergency lane and almost hit by a tractor trailer. I contacted Chrysler and they keep telling me to contact the dealership that I purchased it from. The dealership tells me to contact Chrysler. Please help me with this problem.

While driving at approximately 70 mph there was a crack in the transmission. Owner had the vehicle towed to the dealer, and owner was informed that the transmission appeared as if the driver had been going 80 mph, then suddenly shifted the vehicle into park.

On the new 2005 Dodge Durangos v6 there could be the possibilty of a roll back on a hill or incline the car does not want to take the gas when being accelerated and it fells as if it would roll backwards at any time I returned my new one and had to take a big loss on my purchase and then I got a v8 instead they did not even acknowleged the car as having a problem because they said it was to knew to make any adjustment yet and had to wait and see if the manufacturer makes a ajustment or a recall. I just want someone to make note of this problem in case some was to get hurt because of this problem with the Durango I was afraid and scared when I went up a hill and it did not respond right when it was suppose to take the gas and it wouldnt and I was not even on big hill and I would hate to have to drive it around any mountain resorts it could be dangerous in my opion, but my dealership acted as if it had no problem and that was very upsetting to me they acted as if it was something I was doing wroung but I have never had any kind of problem or every experienced any problems like this before. So please make note of this I may help someone in the future because I talked to Chrysler reps and they acted like it was no big deal and that was very wrong to be brushed off like I was now I know why people do get hurt because of people not wanting to deal with it because they dont want to admit there is a problem so I took a big loss in my purchase because I could not find any one to help me with this problem or fix it and I did not want to get hurt they would not help me .

While pulling out of a parking lot there was a loud knock and the vehicle shook. The check engine light came on, 75,000 miles. I had the vehicle towed home. The next day the check engine light was not illuminated, I had a mechanic diagnose the problem and he said there wasn't one and that sometimes the lights just come on and reset themselves. At 83,000 miles my transimission began to slip. The machnic stated that the loud knock that I experienced earlier was a rod the connects the transmission the the engine breaking and that I needed a new transmission. Transmission was replaced with only 83,000 miles on a well maintained vehicle.

10/29/04 drove car from jax, FL to sav. Ga. Approximately half way there, check gauge and no oil pressure. Had car towed to service center. Said that the screen in the oil filter or pump was clogged and tons of sludge in the engine. They flushed the screen and the engine out and changed the oil. Car ran normal from there and drove back to jacksonville fine. Once back on jacksonville, the check gauge and no oil pressure is back. Car sitting in driveway, afraid to drive to work and no money to replace what is wrong this time. Second chrylser vehicle owed and should of learned the first time when I had a Dodge caravan that had the transmission replaced 3 times and other numerous problems. Apparantly, this is a manufactuer defect in numerous products and they need to own up to the middle class people who cannot afford problems like these.

We purchased our Durango new in 8/04. On 9/ 9/04 the truck started, but died while I was backing out of my garage. We had to have it towed to the dealership. They stated it needed an update performed on the computer system. It happened again on 9/24/04 and then in oct. It had to be towed and they claimed that they apparently did not get the update completed or done properly. We began noticing then that the truck felt as if it was surging or almost skipping a gear. Multiple people from the dealership test drove it on multiple occasions. We were told that we were just feeling more w/ this vehicle because it was such a smooth ride compared to most 4wd vehicles. Does that make sense? we finally gave up. Now on 3/ 25/06 the truck died while in park in a parking lot. That same night it surged as I pulled out into traffic. W/in a few hundred yards I stopped at a light and when I attempted to accelerate it was as if the truck was going to die. On the morning of 3/28 the truck surged and when I attempted to turn the truck it died in the middle of the road. The next day it died on the way to the dealership. They kept the truck for about a week, stated they hooked it up to the computer and it showed nothing was wrong,drove it for about 30 miles during that time w/out incident. Now it has died again while I was pulling into my garage. I am tired of being told there is nothing wrong. A vehicle should not just die while you are going down a road w/out any warning. At no time have we had any lights come on the dash advising of a problem. It is very disturbing to think that Chrysler is okay w/ us driving our families around in these vehicles. I have three small children that I tote around in this vehicle and it is not very comforting to know that it will die unexpectedly.

2004 Dodge Durango 4x4, automatic transmission, at slow speeds 10 mph acceleration has a lag until 2,000 rpm at which point the transmission engages and the vehicle lurches forward rapidly.

Not reporting a failure or incident, just a poorly manufactured vehicle with an inherent problem that the dealer/company was aware of but did not disclose at time of purchase, nor do they have a fix for it. Just a shrug of the shoulders.
