Similar to other reports given to nhtsa, my 2005 dodge durango stalls at slow speeds while turning the vehicle. To date, no damage has occurred. The occurrence is intermittent, as it has happened approximately 4 times within the past 8 months. Dodge service reps are unable to repeat the problem and offer no solution.

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.
