2005 Dodge Durango
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Dodge dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: The second generation Durango was introduced in 2004 and instantly came under fire for, well, catching on fire.
From 2004-2006 electrical overloading in the driver's side instrument panel caused numerous reports of interior fires. The interior infernos became so commonplace that Chrysler eventually issued a recall.
The problems didn't stop there, however. Owners of the recalled vehicles complained about being treated unfairly and given take-it-or-leave-it low ball settlement offers. "They offered me $2000 under NADA retail as a settlement," said one owner, "and have been rude and hostile to deal with." Nothing says awesome service like treating your customers rudely after their cars have already caught on fire.

I had a engine code light up for P0156 after the Durango started to spit and sputter like the engine was going to cut off. After doing a little Youtubing, o2 sensor are a common issue that can cause engine misfires. I went to the parts store and bought a new one. Tried to replace it with no luck (caked solid with rust). Took to a local mechanic and they changed it for $50 (out $84 bucks labor plus sensor). The 5.7 Hemi is too sensitive to sensor hiccups. Dodge needs to change the PCM programming to not cause the truck to stall out or shut off for minor things that will go bad at some point. Engines cutting out on the highway or busy streets is dangerous.
