While sitting at a red light on 9/9/05 my 2005 dodge durango with 5.7 hemi engine shut itself down. After getting it started again the check engine light remained on. Took to the dealer who did not write on the service order that the car stalled as i told them. Dealer found no problem, and gave me a sheet stating that computers sometimes have hickups. While at the dealer, i met others with same problem on the 5.7…

I bought my 05 durango back in may of 05 and i've had to deal with all three of the major complaints, the fuel spewing out, the stalling, and the 4x4 activating! The fuel thing i always noticed but always thought it was something that just happened. The 4x4 engaging happened when it still had the power train warranty so i took it to the dealer to get it repaired. The good thing is that they fixed it, the bad thing…

I have an 05 hemi durango limited with 3,300 miles on it. Since new the vehicle has occassionally died when making low speed turns. The dealer has informed me that the pcm flash provided by dodge has not corrected the problem and they are still working on a fix. Overall the vehicle has stalled five times. I have also filed a similar complaint for my 05 ram 2500 with the hemi engine.
