Purchased vehicle in March 2005, and within the first two days vehicle engine stalling at highway speeds while on the freeway. Took vehicle to dealer, initially advised test drove and unable to duplicate. Took vehicle to dealer again at a later date, reset memory. Problem still recurred, back to dealer and dealer reflashed PCM. Additionally, took to dealer accelerator assembly loose and bolt fell out while driving. Accelerator very loose, part not available for 3 days, concerned that may be an ongoing safety issue with these vehicles.

Without warning, vehicle stalled with total loss of engine power, steering, brakes, lighting, etc... was able to put in park and re-start vehicle. Occurred twice with a 5 week period; once on a warm sunny day while making 3 point turn and again on rainy day while making a right turn. Luckily I was going slow enough that I was able to avoid oncoming vehicles. Thus far the dealer has not been able to find the cause of the problem. They have however cleaned the throttle body and adjusted the idle. Tomorrow they will replace an O ring in the transmission. I am concerned that although I have been able to avoid a collision so far, I may not be so lucky as treacherous winter driving conditions approach. Note: I have done some research on various internet forums and it seems that this is a common problem with the Durango and the Ram 1500 with hemi engines and in all cases the mechanics have been unable to find the cause.

Vehicle stalled at a stop. No dash warning lights illuminated at stall. Second time this has happened. Vehicle taken to dealer for service after first incident. Dealer stated that they cleared fault codes and drove for fifteen miles with no problem first time. I am taking back to a different dealer now.

Vehicle stalls when making a sharp turn at slow speeds. This has happened on at least 4 occasions usually when turning into a parking space or my driveway. I brought the vehicle into the dealer and they said they could not duplicate the failure and no codes were present from the onboard diagnostics. The date shown is the most recent date of the occurrence, the first incident happened shortly after the vehicle was purchased.

While sitting at a red light on 9/9/05 my 2005 Dodge Durango with 5.7 hemi engine shut itself down. After getting it started again the check engine light remained on. Took to the dealer who did not write on the service order that the car stalled as I told them. Dealer found no problem, and gave me a sheet stating that computers sometimes have hickups. While at the dealer, I met others with same problem on the 5.7 hemi engines. This motor apparently has a defect.

Engine stalls at freeway/highway speeds causing loss of control - numerous electrical failures - transmission - A/C blows both cold & hot air at same time - power switches getting hot to touch - repairing dealer has been unable to fix - each time it is worked on - problems multiply after they flash/reprogrammed PCM/computer

My 2005 Dodge Durango has an engine stalling problem. It currently has 13000 miles on it. I bought it brand new in Dec. Since then it has stalled on us about 6 times at various speeds in drive and in reverse. I have called the local dealership 3 times now and nothing is being done about it. They continue to tell me that they have never heard of this problem and do not know what is causing it. This is a problem that concerns me because I use this vehicle to cart around my very young children so I need some thing reliable. Please help to get this problem taken care of soon.

The vehicle shuts off while driving it happened without warning. Car had been driven for about one minute the vehicle was only moving about 5 mph or less. The vehicle was put in park and restarted just fine. A month later the same thing happened at a stop sign, this time the vehicle shut off while sitting at stop. There was no warning this time either. Owner doesnt remember if the electric in vehicle was off or not. This time the vehicle started right back again. Then owner contacted dealership, there is nothing the dealer can do about it becuase no info in the system about it. The dealership needed the vehicle in order to inspect, then the owners couldnt take to dealer at that time because they needed the vehicle. This happened again with shutting off several times. Then on June 2, at approximately 30 mph, the vehicle shutt off again. This time the vehicle started back up again and the vehicle was taken to dealer. The dealer reported no problem, the diagnostic computer showed no error codes. Then stalled again the 24th of June. The vehicle was traveling about 45 this time, and making a left turn, the vehicle shut off in the middle of the intersection. The vehicle shut off again later that day, the vehicle were on, air conditioning, all shut off. The dash lights went out. There was no electricity in the vehicle except for the tail and head lights, and the vehicle had no brake lights, and this was dangerours becuase this time the vehicle shut off at night. The vehicle started again and was driven for the rest of the trip. Then vehicle was towed home.

The new Dodge 2005 with the hemi engine is stalling at point of acceleration. My wife and kids were in the car at a stop light and when she went to accelerate the car stalled. Took it to the dealer and was told nothing was wrong...happened 7 more times. I have had the car for a month. Someone is going to die if we don't get this resolved. I went to mycarstats.com and found many more people with the same problem! brand new Dodge Durangos 2005 cars stalling on on ramps, intersections and all we get is that they cant find the problem from the dealer and Chrysler states they haven't heard of any issues.

I have an 05 hemi Durango limited with 3,300 miles on it. Since new the vehicle has occassionally died when making low speed turns. The dealer has informed me that the PCM flash provided by Dodge has not corrected the problem and they are still working on a fix. Overall the vehicle has stalled five times. I have also filed a similar complaint for my 05 Ram 2500 with the hemi engine.
