My alternator was overcharging my battery, replaced both. still having an overcharging "sweating battery" issue. The vehicle has suddenly died at low speed, but was able to start. The check engine light comes on and goes off, sometimes it is off for weeks, other times for a day, the code it sets is always different, even for components that have been replaced. tells me I have a large leak , a small leak in the evap, egr is shorted to ground, ait is out of spec, etc. Now my transmission has shifted from fifth to third back to fifth to fourth, all while at low speed in cruise control. The speedometer, while in cruise control, will jump to 3000rpm, down to 1500, and between all at the same speed.

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.

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.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE DURANGO AND NOTICED THAT EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE TRUCK AT A GAS STATION, INSTEAD OF THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTTING OFF ONCE THE GAS TANK WAS FULL, GAS WOULD SPIT/BACK OUT OF THE NOZZLE AREA AND RUN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE GAS STATION, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED THREE MORE TIMES AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND APPARENTLY, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OTHER DODGE OWNERS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEDUCTIBLE. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON DODGE BEHALF. I'M AFRAID THAT BECAUSE I HAVE TO WAIT TO COME UP WITH THE DEDUCTIBLE, A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR IN THE MEANTIME. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS LETTER.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY LOSES ALL POWER AND DIES WITH NO REAL WARNING. IT HAS DIED ON THE FREEWAY NUMEROUS TIMES WITH THE VEHICLE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 70 MILES AN HOUR, ON SIDE STREETS GOING UNDER 30, WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS, WHILE PLACED IN PARKED IN PARKING LOTS, AND ONCE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS DISPLAYED AND DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. WHEN IT DIES ON THE FREEWAY I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SAFELY PULL OVER SO THAT I CAN PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART IT. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, AS I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED LAST TIME IT DIED.
