2005 Dodge Durango Transmission Problems

2005 DODGE DURANGO LIMITED, 5.7L HEMI V8 STALLS WHILE BACKING UP. FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. THE SECOND TIME ON 11/28/11, IT TOOK 3 TIMES TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE IN REVERSE. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE HEMIS AND THERE IS A TSB #0802404 TO "REFLASH" THE ENGINE AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. THE FORUMS STATE THAT THIS IS A FIX FOR SOME VEHICLES, BUT NOT ALL. I AM SCARED TO BE IN THIS CAR WITH MY KIDS NOW-WHAT IF WE STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND GET INTO A WRECK? PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE! OUR SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN, AND SHOULD BE YOURS AS WELL, DODGE! *KB

I PURCHASED MY 2005 DODGE DURANGO, 5.7L HEMI, USED FROM A DEALERSHIP. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY FLUSHED MY TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SAID THAT IF IT DID IT AGAIN THEY WOULD TRY REPLACING THE SOLENOID IN THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER THAT, THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING - MOSTLY WHEN I WAS JUST STARTING OUT, BUT ONE TIME IT JUST DIED (NO WARNINGS) WHEN I WAS DOING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY! NOW MY CAR IS STARTING TO BUCK (FEELS LIKE YOU HIT SOMETHING) AT @ 45 MPH - NOT WHEN ACCELERATING, STEPPING ON THE GAS OR DECELERATING, BUT RATHER WHEN STAYING AT A STEADY RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, MY HUSBAND WORKS OUT OF STATE, AND I FEAR FOR OUR LIVES EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE! IT IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE A LOAN ON IT! I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SAME TYPE OF SYMPTOMS. I WANT TO KNOW WHY DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT! THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT BEFORE, NOW IT'S TIME THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THESE CARS AND GET THEM FIXED BEFORE PEOPLE START DIEING! THEY ARE BLATANTLY IGNORING A KNOWN PROBLEM! *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH OUR DURANGO. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT ONE MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED WITH APPROX 60K MILES ON IT. IT IS TOTALLY AT RANDOM. I'M ALWAYS ABLE TO POP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THIS IS NOT ONLY THAT THE ENGINE TOTALLY SHUTS OFF(AS IF THAT ISN'T A HUGE ISSUE IN ITSELF), BUT THAT THE POWER STEERING/POWER BRAKES GO OUT AS WELL MAKING THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT A HUGE ISSUE. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD A STUTTER WHEN DRIVING. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER, BEING TOLD THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR PULL ANY CODES. IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM TO LOCATE THEIR DEFECT. AT THIS POINT DODGE NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS SINCE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I URGE EVERYONE TO ALSO SUBMIT THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA. *TR

2005 DODGE DURANGO STALLS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK AT LOW SPEEDS, WHILE BRAKING, TURNING, PARKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CURVES, SENDING US INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC SINCE POWER STEERING GOES OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT SEVERAL TIMES, CREATING A HAZARD. NO PARTICULAR DATE, AS MANY INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. TAKEN IT IN TO DODGE TWICE FOR SERVICE AND THEY TELL US THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE WRONG AS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE. WE WANT THIS FIXED. WE LIKE THE TRUCK OTHERWISE. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF WE FELT COMPLETELY SAFE IN IT, BUT THIS IS HARD TO DO WHEN IT STALLS WITH NO WARNING. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT AT LOW SPEEDS. SO WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP LIGHT OR SLOW DOWN TO TURN OR ARE IN A PARKING LOT, IT STALLS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, YOU CAN'T STEER BECAUSE THAT ONLY WORKS WITH THE CAR RUNNING. THIS STARTED RIGHT AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY WAS OVER AND HAS CONTINUED THROUGH TODAY. THEY ALSO DIDN'T FIX THE RECALL ITEM AND I HAVE FUEL SPILLS EVERY TIME I SET THE NOZZLE ON AUTOMATIC AND IT IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF. IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF BECAUSE THE GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE. NOW I HAVE A SPOT UNDER THE FUEL FILL THAT WAS EATEN AWAY BY GAS AND IT IS NOW RUSTY. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED OUT WHILE SLOWING AND TURNING INTO PARKING LOT, VEHICLE STALLED AFTER BACKING DOWN DRIVEWAY STOPPING AND STARTING TO PUT INTO DRIVE, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE PULLING TO A STOP IN A PARKING LOT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON AND WENT OFF SEVERAL TIMES BY ITSELF AND THE LAST TIME BY HAVING AN ADVANCED AUTO WORKER PULL THE CODE AND CLEAR IT. THE CODE STATES THE PROBLEM IS A TRANSMISSION FLUID PRESSURE SENSOR. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AND OF COURSE IT IS JUST OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT NOW. THE VEHICLE IS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. I CALLED A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC TO SEE IF HE COULD FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO NOT HAVING THE MONEY TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THE FRIEND HAS TOLD ME THAT DODGE HAS HAD A LOT OF THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS WITH THE DURANGO. MY VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED. *TR

I PURCHASED MY DURANGO IN FEB. 08 AND THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS ABOUT ONE WEEK LATER. I WAS TAKING MY 3 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT WHEN I SUDDENLY COULD NOT HARDLY TURN MY STEERING WHEEL , I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND REALIZED THAT MY ENGINE HAD STALLED. THEN I RESTARTED THE CAR AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY. I CALLED THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO REPORT IT. THE FOLLOWING WEEK I TOOK IT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THE BREAKS WORKED ON AND MENTIONED THE PROBLEM AGAIN AND THEY SAID WITHOUT AN ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER MY BREAK WORK WAS COMPLETED I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO GO HOME AND ON MY WAY UP A HILL BEHIND A SEMI TRUCK GOING SLOW ABOUT 15 MPH MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A VAN. I TURNED AROUND TO HEAD BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT THE DASH LIGHT BEING ON. SO I PRECEDED TO GO HOME. ABOUT A WEEK OR SO LATER AGAIN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A PARKING LOT MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN. HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN 180 MILES ROUND TRIP. I SPENT 6 HOURS WAITING FOR THEM TO FIX IT AND THEY COULD NOT SO THEY SENT ME ON MY WAY AND ABOUT 3 MILES DOWN THE ROAD MY ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON AND MY DURANGO STALLED AGAIN WHEN I SLOWED DOWN TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SHOW THEM KNOW THE LIGHT IS ON. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FIXED THE PROBLEM AND I RETURNED HOME. I THOUGHT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN SOLVED BUT ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER I HAD MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE DURANGO AND I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY ON TO A SIDE STREET WHEN IT STALLED AS ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS COMING AT ME AND I ALMOST GOT HIT . I KNOW DO NOT LET MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE IT IS NOT SAFE. AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT AND CANNOT HELP ME. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 DODGE DURANGO BRAND NEW,AND SINCE I HAD THIS VEHICLE IT HAS BEEN GIVEN ME PROBLEMS. THERE WERE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IDLED VERY HARD, AND IT SHUT OFF WHEN IT IDLED HARD, WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR WHEN TURNING TO GO AROUND A RAMP. WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE WHEEL LOCKED, AND I COULD NOT CONTROL THE CAR. RECENTLY, THE CARE SHUT OFF ON THE NEW JERSEY TURNPIKE AND A TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME. LUCKILY, I WAS IN THE OUTER LANE AND MANAGED TO STEER THE CAR TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE THE TRUCK COULD HIT ME AND MY FAMILY. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS. LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON UNE 10, 2007. EVERY TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. *AK
