2007 Durango randomly stalls while driving down tbe highway. It has stalled as many as 3 times in 12 mile trip from home. It stalls while idling at a stop light. It will stall when slowing down and the transmission will shift hard at times. You never know when it will stall. I'm scared to drive it. It stalled on the interstate when I was driving in heavy traffic at 60mph. I know other models have been recalled and it seems to be a frequently ask question on some Dodge forums. This is a life threatening problem. I have replaced the camshaft and crank sensor, ignition coils, pcu and asd relays. Something us dangerously wrong with this vehicle. This has been occurring for several months and my lifetime warranty was voided because they said I took it in too early to have it checked. No one called or let me know I needed to have it inspected but they can call me every single day to tell me there is an airbag recall. It isn't mportant when you can't drive your vehicle because it is too dangerous.

My 2007 Dodge Durango limited has been having an issue where the 4X4 keeps turning itself on without me actually engaging it. Ive been having a very huge with solving the issue but I was able to read a forum which stated that I should fill out this form. This issue happens when the vehicle is parked, in motion, or when I hit the unlock button on the key pad.

Vehicle is switching into 4WD low while in motion. I have also heard the actuator activating while the vehicle is not running and without the key in the ignition. I believe this to be an electrical issue based on research that appears to be happening in multiple vehicles for Dodge. I am concerned that the system could change into 4WD or 4WD lock at a highway speeds causing dangerous and unsafe driving conditions.

Vehicle shifted into 4WD and then to neutral and would not shift back. Had to pull to side of road to avoid a collision. The problem here is actually the transfer case motor. On the AWD model it is a 2 speed motor on 2wd it is a one speed motor. This is important because you need to know which you have if you are looking to replace

Engine quit. Similar I think to like car that I have recall on for tipm nhtsa24V-530 seems awful coincidental. Multiple occurrences but all when stopped on this car. Perhaps same part used in prior year that is being recalled for 2011.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Durango. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 mph, the four wheel drive switch turned on independently. The failure recurred numerous times.

2007 Dodge Durango slt 4X4, stalling and engine failure without warning while driving down the road. The first few times the engine stalled it would lose all power and stop in the intersection with little to no way of controlling the vehicle. Once the vehicle stalled and several more times in an attempt to get safely out of the road the engine would no longer start. The dealership has had the vehicle for several days with no luck in finding the issues. I also have issues with the fuel system when filling the vehicle with gas it shoots out of the tank everytime it is filled up. This started at approx 45K miles. I was unaware that this is a safety issue, since it is a know problem with Dodge it should be addressed.

The car flashes 4lo consistently and, you can hear under the car when your not even driving the car switches into different 4X4's. when, you unlock the door it switches into different 4X4's. when, you go into reverse and, turn your wheel all the way the car locks and, you can't move unless you turn your wheel a different way. It also does this in forward. This is an issue that has been happening to other people and, Dodge still has not done anything about this. If, you go on this website you will see other people with different year Dodge that this has happened to and, yet there still is no recalls. This has to be fixed or someone can, get hurt with the car locking like this and, it going into different 4X4's. www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T4148_ds482593?actionmessages=your+answer+has+been+posted.

I will be driving and my 4WD lock will engage without me turning it on causing my tires to stick to the road. It prevents me from turning my steering wheel without the car acting like it is going tip over. It seems like the same problem that was experienced with the 2006 Dodge Durangos.
