Engine Stalls/Cuts Off While Driving Without Warning
2005 Dodge Durango (Page 2 of 6)
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.

We purchased this vehicle from Dave Smith Auto in July 2005 and have enjoyed it for many years. Then in Dec of 2013 it just started stalling without warning while you were driving and you had to quickly steer to the side of the road to restart. We drove 8 hours one day and it stalled when we were almost home. Next day it won't start, have also replaced 3 batteries in 6 mos. Just yesterday the engine started racing while driving and then it stalled while driving in traffic. Luckily I was able to pull off to the side of the road and restart it without being hit.
Now have 170,000 miles, car's in good condition, but a royal PIA. Never know when it will stall, and we'll get cremated by traffic behind us. Going to try new cam shaft and crank shaft sensors to see if that will work. Did the PEP boys fuel line cleaning for $89 and it was okay for 2 weeks, then started again. Anyone with ideas, please let the rest of know.
