2005 dodge durango limited, 5.7l hemi v8 stalls while backing up. First time it happened the truck started right back up immediately. The second time on 11/28/11, it took 3 times to restart the vehicle. This has only happened while in reverse. Apparently this is a common problem with the hemis and there is a tsb #0802404 to "reflash" the engine and update the software. The forums state that this is a fix for some…

I purchased my 2005 dodge durango, 5.7l hemi, used from a dealership. A check engine light came on and i took it in for service and they flushed my transmission fluid and said that if it did it again they would try replacing the solenoid in the transmission. After that, the engine would just shut off while driving - mostly when i was just starting out, but one time it just died (no warnings) when i was doing 70 mph…

This has happened in a school parking lot several times, creating a hazard. No particular date, as many incidents have occurred. Taken it in to dodge twice for service and they tell us that nothing is wrong. Obviously they are…

This has been an ongoing issue with our durango. The first time it happened was about one month after i bought it used with approx 60k miles on it. It is totally at random. I'm always able to pop it into neutral and start it back up again as if nothing ever happened. The biggest problem with this is not only that the engine totally shuts off(as if that isn't a huge issue in itself), but that the power steering/power…

The vehicle stalls out at low speeds. So when you are at a stop light or slow down to turn or are in a parking lot, it stalls. When this happens, you can't steer because that only works with the car running. This started right after the 3 year warranty was over and has continued through today. They also didn't fix the recall item and i have fuel spills every time i set the nozzle on automatic and it is supposed to…

I have a 2005 dodge durango that has been in the shop 3 times for a "rough idle" and the dealership says they can't feel it, and don't know what it is, although it has died on me several times. Also, i just found out i need a new rack and pinion and it isn't covered under warranty. It has 54,000 miles and i have a 70,000 powertrain warranty, but apparently, it isn't covered. *tr
