Car is stalling when at a stop or slow speeds. It just dies with no warning. It is getting worse. I will not sit at a stop without shutting off. It seems to me it is the nhtsa ea05018 problem. I think the recall needs to be reopened. *tr

First, the cruise control stopped working. Then, the speedometer and odometer quit working when the abs, parking brake, check engine, and traction control lights all came on. Took it to the dealer to repair the instrument cluster recall, and was told that it needs a new abs control module and wiring harness. The wiring harness is completely melted, probably because of a short in the control module - at least that's…

Alarm/key fob fails to activate due to defect in soldering of battery holder to circuit board. Found many people with the same problem on carcomplaints.com. The battery holder in 2004-2006 dodge keys comes apart from the circuit board, making the key not work, and stranding you where ever you happen to be. When you open the key, you see the battery holder out of where it was attached to the 'motherboard', and can…

This has been increasing in frequency over the past couple of months with it occuring twice yesterday, march 29,2010. This is becoming a serious…

The internet is full of instances of this same problem, but my dealer says no recall pertaining to this matter. They are replacing the gas tank at no charge, but say that i must pay for a diagnosis and a replacement sensor…

Recently, toyota has had problems with spontaneous acceleration. It appears that both foot pedal and electronics are at fault. I believe the problem may be more widespread. I own a 2005 dodge durango which suffered from spontaneous acceleration. The "brain" had to be replaced twice. Once when i got the suv and last year. It would be interesting if the electronic computer part or parts were made by the same…

I have visited a few recall sites and various people from all over are having this problem. The vehicle has been checked out for many things to include spark…

2005 dodge durango with 5.7 hemi engine will shut off without warning while driving. Does not throw a code so the dealer can't find the problem. Most times it will re-start but sometimes takes several attempts before restarting. Sometimes it happens more than once a day, sometimes a couple of times a week....need help to get dodge/chrysler to do something about the problem. Bought new in 2005 and didn't start having…
