While slowing down, or at stop light, or starting to accelerate, the engine cuts out with out warning. Usually while taking my kids to school. This is very dangerous, it happens a few times a week. I have done my own research and it seems to be a major problem. Dodge has done nothing to correct the issue and probably wont until some one dies. Its a shame that some one has to die to get the attention of the right…

Dodge 2004 durango stalled while taking a right turn onto side street. Unable to finish turn or got off the road. I was panicked, found flashers to turn on, then instructed to by helpful passerby to turn key off, and restart car. This worked, hasn't happened again. I take this very serious, my young, new drivers, children are able to drive this vehicle and wouldn't know what to do if this happened to them. I want…

While sitting at a red light the vehicle stalled. I put it in park and it started right up. There was no sign of running rough before the stall, it just was idling and cut out. A week later on the highway at approx. 60 mph the vehicle bucked like it wanted to stall but didn't. It did this three times in less than a minute. I accelerated and it seemed to help. *tr

I have a 2004 dodge durango with 73,600 miles. For the last couple of months it's been acting up. The second i slow to a stop or put it in park, the rpms start jumping around. It has stalled on me several times. When i accelerate the rpms spike and it doesn't seem to want to go, but jerks like it is going to stall and then takes off. It's kind of scary. I've taken it to several shops, but they can't find why it is…

I own a 2004 dodge durango. I was driving about 40 mph and it just stalled. I waited a few minutes and it started back and drove just fine. I took it to the dealership and they stated that it is a problem. They advised me to drive it and if it does it again, to bring it back. However, after doing research on the net i found that this model has the tendency to stall. I'm shocked that dodge did not have an answer for…
